Amazon’s Halo Device Will Tell You If You’re Condescending, Opinionated, or Fat

There’s nothing angelic about Amazon’s new wearable technology.
Halo, Amazon’s new AI health bracelet, offers body composition analysis, tone of voice analysis, sleep & activity tracking. Presumably, this new tech is another convenient application to bring awareness to users of such things as too much body fat or if their tone is a bit too abrasive or “condescending.”
While some individuals may benefit from both of these nudges, a recent review of Halo by the Washington Post (the unabashed purveyor of the loss of civil liberties) forcibly admits that Halo is the “most invasive tech we’ve ever tested.”
Authors Geoffrey Fowler and Heather Kelly wrote:
Hope our tone is clear here: We don’t need this kind of criticism from a computer. The Halo collects the most intimate information we’ve seen from a consumer health gadget – and makes the absolute least use of it. This wearable is much better at helping Amazon gather data than at helping you get healthy and happy.
Incidentally, Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post.

I do not need them to tell me if I’m condescending, opinionated, or fat.

Hey, man, it’s just my opinion, and you’re probably too stupid to really understand this, but I’m pretty fat.

Does it run its analysis through filters based on politics and “intersectionality” before offering it?
Because I bet there’s a built-in bias against straight, white, conservative males to take their egos down a peg.

Democrats, frightened sheep, unpopular RINOs.

I don’t need no stinking device to analyze me. I know I’m fat, opinionated, and condescending already.
