This ensures that people are less likely to receive the same message as their dining companion and creates a more personalized fortune cookie experience. As a result, OpenFortune has decided to utilize ChatGPT for their fortune content. lmao "market research", sure, definitely not "it's the hot new buzzword and maybe lets us fire some people" the idea that every single cookie will have a unique message though means that there is zero chance that anyone will be reviewing them before they go out which is excellent

Shaggar posted:ads during icing were bad enough, but seeing an F150 flying around the boards makes me furious it's extra enraging when you realize that for most sports in the us, the tv deal covers pretty much the entire cost of doing business so all that other crap is just a money printing machine

it's a terrible product and short of the universe trending towards maximum perversity, it will die an ignominious death because you can buy tvs for nearly nothing that don't have those restrictions and the people who can't buy those don't have credit cards, and are worthless to advertisers anyways

since the entire market reach for these ads is "people too poor to afford a television", that ad bar is gonna be a full time payday loan advertisement.

it does feel like a plan hatched by somebody old enough to think of a flatscreen tv as an expensive luxury appliance you can get huge tvs for a couple hundred bucks, or, even better, get a cheap digital projector for less than a hundred and point it at a wall. presto: an 8-foot-wide television

i get that they haven't thought about this beyond pitch product - receive investment, but seriously, their business model is selling ad space targeting people who either cant afford or won't pay for a tv what the gently caress is the value of that market to advertisers?

yeah you can some wild displays on ali for example. but i think you’re all underestimating how many people will just look at this and go “gently caress yea free tv” especially if they manage to partner with free ad-supported streamers etc but i hope it dies infernal machines posted:short of the universe trending towards maximum perversity, now you’ve done it
