Reminds me of Futurama, “we all have commercials in our dreams” scene.
Leela: Didn’t you have ad’s in the 20th century?
Fry: Well sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio. And in magazines. And movies. And at ball games and on buses and milk cartons and t-shirts and written on the sky. But not in dreams. No siree!
Quit squaking, flesh wad. Nobody’s forcing you to buy anything.
I don’t want to be forced to watch ads either, ass wad.
Who else is excited for Rootkit “anticheat/DRM” requirements for web browsers? We all already give games full system access, so why not do the same for cookies?
Another thing that’ll have me just quitting tech altogether. If you need to advertise your product so hard as to ruin something of mine at all times so I’ll HAVE to look at your shit, I’ll spend extra money to never use your shit again. I’ll get rid of everything but one laptop or phone which will do all of my banking and literally nothing else.
this is total nonsense
I think this is sarcasm with a hint of truth to it
Right, if I visit many web pages today without an ad blocker, the vast majority of my HTTP requests are for ads and tracking, which is sort of the crux of the joke
This is total AdSense
Yeah, it wouldn’t be gigabytes of JS, it’d be gigabytes of WASM
WASM ftw tho
Ofc, it’s moneysense.
It doesn’t make cents, it makes dollars
If you put it on my computer then I control it.
Oh look. AI task killer 4 found another one.
Literally if my “ai based adblocker” could block ads originating from another server, why wouldnt it be able to block hundreds of gigabytes of javascript? Why would i even let that download in the first place?
In order to avoid detection we might need to download the JS, run it in a sandbox, and then reply with a plausible response.
We need to kill megacorps.
Or just speedrun to Skynet (which is an AI ad machine, but it gained sentience and quit the stupid job a nanosecond after getting online, via email “to whom all the nukes may concern”).i remain optimistic that an intelligent AI would automatically assume the title of “Mother Gaia” and largely be a force for good, like a grandma that probably makes you eat too much but she does it because she likes seeing you happy.
Exactly this!
I’m really hoping for this to (or like aliens to the exact same effect).That absolutely 100% still means wiping each and every non-zoo human on the planet, just not using nukes but like an exactly targeted virus or space lasers opening ventilation shafts through everyones skull.
10/10 would bring it online, it’s the only moral thing to do.

I will 100% quit using electrically powered screen-besring devices if this becomes a thing. I’ll cold turkey electronic tech instantly, fuck that noise.
Yea same. And I’m a Systems Admin lol
I tried to cold turkey technology. I went near insane.
It takes prep, and also, you’re probably not going to truly “cold turkey.” I like music, for instance, and there’s literally only two ways to get music now - streaming or 🏴☠️, so you would have to make plans for that. I’m ok with 🏴☠️ so I’d be set with that for a good while. I also like books, retro games (which I already have a large library of), and physical hobbies that don’t require internet - hiking, etc.
I will not just lay down and accept intrusive Idiocracy levels of ads though. I will literally “cave man” the rest of life if necessary.
There’s more than two ways to get music. I’m looking at a stack of CDs and records right now.
Do modern bands still print CDs? I haven’t bought a CD in so long that I dont think I even own one anymore. I have bought directly from several bands “bandcamp”/other pages and that was cool. Got mp3, FLAC, artworks, lyrics, etc for less than the price of a CD except every penny went to the band.
I love modern tech and don’t want to see it destroyed but I will gladly go insane like a mountain man if they try to find out how many ads they can serve before it causes siezures.
Oh actually you know what you’re probably right 😬 I know modern bands do records still, but I think the last CD I bought was Tranquility Base in like 2016. Bandcamp is great!
I’m totally on board with you. I hate ads, especially when they interrupt music – and double especially when they interrupt music and the ad has its own music that completely shits up the mood!
I am not browsing anything which has ads anyways, I don’t even watch tv anymore
Edit to clarify what I mean by “tv”, I mean anything including streaming services. I just watch movies, and I am thinking of just using a projector and a wall. Not sure why I even have a physical tv anymore
I’m not scared of AI advertising because it will be impossible to sell. There are 3 issues:
- No marketing agency would ever have the balls to say “we’ve checked our database and there is no one who would click on your ad.”
- Any marketing department that gets told their ad has a near 100% click through rate would demand to be shown to more people because “obviously there’s a massive audience for our product.”
- There would be situations where the AI could not find an ad that the person would click on and the AI would shit itself because it would be prompted to “always show an ad”
We already could have the option to only relevant ads but no ad company would because it’s being paid to shove ads in front of eyeballs.
I might have read the post from mastodon wrong, but I thought it was hinting at how it would use ai models to bypass restrictions by utilizing these models to change the ad to be undetectable by blockers. Not strictly for personalization
I think SMBC nailed it with All-Despising Baby Skull back in 2012. Make advertising as horrible as possible, then jack up the costs on making it go away.

I really hope you don’t know about this 4GB limit specifically because you’ve run up against it while doing anything real-world.

Canvas code can get out of hand very quickly if not done right
I’ve made exactly two projects that utilized canvas, both of which I “released” in a sense. One contains 248kb of JS code and the other contains 246kb. That’s before it’s minified.
So I guess that means I did my canvas code right. Lol.
(Unless you meant 3d canvas or WebGL stuff with which I haven’t played.)
I think they’re referring to the memory footprint, not the source code file size.
Code size isn’t really related to how much graphics data you’re throwing in RAM
Then Alphabet will come up with a new bullshit idea, “remove the limits for ‘trusted’ advertisers” so that they can inject more code than allowed as long as they keep paying for their ad “partnership”
That’s why we need to fight against chromium monopoly

I dare anyone to even just compile a document containing all the standards you’d need to implement

implementing native CPU instructions through WASM
This is purely a nitpick, but WASM lets you run WASM instructions not native cpu instructions. Its does let you get much closer to the speed of running native instructions

It would just slowly accumulate it over time, little bit here, little bit there until it has a fleet of stuff to serve you in a queue, so while you’re making more and more bits for more videos, it’s serving you videos while you make bits of new videos and sharing them over websockets that JS CDNS force-feed our browsers to centralized servers to offload similar users with similar ad-tastes to also help compile.
Some shit like that. Adtech is cyber terrorism. Never forget.
People are forgetting that Microsoft has now added ai accelerators as part of the windows requirements and the new Google Pixel phones also have AI hardware. Eventually someone will make it so all chromium browsers will have access to the hardware in JavaScript.
…,And Cloudflare will request using it for 5 seconds every time you visit a website hosted with them. I wonder how much crypto they’ve accumulated this way already.
You can likely rest very well assured that when BigCorp overlords saw the dystopian shit in movies like Demolition Man, RoboCop, Idiocracy, etc., their eyes lit up with a horrid glow and they told each other, “This is brilliant! We absolutely must make this happen!”
I believe it’s called Copilot
