A friend just asked me to review the value proposition of a startup claiming to use blockchain, cryptocurrency, and AI to guarantee longevity, and eventually immortality. I’ll spare you the convoluted tagline.

A 100% scam. I can’t believe how deceptive certain companies are.

Of course. They should be fashion objects with app notification feature only and a variety of materials and patterns, period. Not poor man versions of smartwatches > ‘Basic wristbands’ market falls as smartwatches take over, the Apple Watch leading https://t.co/kKSU3XQUJr

Still cumbersome compared to a smart mirror, but very cheap. If accurate, this is a first step that I could see Amazon taking to disrupt the fashion industry > Japanese Company Cracks Problem of How to Order Perfectly Fitting Clothes Online https://t.co/y3LnphnLwK https://t.co/BSvDWfE1wG

So Slack is an IRC chat and Twitter is a forum. The difference is that now everything users do is tracked, profiled and monetized. Dopamine addiction turned out extremely expensive. > Twitter is testing threaded replies and status indicators https://t.co/foxtX1ANWV

Yours truly quoted about complexity in #cybersecurity, how unsustainable the situation is, and the need for programmability: https://t.co/ZqMEYxmSjX

Which is hilarious considering that they have been “hacked” for a long time already. You don’t even control the chronology of your social media feeds… > Brits are fearing the #AI future as 60% are worried AI machines will hack them https://t.co/ilnHKLozGy

See? It doesn’t matter how technically advanced you are from an engineering standpoint if your solution is accessed by a clumsy, complicated, incoherent UI. I’m reviewing some #AI services from major cloud service providers and I am horrified.

You are crazy if you believe that *your* content belongs to *you* just because *you* created it. It would be as if music remains property of the musicians that created it. Don’t be ridiculous. > Facebook has removed all cross-posted tweets https://t.co/6Va3UnJddN
