advertising is a far more “aligned”business model than many others. it has been vilified for years for no good reason user-minutes-maxxing addiction slop would exist with or without it. Netflix ceo (with subscription pricing only) on record saying “we’re competing with sleep”

Hey @DavidSacks , my one request is that we make it illegal for AI models to offer advertising. And, we need to really examine referral fees as well. The last thing we need is to have algorithms designed to maximize revenue driving LLM output and interactions. They are already recommending brands and we don’t know if they are getting paid for it We need to have learned our lessons from algos in social media. @GovCox @govofco @GovPhilScott @GovStitt @Linda_McMahon
often times when going on Instagram the ads are more immediately high utility than the reels. it’s pretty incredible when you can monetize the user in a way that actually adds value to their life
this opinion is basically a relic of the late 2010s consensus that Facebook is an evil company (which it might be, idk) but that has more to do with them than advertising generally
