A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Aren't they going to realize that something strange is happening? No real person clicks on every single ad.
Part of why complex algorithms fail is their assumptions are baked in. Until we get literal AI deciding what ads to serve, someone would have to notice the unusual behavior in aggregate and explicitly program some heuristic to deal with it.
