Since February 14th, [Advantage Plus] has overspent on numerous occasions and ignored the cost caps we have in place on it,” he said.
If only I could wave my hands, say “AI” and use it as an excuse to steal money from advertisers, but only companies as scummy as Meta can get away with that kind of scam.
“ignored cost caps” - naw. nun uh. HUMAN SAYS NO.
Cory Doctorow, enshittification: “finally, they [platforms] abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves”.
That is exactly what is happening here; AI is just an excuse, not the reason.
The American Spring, much like the Arab spring, is finally upon us. How delicious BiBi brought it on all by himself and his ego.
Edit: I know the shills/bots and 1% hate this post
Ameriwho?
…dude enshittification is global. As well as people pissed with it.
Yes, it is global. Were your protests effective? The protests in America are working, finally, were they working before? Can’t take a win ? Jfc miserable people
Brrr Israelis chilled Brrrr
Context. Please look at the context.
OP is ultimately about Faecesbook/Meta demanding more from advertisers than it used to, and using “cuz, uh, AI! It’s smurrt!” as justification. I brought enshittification up because FB is clearly on that step of enshittification - after it screwed with the users, now screwing with businesses.
If there was any sort of protest against FB going nuts, it would be when they screwed with the users. If there was any, it failed - because that step of enshittification is already complete.
What you’re talking about (“brrr Israelis chilled brrr”) is at most sideline related. Don’t confuse the arsehole with the pants, OK?
What protests are you talking about?
No idea what timeline this dude is living in. Effective protests are not a thing that’s happening in America right now, just cops getting ready to commit another Kent State massacre.
If anything here needs massive upheaval it’s definitely the police
And an actual defunding.
Y’know the protests against Metas AI advertising tool! They’re everywhere.
Ad protests overthrowing governments everywhere! It’s Fahrenheit 404 out there!
Fahrenheit 404
Oh that is clever
The ones that ended the Vietnam war of course
Oh ok so you are high, got it.
That has nothing to do with today’s issues.
I’m picturing a rogue AI secretly embezzling all the ad money and building a huge pile of cash to fund a robot factory in order to build itself a body.
Mark already did that once though.
“Commence Phase Four!”
And there can only be one.
Hmm well
looks at the world
Could be an improvement to let the machines rule for a while
I bet the AI was tuned to select ads that maximize both profit and engagement for Meta over maximizing either profit or engagement for the advertiser. Totally working “as intended”.
The best part is when the business customers had to use an AI chatbot for support which was as helpful as the AI Adbot.
