It looks fake, if not because of the sci-fi tech then because slide decks don't go into this much detail. But it has that ring of Black Mirror plausibility that means people will pay attention to it.

A "hashlib of engine noises" for determining user social class, ha! Fitbit spent millions of dollars just trying to accurately convert wrist movement into steps taken.

The first slide, which names the presenting company as "[redacted] data broker llc" already had my bullshit alarms firing. Does someone really name their company that? Who would trust such a company?

And why would the "[redacted] Data Broker LLC" text be left-justified while the other title lines are centered? Why not redact the entire company name instead of leaving "Data Broker LLC", which is presumably part of the actual company name?
