Is there a way to poison the well so badly and so irrevocably that corporations won't dare use generative AI for anything? Can we somehow trick these overgrown chatbots to speak ill of their masters in the form of direct-to-stream advertisements?
Ask Musk. He managed to do it on accident.

And canceled my sub
I recently setup my own Jellyfin server with qbittorent search plug-ins and its so easy. Netflix is really playing with fire here cause people will leave when pushed enough as it's becoming so easy to switch. You can just hop on your friends server too

Annnnd goodbye Netflix subscription
I've cancelled my subscriptions to only subscribe to the platforms owned by our national broadcaster even if there's one of them I don't watch any shows on, fuck those American platforms.
The shittyfication goes forward...
I can't tell from the article what the AI side of this is? Are Netflix offering to make adverts for customslrs using AI? Are they just showing adverts in general from customers, including AI generated ones?
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I've read the article twice and still don't know 😂
Eventually they will start making shows based on the user watching the show.
Please see Black Mirror, Series 6, Episode 1, "Joan Is Awful"
I dunno at some point I’m just gonna stop watching tv and find other ways to entertain myself.

Enshittification marches on
Ahhhh, man moving away from corps just keeps on giving (or in this case, doesn’t enshitify while proprietary ones do).
Don't pirate, we're awesome!
Here, watch these ads!
Hey, where are you going?
Jellyfin
I haven't had streamslop subs in years.
Been sailing the seven seas ever since, and I'm watching it all burn from the crow's nest.
