That place you were going to will owe to give you the thing you want as a reward for your effort. This is exactly how the world works.

Does the ad money in this case go to the creators of the content displayed on these displays, or does it go to Amazon who also got money from selling these displays?

A phone can do a lot. Much much more than ENIAC era supercomputer (I think you’ll have to get pretty close to the end of the previous century to find a supercomputer more powerful than a modern smartphone)

What a phone can’t do is run an LLM. Even powerful gaming PCs are struggling with that - they can only run the less powerful models and queries that’d feel instant on service-based LLMs would take minutes - or at least tens of seconds - on a single consumer GPU. Phones certainly can’t handle that, but that doesn’t mean that “cant’ do anything”.

Get a Pixel to use in China and a Xiaomi to use in America.

If you are American, you should buy Chinese tech because the Chinese government is more interested in spying on and controlling its own people than you.

Funny - I assume on one here was actually involved in creating the law that requires identification when buying pornography (or alcohol. Or tobacco) at stores, but we are all considered responsible for it to the point we are hypocrite if we object a similar law?

If someone says they are against that law now, years after it’s already established and spread, it won’t be taken as “I’m generally against the government limiting our freedom to consume what we want” but as “I want to push children to consume porn/alcohol/tobacco”. So no one argues against these laws. But it’s much more feasible to argue against the new laws - a ship that’s still in the port.

30 years from now, when they make the law that neural implants must detect illegal thoughts in the users’ biological brains and block them, you’d make the argument that it’s not fundamentally different than blocking the same topics on the internet - a practice that, by that time, will already be accepted by the general populace.

“Bullshit Discriminatory” and “Bullshit Tolerant”

I have a prehistoric girlfriend. She mostly hunts and gathers.

Isn’t this the plot of Shimoneta?

It started waaay before Trump was even born.

“The growth of dark traffic undermines the ability of publishers to fund the production of quality content, or even operate as a business. We must recognise users are not the main driver causing this.”

And Scott Messer, founder of publishing adtech consultancy Messer Media, added: “Dark traffic is unlike anything we have seen before. It’s demonetising publisher content at scale without user consent.

Are they trying to present it as if poor innocent users need to be protected from the vile ad blockers?

So basically… by being familiar with 4chan the model knows better what not to do?

I tried. It says there are monsters nearby.

What makes you think Trump’s administration will make better use of that money?

Time travelers already tried and failed. It’s a fixed point in time.

Let me guess - pineapple on pizza?

If they make the phones smaller they’ll have to make the ads smaller too. Can’t have that.

“North America” is the name of the continent. It can stay.

I guess the entirety of America is in dark corners?

1. Certainly looks like it’s going in that direction…
2. I assume you mean “the entirety of the USA”?
