Friends, we have a problem. hear me out:
Imagine the following:
>I am visiting a friend, and we discuss tax credit cards
>suddenly, ads for credit cards start appearing on my phone and laptop
Simple enough, right? Your tech is listening to you. We already know this.
HOWEVER...
>I think about Mr. House
>Anon posts an image of Mr. House
>I remember a Billy Joel song I used to listen to
>an hour later I hear that song on the radio
>I think about shampoo and my dry hair
>I see an ad for shampoo the same morning in a subway station
This sounds like some straight up schizo shit, but none of these other coincidences can be explained in a practical or reasonable way, and I've been keeping track of all of these incidents since around 2016. The problem is they're getting more frequent.
I'd like to know if anyone else here has experienced this, and if so, let's spitball ideas about how this sort of thing might work. Is it some kind of advanced Minority Report type of shit? Are we living in a simulation? Are we approaching an A.I. singularity like Roko's Basilisk? It's time to put on your thinking caps. I will cross-post in /x/ and /sci/ since this isn't strictly political, although it does have political implications--especially if the coincidences are some kind of offshoot from Google adsense.
