I weep for my newborn, whose reality will be marred by so much fakeness

I freaking hate the future, man. I’m so sick of this shit.

I remind everyone that Google invested not once, but twice in this company, for a total of $350 million

Fascinating stuff.

I do think there will eventually be pushback against the current oligarch model of technology, but it is likely I will be much older when it happens.

Just the nature of history. We are pretty early in the information age.

The Samsung robot army will make an uprising really difficult

Do I want my face in ads? No. Not at all.

Would I want this same tech used to character swap myself into movies, or just swap actors in whatever? ...okay yeah that might be kinda fun novelty.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Awesome. Stand on the big X and pull the lever, Samsung.

Someone at Samsung submitted a user story only to troll, and it worked "I need you to drain my phone battery and data plan for ads when I dont even look at it"

Yeugh. This makes me feel sick.

[–] ohwhatfollyisman@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

who the fuck is going to buy anything that's endorsed by my ugly mug?

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

Stuff like this always reminds me of the personalized ads in Mass Effect (like here: https://youtu.be/hMdIypwM2KI ). That game has accurately depicted the future.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

what a pile of fuck

[–] justlemmyin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I have an ancient Samsung. Its going to die soon. I don't think I can get a pixel here. What are my options, coz I also hate apple?

[–] Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Just get a mid-range Samsung device and remove the relevant apps and get a custom launcher.

Or get a Fairphone if you can afford it.
