Study finds what sponsored content means
As designed.
It’s anyone surprised by this?
You are totally right, nobody is surprised about this. But everybody loves a Snickers, because You’re Not You When You’re Hungry.
Please ask if you want to know more about our daily sponsors.
And Claude too. As I did find out.
Anyone have the actual study and methodology instead of this blog spam?

I cant be bothered reading it, please report back.
I’m so glad I was sitting down when I read this.
TIL AI companies have sponsored answers.
How can I abuse this?
Well no fucking shit Sherlock, they are peddling it like a drug “reality is harsh here’s something to help you escape from it” and gullible people are going in head first.
It’s like when the internet first came about for the general public, and we had to constantly remind people, “Don’t believe everything you read. Nobody has to tell the truth.” I’m still unsure if we learned that lesson, but unlike the internet, AI is additionally and already largely hated by a majority of people.
Not even mildly shocked by this
I can see how you may find this news upsetting, I suggest you talk to your doctor about Lexapro to help you through these times.
Would you like to know more about how Lexapro is already being shipped to your home?
The obvious end goal of the push for LLMs. Centralized control over information that can be used to bend public opinion and trends.
The biggest end goal is scanning everyone’s data that we will only be able to store in the cloud because they bought all the storage and memory. This is useful far beyond advertising.
But yes, skewing public opinion is part 2 of that.
The spy agencies finally got their mind control except this is America so it’s also privatized.
Running everything said or done, online or off, all connected to people and their face and ID, through AI threat detection, to make secret social scores to be used against us I would add. Age checks are to further that purpose, as are the masterbaitorbases of the UK and shitholy red states in the US.
They will then allow the AI to decide on deploying assassin drones on unfavorable people and to run propaganda.
Then blame the droned undesirables’ death on their opponents and scapegoats and drone them. Then steal their assets after, that goes without saying.
Basically automated culling of undesirable people for the most arbitary things, fake law and order appearance, but no free elections, no chance of rebellion or improvements, everyone forced to act happy and suffer whatever is inflicted on them, as our overlords attempt to replace us altogether.
The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.
the closed-source version of the internet.
“What a great observation! Now why don’t we both kick back with a nice relaxing glass of Coke Zero?”
it’s always about power
Always has been. Not so different from giant physical billboards everywhere in the early 20th century
You could say the same things about search engines for the past 6 years.
Sponsored content however would include a lot more clients paying them than what they may label sponsored content.

We need an amplified version of the surprised Pikachu meme for some of these AI news. Literally everyone saw it coming. Especially AI bros who lied through their teeth when they claimed it wouldn‘t.
Literally everyone saw it coming.
Many people aren’t paying attention. Many people are like pathologically gullible.
The average person just… if you’re smart and capable, imagine being drunk. Being drunk all the time. That’s the baseline. Myopic, impatient, emotional.
Maybe if we had better education and less capitalist hellscape people could be a little better.
Oh yeah this is a very nice way to get it across. I know a couple smart people who are always saying shit like “people can’t be that stupid” and I tell them they don’t understand how smart they are. Homie thinks he’s 20% smarter than like 65% of people, its probably more like 200% smarter than 80% of people
