    Silicon Valley isn't even hiding the fact they are listening to you from your mobile device. Wife and I had talked about buying a fridge near our devices. And here I am on Spotify getting bestbuy refrigerator ads.

    Fucking dystopia.

    I wonder what would be the benign use for this data, if we lived in a socialist or communist society, research? Planned Economy?

      There is no use for this. Setting aside the moral implications of near inescapable surveillance; it's a massive waste of processing cycles, storage space, and electricity. A planned economy could get the same information with a small scantron questionnaire.

        Could you imagine if instead of advertisements snuck in everywhere you just get a booklet of "ads" on your doorstep once a month based on your questionnaire? Or an email edition idk, but you could just page through and see suggestions of things that would actually be useful to you instead of a few useful tidbits buried in manipulative language and 90% things that are useless to you.

      Isn't this what the PRC is already doing?
