Yesterday I learned about the existence of the clothing brand ASOS through a cosplay retweet from one of my contacts. This morning there was an ASOS ad poster in the subway car I rode. Tracking and personalized ads are going too far.

ITS a kind of magic🧙‍♂️
Arthur C. Clark is right.
I actually checked this thread on your node to check if someone named Arthur C. Clarke replied to my thread but I couldn't see his post. Which leads to my next question: What about?
@Hypolite Petovan "Any advanced #technology is indistinguishable from #magic. " That is his most famous quote. Alongside maybe another one, but that is not relevant here: "Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the #Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying."
In this case, it is the opposite, with a tendency to attribute pattern-matching magic to technology.
