Curious how big-tech platforms, actively moderating every user action on their platform (for advertiser-friendliness), while often involved with codeveloping the world’s leading AI models, are somehow unable to moderate advertisement content. Certainly no conflict of interest there…

I do wonder what downstream consequences this might entail: if YouTube starts baking advertisements right into videos, would they still classify as advertisements? And what would this in turn mean for content-creators’ sponsored content (often constituting a significant portion of their income)?

As much as I passionately hate advertisements (leading me to mercilessly block every single one of them), I rather have platforms using advertisements for monetization, than doubling down on selling user-data.

You’re on an entirely different plane of reality mate, my brain just can’t fathom such concept

And the next patent will be about a controller, not actually being plugged into the console, but merely giving gamers the illusion of affecting the gameplay…

Politicians are already hellbent on “age”-verifying social-media, but Elon seems believe there to be a lack of urgency in this regard… Please regulate social-media harder daddy! Please, we’ve had the resources to comply with these perverse regulations for a while now. I didn’t hijack this platform, just for the lefties to be able to speak their mind on alternative platforms…

So that’s why Australia initially included GitHub, on the list of “social-media” platforms to be banned under 16?

An AI gooner Aquapet… “what a time to be alive”

So Amazon is basically trying to overtake Google Shopping? To ultimately be able to see what consumers are interested in, beyond the products offered by Amazon. This would allow them to anticipate for trending products, make their own knockoff of it, and list it prominently on their own platform. And if the original vendors want to appear higher (still below Amazon’s mind you), they’d have to pay for advertisements: which is where the money is at. Beautiful dark patterns… :)
