I guess not enough real stuff in the world to be mad at so you've gotta boost some ragebait tiktok about patent filings.

How many years ago was the 'stand up and say mcdonalds to continue viewing' patent that people freaked out over? Anyone know if that's how reality works yet? Or is a patent just a patent and there's no shortage of actual things that actually exist that you could be mad at.

Vehicle cameras are literally spying on their owners. This isn't a hypothetical or just a patent application.

I'm realizing I tuned out of the tiktok too early. It led with the more salacious and less realistic patent to complain about so I figured the rest was also bullshit.
