I remind everyone that Google invested not once, but twice in this company, for a total of $350 million
Stuff like this always reminds me of the personalized ads in Mass Effect (like here: https://youtu.be/hMdIypwM2KI ). That game has accurately depicted the future.
Oh good, another reason not to buy Samsung anything. I already just didn't like their UI.
That's gonna be a yikes from me dawg
What the fuck.
Someone at Samsung submitted a user story only to troll, and it worked "I need you to drain my phone battery and data plan for ads when I dont even look at it"
so i guess i'm going to hold on the the pixel 8 for as long as i can then......
Fascinating stuff.
I do think there will eventually be pushback against the current oligarch model of technology, but it is likely I will be much older when it happens.
Just the nature of history. We are pretty early in the information age.

Don't they know how ugly the common people are. I'm not gonna buy something with an ugly guy in the ad. We ain't all plastic surgery Korean like Samsung home base.
