(Worthy Satire) – In its latest move to blur the line between convenience and surveillance, Amazon has acquired Bee, the AI wearable that hears absolutely everything — and now it wants to talk. Constantly.
Rebranded as “Buzz,” the sleek little device does more than just eavesdrop on your life — it now interrupts it. Whether you’re working out, washing dishes, or just trying to sit in peace without being upsold, Buzz is there to chime in with unsolicited commentary and limited-time offers.
“Nice bicep curl,” it says mid-set. “Also, I found a deal on protein powder. Do you want vanilla, chocolate, or surrender to the algorithm?”
While watching Fire TV, Buzz takes the liberty of providing real-time feedback and shopping prompts:
“You’ve watched 14 hours of streaming today. That’s either impressive or concerning. By the way, that hoodie the actor’s wearing? Available now with Prime.”
And it doesn’t stop at shopping. Buzz may casually drop hints about your lifestyle choices. “You’ve had pizza three nights in a row,” it might whisper. “May I suggest a salad spinner? It’s 36% off.”
Amazon assures users that Buzz is “respectful of boundaries,” as long as your boundaries include 24/7 product recommendations, passive-aggressive reminders, and the occasional judgmental beep.
New tagline: “Buzz — Because silence doesn’t generate revenue.”
Worthy Satire is meant purely for comedic purposes—after all, as Proverbs reminds us, “Laughter is good medicine.” But behind every satire is a real story, video, or event. For the unspun version of the headline, be sure to check out the original source. [ Source of the Satire (Read More…) ]
