Regarding that link I just boosted. I must mention it again. Somewhere in the middle there is this image. And below it: «It was a survey of ad industry people: “300+ publishers, adtech, brands, and various others…” Pause for a moment and look at that chart again. Nearly all those proffesionals in the business would not accept what their businesses do to other human beings.»
Pause for a moment, yes indeed.

This ⬆️ article is gold. “All the AI and ML in the world won’t be worth much if the whole point of it is to sell us shit.”
I just wonder whether there is also a bit of wishful thinking in there. It was a good article to start my Monday morning in any case.
