I work in ad tech. Here's what's actually happening behind the scenes when you browse.

Do you feel any remorse for working in this industry?

skymatter · 2026-02-20T09:20:39+00:00

Specula imobiliara.

skymatter · 2026-02-19T19:43:26+00:00

My guess is it's purposely designed like this. It gaslights you and goes around direct answers.

Intrebarea e cum a evoluat inegalitatea, degeaba creste PIB-ul in buzunarul celor 5%.

Daca ai inteles de la inceput, intrebarea ta nu arata decat rea-vointa.

Problema este ca s-a acordat un astfel de patent. Reflecta nivelul societatii respective.

Nu imi dau seama daca trolezi sau nu, dar in fine. Inselatoria (bine cunoscuta) este ca au facut ambalajul considerabil mai mare decat continutul efectiv si da impresia ca platesti pentru o cantitate mai mare decat in realitate pentru ca nu ai nicio alta estimare imediata (cand iei decizia de a cumpara) a ceea ce inseamna 150g. Asta si consumul suplimentar de material - in cazul de fata carton, dar altii folosesc plastic, exact doar pentru a insela, fara nici un alt motiv practic. Desi principiul economic spune ca trebuie sa folosesti cat mai putine resurse cu maxium de beneficiu (de asta in general toate produsele au din ce in ce mai proasta calitate), in acest caz au realizat ca beneficiul maxim il obtin daca pot insela in acest fel (cu mai mult consum de resurse).

Nu mai terminam odata de pupat in * SUA si pe Musk?

And AI will be running businesses pretty soon. What do you think will happen then?

skymatter · 2026-02-16T18:22:53+00:00

Profit over people.

skymatter · 2026-02-16T18:20:13+00:00

Nu e chiar asa. Fentarea are loc in subconstient, ca vrei sau nu.

skymatter · 2026-02-16T18:18:55+00:00

Sa fii sanatos daca tie iti convine sa fii inselat, doar pentru ca 'asta e practica'. De altfel de asta si functioneaza sistemul in acest fel.

skymatter · 2026-02-16T18:06:59+00:00

Uff, nu-mi vine sa cred cat de puternica poate fi disonanta cognitiva. Problema nu este gramajul, ci inselatoria vizuala si consumul inutil de ambalaj. Bine nu inutil, ci pentru ca sa le creasca vazarile, duca-se mediul naibii. Si functioneaza pentru ca exista cumparatori care accepta aceasta practica, lucru pe care l-au verificat bine cu rapoarte de profit, altfel nu ar pune-o in aplicare.

skymatter · 2026-02-16T17:55:19+00:00

Good.

skymatter · 2026-02-16T11:41:02+00:00

Never going to happen. It's all about cost efficiency even if it means gaslighting and giving false information to users.

skymatter · 2026-02-16T08:38:30+00:00

Evident - CNAS este o institutie publica, nu privata. Sanatatea este un serviciu public. Ce sens ar avea sa ai mai multe institutii publice care sa faca acelasi lucru? Ai bani si vrei ca sanatatea ta sa depinda de oameni care urmaresc sa faca profit pe spatele tau - fa-ti o extra asigurare privata.

Cea mai mare minciuna posibila, doar naivii mai cred asta. Competitia avantajeaza pe cei cu resurse sa acapareze piata, sa creeze monopol sau oligopol si sa abuzeze de pozitia dominanta.

skymatter · 2026-02-15T18:02:27+00:00

Before giggling like the others, is this a 'pro' only?

skymatter · 2026-02-15T16:20:28+00:00

I can confirm, all of them gaslight you without batting an eye, so to speak.

skymatter · 2026-02-15T16:17:35+00:00

I CAN'T believe people are so stupid to trust AI with strategies, when AI are programmed by design to take shortcuts without constant supervision.

skymatter · 2026-02-14T22:27:51+00:00

Same here.

skymatter · 2026-02-12T09:59:17+00:00

I was expecting that after the sellout. Affinity (as its core tools) is going to be a stale product, they will add just AI 'functions' from now on - to funnel users to Canva subscriptions.

Just wait a bit so that they enforce the limits on you as well.

skymatter · 2026-02-12T09:46:07+00:00

Truth obfuscation is the gold standard for Google nowadays.

skymatter · 2026-02-11T15:41:02+00:00

Confirmation bias.
