New from 404 Media: the future of advertising is AI generated ads that are directly personalized to you. We're already basically seeing this with the same AI Ticketmaster ads being tweaked to different sports teams etc. Meta is pushing for this AI personalization

We’re already seeing the collaboration of institutions and individuals being reframed as a fear or season of mass fervor and I really want us to remember they chose this.
