Like, I think it's way more complex than just I share a piece of personal information and it gets used against me.
I think that at a more systemic level, and then it's always, you know, vulnerable populations that are targeted by this.
You know, low-income people being targeted for scamming loans or... I don't know.
Like, I could get targeted.
Like, someone...
not me, because someone who doesn't have kids yet and is my age could get targeted for like freezing their eggs.
And there's all these ways that you can manipulate people where it's not really clear that that came from
that person's data, it came from all of us, all of us opting into this.
But you're assuming that people's preferences and like what makes them happy is static.
Whereas when we were talking before about how a company like Apple can tell people what they want and they will start to want it.
That's the thing that I'm more concerned about.
And that's like, we have a long history of using technology for that purpose, like the persuasive design in casinos to get people to gamble more or like, it's just, I'm, the other thing that I'm worried about is as we have more social technology, suddenly you have this on a new level.
Like if you look at the influencer marketing that happens online now,
So like on Instagram, there will be some like person who has a bunch of followers.
Yeah.
And then a brand will like hire them to promote some product.
And it's above board.
They disclose like this is an ad that I'm promoting, but they have so many young followers who like deeply admire and trust them.
I mean, this must work for you too.
Don't you have like ads on the podcast?
