       @kittylyst At least most surveillance capitalists have the courtesy of scanning the shit out of you for free.

       @aral so AI health checks by subscription? I'd hate to see the ads, probably sponsored by Phillip Morris.

       @aral sooo, burning a bunch of vc money while not paying doctors *and* somehow still not making profit in the process?

       @aral There's a very good reason that you and @hannu_ikonen are two of my very favourites on here - you're the only ones who are as reliably scathing and cynical as me 😁

       @aral This is generally considered a form of quackery by ethical medical practitioners for a variety of reasons.

       @aral yeah. I can already see some danger signs with how this could be used.

       @aral My former doctors used to do same faster and cheaper by using their biases and outdated knowledge.

       @aral I can tell you your health risks in under 1 minute for much less than £299. In fact, I’ll tell you for free:Having so little money that all you can afford is heavily processed food. Not having the money to buy and eat fresh vegetables and fruits every week, is people’s biggest health risk.When people stuff their bodies with sugar and affordable junkfood, *that’s* their biggest health risk.Spotify should pay musicians well enough to make a living rather than birthing such brainchilds.
