I recommend reading the article, because holy fuck is that whole thing dystopian, but here’s who was there:

A completely unsurprising list of companies lol
Monitoring in technology bros minds:

Monitoring in real world:
- Look Johny according to this map this pedophile was near the school again

- No it crashed again, need to submit it manually, what a moron, now he have 100 years in prison, he will never get rid of this chip
- this new donuts place is awesome.
I really want to know the name of the contractor who made that proposal.
