In days past, is was "Musak" long before AI. In the early 20th century French composer Erik Satie was writing something called "furniture music". All this stuff was instrumental background music. I hated being forced to listen to this when getting on elevators.

The world is being filled wth AI slop and it's also on Spotify. I quite agree that the algorithm is feeding most people the lowest common denominator lifeless crap with the intention of being background music and that seems to be how most people use Spotify. AI is now generating quite a bit of it and it all sounds very much the same to me. I am happy to NOT be in this category of listeners and not be a Spotify listener. The rest of you continue to enjoy.

Of course it's not true. Anyone who has has knowledge of China knows they life about everything and alter their statistics for political benefit. So don't believe thier BS. It's phony.

Yah, that's what we want! Everyone in the theaters watching videos on the phones! Congrat's META on another craptacular idea.

This encapsulates the AI issues involved--in every device including your toothbrush. I just say NO to all them, including all these iOT devices. I keep a very tight reign on what devices in my home connect to the internet and it's just to my router & computer--nothing else. It's time to OPT-OUT of this spy-tech.

I see it all as more internet spyware. Don't need it. Don't want it. Had enough trouble getting AI off my phone.

Dude, we're already there. And it's getting worse. So I switched to a de-Googled phone. It seems to work, along with the usual privacy setups.

Yup I'm getting rid of my Kindle,. Amazon is joining the crowd of "you don't own what you bought". so the search for an alternate eReader continues--just not from Amazon.

Nah, we don't need it any more! Goodbye!

We will NOT be using it. No opt-out==NO SALE.

Besides closing peoples accounts due to political beliefs, selling customer info is certainly the last straw. Been off Paypal for several years now.

Hopefully, gone fishing. Never to return.

Much to the frustration of MSM and certain gov't agencies the truth about mRNA technology is starting to leak out. Big. Pharma may be in big troubl *Real Soon Now*.

Good luck charging your EV's have a hurricane. You run out of battery, the only open is towing. Oh! Charging stations need some love, too...electricity. The EV owners in the Ashville. area are sorely hurting right now. At least gas gars have a decent range, and yes those gas stations need power to pump gas, too. Should should see the major fiasco hurricanes cause in China.

They'll pay more!
