FYI assuming this is genuine, OP is a long-time science fiction writer with a couple novels that take place during or after an AI singularity: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Stross

Reminds me of Futurama, “we all have commercials in our dreams” scene.
Leela: Didn’t you have ad’s in the 20th century?
Fry: Well sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio. And in magazines. And movies. And at ball games and on buses and milk cartons and t-shirts and written on the sky. But not in dreams. No siree!
Quit squaking, flesh wad. Nobody’s forcing you to buy anything.
Dev here. Javascript engines (especially Chromium) have a memory limit (as per
performance.memory.jsHeapSizeLimit), in best case scenarios, 4GB max.LocalStorageandSessionStorage(JS features that would be used to store the neural network weights and training data) have even lower limits. While I fear that locally AI-driven advertisement could happen in a closer future, it’s not currently technically feasible in current Chromium (Chrome, Vivaldi, Edge, Opera, etc) and Gecko (Firefox) implementations.Then Alphabet will come up with a new bullshit idea, “remove the limits for ‘trusted’ advertisers” so that they can inject more code than allowed as long as they keep paying for their ad “partnership”
