Important is to have a illusion of choice, a play-thing of liberty. A painted on door. Buttons for settings that do nothing. Freedom is the illusion of choice.

So edgy.

The socialists usually do the "its not real libertarianism" when the cognitive dissonance of ideological failure hits - and the persecute the failing humans as traitors? Maybe do that too? Make "privacy settings violation" prosecutors office, demanding citizen spend at least n hours per week on the shenanigans?

Zero relevance. I mean, Stardew Valley has nothing to do with Financial Times or buying clothes from Shein ;)

I was wondering how they made the leap between these topics :P So basically it stood out like a sore thumb and was a random, disconnected sentence with a link inbetween the output you have actually asked for?

Or you go golden platinum extra special customer - to become even more addless for now. I find it hilarious that they insert the adds that manual though. It would be so easy, to generate subconcious addds with an LLM. Like weave a slogan reminder into the conversation...

There's a black mirror episode like this. Not quite as bad having an AI doing it, though. A woman needs this treatment after a brain injury. Iirc it clones her brain onto their servers. It's super experimental, it's a free surgery with a subscription service where you need to be within the supported area like cell towers. If she stops paying for the service she will die. They promised to expand the support area to mo…

Similar to the cloned dead kid in Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die who comes back embedded with ads and won't shut up about how much he loves "appleberry peach tea, it's only got 70 calories and it's delicious. Made from real fruit flavoring".
