"The secret ingredient is crime". ~Super Hans

Personally I'd say every single product and service being transparently wrapped in a personal information honeypot

In case someone needs help:

Uber/Lyft

Airbnb

Bitcoin/Crypotocurrency

ChatGPT/LLMs

I like those note-taking apps that require my location for a better user experience

Forgot "Glorified Pump-&-Dump scheme" (NFT's)

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.

The Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus.

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

Need to add illegal gambling to the list

To be fair, all money is fake and used by criminals

Where's "video games that you never actually own, but at least you pay to beat them"?

Where's "removal of a common phone feature, because if you don't buy a $528 external DAC and a $9164 planar headphones, you'll be okay with a pair of raycons"?

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.

What would we do without capitalist innovation? Before capitalism, nothing was invented. Look at us now!

"Exploiting immigrants to deliver food"

I like this meme every time I see it here on anarchist forums.
