Like other companies with streaming businesses, DirecTV is leaning into ads more.

      Paper books and comparable are now prohibited under the konzom act, your daily advertisement quota has been increased until morale improves or your mind breaks, whichever comes first.

    Who in their right mind would think this is a good idea? Are managers so caught up in the “just add AI bro it will make us cool” hype train that no one stops to think “yeah I would never want this in my living room”?

          I replayed BO2 earlier this year because it takes place in 2025. I was shocked at how close its world is to ours.

          If you had told me in like 2013 that, between the Black Ops series and the Modern Warfare series, Black Ops would have the more realistic plot points, I would have called you crazy.

      DirecTV’s screensavers will let a user create an AI avatar of themself by scanning a QR code on the screensaver

      You are expected to volunteer your face. And interact with the ads. Because you are getting this device to watch ads. Apparently.
