This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I'm fed up with the streaming services, so I'm getting back to my big pile of DVDs and Blu-Ray discs.
I was randomly reminded of the "BD-Live" thing that I tried long ago. One of the most janky joyless things I had ever seen. Some marketing person had decided to do a marketing thing for movie promos and trailers and had forgotten that the thing was to be visited by actual people.
This sounds like it was cooked up by the same people. Looks like marketing people building a Thing.
Ah yes, that’s what will get me to engage with ads all they needed to do was put my face in them.
Business majors are so fucking stupid.
Ads are much more likely to be effective on me if they have attractive people in them.
It will engage me to turn it off.
It's certainly engaged me to never, ever invest in their services. Ever.
Seriously. If I notice the ad, I avoid the product. For example, ads for native and old spice are everywhere on YouTube and super obnoxious so when I need body wash and I hit the store, my fist reaction to seeing those brands is to recall the negative emotions I felt from the last time I had to interact with that brand. So they are spending money to get me to avoid their products.
I was taught none of that during my undergrad. Instead, i say that people who are greedy just happened to get business degrees as a tool to help them be greedy.
This is going to be an absolute nightmare for schizophrenics.
Imagine someone gets back at their ex and puts a dispenser with LSD in it programmed to dispense a bit every like 15 liters poured out of their Samsung Fridge... Which will probably also play adds with your face on it.
was....was this you?
Seems like a real can / should problem to me.
Hard to believe this would entice anyone to purchase where a sexy lady couldn't.
looking pretty gay in that pullover hoodie. thats why you need a bearskin hoodie that makes you look like a real man.
I haven't heard DirecTV mentioned in such a long time, I'm a little surprised it still exists
nope
Maan, I‘d rather have proper self lacing shoes. This version of the future sucks.
You misspelled "shove"
How long before someone uses this feature to create a feature length porno?
So, ah ... yeah.
Who in their right mind would think this is a good idea? Are managers so caught up in the "just add AI bro it will make us cool" hype train that no one stops to think "yeah I would never want this in my living room"?
they know what they're doing, they're just disgusting humanoids.
Its like that one Black Ops 2 mission
Salazar: We're all going to hell, man.
I’m so glad someone on this platform got that reference
That's creepy as fuck and would guarantee I never buy that product.
Humanity could do many great things in this world with AI. Instead we are coming up with innovative new ways to give you ads. Get me out of this timeline.
Literal nightmare fuel
Nope, nope and nope.
These remaining DirecTV subscribers are gonna be pissed when AT&T swaps out the dial-tone on their landline for an ad stream.
Most of them are probably boomers and will be dead soon, anyway
If it means they will finally stop fucking voting then good deal all around!
We have zoomers for the nazi vote.
Sadly you might be right
I can't wait for this shit to become so pervasive that I only read paper books.
Paper books and comparable are now prohibited under the konzom act, your daily advertisement quota has been increased until morale improves or your mind breaks, whichever comes first.
I hate what humanity chose to do with its "God given" gifts.
Hahaha, that's not dystopian at all, hahahaha.
OK so that's the set we shouldn't buy. OK noted.
TIL DirecTV is still around.
Not my face. I‘m staying far away from those things. I wonder if generating personalized ads can even be profitable. Seems like a lot of effort to dish out some slop.
