I'm old enough to remember when the sci-fi notion of a disembodied computer voice waking you up in the morning, knowing enough about you to strike up a conversation, and accompanying you through your daily routine sounded wonderful.

Now it gives me chills. That old wonderful dream is actually possible now if I turned off all my malware blockers and let :lord-bezos-amused: fully into my home.

    Yeah, I loved the idea of comic movies but then the movies reminded me of all the bullshit I filtered out back in the day. It's hard to tease the real good story out of the propaganda so I guess I just had rosy glasses. Like people wanting the 50's but don't know about the fascism and polio.
