Welcome to the future of shopping, where you pay for your products with not just money, but your behavioral data. Kroger is pushing new tech to try and beat Amazon out in the grocery field, tech that will start to implement population conditioning and mind control. Sound ludicrous? Let's go over the facts.
https://www.businessinsider.com/kroger-microsoft-store-tech-2019-1
>Digital shelves. This system — which originally debuted in the fall and is currently present at the ends of aisles in 92 Kroger stores — eschews paper price tags in favor of digital displays, enabling shelves to dynamically update prices and display other information like ads, promotions, and nutritional details. Additionally, if a customer uses Kroger's self-checkout app, the shelves can recognize when they enter an aisle and display a personalized icon to guide them to products on their shopping list.
Now, with the touch of a button, you can be guided to the item you so desire. But, what if you don't even know what you want? Don't worry, the system has you covered.
>A network of in-store sensors. These include ceiling-mounted sensors that collect data on shoppers' habits
>Additionally, Microsoft's artificial intelligence (AI) can estimate data about customers, such as age and gender, enabling Kroger to serve targeted ads to shoppers on digital shelves' displays while they're in the store. These ads could serve as a new source of supplemental revenue for the grocer.
With the power of AI and spying on you 24/7, we know you better than you know yourself. Having trouble shopping? We will guide you to what you really want. The isle will light up for you, playing targeted ads, convincing you of what you need. And with dynamic price shifting, think of all the things we can do in the future! We can add diversity taxes for the culturally impaired people, discounts for (((members))), and fix the gender bias in product pricing! And it's all just the beginning. What if we take it a step further, and built what you want before you even knew you desired it? What if we guided what you wanted? What if we guided what you think? What if we guided humanity to a better future?
https://youtu.be/QDVVo14A_fo
But it's ok. You are fine with this outcome. If you weren't, why would you have agreed to go along with it? This is for your own good. Now download the app, click agree, and join us in the future! Your first suggestion is waiting for you to accept. Don't be left behind.
In all seriousness, this will have huge ramifications. They are talking about having the technology automatically add items you take from the shelf to a digital cart and you pay as you leave, removing checkouts, and the jobs they come with. The data collected will be sold to other companies as they continue to try and predict people. The masses will simply let the device tell them what to buy. The device is with us at all times anyway and it saves that precious time by a couple of seconds. The only way you could improve it is if the device was installed into your hand or something. But that will never happen... right?
What do you think? Have I gone mad at a simple tech upgrade?

A little late to the party, aren't we?

Data collection and targeted marketing has happened online for a very long time now, why is it surprising that it would branch out to brick and mortar? If anything, the enhanced targeting is just an evolution of what loyalty programs have been doing for decades already. In fact, I expect point programs to be a big selling point to encourage adoption of this system.
>eschews paper price tags in favor of digital displays
And you've officially lost the environmentalist crowd.
>In all seriousness, this will have huge ramifications.
Not really. It's just an evolution of the shopping experience that comes natural with technological growth. I'm sure people complained to the heavens when digital POS systems overtook traditional registers, too.
>removing checkouts, and the jobs they come with.
Never going to happen in today's job obsessed political climate. Come back in two decades.
>The data collected will be sold to other companies as they continue to try and predict people.
Which already happens, and which countermeasures exist against, just as there will be with this.
>The masses will simply let the device tell them what to buy.
Wouldn't be much of a targeted advertising system if it couldn't.
>The only way you could improve it is if the device was installed into your hand or something. But that will never happen… right?
If you build it, they will come.
Personally, I can't wait for the implant jailbreaks and open source firmwares that will come about after their release.
>Have I gone mad at a simple tech upgrade?
No more than your parents did when their time's tech upgrades came about.

Thats already happening its been happening since 1945. it ramped up in the 1960's specifically the numerous (((Revolutions))) and civil rights act and the 1967 immigration law.as time passed on from that point shit just kept getting worse and worse, and thus here we are in the jew world order in the current year.

Eh, I can dig it. At least we got alt-tech and medi-sci discussion going again, eh?
But why do some posts say 2 years? mlpol was a year and 9 months ago, and the site does a method of dating like Youtubes, meaning those posts predated mlpol proper...right?

Well mlpol started with just /mlpol/
Then came /sp/ and you know what came with football? the denver broncos.
So the only posts capable of being almost 2 years old are those from /mlpol/ you can guess some posts from /mlpol/ were moved to /cyb/ that's why they are so old.
Mlpol.net was not created april 1, but i don't remember if it was april 2 or 3
So yeah, mlpol.net is not 2 y/o yet, it's probably just an error from the server not being able to into timedates.

