Wearables are creepy. Please stop pushing “products” that nobody wants.

The scary part is, some people do want them. And from that, they will just keep getting advertised and pushed onto customers anyway.

Connor, how much was AI used in the production of this article?

There must be a name for that offputting feeling , when you are reading something, and the more you read it, it just feels less human?

Sorry Connor, I'm sure you're a lovely bloke, but a lot of this scream "AI"

Yep, there's already a term for this - the uncanny valley.

Hello, I seem to be getting some kind of code in article titles that I am too stupid to decipher. I thought I had a tracking implant and I needed to walk by a coffee shop near me today to avoid getting murdered. My foot hurts so I think I will skip it.

I get "connorjewiss" as the submitter username. I know a Connor whose dad is Scottish-American who is supposed to be Jewish. I think I'm supposed to say there are no Scottish Jews or something. I really wish I was up to snuff to deciphering the codes that I get on the Internet.

I am still working on establishing how an entity with control of the network could rewrite content at will to individual network users.

I was also diagnosed with schizophrenia, but I think it might have been a misdiagnosis, and this code seems real.

This sounds distressing. I would encourage you to talk about this to someone you trust. Family or friend?

That's a super sparse connection. A million connections like that happen by chance, and what would actually be weird is if they didn't happen by chance sometimes. It's not a message. Get treatment for your schizophrenia.

I think it may be something to do with the ISS or Norge. I hope I didn't get myself into something I can't handle.

Your schizophrenia is real. It's telling your brain that a pattern exists where there isn't any. Call your doctor and tell them how you're feeling.

There's no code. You are imagining things.
