> that he can improve the ecosystem for everyone using it [...] to ask me to consider his products with it only taking one minute for me to opt out Seems you misunderstand the issue. Anyone not deploying to Laravel Cloud but using that project seems to be impacted by this, even going so far that agents are confused about it and keeps insisting users should deploy to Laravel Cloud instead. Maybe I'm a grumpy old devel…

When the early adopters start pushing neural implants they'll be ad-free. Not long after your boss insists that everybody needs neural implants for the sake of productivity, they'll be ad-supported but moneyed developers will be able to opt out. The terms of the ad-free service will continue shifting, so nothing is ever really ad-free for long, and ads for better neural implants are promotions not ads right? But y'al…
I think this was the plot of a Black Mirror episode?

Except this hasn't happened with electricity, cars, washing machines, smartphones, smart watches, Bluetooth headphones, ... Not all technology is bad
Electricity I don't know how you could deliver ads through, but if someone could think of a way I bet they would. If everyone knew Morris code I bet they would make the lights flicker in Morris code for a discount. Modern cars with connected infotainment systems are always trying to upsell you Washing machines I dont know of anything at the moment, but I wouldnt count it out. Smartphones/watches? Aren't those just ad…
Headphones that inject ads is a great idea but we need to make that a better proposition. Lets say that these headphones have an AI integration which parses all sound and converts it to text, then we can run it through our AI to give helpful comments. We may even wait until no sound is playing to inject them (for now). We can add ads later once it becomes helpful. Imagine you are listening to a podcast / youtube video then you get a helpful voice give additional research and ideas. Like a friendly research agent on your shoulder.

It's not wrong to beg for money, but I'm also not going to joyfully tolerate a hassle because of gratitude or appreciation for past decisions the beggar made without my input.
Tip: Nobody can meaningfully conceptualize or care about the number of minutes. "Ten years" would've been fine, and more convincing.

The existence of a single crappy car does not mean all cars are crappy
Sure. But the existence of a single crappy car establishes very definitively that a crappy car can and does exist. Do you think Samsung's the only company that's gonna play with ads on their smart fridges?

It's not a good reason to be skeptical about cars as a technology (and by analogy brain computer interfaces)

I've never seen an ad delivered through any of these things. On smartphones I mean the phone/OS itself It would be very easy to deliver ads via electricity. The utility could require you watch an ad before using more
That does not sound very easy to me. That sounds barely possible.
