What I am really waiting for is ads on my commit messages.

Anyone made a LLM model that parses such text and removes ads? Ad blocking is getting more interesting.

A more surprising title would be “Google announces search results will be included in AI Mode ads”

What I'm most worried about is the fact that these types of ads can't be blocked. Kind of like undisclosed sponsored product placements mentioned in an article or movie.

I'm kind of worried that the AI offered to consumers will behave as a very savvy and manipulative shill or salesperson.

I use an adblocker and DDG. I sometimes use !g to search Google.

I wonder if people will run local models to filter the content they consume. On one hand I would hate to read slop output. I also dislike censorship. But on the other hand, I think that the information we decide to ingest is important and it's something we should have control over. The problem is you can't really decide what information to ingest until we've looked at it, after which point we've ingested it.

I digress. Thoughts?

Allowing synthetic content to grow without limits will force the creation of a "synternet," an only-generative content network that can be accessed but will guarantee the classic internet to be human-focused, otherwise, internet data will lose value and the human incentive to surf will be lost

Perfect. Ublock origin will block it on my end and the rest of the sheep will help keep it free with ads.

Kagi is great.

And there it is, the vaccum of AI consuming your data everywhere, used to train their models all goes back to... ads.

Same things with OpenAI. Ads.

I feel like we're right back in the early 2000's Internet again at least they aren't popups, we hope.

But with these models being embedded into, literally everything, will your screen on your car start showing you ads before you can turn the AC on?

It's coming

Ah, well that was my first guess as to how they'd make money.
