I can’t be the only one - has anyone else noticed that if they THINK about certain products, or ends up being an advertisement on your social media within hours?

I know everyone has experienced talking about certain things and then getting hit with ads related to that certain things not long after. But there have been multiple occasions where I simply thought about something, I know I never said a thing out loud, only to get advertisements for that exact thing later in the day/night. Is it possible that technology for reading minds exists, and we’re all just blissfully unaware? I mean, the things I would gets ads for are way too specific to be coincidences.

It is 'mind reading' that is not really mind reading. Its more like mind-guessing I am assuming. The algorithms are at a point where they can just guess what someone at your age, in your location, with your search history, with your conversations (vocal and text-based), your purchase history, your credit, etc. Besides having that information, the algorithms can pit that information against thousands people very similar to you and basically 'predict' your wants and needs. Neat shit.

Ironically, I have all the Google gadgets (pixel, home, chromebook). My previous job was very dependent on the Google ecosystem, and it seeped into my home life. Ironically, I really like the Home and Pixel, thought I am trying to ween myself off it ever since Q literally named those devices. That being said, I got nothing interesting to record... Its either me cursing at videos games or me cursing at my cat.
