Ad prices (and revenue of these companies) keep going up tho... 2010-2022 - https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WPU365 2023-2025 - https://data.bls.gov/dataViewer/view/timeseries/WP…

Why not? These are not new problems. They are ancient and different people have dealt with them with different levels of success. AI has access to all those strategies. So maybe on…

Its all subjective. There is no clear quantification of X Attention consumed = Y Value produced. So saying what the algo does is important is like saying astrology is important. Or…

Not just your dad but the vast majority don't use these features either. The human brain has a natural upper limit in how many times it's beliefs can update per year. If the Total …

Cause the story is no more about Business or Economics. This is more like the nuke arms race in the 1940s. Red Queen Dynamics.

He is an Attention addict. Just like Trump. They keep churning out shit everyday to get people to pay Attention to them. Why else buy Twitter/start truth social etc. So that their …

Or they can move elsewhere. Just like their ancestors and every other immigrant on the planet does when they can't find a job at home.

What you are talking about is info overload and break down of "shared stories" as content explodes faster than there are people or time to consume it all. In Economics they will te…

Good to see such experiments. Thought C-Suite would see it happen before Govt/Cabinets though. That is surprising.

Eric Schmidt type leaders use fear and doubt to get the chimp troupe to do things. Mostly always benefiting Eric Schmidt more than anyone else. He used the same methods in google a…

Well before it was the pedo priest with the same dialogue. So maybe an improvement. Good friend of the Church, Nietzsche predicted dystopia long ago but it never plays out the way …
