    To borrow a formulation from @zeynep, we're perfecting the tools of ubiquitous surveillance just to make shopping more convenient.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/21/technology/inside-amazon-go-a-store-of-the-future.html?nytapp=true …

        The four horsemen of the digital apocalypse will be called Convenience, Security, Innovation, and Lulz.

        Replying to @LMSacasas @zeynep

        Already seen an unproblematized "I tried to shoplift from Amazon" article just today. The idea of ubiquitous surveillance is still seen as convenience (not threat) for lots of folks.

        I think it's that same article in my tweet. Under the banner of convenience all manner of mischief will be tolerated and, indeed, embraced.

        Yep, my personal favorite was your tweet about the internet connected toilet.

        Terrible reporting! No questioning the Amazon corporate line (was it cribbed from a press release?), and zero awareness how creepy many find it.

        With respect, thats bollox. Price is determined by what you are willing to pay, not the cost of production. Reducing shop lifting may increase the shop’s margin. It is competition that drives prices down. The trouble with amazon (for us) is that they are developing a monopoly.
