Dear Whole Foods aka Amazon. You know my entire grocery shopping history, you know how much tofu I buy, so why on earth would you think it's appropriate to send me ads for ground beef? #vegetarian #ads

  @aaronpk it’s their way of trying to throw you off the scent …
  
  “of course we don’t track you … if we did why would we send beef ads to someone that buys so much Tofu!”

  @aaronpk Did you say something derogatory about that space trip? Seems spiteful.

  Really undercuts the “promises” of aggressive data collection and ad surveillance. Dumb ads would be just as good.

  Wait what!? Targeted ads are not relevant? Never thought that could happen. Wasn't there an Ai for this or a blockchain that fixed it with nfts?

  @aaronpk I show students what Twitter thinks about me when I teach about surveillance capitalism and the secret is that even with all that data, they are really bad at their predictions.
