This happens

Internet speeds for ads go through the roof

Trick your ISP that your torrents are ads

Profit

I have noticed that some websites will end up throttling up my CPU a fair amount. One reason I feel like it's essential to run coretemp and have it visible in the taskbar, if my CPU is running so hot it could cook eggs I want to know and do something about it.

Only a matter of time until some company comes up with BlipVerts.

Not likely. Condense the ai payload to less than a gig if you want to avoid notice. Otherwise, a limited bandwidth enforcer will cut it off before it completes

On the plus side, the sheer power consumption of using an LLM to dish out targeted advertisements will be prohibitively expensive. Any agency stupid enough to do this with current technology is gonna go bust.

As for hosting the LLM locally on the viewer's machine... Remember the furore of shady companies burying crypto miners into their software? This is going to be even more wasteful of system resources and is going to result in such a sluggish user experience that the industry will go bankrupt.

this is a mastodon post, part of the same "network" as lemmy instances. Should it not be possible to have this kind of post as an actual post instad of a screenshot?
