Most people here are missing the forest for the trees.
We live in a society where phones and internet providers and websites all collect an incredible amount of data about everywhere you go, what you do, and what you think. In the US, we have very few digital rights.
We are building a society where a trillion dollar company can aggregate all this data and just yoink your shiny new idea away from you at the finish line.
This is double plus ungood.
This reminded me of anecdotes of people discussing with friends about buying a random specific item, and then suddenly seeing it advertised everywhere before even googling about it.
Next step, discussing your Navier Stokes solutions with friends might require leaving your phone in another room.
