How is it bizarre? Being an out-of-work celebrity and going right-wing is the most lucrative career decision.

I don't see any replies, anyone's timeline, there is nothing accessible on my end except the tweet if I click on an embed... it asks for an account for anything else but a single tweet.

If you have a basic understanding of tech, your phone constantly doing real time voice transcription would take either a constant stream of data to the cloud to translate there, or constantly spiking the CPU to do it on device. It would be incredibly obvious and easy to find since *something* has to be processing this audio into text to hunt out keywords for.

The reality is, they don't need your audio. People aren't as unique as they think and they have so much data about you and other people like you that they can very narrowly target you without needing to hear your thoughts.

Right wing conspiracy theories are just much more attractive than the left wing ones, so they colonized the sponge-like substance that used to be his brain more efficiently.

I wanted to bring that up that anyone who had the know how could easily monitor their phone for microphone activation or voice packets.
Android OS is opensource, so either they'd be able to see such things in code or they could run a test. Do some apps take voice clips for ads? Yeah probably, it'd be in their TOS. But overall there's no phone conspiracy by big android or whatever.

he also went from atheist jew to practicing jew or something during that time and said he was interested in his faith again... then never talked about it ever again.

tbh I work for the zucc in a tech role and in our q&as he has mentioned that he is practicing. this happened pretty recently

Surveillance capitalist companies failing at capitalism because they do not explain to their actual customers (the people who buy the ads) the abilities they have to make those ads effective.

Do you think it's more likely that there is the massive extra-secret data collection happening that even people working in the literal industry that should be utilizing that data collection don't know about? Or is it more likely you briefly visited a website to look at an image of the coffin design while talking with your friend and the trackers on that site then pinged the ad network and put you in the "looked at coffins" demo. (Something that we know is happening and that data firms proudly tell their customers they have the ability to do.)

Given that we regularly find out about things that surveillance capitalist companies have been tracking because of leaks and journalists, rather than their press conference, I’m not sure why you’re under the impression that social media companies are 100% transparent about the data they collect or how they collect it. They don’t have to be able to say ‘we listen to their conversations’ - they just need to be able to say ‘we can target with x data points with categories down to yz specificity’. I still buy KFC, I don’t demand to know what the 11 herbs and spices are.

I did not look at any pictures of coffins.
