ChatGPT with ads? So history homework is going to be, "As JFK said, 'Ask not what your country can do for you, ask your doctor if Ozempic is right for you.'"

Re: advertising in AI:
I'm less concerned about an ad clearly appearing before the output text, than I am about the possibility of distorting info.
Info about sponsors/competitors could be subtly changed in the generated media, influencing the world view of people at scale towards commercial interests.
Essentially this would change advertising from "pay for a banner" into "pay for bias" disseminated en mass.
What happens if most entertainment becomes AI generated with subtle, individualized biases designed to influence each person, step by step, show by show, game by game?
Think The Matrix, but we each get our own, designed just to influence us.
No thanks.

@ajlewis2 @stefano Microsoft's anti-Linux #FUD was probably the #best #marketing and #advertising and #promotion for #Linux.
At the time, if memory serves correctly, Windows XP/2003 were the current OSes then. It wasn't like they were stable or secure. MS poured millions into those ads. 😂
I can appreciate the effort put into this photoshoot to build some pole-dancing humanoid robot security cameras.
This is one of the most interesting deep dives I've ever seen, and this channel's first video ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9VmEzrq6Dg
I am seriously impressed. I would highly recommend subscribing. My OPSEC isn't even that great anymore; if you wanna tell 'em Shoe Bill sent you, you sure can.

It’s strange to watch the world ignore that it’s not just the medium that matters, but the message does too.
And by “the message” I mean both the ideas and the precise language or visuals used to communicate them.
Subtle differences in linguistic execution of the same idea in the same format can have radically opposite effects. The same applies to an image captured from a different angle or in a different style or in a different composition.
And yet it feels like most organizations and most people within them are determined to march on ignoring any consideration of subtlety and craft.

Cool personal announcement: I’m now working with Hachette Book Group, 3rd largest publisher in the world! 📚😍
I’m helping with their email #marketing on their executive marketing strategy team for the next 1.5 months. Got many book lists to curate!
This is a dream come true in many ways, reading is my longest-standing and most consistent hobby. I don’t know who I would be if I wasn’t constantly surrounded by books - definitely not the Mariya before you today.
As a reader, as a writer - getting to see publishing from the inside and help promote products that I fundamentally believe do good in the world is a relief and a blessing. I’m so honored and lucky.
(Don’t worry, my agency is not going anywhere and we are still very much working with other clients!)

Not for the first time, this company has got the best marketing team for their TV commercials. The brief must have been "remind middle-aged Germans about their childhood".
The cinematography is insanely good.

@hiphopheaven I also don't hear anything about how #Loops plans on #marketing itself to #GenZ.
Where's that money coming from?
What platforms will ads run on?
Word of mouth only? To whom? #Fediverse users? #Mastodon users?
I've been in charge of projects that were well funded during my career. I ask real questions because i've gotten real results living in the real world where bullshit doesn't fly, results do.

#Windows11 so far seems like it's the best #marketing tool and product to encourage #people to switch to #Linux or #FreeBSD.
Not only is it great to see new people exploring these OSes, it's awesome to see them #discover #joy in using them.
I stumbled across this gem of an article yesterday about Microsoft's continued "excellent" QA track record. Great marketing indeed. 🤣
