^^^ this^^^ WTF is wrong with you people? having worked at Imagineering and a fer other places I would think you would be excited that someone was exploring the real world. Everyone wants to complain that climate change or whatever else is their personal campaign, doesn't get traction. For that people have to understand how the real world happens/has consequences.

His quote is "Stop staring at screens. If you love me, get a life...!" It sounds like a plea for others to leave the digital behind and go out in the real world occasionally.

Amazon profits from surveillance sales and has enormous research and predictive capabilities for the "whole populace." They're teaching a group of persons with incredible influence, a fiduciary responsibility to public well-being, but in a unique position to increase company sales under color of authority to coerce the populace and skirt (not break) the law. (and kudos to MarkDavis for catching his typo; hoping he'll catch mine. :-) )

No matter what else can be said, Amazon cares not a whit about their customers. Amazon cares about making money, even if it selling surveillance to police states. The customers are the product (to some extent), grist for the mill. or, for a weak-ass car analogy they are the gas for the engine...
