Man people in the future are going to be so hosed up emotionally. Human beings are just databases to be mined by technology.

lol if you think emotions will exist in the future

humanity is going through rapid self selection: everyone in the present who has an emotion kills themself*

Congratulations, Amazon, you've invented the Automat. A big fancy invention from 1895.

That's the most disappointing part about this dystopian cyberpunk future, so many of the crazy sci fi innovations are just really really old ideas. The biggest of which being the steady slide towards feudalism.

If there is any future where humans still exist on this cursed Earth, it's because whatever AI reaches the singularity slowly tortures us so it can fulfill it's core directive of collecting more data. I mean you know if that hasn't already happened and we're all already exist in that simulation.

Keeping an eye on customers in a store to optimize for their shopping habits isn't particularly new either. If they get useful data out of it, it's possible normal stores will start implementing the same systems. It's fair to be creeped out, but it's nothing legally questionable.

What would be new is if they're grifting a whole bunch of unauthorized data from your phone in the process, which they're probably also doing, considering how tech companies read your emails, try to sell you on devices that record everything you say, and occasionally just steal data from private networks while driving along all mapped roads.

stores for decades have already altered layouts based on shopping patterns. it's why milk is usually in the back, for example

interacting with customer service employees is not a good kind of human interaction. it's a social poison

fundamentally, there's nothing wrong with automating away pointless drudgery, as long as the benefits go to society and not to some rentseeking rear end in a top hat

"It is worth implying a rape victim must be bought, because she forgot to strip off all the #brands off her possessions like they do in Mythbusters before going on camera, in order to geek out on Twitter over just how much revenue that generates", the ESPN sports reporter thought. "Oh, you thought my intention was to imply she was bought instead of exploiting this as a moment to egotistically take glee in my ability to calculate such things. You are mistaken!"
