My mind is telling me that surely this is satire; then it reminds me that I cannot be sure of that anymore, and that it may have been foolish to be sure of it at all. e: Yes, I checked because the name Meta is so stupid it didn't register that they'd actually go through with that so I didn't get the joke. e2: The more I think about it, the more perfect a statement about everything wrong with "our generation" that name is.

I love how everyone is universally making fun of Facebook's new name (Meta, sadly it isn't "Meat") - I haven't seen a single person online say anything good about it. Everyone thinks the name is dumb, and everyone thinks the logo looks awful. But an executive likes it so that's how it is.

What does the ultimate ideas guy with no actual imagination or talent go to when they need to change something? They go "meta." It's so perfect, I hate it so much. Thank you, Mark Zuckerburg. I hate you, unconditionally. Just be you.

Shear Modulus posted:the next step is trying to track you throughout the store via bluetooth or whatever and pitching you stuff on your coupon app in real time, or tracking your web usage through the store's free wifi to see that you're looking up the price for this thing on amazon and then immediately offering to match that price so they don't lose that sale. Yeah, I was thinking the inevitable issues with how people actually behave (me standing indecisively in front of the freezer while someone else reaches in from the side without really seeing the price screen) will drive this to gaze-tracking levels of surveillance to deconflict prices/maximizing engagement/ whatever. Which I believe would answer how Thanatosian posted:they'll make it racist, too.

There are also some laws which are very commonly broken, but which can be used for selective prosecution, like how during the 2020 protests there was some use of statutes on the books related to loitering on sidewalks or whatever that hadn't been enforced in 30 years

Zuck talks like one of those people in language learning software. Like he's just focused on making sure you hear all the words and know how to pronounce them but with absolutely no care given to the cadence of the sentence or where the emphasis should be. Like when he asked if she could send that to his Dad it almost felt like I was supposed to repeat the sentence back and be graded on it.

Thanatosian posted:That may have been me. And it's not only a matter of updating prices in real-time; if you can do that, and you're using something like Amazon's no-checkout model, where it just charges you as you wheel your cart out the door, they could charge different individuals different prices based on the personal data they have gathered about you. this reminded me of that time some travel website used adaptive pricing and just flat-out added $50 to the cost of plane tickets if you were using a Mac.

Which is not fun and probably stifled me immensely. But it's probably better than the confidence that comes with always being the boss except with your dad. Actually since I had that already at twelve, the real benefit was probably in pushing past it and just not caring to some degree. But again,
