#832Perhaps that's an unpopular take -- but I actually would like it go even further. I don't mind ads in fact good ones I find quite useful. Since you, my dear ChatGiPiTi know so much about me, just show me stuff that reflects what I value. In fact I wouldn't even mind paying for that. The problem now is less that of discovery and more that of curation, so if it helps me find good things (but "good" for my definition of…
Many companies don't have good enough products, so must advertise to get any sales.

Well the last time the US committed genocide of a culture was way before any tech company was founded, while Russia is doing it since 2022 - by their own admission. If we count of course the illegal annexation of territory, one of the most egregious crimes against sovereignty, it's been doing it since the occupation of Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine in 2014, you get the idea. What I don't understand is why you're trying t…
I think you need to research US foreign policy. They are literally trying to do that with Iran. They helped Israel do it to the Palestinians. Not to take away from the Ukraine atrocities but US is just as bad as Russia.
> "not trying to take away from Ukraine atrocities but making an effort to try to take away from Ukraine atrocities"
Right.

Because ads will no longer look like ads. Model bias from the highest bidder, what fun. This is exactly why OAI and Anthropic enjoy spreading FUD about open weight models.
Calling it model bias is as disingenuous as calling newspaper ads media bias.
Can you change a newspaper ad on the fly?

> ads in disguise These are illegal in most jurisdictions. We need to apply the existing laws.
What about influencers promoting products? I don't think there are any flags indicating that it's an ad
Influencers have been successfully sued in Europe due to covert advertising.

You know who else sounds like LLM from time to time? ESL - English as a Second Language. People learn English from books, and get introduced to phrases through reading or interacting with others within the same community. So, it sounds like you're using the LLM argument as a way to diminish their voices as well.
As an ESL, it hurts me to see the atrophy of written English. "Your right!" is just painful.

I think the situation you're in affects what you can reasonably do and hence what can be considered "ethical". You cannot opt out of paying taxes (and buying lunch), but it is possible here for me to avoid funding this war and try to seek better alternatives.
Did you go out of your way to buy a non-Chinese-made phone? You technically have a choice there, but not much of one. About as much of a choice as you have in the search engine business.
Chinese phone-makers and Yandex are behaving pretty differently. China and Russia are also behaving pretty differently.
There's no clear reason why someone couldn't have qualms about one but not the other.

What’s wrong with Yandex? How is it any different from Bing, Google etc?
It happens to be Russian. So people boycott it. You may note that when US goes to war nobody boycott the US.
Plenty of people boycotted (to some extent) the US before that, when it started its trade war(s).

As an ESL person who has spoken English as their main language for two decades now I find this very interesting. The vast majority of my English has been spoken with my wife who used to be a marketing VP or in a professional context. Sometimes people complain about the ways politicians or corporate executives talk and I don't get it and to me it sounds totally normal because that's what I'm used to. Makes you wonder…
As a native English speaker, I worry about picking up LLM-speak simply due to interacting with Claude Code all day.

When I walk around my increasingly billboard-infested hometown. I observe that almost every ad actually nudges me in some way: whether I should switch internet providers, whether my financial strategy is fine, what kind of scam this tabloid newspaper is running, etc... I believe most people are influenced by these constant micro-impressions far more than they realize. My best defense is to build a resentment towards…
> I believe most people are influenced by these constant micro-impressions far more than they realize. Your feelings are fair, but if this were the case then we'd see far more consumers changing their preferred phone/electricity/TV provider on a regular basis, and we could correlate this with (lagged) advertising spend. But there is very little evidence for this. Like, I have a doctorate in psychology, and behaviour…
