VISA: "We wont let adults engage in consensual adult activities via our payment network becuase some religious nutjob somewhere might complain about it, but we're gonna hand over our network to AI so it can spend all your and our money because we're customer first"
also just a reminder there was a big password breach with instagram/meta/whatever because people asked an AI agent to give them the passwords for famous peoples accounts.
I cant wait for something similar happening on VISA, someone prompt bombing to get the AI to charge a random account and people melting down as 10s of thousands of dollars of charges appear out of no where.
all hope died the second AI become available and people started using that to create their own, personal, comfortable micro-realities, free of pesky facts and truth.
kinda hard to do when google holds the internet by the balls. and can twist at any moment to get what they want.
Microsoft and Mozilla employees have both accused them of doing this in the past, to sabotage non-chrome browsers on google services, to make chrome look better and drive users to chrome.
Websites that are actively malicious against firefox, that miraculously work when you have a useragent plugin that makes firefox report that its chrome proving that the site works fine, if the asshole code is removed?
Sony was so close to me diving head first into their PC gaming ecosystem, cause there were a lot of games i really wanted to get into, when they pulled the "HAHA SURPRISE, ALL THOSE GAMES YOU'VE ALREADY BOUGHT AND PLAYED? NOW YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PLAYSTATION ACCOUNT FOR THEM BECAUSE WE SAID SO!" and basically guaranteed I'll never own another playstation product for the rest of my life.
I absolutely hate when networking equipment forces you to use an app to set it up, and the app doesn’t do anything that a website couldn’t do.
but the website wouldnt demand 87 permissions and have the ability to silently upload all your contacts and god knows what else to a secret server for advertisement and identification/tracking purposes.
Which is why every company uses apps.. even if those apps are just a website wrapped in a app container. because you are the product. not the device you are using.
