MarkG<p>A friend of mine texted me about the Shein app (Shein being a clothing store). He suspects there's AI in the app that uses the phone's camera to detect who's checking it out. So, when his 11 year old daughter uses it, it sends her pictures of pricey stuff (IE, $33 T-shirts). When he uses it, it sends pictures of cute but cheap things.</p><p>Targeted advertising.</p><p>Now, I have neither the app nor even Google Play Store on my phone. I use LineageOS &amp; F-Droid apps.

The New York Times · WhatsApp Introduces Ads in Its AppBy Eli Tan

"I feel empty," said Lavender, looking mournful.

"Um... maybe you need food?" suggested Craig.

"No, food is for creatures; I'm a living space. I feel empty because my residents have been gone so long."

Just then glowing circles appeared on her exposed skin. Craig felt a breeze pick up as tiny glinting things appeared out of nowhere. Each one #targeted a different circle on Lavender's arms & face, landed, & was absorbed. Lavender sighed contentedly. "That's better."

@sarahjamielewis i would like to see you get more additive in nature like decentralized distributed p2p compute portals, projects like securedrop and books like the hacks series - a lot of collected ip, i'd like to see you boot like 3 or 4 different os at once and paste between screens - you need to find a good sales and mkt person and get some rev streams started #content #targeted ads #backlinks
