Meta expects 1 Billion in fines for clear SPAM ads, but these ads generate 7 Billion in revenue each year.
Meta “allows” 135M (with M) to be taken down, to not impact revenue.
96% of SPAM reports are ignored.
The EU needs to kick this company out.

My “I’m getting too entitled” warning sign is seriously disliking light sparkling water.
I mean why would anyone order that let alone drink… never mind. I’m getting too entitled.

Stop forcing assumed preferences. Let me edit my profile in the algorithm. I promise I know myself better than your model does. I like 80’s music. I just don’t want it pushed on me. Too many personalization systems decide for you. Give me a choice to weigh your decisions.

The Oatmeal with a fantastic cartoon essay on why AI art is soulless slop.
"Someone once told me that art is like emotional nutrition. …Consuming AI art is like eating styrofoam. It wasn't made with all the pain and joy that goes into actual creation.”

Why do companies keep shooting themselves in the foot by showing lower prices than they have available?
Take this example from a hotel room that has the word “from” carrying a lot of weight.
The actual price: 158.21.

Adobe once wallpapered a conference centre with the names of their products, randomly highlighting the word "experience". Not a great choice when some of your products do analytics, and when the wallpaper cuts off in the middle of words.