What on Earth is cyberpunk? I really have no fucking clue.

high tech, low life.
Cyberpunk was briefly a "movement" in literary science fiction, back in the last century when everything was printed on dead trees. It started around 1980 and lasted around six years and involved a handful of authors:
Bruce Sterling
William Gibson
Rudy Rucker
Pat Cadigan
John Shirley
Just about all of these people were Canadian acid-casualties, hippies who hated America, Americans, capitalism, and President Reagan, and who were terrified that he was going to blow up the world, or get us all enslaved by Them Evil Japs, or Them Evil Wall Street Sheenies, or all three simultaneously. It came through in everything they wrote.
Most of the early c-punk stuff was short stories written by Gibson and Rucker that got printed as filler in between poorly written, sensationalized Sunday-supplement level "SCIENCE!" articles in a shiny-paper deadtree magazine called "OMNI" in the early 1980s. Stuff like "Burning Chrome" and "Tales of Houdini."
All of it was experimental. All of it was either blackly humorless grimderp verging on self-parody or absolutely bleak in tone, uniformly in nightmarishly dystopian settings where the world was owned by ruthless Japanese corporations, and most the settings included nuclear war and/or global ecological collapse as part of the backstory. Just about all of them were about mohawk-wearing Rebels Against the System who usually had big clunky cybernetic prosthetic arms, who normally had mirrorshades, scuffed black leather jackets, or both, either dying pointlessly or running for their lives through the neon-lit gutters from Space Yakuza Ninja assassins. The countryside doesn't exist. No one ever sees a tree or a flower or stands with his boots touching earth instead of concrete, nor ever did.
As a "movement," it was over not long after Ronald Reagan was elected for his second term, and the original material really hasn't aged well. This despite the term continuing as a genre description down to the present day, which carries a connotation of a retro-futuristic mashup punk rawk/film noir setting full of of l33t h4x0r types with Ethernet jacks surgically wired into their brains, in the centers of their foreheads, and their buddies, hulking strong silent type gengineered cyborg'd-out killing machines with robot hands that have knives that pop out of them, that they were in Special Forces with in The War.
Sterling wrote, as this genre was shaping up to turn into something of an embarrassment for him in the early 90s, that c-punk wasn't about the cranial jacks or the mirrorshades, it was about what it would be like to live in a collapsing dystopian future in which baby-eating hypercapitalism had eaten the world alive, science was pursued solely for profit and all caution or human decency abandoned, and Frankenstein's Monster was not only loose but looking back at us from the mirror, and the Bomb, THE BOOOOOOOOOOOOMB, is hanging over all our heads like some kind of horrible robotified sword-o-Damocles, I tell you what.
Now it is remembered mainly as the progenitor of "steampunk," which is this extremely silly attempt to marry the film-noir-1970s-punx-wif-mohawks feeling with really implausible Jules-Verne-ish adventure stories involving clockwork robo-golems with big brass gears sticking out of their heads, and everyone wears a corset, including the guys. I suspect the future will find it even sillier than c-punk.

>Marbled crayfish are the only known decapod crustaceans to reproduce only by parthenogenesis.[5] All individuals are female, and the offspring are genetically identical to the parent.[4][8] Marbled crayfish are triploid animals,[4][9] which may be the main reason for their parthenogenetic reproduction. Marbled crayfish are thus a model for the rapid generation of species.[4]
>Because marbled crayfish are genetically identical, easy to care for,[10] and reproduce at high rates, they are a potential model organism, particularly for studying development.[11] A major drawback, however, is the long generation time (several months) compared to other research organisms.[12]
Since they are genetically identical wouldn't it be easier to create a population of genetically modified crayfish? Say you inserted a gene to produce a protein in one of them. Then all of it's off spring would produce that protein as well. In time you could have enough crayfish to produce your protein in commercial quantities.

Does the PS4 have any games? I got one for free from a dumb friend that got the new PS4 Pro, "A console so nice we sold it to you four times!".
If anyone here knows how to pirate PS4 games and play them on-console, that'd be cool, too.

I actually obtained one through a similar means, a former roommate was moving and he offered to sell me his for like a hundred bucks and change, plus it came with a stack of games. Unfortunately he had kind of shitty taste in games, so the only one I have that's really worth playing is Batman: Arkham Knight. That one I recommend, though.

I fear that the end of the internet is neigh and that us thought-criminals may soon find ourselves without a home. We need an alternative, but what else is there? Danknet? Meshnets? Packet Radios? Is there anything we can use?
