Can’t wait for ads to be grotesquely injected into any video on big streaming sites. If you don’t want reruns of Cheers to have distracting ads for Rings of Power you better spring for Prime Platinum. Even the heroes at uBlock Origin are going to have a hard time filtering out injected ads on some YouTuber’s bedroom wall.

    Inb4 someone writes a program and calls it AdblockAI. It gets trained on the shape of corporate logos and on the fly in-paints those regions of the screen to remove the logos.

    On that same note, how about AR glasses that put black bars over ads and logos you encounter in real life so companies don’t get to subliminally advertise at you.

      Fast forward 100 years, and we’ll be working on anti-ad glasses that counteract the Meta glasses that counteract the anti-ad glasses that counteract the Elon eye implants. 😔

      This was my first and only idea for AR goggles and I think somebody has already made that mock up if you search online that will actually do that
