I’m just picturing a scenario where the fridge won’t open its door unless you finish watching an AI generated, very low quality, scammy ad. Looking at you, YouTube…
By that point, they'll have passed an enhanced DMCA law that makes it a crime to tamper with or modify corporate property... see, you can only "license" the object but never own it.
We need to create a type of business type for ad businesses. We have S-Corps, C-Corps, etc. We need an Ad-Corp. And the rule should be if your business sells any ads at all your business gets automatically converted to an ad-corp and you get taxed on revenue.
“The door refused to open. It said, “Five cents, please.”
He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. “I’ll pay you tomorrow,” he told the door. Again he tried the knob. Again it remained locked tight. “What I pay you,” he informed it, “is in the nature of a gratuity; I don’t have to pay you.”
“I think otherwise,” the door said. “Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt.”
In his desk drawer he found the contract; since signing it he had found it necessary to refer to the document many times. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.
“You discover I’m right,” the door said. It sounded smug.
From the drawer beside the sink Joe Chip got a stainless steel knife; with it he began systematically to unscrew the bolt assembly of his apt’s money-gulping door.
“I’ll sue you,” the door said as the first screw fell out.
Joe Chip said, “I’ve never been sued by a door. But I guess I can live through it.”
I think the nice thing about the modern Internet of things, is that all you have to do is probably wait about 2 or 3 years in the case of the Samsung refrigerator, and the ad software will already be out of support.

Hi!
I'm a full stack software developer with 10+ years of hands-on experience with Ruby on Rails and Javascript. I’ve worked across the spectrum: early startups, high-growth scale ups, and most recently, a large corporate product with a huge Rails monolith and even bigger DB. On the FE side I've worked with a range of libs and frameworks, starting with raw JS a long time ago all the way to Svelte.js more recently.
Have a look at my LI and if you think you're building something where I could help, let me know!

PS: I’d be also very interested in exploring the Go ecosystem, ideally finding a company that uses both Ruby&Go or that'd be willing to bring a pragmatic Rubyist into a Go environment. I’ve always picked up tech quickly and I’m excited to expand my skills.
> The results showed hints that spending by giant data center operators “could tighten at the margins if near-term returns from AI applications remain difficult to quantify,” Emarketer analyst Jacob Bourne said in a note.

As an Indonesian working as a software developer, I can say that integration is more akin to a jargon than something actually planned and properly implemented here in Indonesia. The apps number continue to grow because almost every time the head of an institution changes (on whatever level it is), the new one would be more likely to create a new app from scratch as a form of achievement.
That's a big assumption. Alyssa may very well not spend all her walking time writing code (setting aside the implication that writing code is not "enjoyable" for now).
Feynman was a very successful physicist. A nobel price medalist, among other things. He very famously was also someone who enjoyed a life outside of physics a great deal.
Paul Erdős, on the other hand, did at least outwardly seem to have spent most of his life focused on doing mathematics. And nobody can convince me that he did not enjoy his life as well...
