Ahh, ok. Thanks. Was focusing on the body/paragraph of the text.

I get the meme, but I don’t know how to apply it to this post.

Could someone elaborate?

From the article…

But while many think that YouTube’s system isn’t great, Trendacosta also said that she “can’t think of a way to build the match technology” to improve it, because “machines cannot tell context.” Perhaps if YouTube’s matching technology triggered a human review each time, “that might be tenable,” but “they would have to hire so many more people to do it.”

That’s what it comes down to, right there.

Google needs to spend money on people, and not just rely on the AI automation, because it’s obviously getting things wrong, its not judging context correctly.

What I want to know is why when I’m talking to my wife in the car about buying new shoes do I get a YouTube ad that evening about new shoes, when I never got that kind of ad before.

Are our phones listening to us while we talk in the car, and then ads are generated from that?

I’d really like to know the answer to that question.

Edit: fixed typo, shoes, not shows.

A couple of points.

We didn’t need online access back then, we had LAN parties.

Most of the time you didn’t need updates, because back then they were much more diligent about making sure a game released without bugs. Yes a few existed, but much less than what you see in today’s games. A showstopper bug was death for sales, since it couldn’t be fixed inexpensively.

And those instruction books, especially if you are into the artistry that they put into them, is sorely missed, truly.
