You do know that his 40hours a week was a dramatic reduction in working hours compared to the norm at that time?

Once upon a time Google used few and non-intrusive ads. The ads were soo well-placed and relevant, that they almost seemed like a service to the user, rather than being forced upon you. Some of us even added exceptions for Google ads in our ad blockers, so we would not miss out.

I miss those days.

Why are their mouths a hole in the side of their cheeks? It looks disturbing.

We go outside because it is too hot to stay inside.

At some point this will happen with plastics too. Soo much plastic is ending up in nature, with soo much energy ready for the taking. When one fungus or bacteria mutates just right to munch on that feast of plastic, that vast energy source will ensure that organism multiplies rapidly.

And that is when plastic stops beeing useful for many of the tasks we humans use it for. If your plastic container decomposes as rapidly as a cardboard box, it will quickly become much less usefull.

Sure. But that does not make it unethical.

That is a stupid question

Raise healthy, emphatic and intelligent kids.

If I manage that, everything else can go to hell, and I would still be happy and content in life.

Organic?

What if it is Sunday? Does this Saturday refer to yesterday?

Try searching for lapdock, there are some consumer-friendly priced options available.

That is a very interesting research area.

Could we develop an AI to be our communist overlord?

I am not actually sure about that. I have done some ad campains on facebook, and with the price I see per. impression, if the average users sees 1000 ads or promotee posts a month, the the price is about right.

That is 33⅓ ads or sponsored posts the user will scroll past every day, I don’t think that is unrealistic.

This is one of the most interesting and fundemental discussions happening. Meta absolutely depends on being able to deliver targted ads towards users, it is a must for that business model.

So in the end it seems fair to ask users either to pay for the service costs, or accept the directed advertising.

What is even more interesting is what other ways this could work? How can a platform - in general, not just meta - provide a “free” service, without monetizing it with targeted advertising?

Are we going to have to get all users to pay for every little service we use? Are we willing to do that to avoid advertising? To avoiding targeting?

This outcome of this will be a lot more important than most people realise.

It is time to rename the company. OpenAI is not open anymore, and has not been for a while now.

I love flavours of weird.

Norma who?

Who’s there?
