A moody room with Shining-esque broadloom. In fhe foreground stands a giant figure the with the head of Mark Zuckerberg's metaverse avatar; its eyes have been replaced with the glaring red eyes of HAL 9000 from Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey' and has the logo for Meta AI on its lapel; it peers though a magnifying glass at a tiny figure standing on its vast palm. The tiny figure has a leg caught in a leg-hold trap and wears an expression of eye-rolling horror. In the background, gathered around a sofa and an armchair, is a ranked line of grinning businessmen, who are blue and flickering in the manner of a hologram display in Star Wars.

Your article mentions Venmo's "public by default" transactions . . .

. . . which reminds me of this entertaining and informative website, which follows the tales, pieced together by their public feed of transactions, of the following folks:

The Venmo God
The Cannabis Retailer
The Corn Dealer
The Lovers
The YOLOist
The All Americans

it was intriguing to think about the leaking of typed notes from therapy sessions discussed in Joe Tidy's book (and in an interview on Darknet Diaries darknetdiaries.com/episode/159…) alongside your discussion of surveillance-crazed therapy chatbots.
Ajournal that responds to your thoughts with bland, probing prompts would doubtless help many people with their own private reflections. The keyword here, though, is private. Zuckerberg's insatiable, all-annihilating drive to expose our private activities as an attention-harvesting spectacle is poisoning the well, and he's far from alone. The entire Al chatbot sector is so surveillance-crazed that anyone who uses an Al chatbot as a therapist needs their head examined Pluralistic: Your Meta Al prompts are in a live, public feed...

Vastaamo – Darknet Diaries

Joe Tidy investigates what may be the cruelest and most disturbing cyber attack in history. A breach so invasive it blurred the line between digital crime and psychological torture. This story might make your skin crawl.
