alt Hacker News1. This is so dumb. You can be tracked any number of ways. The AigTag with or without sound is the dumbest way to track someone.

3. "An Apology" is more like a weird advertisement (I guess it worked, I read the stupid thing. But, in fairness, I've now blocked their site in a custom ublock filter, so hopefully I never stumble on it again).
4. They have expensive bikes... Why? Who cares? That's not relevant to anything!? Why did they put that in there? Was this written by a 4th grader? Fuck me. I wish I had just read more AI slop instead.

What would be dumb is to not discontinue an unsafe product because there are more dangerous products out there.
