Notice all the little "Well, obviously not those ads" and implied consent scattered throughout your explanation? Did you even consider how much that would entrench current businesses if smaller companies couldn't advertise? Or how that would proliferate enshittifying conglomerates that can package their products under a blanket consent form, locking out advertisements from competitors? How would this work for traditional advertisements like flyers, radio broadcasts, and billboards? If you banned those outright, all that remains is online advertisements, and if you think big tech has an entrenchment advantage now? Just wait until media platforms and ISPs are the gatekeepers of the most effective means of reaching customers and growing their business.
Lastly, do you have any conception of how much advertising subsidizes modern society? Think of everything from little leagues (which use corporate sponsors to pay for equipment and referees) to social media including lemmy! Every instance I know of includes an advertisement somewhere asking for donations to either support lemmy developers, or cover server cost. You could make them all paid services, but now you've locked out poor people from participating. Organizations could hide all functionality behind a consent form to show advertisements to subsidize cost, but then there is just a formality checkbox you must click before using any free online web service - solving exactly none of the actual issues around malware delivery, intrusive data collection, poor resource management, or even the most basic problem of advertisements being annoying.
I'm done here. Start thinking, and until then, stop wasting bytes and oxygen.
How did you find out about the day care? Again, you "idea" is only quarter-baked at best. Your plan is to have me sign a consent form every time I enter a store with custom labels on the objects?
Seriously, fuck off with this nonsensical shit so the rest of us can focus on actual solutions. Because right now, all you are doing is wasting the bandwidth of your ISP, and everyone who has to mentally filter out your comment.
What is advertising then? When a company explains the benefit of its own product? A link to a particular product or service? Would word of mouth among consumers be a form of advertising? If not, then why not companies showing a word of mouth for other (affiliated) companies? What is the distinction between a company and the owner in the case of a sole proprietorship?
My point is, if this wasn't obvious enough, there are so many obvious problems and loop holes with this approach, you should give it a think for 20 minutes and then start saying something else.
On the contrary, someone can learn a lot from a question like this. If they immediately spit out the answer, then I know that they studied and came prepared to answer common questions like that. If they give a response like the OP, then I know they are an asshole to work with. If they don't know, do they ask follow up questions or ask for a moment to think can tell me how well they like to work in a group. If they talk about asking a coworker vs researching a solution independently first can tell me how they may react to a brick wall of a problem. Last thing that comes to my mind, is how long they try before giving up. That can be a good indicator for how they treat work meetings - do they push through the task one at a time and in exact order, or do they have the social skills to know when it is time to shut up and move on to the next thing.
I teach a state university in the US, and AI use is encouraged for tasks that LLMs are actually good at. Generating wrong answers for multiple choice questions, formatting latex documents, writing excel formulas, etc. We've also used it during some brain storming sessions to generate ideas and check for any obvious holes in our ideas.
I recently moved and got rid of mine. However, I used to live in a really rough neighborhood. A lot of heavy drug use. Most folks were good people when sober, but when high, they don't think logically, and bad mixes can cause aggression. Thankfully never had to shoot anyone, but police were called a few times with guns at the ready in case things escalated before police arrived. My mom still lives in that area, so I left her with a 38 special, a 20 guage shotgun, and a habit of calling the police the moment anything feels off in the neighborhood.
The poster's name is the screengrab is "The weirdest CEO of a recruit..." - so I'm voting for satire personally. I do see your point, I am just feeling like a pedant this morning.
Personally, I think it is because she's a true believer. She's crazy, and too dumb to be trusted to be let in on the grift, so she just fights for what she's "supposed" to be fighting for. While that is normally something awful, the situation does make the broken clock right twice a day.
Yeah, I've been told that on here before. I was born in 1988 and it's been part of my online persona since I was a young teen. I didn't know about the HH implication until I started hanging out in more leftist circles on reddit and eventually here
Not necessarily, but it would be ironic if you were a non-native speaking English person living in the US. That would likely indicate that you or your parents are exactly the type of people that Trump and his friends are trying to vilify and make life more difficult for.
That's what the government says. But I know the truth - I know it's the queers! They are in it with the aliens to build landing strips for GAY MARTIANS! I swear to god!
Not ad brain, just a brain.
