cyberpunk advertising? dae think we'll get the giant holographic koi carp in town square? :so-true:
the cyberpunk advertising:
The lady who ran the project came on twitter to brag and she is getting absolutely dogpiled.
I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too: “Oh, you know what Bill’s doing? He’s going for that anti-marketing dollar. That’s a good market. He’s very smart.”
Oh man, I am not doing that, you fucking, evil scumbags!
“Ooh, you know what Bill’s doing now? He’s going for the righteous indignation dollar. That’s a big dollar. A lot of people are feeling that indignation. We’ve done research – huge market. He’s doing a good thing.”
Godammit, I’m not doing that, you scum-bags! Quit putting a goddamn dollar sign on every fucking thing on this planet.
“Ooh, the anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market. Bill’s very bright to do that.”
God, I’m just caught in a fucking web.
“Ooh, the trapped dollar, big dollar, huge dollar. Good market – look at our research. We see that many people feel trapped. If we play to that and then separate them into the trapped dollar…”
How do you live like that? And I bet you sleep like fucking babies at night, don’t you?
Godlike bit.
Advertisers and marketers are some of the worst scum on the planet. All kinds of other crimes can be justified by circumstances, but there's no excuse for commercial advertising.
They are vile. It’s the only job that I can think of that is designed to study the human condition to only learn better ways to exploit it. Across cultures, backgrounds, genders, and history, they study people. They use just about every field of learning to sell shit people don’t need, or worse yet incept the idea they need to buy it. pretty much every facet of a person or group of people to learn best how to separate them from their coin. It’s only worse with the “Big Data™️” and “AI assistance”, it really puts these parasites on overdrive. A truly vile, rotten, toxic profession.
Nothing made me less enthusiastic about studying anthropology than learning that one of the most common employment opportunity for an anthropology undergraduate degree was advertising. I'd rather work 100 years at an nonunion coffeeshop than spend a single second of my life on advertising
Advertising and military intelligence. When I was in college the first time the war in Afghanistan was still brand new and a bunch of fascist traitors were selling their anthropology skills to the US Military as part of their "Human Terrain Teams", which meant teaching soldiers how to be respectful of Afghan cultural expectations and norms so they could better wring intel and cooperation out of them. It caused a huge ethics debate and I'm not sure it was ever really resolved.
Watching the new Yugopnik video and trying not to think about what he does for a living
oh wow thats the same lady who was getting dogpiled for tweeting about her unionbusting efforts the other week
shes really on a roll
Absolute human garbage. If I get banned for threats or something I regret nothing.
Joshua Meservey
That's not a real name, surely
Joshua studies African geopolitics, counterterrorism, and refugee policy at The Heritage Foundation.
:visible-disgust: 🤮🤮🤮🤮
How soon before some billionaire bazinga ironically names some venture capital investment "the Torment Nexus" to be quirky? :agony-minion:
Thiel's intelligence company is named Palantir. You know, the evil crystal balls that Sauron used to spy on people and mind-rape Pippin.
They would probably call themselves "TTN Capital" and part of their founding "myth" would be like
"Chester, Conner, Chaaya told me we couldn't call it "Torment Nexus Investments" but I was feeling pretty zany that day. So when we sold our own souls, and the livelyhood and future of an entire county in West Virgina to some unknowable horror from beyond the seventh veil at the Delware office of Coporations... you know I had to 'do it to 'em' :DaBiden:. Haha, it's just part of brand of just doing what other people are afraid to do, which is why started investing directly into the "Nightmare Thresher" project as soon as they pitched it to us..."
The Yankee ones aren't just tasteless, they're also so shit in comparison haha
I'd love to see the Chinese ones
Yeah, there were no moving 3D images, just static 2D internet ads
Chinese drone show: 3d walking deer, incredible display of technical achievements, actually amazing to watch
Amerikkka: billboard in the sky for a shitty mobile game
These things are so terrifying. Have y'all seen the mslaughterbots mock documentary? We're already seeing it start in Ukraine.

Cyberpunk aesthetic is just Las Vegas of the last 50 years change my mind.
You're telling me that for the price of a drone, a drone disabling device and a couple hours in the garage with a power drill, I can be a Drone Poacher?
I know some bazingas, right now, that know about this and call it "based" and want more of it. Because it looks like their nonpolitical le cyberpunkerino gem is coming true.
:soypoint-1: :no-mouth-must-scream: :soypoint-2:
Off-topic, but I LOVE that we have our own slang in Bazingas.
But holy shit, after the revolution, we should definitely add a shit-ton of emphasis on media literacy to English classes.
They would add have added a mouth to the "great soft jelly" thing that you can personalize its unceasing agony and torment
aww shit this gave me a good idea

Speaking of the Unabomber, i don't know why people use his motives as a anticapitalist stance. He was basically an an-prim terrorist
That's exactly what they were for as well as monitoring how drugs were affecting everyone in that scene, that's my take
How difficult would it be to destroy covertly? I've got a drone, and it's quite a feeble being. Obviously these things would be a lot bigger than my little camera drone, but it really can't take a whole lot, surely? My drones rotors sometimes get stuck when I land it in grass that's over a few inches long. Surely that means a sturdy piece of string could tangle up those advertiser drones.
How surveilled are they? How does one even surveill something so high in the sky in pitch blackness? How hard would they investigate the destruction? It would be a very fucking expensive thing, if even one drone was destroyed. One drone would probably fly into the rest though and then you got mega damage bucks on your hands...
What is the best method of destroying them, do you think? Send up your own drone and drop a bunch of netting over a section? Perhaps having your own drone would be too traceable. Maybe it wouldn't if it was a home built one though. No trackers that feed info back to a company like MAVIC, for example.
These are remote controlled right? Might be able to do something to disrupt that and at least make it land via autopilot(but just hopefully fall into the river).
My aunt in Queens couldn't tell. They were basically only visible in Lower Manhattan.
