Literal nightmare fuel
Who the fuck are they getting your face?
DirecTV’s screensavers will let a user create an AI avatar of themself by scanning a QR code on the screensaver
You are expected to volunteer your face. And interact with the ads. Because you are getting this device to watch ads. Apparently.
Bojack Horseman would look great as my face then.
Challenge accepted!
Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive 😜.
Penis-face sure looks like he’s having a great time in that cold medicine ad!
Haha you probably think those things in your yard are birds
Makes sence that the birds aren’t working at the moment since the government is shutdown
Well the US gov birds aren’t working
I’m fed up with the streaming services, so I’m getting back to my big pile of DVDs and Blu-Ray discs.
I was randomly reminded of the “BD-Live” thing that I tried long ago. One of the most janky joyless things I had ever seen. Some marketing person had decided to do a marketing thing for movie promos and trailers and had forgotten that the thing was to be visited by actual people.
This sounds like it was cooked up by the same people. Looks like marketing people building a Thing.
I haven’t heard DirecTV mentioned in such a long time, I’m a little surprised it still exists
Death to AI, death to capitalism
Death to allegra geller! Death to existenz!
Long live the new flesh
Man, I need to rewatch that movie…
What movie is this?
Existenz
Humanity could do many great things in this world with AI. Instead we are coming up with innovative new ways to give you ads. Get me out of this timeline.
Now I have to go re watch old Futurama. Perfection.
Hahaha, that’s not dystopian at all, hahahaha.
I have generated videos with me in then and it’s a very weird feeling. Actually getting surprised by then in an ad would be brutally unpleasant. They will never do this.
That being said, they will absolutely put people that reassemble us. So personalized ad with someone that has the same hair color, skin color, height, facial structure and age, wearing about the same kind of clothes we usually do.
I surprised you think they will “never do this”. They will have some study done by an entity closely connected to an AI firm that affirms that “this makes products X amount more likely to sell!”
Whether it is true or not will be irrelevant. They will do it.
Probably run some GSA algorithm to make a version of you that could be a long-lost half-sibling you inexplicably want to fuck
You say that as if it’s a bad thing
reassemble
I’m sure that was autocorrect, but it feels awfully portentous.
nope
I can’t wait for this shit to become so pervasive that I only read paper books.
Paper books and comparable are now prohibited under the konzom act, your daily advertisement quota has been increased until morale improves or your mind breaks, whichever comes first.
Seems like a real can / should problem to me.
Hard to believe this would entice anyone to purchase where a sexy lady couldn’t.
looking pretty gay in that pullover hoodie. thats why you need a bearskin hoodie that makes you look like a real man.
Ok grandpa, turn off the DirectTV and power down your AM radio. Using a technology that old is guaranteed to land you deep in enshittification-land.
I’ve been watching Jellyfin for a while and I have not seen the first ad,
Ah yes, that’s what will get me to engage with ads all they needed to do was put my face in them.
Business majors are so fucking stupid.
Ads are much more likely to be effective on me if they have attractive people in them.
It will engage me to turn it off.
It’s certainly engaged me to never, ever invest in their services. Ever.
Seriously. If I notice the ad, I avoid the product. For example, ads for native and old spice are everywhere on YouTube and super obnoxious so when I need body wash and I hit the store, my fist reaction to seeing those brands is to recall the negative emotions I felt from the last time I had to interact with that brand. So they are spending money to get me to avoid their products.
I was taught none of that during my undergrad. Instead, i say that people who are greedy just happened to get business degrees as a tool to help them be greedy.
This is going to be an absolute nightmare for schizophrenics.
Imagine someone gets back at their ex and puts a dispenser with LSD in it programmed to dispense a bit every like 15 liters poured out of their Samsung Fridge… Which will probably also play adds with your face on it.
