I am perplexed at he. Why the hell would I want this?
It’s a three-pronged attack: Subliminal, liminal, and super-liminal
These fuckers are just so delusional and out of touch with reality. Personalized ads my ass. We’ve been promised those for decades but pretty much all the ads I see on YouTube are from major retail chains with precisely zero relevance to me. They will show the ads of whoever pays for them. Your personal preferences are only relevant when it comes to targeting you with political propaganda.
I don’t fucking want personalized ads no matter how relevant they are to me. I only have so much money to buy stupid materialistic bullshit and once that’s gone all an ad can do is make me want something I can’t have. Ads are just trying to make you discontent.
They just want you to spend more money in a failed attempt to be happier adding complexity to my life when I’d rather just be content with simplicity. And they work really fucking well on my wife. I automatically distrust anything someone is paying money to show me.
Perplexity ? More like Debility.
I have gotten a year Perplexity pro subscription for free somewhen in summer last year. Guess, I won’t even think about split second about paying for this service or even using it after my free year has run its course.
I think I read somewhere they want to buy Chrome from Google if they are forced to sell. So not many changes, just switching owners who ultimately do the same thing.
i’m not a Chrome user, so screw both google and perplexity.
OpenAI also wants to buy Chrome.
And Yahoo, lol
When your feed is trying to send you a message
Where is the hacktivism when you need it? These companies need to be gutted from the inside out.
Begin, the AI wars have.
Srinivas believes that Perplexity’s browser users will be fine with such tracking because the ads should be more relevant to them.
Believes it, or is just spinning it that way?
You could show me an ad for exactly what I want in that moment and I’d immediately not want it any more.
Enough already.

Depends, if it is an ad for an orbital laser that targets marketing executives it might work on me.

proceeds to show something you don’t want at all
Exactly!
When you quit talking to potential customers and go right for the unhinged investors.
I would like for the people, who come up with these ideas, to dogfood their own product. Actually force them to try their own medicine. It would be a single digit percentage of acceptance then
You grossly underestimate how much some people truly love the idea of highly personalized ads. People who believe they are the best possible outcome and cannot fathom why anyone would have any problem with them at all. That’s who you are asking to dogfood this product, and they would and would find no issues with it.
This is really good information, now I know to avoid their browser like the plague.
In mean it’s what Google is doing for years now. Not saying it’s good by any means but it’s nothing new anymore.
Can’t sell reams and reams of customer data if you don’t have any customers.

Surely people don’t actually want this, right?
