Silicon Valley will build an AI system to solve cancer and use it just to show you more ads under your eyelids.

Why take the effort to dream when you can see the latest deals all night long for just 1.99$ a month! (unsubscription requires a small one time payment of 500$. original eyelids can be bought back separately)

In case it wasn't clear, the title is referring to the show of the same name, not the region/tech culture.

Since you don't quite understand: the show is an accurate parody of the real phenomenon.

I'm quite aware. But the show literal has a story arc about a program made to distinguish photos of food that ends up used for...something else, let's say.
