In 2035, 99% of tweets will be far right AI bots using AI assisted natural selection to automatically create waves of fine-turned misinformation in response to all news events, including AI generated news of events that never happened.
My friend's cousin's hand got too close to the new little Caesar's stuffed crust pretzel stuffing machine and had their entire arm's bone marrow curdled into cheese. The only way to get it out of the machine was to amputate it into 8 slices and they say the cloyingly pallid stench of mozzarella is burnt into the phantom tips of their remaining nerves.
I think if there was a thing, like the character got fast food, whoever gave the highest bid for the quarter (tacobell, pizza hut, etc.) had their logos automatically placed onto the character's food bags/cups, I don't think that would be any more problematic than regular product placement, but I feel like they've got something much worse planned. Pirates would see a snapshot of time though.
I already feel like I live on a different planet, like I go online and you'll see people with 1/10th my income spending 10x my restaurant budget (which is separate than my grocery budget) on fast food delivery. A youtuber I follow regularly has videos where people buy $100 pieces of artisanal waste directly from sleazy tiktokers. I see people throwing away valueable things (like you could sell or donate) all the time. Any money I might or may not have saved over my years of employment was going to be worthless anyways after the next austerity or when climate collapse levels up again, both the purchasing power will be fractioned and the supply chain collapse will eradicate most products. Netflix will shinkflate quality away faster than they increase prices. You'll see tech demos of AI generative capabilities getting better (like if good director/writers/cinematographers was utilizing it) but it'll rarely manifest, instead content that's actually released will get more generic and more sloppier.
I've never paid for a tv show streaming service in my entire life. Even when a friend accidentally leaves their account logged into my device it's only like 1 or 2 services.
I think Hasan deserves more credit than that, I dont know anything about his content from 6+ months ago but these days he has the unique ability to mention that sometimes China good without a 4 hour but-at-what-cost qualifier, infact he openly mocks the trope that most liberals can't mention China at all without also stating the official NATO party line (Uyghur genocide, mao bad, tiny man square, etc.).
I remember somebody sending me one of his yt vids back in the day (who also did not explain why they were sending me the video) and it was really boring and low energy and I didn't watch more than 2 minutes of it.
