Episode #10: Giving Thanks 🦃

As we enter holiday season here in the US, there’s no shortage of identity news in tech.

But in this episode (our 10th, yay!) we’re gonna take a break — a breather— especially from the likes of Amazon and their downward slide into being the sole champions of George Orwell’s surveillance nightmare writ large.

We wanted to share our gratitude with everyone who continues to support and believe in what we’re building here at Kairos — from investors to employees, customers to partners, family, friends, and beyond. It all means the world to us, and we’re working our tails-off to do right by you. Stay tuned!

Netflix and, look, can you just chill-out for a second. Geez.

“Eye don’t know who you are. Eye don’t know what you want. If you are looking for rom-coms Eye can tell you Eye don’t have that many good ones, but what Eye do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills Eye have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my data go now that’ll be the end of it. Eye will not look for you, Eye will not pursue you, but if you don’t, Eye will look for you, Eye will find you and I will track your ocular movements.” — Netflix (it just went sentient).
