After reading Business of Beauty's article about L'Oreal's fragrance contributions to the Dataland project, I was left feeling vaguely creeped out disturbed. So I had to write about it, obviously. Bonus points for anyone who remembers the Soylent Green 1973 reference.

For F sake, why doesn't the official #mastodon #android app display the "bot" info?!?

That's the most likely app for the least tech people, the ones that might be most likely to be disinformed by bots, apparently even if they are marked as such. Just run into one spewing ai bullshit and it turns out "my" app was helping disinformation by hading info visable in the webapp.

Time to move back to fedilab.
