I'm actually somewhat surprised that "smart" TVs and phones don't already have attention-aware ads

Oh Sony is all over it, here's one of the diagrams of their patent.

Gary M. Zalewski is listed as the inventor. He is listed on 99 patents, several of which are related to increasing advertising proliferation and penetration. He's basically a driver of enshittification. My favorite was "System and method for taking control of a system during a commercial break". Can't have the plebs changing channels!

I looked him up on LinkedIn and he looks exactly like you'd imagine. Fuck you, Gary. Fuck you.
