A better question would be: "Hey Meta, where's all that money gone, and why are you firing so many people?" Or, you know, "Has he alerted the totally not empty table he's wearing smart glasses that are actively recording?". But I think the first one's better.

And just as I was reminded never to go to the "news" roundup on my phone, Google decided to throw this brick at me on the YouTube app. Are we fucking creating fake games FOR INVESTMENT APPS NOW? REALLY? And of course it's AI generated as well...

Ah yes. The idea of another doom spin off that they're so excited for, they forgot to spellcheck.... What's the betting they cropped it that badly to hide more cursed screw ups from just prompting "rip off a doom box art shot with a different title"?

Confirmation.

I know I'm not sleeping right, and my brain is more static than brane-ing right now, but uh... Dell, honey, that's not a laptop. The link even goes to the airpods, so they literally pushed an ad live with the completely wrong text. Fitting, given the company...

Taking a small moment to post about this crud, but everything about this "game" is completely fabricated as per usual, but this time it's worse. So, you've probably been inflicted by the massive push this crap is on right now. That genre placement seems odd, right? It's a game, right? Nooooope.

And speaking of brainless ad producers, here's YouTube pushing a community post to shorts, and showing why having transparency for your text boxes is a stupid idea. This is more on the platform than the account uploading it, of course.

"1,000+ professionals", yet not a one to actually use the thing in person, so they "have" to use GenAI... Also, given the state of the fake room, and the fake dog, the fake vibrating mattress in this fake scenario is in the worst position possible for "a rest." Brainless.

Very ironic that a social media site that's "anti AI spam" is using a follow script to spam people's inboxes as a means of adverting.

"We don't know much about the product, but we found that it's made in Germany-" Uploaded by the literal fucking company, pretending to be an influencer "reporting" on a new trend. No, I'm not "giving it to them" for not using GenAI. Other people have done this fake sponsor shit for years now...

They're posting full length posts in seconds. This is a bot.

How's this for pathetic? An AI Generated INFLUENCER ADVERT? Who needs Twatter bros to highlight the worse of the worse when you've mobile ad companies so broke or lazy to hire even the most brain dead tiktoker? Not a new concept, but this is the first time I've seen it as a sponsored bit style.

Uh huh. It's not like people have literally found the store listing for this exact product- Oh wait...

Unsure of the source myself, but the claim was from this posted to a server I'm in.

There was an attempt. I have failed.

Hero Wars. And these are the tame ones.

Uh...Me? You forgot something... I mean, it doesn't add much, but here's the actual game.

A second shitty mobile game advert has hit the YouTube mobile app. All of these are from the same advert. I don't even know if it's GenAI, or if she's THAT FUCKING TERRIBLE at sponsored ad reads, and just yeeted a shitty dance clip in front to pretend she's playing the game.

Anyway, I see a current trend in mobile trash merchants is nonsensical "lol so random" generations for their campaign into selling a game while saying absolutely nothing true about said game. Note, this one also has others, including a "quick we have to build a base" one-

This is a scammer running a bot to find comments and post a message to direct people to their pinned comment, which is 100% a false GoFundMe or likewise campaign pretending to be a victim in the Palestinian war. I've seen tens of these accounts posting the exact same "family". This is a scam bot.

Reminder that they're spending billions to try and make a movie using GenAI, and shitty mobile game rip off merchants can easily provide examples of why that isn't going to ever happen...

Also, dear lord that link preview is stupid...

Always amusing to hear Tim Sweeney doing everything he can to trash Valve, while demonstrating he has zero clue on what he's actually saying. LLMs generate off of training data, and thus are inherently not "unique", and that you would be spending millions just to generate that pot...

So, 3am, 32C in the room, and this was posted in a news group on Facebook mid afternoon. And it's no even "the hottest day yet". "Well, at least it might fix the potholes!" Kill me.

....Now, it's a bloke, so it's not... *Sigh*

Dear dropshipping scam artists. If you're going to try and pass off a printed image as something else, then show a low angle that gives it away, please stop living on AliExpress.

So, yes, people have been live streaming as a "vertical option" on the site, but that goes also in the live tabs. So... Why is I get the latest Kyle Hill VoD as a 1.5 hour "short".... YouTube. A mystery to all, including the coders.

Think the joke writes itself here...

On the one hand, there's probably a bunch of plugins that already did this, but neat. But on the other, Hell no... Granted, boycott, so I'm unaffected regardless, but *shrugs*

I mean, if the shoe fits... I mean, we can talk about "throwing your heart", how he got his groupies to blame it on him being "neurospicy", or the fact that he thinks there's rape squads in Rural England, and he can kiss my scaled fat arse for that last one. But uh... There's a LOT more than that.
