today's a fucking trip and a half

in a mall I saw some Honor laptop[0] ads with "AI" pitch sauce slathered all over it

and now I get this shit in my mailbox from someone who absolutely purchased a dataset with this address in it:

[0] - I didn't even know they were in ZA, but nope, 2-floor hanging banners and ads allllll over elevator doors and shit

I can’t stress enough how important it is to be careful who you trust with your life

strong agree

minor upside: it's going to be a good time to make lists of people who suddenly feel comfortable to mask off

fucking fuck this sucks

Stephanie Kirchgaessner is the deputy head of investigations for Guardian US, based in Washington DC

Hannah Devlin is the Guardian's science correspondent, having previously been science editor of the Times. She has a PhD in biomedical imaging from the University of Oxford.
