I personally hate the "thanks to AI you now can speak to your dead relatives" ones. Especially those ones which try to spin it like a personal story for the developer of the app. Oh shut up, you would sell your own mother for money. And also you are too late to jump on that bandwagon so get lost, we have enough of you leeches.

How about
- reinventing trains but worse
- rocketing amount of space launches filling up junk
- we deliver everything but once we take over it'll all be crap rip off products (for slave wages)
- we deliver any food by people who can't drive (for slave wages)
- we'll create algorithms to enforce society divisions and hurt mental health of children
- we'll take over a popular platform and make it even more disgusting and fascist
What would we do without capitalist innovation? Before capitalism, nothing was invented. Look at us now!

It so happens that stuff useful for criminals is sometimes also useful for political dissidents or simply people who consider the country's laws too oppressive. Encrypted communication is another example of this.

"We're living in the future. I'll tell you how I know. I read it in the paper. Fifteen years ago."
It’s funny how a lot of “innovations” are really just old ideas wrapped in new technology.
Real Time Raytracing.
Self Driving Vehicles
Free Speech Absolutism Platforms
Needs a "penis rocket" option.
Night sky destroyer
Having watched enough Kitboga I think we're underestimating the impact of the sheer joy and catharsis fake money for criminals ends up causing
This is funny but isn't all money "fake"?
