More of a “only speak in cultural memes” thing. We all speak in phrases mostly.

“I am feeling alarm at the moment of realization that every warrior I am commanding may be killed by the enemy who has prepared for our assault with deadly guile.” This complex and specific meaning might be encoded as “Ackbar above Endor when the Death Star struggled.”

The whole thing is a bit queationable with the whole “how can they say things without some sort of language independant of their cultural memes to encode those memes within.” That part never made sense to me.

Sorry to dissappoint.

As for purpose, it is just a higher fidelity, deeper hook into measuring you as a consumer.

Nah, fuck em. Even the less sophisticated Wi-Fi approach is skeevy as fuck. I should just trust that the will only do what they say when given more than they need? Absolutely not. They might, but I wouldn’t rely on it.

They want to use your gyroscope to synchronize your movement within the store with their mapping of what products are on which shelves.

Historically this has been done by offering free in-store Wi-Fi and then triangulating the movement of cell phones within the store based on their signal strength from the perspective of the various Wi-Fi access point supporting the store’s network, but a gyroscope will even tell them if you crouch down or turn around.

I’ma second. This is officiallly unofficial permission to begin your dissertation on unforeseen consequences. I’m here for this.
