While advertising for literal scams. About 10% of Meta’s revenue is from literal scams.

With rising sea levels and general water shortages, why don’t we also use them as desalination plants?

Surely there has to be a way to deal with brine, it’s just salt and water after all?

Companies have already been SEOing LLMs for a few months now. There are companies who have a panel of participants who are willing to share their data, and this is then used to estimate what people might be searching on LLMs and now to optimise content so that it shows up on responses across LLMs.

Ads was the logical direction for LLMs and has always been the only pathway to any substantial revenue.

I am convinced Nolan is basically just a ‘influencer’ paid by Imax to keep Imax alive.

It’s only going to go up. Look at how revenues are increasing, it’s basically ad and PR money.

They can finally get rid of McKinsey and blame it on cheaper and faster trendy butthole logo of the month.

Our team has been working on implementing AI across functions in our company. And I was told me that the CEO wants to eliminate jobs and hence these AI implementations need to succeed.

PS: So far they’re not succeeding.

There are a lot of independent creators out there too.

I want a future where communities self host their media and circumvent media companies like Netflix and Disney. Local film clubs, TV clubs, hobbyists, etc. can come together and host as a collective bringing down costs and making this more accessible.

You see productivity gains have nothing to do with AI. It’s being pushed down our throats because some elites have vested interest in its success and it’s another way to extract more money from the consumers.

Probably makes sense yeah.

Yes but even in most video games, when you respawn you don’t have to start from the beginning each time. You start from where you die or a save point.

I guess what I am noticing in these shows is that you die or go out and then come back again and do the same things again. And it loops ad finitum.

Yeah i was wondering if these shows are channeling some kind of anxieties around futility/hopelessness of the system.

Also Mickey 17 is by Bong Joon Ho, so the class system analogy makes sense too.

Not really death but going in and out of Lumen kind of resets things and they have to figure their way out. It seems similar.
