Rebranding Precarity: Pop-up Culture as the Glamorous New Normal

It feels as if the concept pop-up is the city culture equivalent of gig economy in the working "style".

Rebranding Precarity: Pop-up Culture as the Glamorous New Normal

If these AI voice devices weren't their pet projects, what would have been the true cost of being able to make simple commands like switching lights and playing music using your voice? And now without the prospect of monetising these devices from voice-based purchases, will they become more aggressive surveillance devices to monetise other aspects of our homes? https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/11/amazon-alexa-is-a-colossal-failure-on-pace-to-lose-10-billion-this-year/
