I need someone far more brilliant than me to write or make a video about how ai/ tech is rebranding and ”sucking” women in the same way the tobacco industry convinced women that smoking was a ”feminist” choice.
Staying of social media ( this doesn’t count!) is so odd. It seems like I’m founding out random shit waay later than other people.
Tonight, I accidentally stumble across a video about ai. It was related to something else I was watching YouTube. I have shut down the algorithm so I truly only see video I actively search for or that are relevant/ related to what im already watching.
Anyways the video was about the Meta x Kyle collaboration and all I could thing was
1. Sure there’s a black mirror episode about this
2. Why does this feel like it was stolen from tobacco industry’s playbook ?
3. I guess tech companies are realizing how much people hate their products and treating to rebrand by using fashion and influencers
The fashion aspect I believe comes in because I found out Zuckerberg and Bezos poured shit ton of money into the met gala this year and not to mention Bezos ( and his new wife, can’t remember her name) and Zuckerbergs rebrands the last few years.
Also the quickest way to get the girlies and gays on your team is always going to be through fashion.
