Thats a meme and its funny. Its literally satirical criticism of governments putting “ai” cameras everywhere.
This is basically the algorithms of the big tech companies but with extra steps. I guess it greatly illustrates how absurd they actually are and how weird it is to just shrug them off.
The best part? Nobody can agree if advertising ala commercials actually works.
Anecdotal, but I’ve boycotted products or stores because of annoying ads in the past. And even clever or entertaining ads eventually get annoying if they are shown too much.
I block most ads these days, so longer contribute to the negative ad returns like I used to, but I am curious about how many others like me are out there.
My spouse is like that; they’re so anti-advertising that they’ll close their mobile games once the ad. appears and re-open the game, just to not watch it.
And they’re definitely the type to stop buying from a company because the ad.s were annoying.
Anyone from Canada in the late 90s/early 00s might remember that Canadian Tire guy. His character was kinda a personified commercial, he was just so enthusiastic about the Canadian Tire product that could help this common problem that it was off putting. Even though those windshield wipers that were one curved piece that would conform to the shape of your windshield looked like exactly what I wanted, I didn’t step foot in a Canadian Tire until years after they got rid of him.
That’s the one kind of advertisement I think is acceptable. “Here’s a product you probably didn’t know existed.” That’s actually informative. Be straight up with me, you have products I might need, tell me what they are and we’re done.
The ones that are sneakily trying to make it so I trust a brand with music and high production values are the ones that are disturbing to me. I feel like most companies make both shit products and some good products too. These corporations are massive so it’s not like it’s just one extremely qualified team of people making all of their products. Different divisions different quality of products, so the brand is meaningless. But somehow branding is the big focus of marketing now and it’s all a meaningless waste of time.
Yeah, those ads that feel meaningful but really aren’t.
Though the worst ones are the ones that use emotional manipulation, like making parents think a new minivan or a can of ground coffee will bring their family back together. I think the “play cool music with extreme visuals to make teenagers think we’re cool” also qualifies for emotional manipulation, though it feels a bit less sinister. But the more I think about it, the less I feel like it is more sinister, since they are all preying on complex desires that they imply they will help with but can’t really deliver on.
“Nobody can agree”?
Is this kind of like how nobody can agree on whether we landed on the moon or whether climate change is real?
My thoughts too. It definitely works. That’s why I despise advertising and block all attempts at it. Don’t tell me what to think, assholes.
Yeah it’s really bizarre how we just accept that there’s this massive industry dedicated solely to emotionally manipulating people into buying shit. If it wasn’t reality and we just saw it portrayed in a sci-fi movie, we’d think “this movie is dumb, why would people ever put up with that kind of bullshit existing?”
Right? Now we have people claiming you have a moral obligation to watch ads because they support X or Y. Bizarre is a good word.
Same landlord: follow me on my socials to know more about how your average poop size and weight compares to your neighbours.
I could DESTROY that competition.
Dude you don’t know who you’re up against!!
Poor landlord must go through so many toilet cameras because of you two … the suffering might even make him appear human!
Who uses a poop knife? You’ll be surprised.

Guys, its a joke, a meme. Some guy makes these fake notices like the woman who sweats on your couch, maggots appear and you are supposed to eat them to heal yourself.
amazon spent a lot of money on trying to do this and then found out the technology doesn’t exist and outsourced it to india
But that’s not a bowl. It’s more like a box. No, it’s ok. I’ll get on the call at 10pm.
No, facial recognition works (unfortunately), it’s just not good enough to look at an entire shopping cart and know what’s in it lol
Some companies do outsource their “AI” to India, but automated checkout tech is actually good enough to be used in production now. A plain white background with separated fruits like this is exactly the environment where it works best.
automated checkout tech is actually good enough to be used in production now
not really.
amazon’s just walk out is the leader in this area, and it came out recently that the bulk of transactions, 7 in 10, are offloaded for manual review in india
amazon of course denied the claim, but so in vague corporate speak, and failed to provide figures to counter the 7-in-10. they also did confirm that they’re scaling back just walk out. i don’t think those things would be the case if this technology worked as they were hoping.
That was for automated checkout. Video people counters have been around for years. I’ve worked for companies that used them to count customers by department.
this isn’t counting people. this is working out which item or items people pick up from a shelf and decide to keep, if any. that isn’t just similar to the automated checkout problem: it’s the same exact problem. if anything, this iteration of it is more challenging because a blueberry is a fair amount smaller than a tin of beans.
If lemmites didn’t have the social skills of a mosquito at a funeral they might be able to pick up on the INCREDIBLY subtle joke here.
Fake - if this was real there would be a category ‘most times pooped in the box’.
Dave, if you aren’t in the top ten next month I will raise your rent.
I bet Omar isn’t even trying. He could easily eat another 27 plums no problem.
Yeah I’ve been disappointed with Omar’s performance this year, he’s gotta pump up those plum numbers
Wow, I absolutely detest people like this. How sad and pathetic does your life have to be to be doing something like this. Why can’t people just be normal???! Imagine if everyone went around spreading misinformation like that guy. Plums are not berries, people! Don’t let big berry claim this juicy deliciousness as their own!!!
Strawberries aren’t berries either.
At what point do we say that science is wrong about berries
You can’t look at me with a straight face and say a banana is a berry.
Look at the whole fruit bundle before they break it apart for shipping. You can’t tell me it’s NOT a berry.
Just gotta accept that we have Berry[culinary] and Berry[botanical] and these variants are unstated and must be inferred from context.
Speaking of juicy imagine the shits you would have after eating 27 fucking plums
Omar would know that
World’s most regular Omar
27 plums a month will not have a noticeable effect on your bowel movements.
Fuckin freak behavior, what a fuckin creep
Ya, not a little creepy or weird. Sure thing
Weak strawberry game
This landlord is ready for harvest…
Not sure if I should be concerned or impressed.
I see someone has created a scoreboard.
