“The secret ingredient is crime”. ~Super Hans
How about
- reinventing trains but worse
- rocketing amount of space launches filling up junk
- we deliver everything but once we take over it’ll all be crap rip off products (for slave wages)
- we deliver any food by people who can’t drive (for slave wages)
- we’ll create algorithms to enforce society divisions and hurt mental health of children
- we’ll take over a popular platform and make it even more disgusting and fascist
Personally I’d say every single product and service being transparently wrapped in a personal information honeypot
Just give me your ID bro. It’s totally to protect the kids bro.
So like… all of it?
I like those note-taking apps that require my location for a better user experience
What do you mean you don’t want location tags in your notes?
Omg stop it, you are making me nervous. Okay, I will Accept terms and conditions
In case someone needs help:
Uber/Lyft
Airbnb
Bitcoin/Crypotocurrency
ChatGPT/LLMs
Because you have 2/4 general terms:
- Rideshare
- Short term rentals
- Crypto
- LLM
Cryptocurrency not Cryptography to disambiguate again
Cryptozoology? I KNEW IT WAS GONNA BE FUCKING BIGFOOT!!!
Thanks, new anxiety unlocked
Sorry, at this point the term “crypto” has been thoroughly claimed by the shysters.
Tales from the Crypt
shouldnt 4 also include AI generated images?
Better term would probably be generative AI to also cover music, video and my grandmother’s soul.
Llms generate those afaik
No, those are generally diffusion models, not large language models. Language models generate text.
Uber/Lyft
Airbnb
Apart from the recently added surge pricing, what else is illegal about these 2?
dependent on where you are, they are textbook skirting the law. uber got crushed when they launched in sweden because taxi drivers need to do basically the same training as bus drivers. it’s an extra letter on your license, with all that entails of age limits, theory and practical tests, x amount of time driven a year etc.
nowadays ubers in sweden are just taxis, which hilariously means that they by law have to have a price list on the cars. which basically kneecaps their entire business model.
Taxis and hotels used to be strongly regulated industries. For both, permits were required as well as regular checks. But Uber/Lyft/Airbnb created a system outside of the standard legal framework, allowing them to run an almost lawless business. So I wouldn’t say illegal but ethically grey.
oic, I guess it doesn’t make much of a difference where relevant laws are either pretty lax or inadequately executed.
Hmmm … the technology that is literally driving people insane so a few investors can make advertising money
“We’re living in the future. I’ll tell you how I know. I read it in the paper. Fifteen years ago.”
“Exploiting immigrants to deliver food”
Wait till you learn about their latest innovation!
Exploiting individuals from other countries to bypass labor laws in the country of business operation via distributed outsourcing. Why even pay minimum wage in the US?
Forgot “Glorified Pump-&-Dump scheme” (NFT’s)
NFTs are basically Bitcoin and fall under fake money for criminals.
Stamp collecting for criminals
“Expensive cartoon monkey pictures”
Where’s “video games that you never actually own, but at least you pay to beat them”?
Where’s “removal of a common phone feature, because if you don’t buy a $528 external DAC and a $9164 planar headphones, you’ll be okay with a pair of raycons”?
Where’s “video games that you never actually own, but at least you pay to beat them”?
This new and groundbreaking technological innovation?
So gatcha games are just video games returning to their roots?
It gets funnier when people do everything they can to not even play them, even paying to cheat
It’s like Idiocracy and the waiting guy

I personally hate the “thanks to AI you now can speak to your dead relatives” ones. Especially those ones which try to spin it like a personal story for the developer of the app. Oh shut up, you would sell your own mother for money. And also you are too late to jump on that bandwagon so get lost, we have enough of you leeches.
Literally the exact plot of a black mirror episode.
I swear there are some people watching Black Mirror and furiously taking notes
And it was such a heartbreaking experience, I dont know who saw that and said yes daddy please.
Also the hit comedy Small Wonder that ran from 1985-1989?
I HATED that show.
Well black mirror is a documentary
On a related note, I personally hate the AI partner/friend ones as well, where it’s clearly preying on the lonely, insecure, or desperate. It’s dastardly, dystopian, and frankly, quite sad. How many children’s media show rich children as being quite miserable sods whose parents think that not having friendship can be resolved by buying their kids a friend?
You could easily see that being in a cyberpunk story, where you can rent a friend or partner from a megacorporation, but if you don’t pay the rent, they’ll be repossessed and deleted/destroyed. The data would be collected and used regardless.
yeah was gonna mention those too but hate the relatives one even more passionately so focused on that.
Having watched enough Kitboga I think we’re underestimating the impact of the sheer joy and catharsis fake money for criminals ends up causing
Don’t forget about the tech/government surveillence state that is all up in your ass
The Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus.
Need to add illegal gambling to the list
Naw, crime is legal now.
What’s worse?
Illegal gambling in traditional sense (poker, dice, slots, etc) or legal gambling loopholes like video game lootboxes? 🤔
Probably loot boxes since it more directly targets children
Much like flavored tobacco or alcoholic drinks directly target children. /s
Downvote but no argument? It’s exactly the same kind of logic being used to push age verification laws.
Protecing children is a parents job first and foremost, all the excuses I hear from parents read to me like maybe you shouldn’t have had children if you can’t dedicate the time to educating yourself and watching over their activities to a minimal degree.
All the laws being proposed and implemented generally just impact adults much more then children anyway.
