They deserve it though

Yeah but you need to eat at some point you can't just pass everything

That's the issue. Everyone thinks their data is irrelevant, but if that were the case big companies wouldn't by buying those data in bulk for billions.

What you like, what you think, what opinions you have, even what game you play or what movie you enjoy can be used against you to manipulate you. Be it to steer you towards one election candidate, or to sell you shit. It will at some point be used against you without your knowledge. And the worst part is that it all feels insignificant, but it's definitely not.

Privacy is important, even if your data is cringe.

I will argue this already exists online. Especially in the travel industry.

If you are browsing for plane or train tickets you should always do it in private mode because those cookies are going to drive the price up next time you connect.

The next store over knows how much the previous store was charging you so they're gonna practice the same price with a marginal placebo discount. In the end you've lost a significant amount of time swapping stores for a very negligible gain, and you've been robbed either way.

That makes no sense YET

If you want disturbing know that you can ask ChatGPT to create you a text-based role playing game, so basically you can ask ChatGPT to cosplay as your sex-slave.

> Same with the monthly battery revolutionizing technology discovered that goes nowhere.

Then again this is always a very slow process. Any kind of battery breakthrough (assuming it's not bogus to make headlines) takes at least a decade to find its way to the consumer market.

So of course you're gonna hear about this revolutionary new thing on paper, then never hear about it ever again, and by the time it's available on the market -probably quietly- then the rest of the industry has also made many other improvements to the point that it's not the huge leap that was promised but more of a "hey the battery on this phone charges faster than on my older one... I think"

If you generate enough power and your batteries are big enough, efficiency barely matters. A simple, easy and non polluting way to store energy would be a lot more useful than a very efficient one that relies on rare-earth metals, that is extremely expensive to scale up and that wears down over time.
