Yes, vacation memories are nice, even if they aren't real.

If I can’t afford a holiday, I’m definitely pissing my money up the swanny on AI.

The fact that this would never occur to me as a viable product probably shows my age. I guess?
I get the point, you can show the pictures and lie about going on vacation. And, come to think of it, the idea is akin to using filters on zoom, and even makeup, to an extent.
Hmmm, I suppose someday we'll be buying designer digital clothes to wear since everyone will have on AR glasses for every waking moment. After we get rid of the fascists again, the future is going to be weird.

  Some people want the cultural value of being seen to go on vacations as the main reason to travel.

  Fascists will stay for the foreseeable future. They have nowhere to go, neither do they have any willingness to go. They feel cozy and warm where they are.

This is just sad, really. Especially since the audience for this will know it's AI, asking the question of who exactly do they think they're fooling?

  I feel like our modern life, due to cultural and economic factors, is just slowly.. then rapidly, heading towards being composed almost entirely of a simulacrum. The real being eroded away in favour of the hyperreal

  There was a documentary written about this a while back. Something about human batteries by two trans women.

  i think one of Adam Curtis' movies is about that. Not sure if it's HyperNormalization or Can't get you out of my head or another one

  Sadly, distant friends and strangers on the Internet.

A better products would be pictures of me at work so I can go on vacation.

If you can't afford vications in another country, going somewhere local will be way way cheaper! But I guess it's Venice, Paris or go home.
hotdogcharmer @lemmy.zip 6d ago
Jesus Christ that's so sad. What's sadder is I reckon about half of my current colleagues would buy this. Fucking morons.
Twongo [she/her] @lemmy.ml 6d ago
i WILL ridicule people for this.
but honestly: this is likely ragebait.
We're not different from most people. Thinking "This is ridiculous" is not just YOUR first instinct :3

Just give me the lobotomy that makes me believe I am Arnold Schwarzenegger on Mars.
