They’ll give it all the social interaction and wisdom scraped from YouTube clips.

Oh, it’s now tied into Xbox Live so you need an Xbox account, get achievements, collectibles, challenges and making it ad free requires a subscription of €1.99 per month. Not shitting you.

And unskippable ads in solitaire

I resorted to having Chrome for work things, Opera for Youtube and Firefox for the good stuff. Divide and conquer, I guess.

Now I feel old for also playing Castle Wolfenstein

Reminds me of the expression: “it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitalism.”

The current system is indeed slowly ripped apart by its own internal contradictions, just as all other systems in the past did, but the new system is not there yet. The in-between is always a confusing time while people try to cling to the old system like Stockholm syndrome to their captors. It’s only going to get worse.

It can’t be bargained with, it can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity! Or remorse or fear and it absolutely will not stop!.. ever… until you are dead!

Yeah, that’s humans for you

repurposed for censorship of anything a totalitarian leaning government doesn’t like

It’s basically guaranteed they use it against critical journalists, political opponents and activists right out of the gate. It’s what always happens when they get the ability to spy on citizens. And the real criminals move to unofficial encrypted platforms mostly out of reach of law enforcement.

TL;DR: “Look, you are here to make value for shareholders only. Everything else is expendable.”

Then this one should give you nightmares: https://youtu.be/YJg02ivYzSs

Except in this case it won’t be open and all profits go to the idea guy

You need a magnetic personality to make this work. No personality, no movement. And if you have a personality that pushes things away, the car might explode.
