Ticketmaster’s personalized AI slop ads are a glimpse at the future of social media advertising, a harbinger of system that Mark Zuckerberg described last week in a Meta earnings call. This future is one where AI is used both for ad targeting and for ad generation; eventually ads are going to be hyperpersonalized to individual users, further siloing the social media experience: "Advertisers are increasingly just going to be able to give us a business objective and give us a credit card or bank account, and have the AI system basically figure out everything else that’s necessary, including generating video or different types of creative that might resonate with different people that are personalized in different ways, finding who the right customers are,” Zuckerberg said.

Oh shit where do I buy?
The future is no ads.
I think the future of obvious ads are Ai, but the future of ads are your own family members and friends hawking dish soap for 1% commission rates on their social media.
Heck, the present is ublock origin!
In an geological scale of time, humanity will very soon cease to exist and this will be undisputed truth
Oh, I wish that were true, but things are not this certain.
We really need to teach everyone to use ad blockers. Ads have not existed on “my” internet since the 2000s…
I’m always horrified if I’m on a browser without a blocker, the web just so much more distracting and intense.
Advertising doesn’t work on me. And it’s not because I’m some ultra-savvy “you can’t trick me” smart guy (I am but that’s not the point)… It’s that advertising doesn’t speak to me in the way I need to be spoken to. What I need to hear is how a product is going to change my life or improve it, and advertising doesn’t do that. All the subtleties about lifestyle, self-worth, being accepted by others, that’s just wasted effort on me.
I’d rather pay for shit and not have ads.
But that’s the thing, they can have you pay for a 2000 dollar refrigerator and still send you ads.
Lmao, the ultimate grift
I honestly can’t remember the last time I saw an ad. pi-hole + ublock origin. Never see them at all.
I need to update my pi-hole but I’m terrified to… I’ve been using it for more than five years and it’s been a hands-off champion; I’m afraid if I updated it’ll get all fucked up and I’ll have to reinstall.
I’ve had mine probably 5-6 years and I mostly forget about it. I probably update it once a year. It really is a set it and forget it piece of kit.
I was so scared to get it set up… it was my first Linux experience other than an Ubuntu box in 2007 or so. It was soooo much easier than I expected. I have it as my DHCP server tho, so if it goes down, my house has no web. I reeeeeally should update the system and my block lists though…
The world would be so much better if marketing and advertising were outright banned from the internet.
Not just the internet
Oh look, yet another reason to use an ad blocker.
Personalised my foot. When I browsed youtube logged into my google account all I got was generic TV ads for womens hair care products. I am a bald male.
Amazon recommended me a book by Charlie Kirk. I guess the algorithm hasn’t got me yet.
Charlie kirk can write?
Not any more.
where have i seen that before?
Is this the web browser in GTA?
Naa this is from the documentary “Idiocracy”. You should watch it. There are a lot of accurate predictions even though it’s kind of old now.
They got a lot of stuff wrong, TBH. President Camacho, for all his superficial similarity to Trump, is sincerely invested in helping his country. Reality is way, way worse.
