So I have an iPhone with Apple Music. Just the other day I was looking at suggested music and I found a “favorites” playlist that was somehow generated for me.
These songs in the playlist were amazingly accurate. Scarily accurate. And I realized there’s no simple explanation for how Apple know I treasured these songs so deeply.
One example that is haunting me still: it’s the song that was playing when I lost my virginity to my high school crush. I made point to never listen to it again because it brought back such painful memories
And that fucking song was in the favorites list even though I literally never played it in my phone or google searched it!!!!!
That is the most extreme example but nearly every song on the playlist had a certain sentimental value for me, be it a song that was playing when I was tripping while camping with friends or when I was crying when I broke up with a GF.
I’m 100% serious, I heard of this conspiracy before and laughed it off but now I’m literally sure it’s true.
I actually might have to start wearing a tinfoil hat unironically
And thats why you get an android and block all the permissions on it. So theres less to track you.

It’s literally not just simply tracking my searches it’s reading my brain waves

so uhhh, how much clearchannel radio buttrock you listen to, bud?
Julian Gomez
None its fucking obscure shit like my bloody valentine and sun kil moon
Noah Harris
What songs have you downloaded or searched?
Brayden Hughes
You do know if you type a song on youtube or on any service, they save that info and customise ads and make a profile of you right. They literally track every key stroke and listen to every word you say.

One time I was talking to my dad about the oil pipelines in Syria, I went outside to smoke a cig, opened up youtube, and guess what pops up as an ad? Zion oil. They lurkin

Simple, it's because faggots similar to you have been listening to the same shitty emo songs. Humans always overestimate their uniqueness, pathetic.
imagine being this mentally retarded there are a bajillion other possible causes and the first explanation you jump to is brain activity monitoring?

Phones scan your retinas which is attached to your brain. They monitor your brain waves when you watch certain videos or listen to music, to see what's appealing to you. Phones are literally data mining devices, like DNA tests.
Jace Cox
There is no magic. You've signed up for all kinds of services in your lifetime. You gave them your prefs (or they silently stole them), whether you remember it or not. Google/Apple/etc pay for all that info and combine it into your profile. Also, like Amazon's "other fags also bought these items!" feature, the services keep track of shit that similar losers did or liked.
what was the song you got fucked in the ass to on prom night, fago?

Until all the nine eleven spygeslation nonsense is undone and phones get cool, a red letter pouch could fuck it off from reporting to goolag until the next time it's charging or wifi'ing Jow Forums probably.
I know there's no technologically plausible way they could read our minds, but sometimes these things are so conveniently timed. ie think about something random, sometimes from a couple years back, and then suddenly get recommended a video or news related to that random thing I was thinking about. probably just confirmation bias, but still, the feeling is there

This is real user, I've had similar experiences of phones detecting thoughts especially when it comes to music.
When I lived at home my stepdad was into a lot of death metal, which I was fairly indifferent towards I preferred prog rock and the like, specifically i was super into Tool. Any time I would come into the house or the area where it was playing it would start playing tool, perfect circle ect. Stuff that it definitely wasn't playing when I wasn't around. It happened enough for us both to acknowledge it.

Technologically it's more than plausible. Your brain has an electromagnetic resonance. It emits waves that can be picked up on and manipulated.
Kevin Russell
Those bands aren’t obscure at all. You are a category, user, and your musical tastes are very predictable. How did you come to know these songs in the first place? Answer that and you’re on the path.

all google suggests to me are shitty rap music & other top 40 trash non-stop.

The matrix is much more malleable than you realize user.

Ya’ll have it backwards.
The media was placed in front of you to shape your personality. They only need to know a few data points to figure out which archetype your pursued. From that, the rest of your choices are eminently predictable.

>Give information to a computer by providing it with a playlist and probably other shit >Apple Algorithms figure you out >Pick songs that it thinks are right for you >Turns out Apple has good algorithms Pic related. I only just opened up this today, and have only ever searched/downloaded 1 song onto itunes
This is Apple Corp calling. There is absolutely no cause for concern. We do not do intrusive monitoring of our customers. We honour the privacy of our users.
BTW, you should chew your food more; there are whole corn kernels in your stools.
So I stole an iPhone with Apple Music. Just the other day I was looking at suggested music and I found a “favorites” playlist that was somehow generated for me.

One example that is haunting me still: it’s the song that was playing when I lost my virginity to sum crack ho. I made point to never listen to it again because she was so wack
And that fucking song was in the favorites list even though I literally never played it in my phone or google searched it!!!!!
That is the most extreme example but nearly every song on the playlist had a certain sentimental value for me, be it a song that was playing when I was shooting crips with my homies or when I was crying when I got caught by cops in a home break-in.

Let alone Watergate or a prez getting his dick sucked. Only shizo retards look for extraordinary explanations when the real controversy is right in front of them. It's all blatantly our there in the open, like L O L dude. I WISH humanity could be controlled by a few because that would imply that we'd still have control, instead of it being an all out chaos shitstorm
My phone won't have much work to do. My brainwaves are limited to short bursts. Usually when I'm watching porn. The rest of the time there isn't much activity.
Top kek! You ser are the embodiment of pepe. The highest of keks to you.

If only I had the brain power to find my way there. Looks like I'm stuck here forever.

you have to go back

you half assed the nigger act

I've had the same with youtube. The only sensible answer I can think of is that the AI is trying to communicate by applying game theory(which is flawed) and signalling in the only way it can. Either that or we're just more perceptive than most. Probably the last one.
Unfortunately, people are really predictable. Yes, even you reading this. We all fall into similar patterns of likes and dislikes. They can use whatever metadata has been collected about you to pinpoint your music choice to a tee. Insurance companies use similar information to determine what to charge you. For example, having a Gmail email address will raise your car insurance by ~£100.
This is why everyone should be concerned about data collection. Use adblockers and script blockers on your web browser. Minimise all data leakage you can. Don't use social media. It's impossible to eacape the botnet completely but you can make life difficult for them.
Just by analysing your data, they can probably guess you post on Jow Forums if they wanted to.
