Well, now you can directly target people so personalized ads when you're walking down the street. I'm scared it would devolve to pseudo-hallucinations ('did you hear that?').
Or subliminal messages/mind control. I imagine psychiatrist visits would be up due to this annoying voice in peoples heads. lol.
Because then it's obvious where it came from. Much better to spam people anonymously from a distance.

People annoying other people with laser pointers is going to become _so_ much more annoying.

True. Antisocial behaviour gets orders of magnitude worse and more prevalent once you can actually make money with it.

Coz then you can personalize and target?
