Peace of mind is better attained by avoiding advertising implicitly preying on your insecurities, #FOMO, and resonating with your fears over your children to encourage you to buy their product as a way to placate it.https://t.co/sPQxF9TjWw#adnoyancehttps://t.co/y8MrrrablD
Chrysler targeting millennials using tech+minivans you say?Who could have guessed that researching basal body temperature (and by association pregnancy associated circadian rythm function) would net a bunch of ads for mini-vans showing up everywhere.https://t.co/xQtaCQbwqI
Good news Chrysler: brand targeting is "on fleek"!I can't drive.I want to be sterlized.I'm researching family planning & sociological norms involving eugenics + how tech can help groups control their own future.Advertise minivans to me. #adnoyancehttps://t.co/acIL2UDarz
I found out that in many cases of schizophrenia, birth control pill improves chances of getting pregnant (or are otherwise ineffective).As result, when institutionalization was norm, "best practice" = force many to be sterilized. :(No one seems to know this. Not even doctors. https://t.co/j3a3qLglEW
I can only imagine what it must feel like to be: millennial woman interested in starting a family, having PCOS / struggling with fertility, only to get bombarded with ad after ad for minivans specifically using tactics resonating with insecurities.Toxic.https://t.co/2j8bz2E4m5
The failures at advertising to us, not just as failures to sell a product, but at creating a system that preys on our insecurities. This is why I am interested in "the contextual bandit" problem.https://t.co/wByer5hVDZ
I don't have pedigree or language to pass any qualifications to work for Facebook's AI dept even though all I think about some days is how to solve Contextual Bandit problem by localizing inference to speed up quorum based systems.https://t.co/SU2GM9rioJhttps://t.co/gTYcQKl006
