Came across Spam Watch 2025 report by Proton team. Key finding that there is no retailers that were good in respecting privacy and low volume of marketing fluff. Surprisingly there were global retailers respecting privacy and not using any trackers in their emails.

There are a lot of talks about abundance in the age of AI. But let's take a deeper look into a subject. Whole theory hinges on the idea that AI will create so much wealth that some form of universal basic income will be introduced in the future. However, if you think such measure would require wealth redistribution and for any non-human entity we call "corporation" profit is a sole purpose of it's existence. Prove me wrong!

Meta and Alibaba launched AI powered glasses back in September, one could think that those would face exactly the same fate as all previous smart glasses, however this time market is bit different, you can do much more with AI powered continuously run camera. As Dutch journalist Alexander Klöpping demonstrated that you can use them for example for real time face recognition on public data for example. That's going to be a nightmare.
