Wearable Startup 'Verity' Announces Social Credit Tracker That Rates Your Moral Fitness in Real-Time
SAN FRANCISCO — When Verity Labs founder Raj Patel announced today that his new wearable device would “measure moral fitness in real-time,” the company’s stock price jumped 12% before falling 8% when the company revealed they had no idea what that actually meant.
The device, officially named the Verity Band and shaped like a slightly thicker Apple Watch, allegedly uses “proprietary neural algorithms” to track a wearer’s social credit score by analyzing their proximity to other people, their phone screen time, and whether they’ve smiled at a stranger.
