Meta announced on Wednesday that data collected from user interactions with its AI products will soon be used to sell targeted ads across its social media platforms.
The company will update its privacy policy by December 16 to reflect the change, and will notify users in the coming days. The new policy applies globally, except for users in South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, where privacy laws prevent this type of data collection.
Here we go! People are gonna get a taste of their own medicine. Glad I’m cured of that disease.

Y'all hooked yet? Time to start reeling in them sweet profits

The monetization folks at OpenAI and Google have neatly timed their joint appearance on the stage this week: OpenAI is preparing to launch advertising in ChatGPT [..] YouTube Music is testing AI hosts that will interrupt your tunes [..]
When I wrote this, I wondered: why no Meta announcement. But I was early and/or they were late.

Now I get it! I always hear that when you have a 'good' idea, a million other people already had it too. You really thought Zuck was gonna let this one go? Hahaha!

There will come a time that bitcoin will start to crush the malinvestments like those big tech companies.

Apparently 63% of VCs are not thinking these are malinvestments. This worries me.
