    You’re making that up, right?
    This is from an 80s movie about a distopian future (like RoboCop or Total Recall), right!?

    I mean, do you stop at red lights in that situation? You probably have to… Do you keep the speed limit and have some small talk with the guy fighting for his life, while you sit in traffic?

    I’m trying to come up with a dialogue that follows these rules, but it gets weird fast.

    You ghoulishly sloush around the aisles, avoiding eye contact at all cost, but still a customer talks to you:

    C: “Hi, excuse me. I’m looking for tomatoes.”

    You: “We are out for today.”

    C: “Oh, that’s unfortunate.”

    You: “” (still avoiding eye contact)

    C: “Well, how about I come back tomorrow?”

    You: “There will be a new shipment of tomatoes by tomorrow.”

    C: “Okay, great! Then I just come back tomorrow?”

    You: “If you come back tomorrow, there will be a new shipment of tomatoes.”

    C: “Are you alright?”

    Avoiding eye contact, you silently slither away.







  • Basically I see two options:

    1. This works for advertisers and based on your “profile” you are strongly influenced by the ads shown to you. So might just as well give your data to Meta and Google, who already sell profiled (and not individualised) ads.

    2. This doesn’t work for advertisers and you are not strongly influence by the ads shown to you. So the advertisers could just as well put a link somewhere and hope it is found by their target audience.

    Also I don’t my browser, my OS or any other core component on my system to be in bed with people who are trying to extract as much money as possible from me.
