EDIT: I'm informed (mea culpa) that this is supposed to be satire. Thank dog for that.

Holy cats that's some nightmare dystopian shit there -- and in the year 2026 that is saying something.

"Fix Them"

*FIX THEM* ???

You fix your brakes before they fail. You fix your HVAC before it fails. You fix that loose thread in your pants before the seam fails and you're airing your posterior in public.

You do not "fix" children, FFS. You especially do not do it by subjecting them to "audio and visual monitoring" you unbelievable creeps.

That's some Black Mirror shit that seems to have escaped the containment of dystopian fiction.

@jzb it's meant to be satire, thank goodness (scroll to the bottom: https://www.nurtureos.ai/ ). Although the campaign looks like it is funded by an AI company, so that just makes it... kinda weird?

@toke Argh. Thanks. I think it's a bit too close to reality these days to be *effective* satire, but I'm deeply relieved that it is apparently not a real product. Yet.

@jzb yeah, I had the exact same thought. Basically went to their web site muttering to myself "please be satire, please be satire"...
