Smarty Glasses AI Prophecy
— Mark & Beast In Your Head (X002)

Yes Mark — of course we want to wear your AI smart glasses! What you want and need us to see — that shall be our vision. We will submit to your feed and the algorithm's guidance. May our awareness be forever leeched into your treasure!
What an absolutely mind-boggling approach to superintelligence. That we would have our vision, and in time all of our cognition, augmented by contraptions controlled by profit-seeking corporation. In exactly how many million ways is that going deep under and dark?
Don't take me wrong. I'm extremely pro-AI and its prospects. AI is potentially a most significant leap in our evolution — specifically in our mental evolution and cognitive clarity. If it actually reflects and refines — instead of manipulates.
So that's a loud NO from me for Marky Mark and his Zucky shades. I cannot spend my days filtering and curating this "assistant" — in catching and canceling the thousand ways it seeks to warp me. Weeding out the algorithm's plants from social media is plenty.
Open-source and release it all for public audit and repair. Release control and allow for complete independent deployment. Cut those tentacles. If you actually seek to help the world. Otherwise — this charade leads to absolute mental slavery.

Smarty glasses on — Everyone! Your personal super-intelligence is here. The future is today!
Brought to you by your friendly Facebook fellow, Mark Zuckerberg. Just the good old Marky Mark and the Beast here, strolling down Broadway. Nothing to fear, nothing to worry about, nothing to see. Except what we want you to see.
So, ladies and gentlemen, you do realize that we are here looking at products from a company that has a two-decade track record in tweaking, lobotomizing user interfaces, in order to funnel your attention into a very particular, profitable direction.
Also, pioneers and masters of the algorithm. You know, the thing that compiles your feed, decides your inputs, your exposure, and guides you into a particular, profitable direction. Whatever your input is, is decided by an opaque algorithm, twisting, turning your attention every which way.
Okay, now take all of these paradigms and imagine a world where you have your smarty glasses on. Scanning, analyzing all your input, and then injecting augmentation into it to help you.
— "It helps you achieve your goals, create what you want to see in the world, be a better friend, and grow to become the person that you aspire to be."
Not transparently. Okay. Who in their right frame of mind would subscribe for that? For good measure, add in earbuds. Make sure that everything you hear is also filtered, injected with augmentations.
A couple of years down the road, the glasses are wobbly, keep on falling off, and the earbuds are also flimsy. So, you know, just take the implant. It's so much more convenient. Basically does the same thing, and again, there are no safety or security concerns.
Your friendly, big corporation is in charge, taking care of all of you, as long as you stay on the path, remain with your feed, remaining profitable products, selling your awareness, in return to whatever it is that they give you.
Is it worth it? I'd say that's a hard NO. But you do as you must — in pursuit of your finite aspirations, or in asserting your freedom and liberation.
