Welcome

I used pangur to cover my mouth when I coughed and someone saw

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)

these cats are displaying remarkable theory of mind skills by not only registering that the humans can perceive them but actively trying to manipulate that perception! that requires one to be aware that other individuals have complicated interior thoughts of their own, to know that those thoughts are not always based on truth, and to quickly decide on the best possible “lie” for the situation. this is why I despise animal intelligence tasks based on obedience— some of the most clever moments stem from intelligent disobedience.
