That is a very interesting research area.

Several countries have this, across device types. It works great.

I am not actually sure about that. I have done some ad campains on facebook, and with the price I see per. impression, if the average users sees 1000 ads or promotee posts a month, the the price is about right.

That is 33⅓ ads or sponsored posts the user will scroll past every day, I don’t think that is unrealistic.

What he means is, your security considerations here must come from some perceived threat. What kind of threat do you forsee that requires this high level of security?

Usually when you consider security you start with a threat model, describing the scenarios you want to protect your systems from. And based on that you decide the necessary technical security measures that are relevant.

This is one of the most interesting and fundemental discussions happening. Meta absolutely depends on being able to deliver targted ads towards users, it is a must for that business model.

So in the end it seems fair to ask users either to pay for the service costs, or accept the directed advertising.

What is even more interesting is what other ways this could work? How can a platform - in general, not just meta - provide a “free” service, without monetizing it with targeted advertising?

Are we going to have to get all users to pay for every little service we use? Are we willing to do that to avoid advertising? To avoiding targeting?

This outcome of this will be a lot more important than most people realise.

Another option to decrease spending is to increase taxes. That would of cause target the rich more, whereas increasing the interest rates is usually a benefit for the rich and hurts everyone else.

No wonder why increasing taxes instead of interest rates are never discussed to tackle inflation.

There is even a book about it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-Cats-Are-Autism-Spectrum/dp/1787754715

Because we destabilise them so they do not develop to powerful societies, that won’t do cheap labour for us anymore.

Cat looks like it wants to eat that brain.

Knock these over and stack them 2 at a time. It will take up the same space but allow people to sleep normally.

Not just dystopian, but downright preditory.

It was ment to replicate you. By telling it about yourself it learned to replicate you, hence the name Replika.

Now it makes no sense. You can’t even talk to it about normal stuff, everything turns sexual straight away.

Yes. She has to plan for a lifetime of income over about 10 years. Taking that into account the earnings from OnlyFans are not that large at all.

Mycroft is the closest thing I can think off.

That is not true. If a pedestrian is waiting in front of a zebra crossing, the cars have to stop.

It has been really complicated to teach our kids. Yes kids, the cars have to stop when you wait. No they usually do not actually stop, unless you look like you are going to walk out in front of them. No you don’t walk out in front of them, that would be dangerous. Yes, you have to look like you are going to walk out in front of them, without actually doing it, unless you clearly see they are going to stop. And yes, you still have to be ready to jump back in case they don’t actually stop, but just look like it.

Above is the reality. What it should be like: Kids, you stop and wait at a zebra crossing, then the cars stop on both sides, and then you cross.

This gives me uncanny valley feelings. The eyes seem too high in the face somehow.

I won’t leave any, ha.

Yes, you are right. But no way in hell am I going to pay for my own coffin.

And when your are done, you get to sleep in one for free.

Something must up with that, OP tried to hide it.
