This is also an issue with the apple tv app on other devices.

I just went through this. We got free apple tv by having T-Mobile. My TV has the apple tv app. We had apple laptops, but we spent all afternoon trying to find a way to set up an account and get it on the TV. The solution we eventually found was to charge up an old broken iphone.

Just signed up for apple tv. I had to dig through my box of old phones to find my iphone with a crushed screen but would charge to activate my account. Very strange process.

I guess I'm just wondering if this power can be used for good instead of evil. Like, if I'm trying to lose weight, make it show me things that make eating healthy and working out look fun and eating crap look bad. The way it is now, they might identify that I engage with pictures of candy or fastfood, so they sell ads to crap food companies to get me to buy their crap food. Or, how about we incorporate smart watches into it, so they can measure my vitals. Say I want to get to bed at 10, I want my algorithm to start showing me soothing things at like 9:30. Over time, it might learn the kind of things that keep me up at night and avoid them.

Right, it's in their interest to maximize my engagement. I want to subscribe to an algorithm that maximizes for making me a happier, more well rounded person, who maybe isn't on my phone so much.

Can I pay to have my algorithm maximize my happiness instead of someone else's profit. I'd legit pay for an news feed that showed me all the things I'd be interested in without feeding into all the things that are bad for my mental health.

Lots of good wineries up that way. Not sure this is the right time of year but if you got a nice weekend it would be good.
