I used to work in adtech and the most we could do was track locations. Even that didn’t work properly for our purposes because most shops are in malls where several different stores co-exist on the same coordinates. It only worked for outlets in retail parks which were separated from one another.
After reading this thread I feel like the original post is more like a soapbox than a shitpost. No personal opinion about the politics but I thought this was a humour sub.
My mind is telling me “no”…
I love when people say they hate Hippocrates on social media
You can switch seamlessly between systemd and openrc on gentoo. Although it might be worth using one of the debian derivatives in this user’s case - not sure they should be messing with their system too much!
I think this is a case of the Seinfeld effect where people take them for granted due to them being so influential that part of their sound has become imbued into every single pop band that came after them.
It’s in my DNA, cause my pops liked to shitpost the same way,
It’s in my DNA, cause my moms liked to shitpost the same way,
DNA, DNA cause my fam like to all shitpost the same way

Not sure I buy that this comic isn’t a valid perspective. You’ve read into it that the author is claiming this is a universal experience but from the context it could equally be theirs.
Men and women alike are both awkward and bad at acknowledging rejection so I’m certain there is another comic out there with an alternative point of view on a situation like this.
Kind of an aside, but I learnt through harsh experiences as a youth that people basically categorise everyone else into a potential viable partner or not within about 5 mins of meeting them. Once that window has shut it is hard to change someone’s opinion of you. I suspect situations like this comic arise because the person asking for the date is asking without looking for cues from the other person that they see them as a potential romantic interest.
That’s their excuse but it is convenient for them that in order to train the AI the workers need to follow the exact same steps as what an AI would be doing if it was sufficiently trained. We can’t say as outsiders to what extent the actual work is assisted by AI. Seems likely that it is largely a manual process.
Yes, that’s where amazon got the name of their service from
I’m not exactly sure how they would have set this up given that their usual solution of Mechanical Turk does not pay their workers in cash anywhere outside of the US.
In some rural parts of the states Mechanical Turk is the largest employer but workers in other countries can only get paid in Amazon vouchers.
Somehow there are still a lot of Indian people working for Mechanical Turk though. It’s not clear if they are exchanging the vouchers or are stuck in a hellish walled garden where their wages can only be spent with their employer.
I believe you could buss’ in a bussy if you were so inclined
“lit” seems like a 21st century artefact to me
Yeah it was always suspect when this “shopping experience” came from the company behind Mechanical Turk.
Yeah the creative side of it is nuts. They seem to just throw things at the wall to see what sticks. I used to work in adtech doing web attribution so I’ve got some perspective on that. The upshot of it is that like 90% of a marketing budget is always wasted but no one knows which is the good 10%…
Made a comment a wee while ago with more details if you are interested - https://lemmy.world/comment/7031249
Saw a post the other day on AskUk or somewhere similar which was the most blatant astroturfing I’ve seen to date. It was someone asking if people had seen the latest ad for a toilet paper brand on tv with a brief description of the ad. The ad itself sounded like it had been designed to be a bit gross to up the meme potential, didn’t watch it though.

Kevin Smith himself has discussed it as a bad tweet in interviews since. The tweet itself is funny because it is a mixture of TMI and cringey youth slang; then the general background context of him being a professional writer makes the bad tweet more incongruous.
I think this would be less surprising if we didn’t imagine LGBTQ people were one homogeneous block of political beliefs and opinions. Some of my most right-wing friends are gay.
