The best part of consuming advertising of your favorite brands is knowing your hard earned money is paying for the advertising you have just consumed.
The best part of targeted advertising for your favorite brands is knowing your private data is helping your favorite brands save money targeting you to manipulate you to spend more of your money for your favorite brand to target you for more advertising.
The pure beauty of the world imagined by Spike Jonze in “Her” (2013) is a world without advertising. It has been killed by “AI” and humans are adapting to the shift to a world without advertisers because our AI agents handle that for us in the future. medium.com/@profcarroll/s…
It speaks to the ridiculousness of Mark Zuckerberg’s rhetoric. He always exclaims that AI will save Facebook from its worst offenses. The truth is that AI will make Facebook obsolete. Who needs brands when advertising itself is killed by AI?
Amazon is systematically destroying brands. Click once for Amazon products delivered in an hour. Click ten times for non-Amazon products that cost more and arrive next week. Silicon Valley will kill advertising while promising “monetization.” It’s over. All of it.

At the premiere. It’s about to happen. #Sundance
It’s mind blowing. #TheGreatHack is incredible, an impossible film to make yet it’s been fully realized. General audiences and #CambridgeAnalytica obsessives alike will have so much to talk about when it’s released on Netflix. I’m so grateful to be a part of it. #Sundance
Seems to me that there are at least 3 previously unknown revelations in #TheGreatHack about #CambridgeAnalytica — but no spoilers here from me, for now. Let’s see what the reviewers pick up on over the next 4 screenings at #Sundance.

Those annoying cookie notices added for GDPR could be illegal because they obscure clear and specific disclosures and true choice. Huge Google CNIL ruling is a warning shot for the whole industry. Stop crapping around and get your privacy-by-design on. digiday.com/media/google-g…
GDPR governs UX. Many in the industry are still in denial.
Industry is terrified of being GDPR compliant because that would entail letting about 2/3rds of users easily express their preference to protect their data instead of leaking it to real time bidding auctions. Research suggests only 1/3 of users want targeted ads. Let ‘em choose.

So I found out a friend of mine was using some pirated pdf @Wizards_DnD products to plan his next campaign. Found out he had no intention of purchasing, nor did he feel bad because they were a "big company." Here is why that pisses me off:

#dungeonsanddragons #CriticalRole
I am CEO of a really tiny RPG company that is desperately trying to break even on our products. We do this for love, for sure, but things cost money. Not only that, as much as I thought I did, the main thing that I have learned is how much work it takes to make even small things.
Right now we are working on a #savage worlds setting called #ArchonsofNikud and it is going to cost us thousands of dollars and untold thousands of person hours to make. It is hard to describe the blood, sweat, and tears that will go into this project.

Catfishing, Racisim and Sex Work
A Thread

If you’ve been a provider for even a short length of time you’ve had a prospective client ask for photos. Regardless of the fact you may have lots of photos in your advertising, this client wants more.
When you ask them why the 10 or so photos on your ads plus the selfies you place on social media aren’t enough they tells you they’ve “been fooled before”
What they are referring to is something called “catfishing”
We’ve all seen the MTV show.
Person A meets person B online but when they finally meet, person B isn’t who they said they were.
So catfishing in sex work is when the photos in the advertisement don’t match the sex worker in person.

Builder wants to get the certificate through Akrama Sakrama and which is pending in Supreme court. There is no way I can get relief from this as entire ecosystem not supporting
@bmkavalrwa @DrParameshwara @PMOIndia @5 Buyers are not ready as banks will not give loans..no one seems to be bothered by the plight that we are going through. I have paid(after paying IT) for my dwelling and not asking for free, why all these barriers? I request the issue to be taken at highest place and resolve soon!

(1)#ReinstateRobynGritz were at Circa. Because of McCabe’s vicious retaliation against me for filing an EEO discrimination complaint, I lost everything, my career of 16 years fighting terrorism and protecting the American people, my role in bringing Americans out of captivity,
(2) I recently touched base with one of those individuals, Roxana Saberi, who now has a flourishing career. I was the Supervisor over putting Chuckie Taylor away for torture & war crimes, Wesame Deleame for killing American soldiers, Robert Levinson who I believe remains in Iran
(3) I believe Bob should have been home at least a decade ago and will not rest until I expose the reason why he was not a priority to McCabe’s best friend, NSB Chief Carl Ghattas. I have worked on the Holyland Foundation aka Hamas case as a case agent over the NJ office head

1/ Bitcoin price is falling off the cliff. It was $20k at peak and now in 30 days, it has crashed 64% to around $6k today.

What’s happening? The answer lies in its network effects.

This thread will explain how bitcoin rose and why it’s falling.
2/ Here's bitcoin without network effects.

In early days of bitcoin, few enthusiasts who believed in developing a system where anyone could send anyone else money without a central authority (like a bank) or without requiring anyone’s permission (like a government).
3/ Early bitcoin enthusiasts invested their hard earned money and time in setting up this network. Let’s assume that the cost of doing this was $X and the network had a total of BTC A amongst all of them.
