all i want for 2026 is that gigantic rancid AI bubble to finally burst in such a catastrophic way that the consequences will be so good and i'll never have to see another AI generated image ever again

Like to charge, reblog to cast.

dude shoshana zuboff talks at length about pokemon go in her book surveillance capitalism, not only about how niantic used pokemon go for data mining-- like this article is talking about-- but also how it was used for direct behavior modification. starbucks was the first brand to make a deal with niantic. every starbucks became a pokestop, and so suddenly you were digitally incentivized to go to starbucks-- go enough times for the pokestop and you just become someone who goes to starbucks. plus niantic's ceo was literally the former lead of Google's Geo division (which handles google's maps/earth programs)
