It's because that is the only thpe of machine learning/ai that C-suites and MBAs can wrap their head around. They keep pushing it because they need to look like they ar doing something at their know-nothing/do-nothing job.

Don't worry, they are still in the web pages too

I live in a small college town in rural ohio. I listen to our local golden oldies radio station in my car because the songs are great, the ads are mostly local businesses, and i get local news from it. Although we also get a lot of Medishare scams, snake oil from supplement companies. But the ads are much better than the radio back when I lived in Houston 10 years ago. Even the Cleveland stations are pretty light on ads these days.

My main gripe with my local station is that the small conglomerate they are in all play Christmas songs at the same time in the winter. I understand the incentive behind synching up ads across your controlled stations, but why do they all insist on playing Christmas carols at the quarter hour across all channels? I fucking hate Christmas carols.

AI just gives executives an excuse to layoff their staff without spooking their investors.

Bumble was my last straw for dating apps a few years back. I paid for a the premium service for a few months, then i started dating a girl so i cancelled it. I even had an email notification and everything saying it was cancelled. Four months later i was still getting charged, and they had zero customer service contact info to try and dispute it. So i called up my bank and disputed the charges, forwarded on the cancellation email, and then got a full refund from the bank.

Fuck dating apps. They profit off the misery and loneliness of people and have every incentive to keep you single and miserable.

I live in an area where half the vehicles on the road are pickup trucks and giant SUV'S. A KIA EV2 isn't doing any added harm to the roads here.

The whole point is to kick black men out of the military

I've got 500Mb fiber internet and YouTube refuses to stream above 360p unless i manually change it. Which each update becomes harder and harder to do as they hide the video quality button somewhere else.
