the only question is now, when does Google launch the beta program (in more ways than one HA HA), how many kilodollars will it cost to be a beta tester for it, and how quickly will google abandon the whole thing in favor of building more ball pits on the google campus

This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. Please tell me this is a joke and that I didn't actually wake up in the dystopian idiocracy future.

The real star feature of this device is the ability to easily avoid friends and family.

We're just about there dude. Remember all those old sci fi books and movies and stuff where it was always the government or some corporation telling you to eat other people or consume stuff, or some AI telling you to kill your family or something? It's not going to be like that, it's going to be some AI telling you that it's time to shower, and the government/corporation telling you to put on a shirt and go out into the sunshine for a bit, and cutting off your internet until you do so.

It won't be about you thinking bad things about the establishment, or secretly reading passages from the Qur'an over Tor or something. Who cares about that? They'll monitor your every activity and provide hints targeted specially to you on how you can improve your life and health. If you want you can be cynical about it and say that yeah it's about making sure consumers can continue to consume for as long as possible, sure, think that if you want. But the important part is the AI will still have a really creepy insidious voice, and that's what matters.

deodorant doesn't cost hundreds of dollars or come in a variety of hip colors so it's not as good
