Not to defend zoom, but every commercial platform is going to or has already done this. Commodify everything.

On the plus side you will be able to send your ai avatar to your zoom meeting while you are off eating and drinking and enjoying. All for a massive monthly fee of course.

i do this already its called mute microphone and mute video. Bonus points if you stick around the meeting long enough to hear your supervisor go “I’d love it if everyone could show their face I haven’t seen some of you in so long…” and you laugh before going on a walk outside.

Ah but for a mere 15% of your annual salary (pre tax) your avatar will appear as you in real time both visually and audibly. Also everyone else on the conference will also be an ai avatar. This way you can probably shop yourself out to multiple corporations simultaneously. And you also just pay the ai to do your actual work as well, again for just a simple monthly subscription that works out to 15% of your annual salary (pre tax). As the subscriptions mount up it becomes obvious that your existence is just a circuitous manifold pipe to circulate money in an economic system that has fully virtualized itself. Your final subscription is to the suicide service.

…I just came back to say thanks for showing me this issue and saw you’d replied. I just deleted zoom off my phone and laptop, and will really try to avoid using it now. Thank you!
