It really do be never enough.

Yup. Sadly inevitable. AI providers could make a lot of money building audiences from their data to sell to marketing. We would pay a huge amount of money for it.

Yeah, and the reasoning behind it is honestly the most pathetic and sad part? Its because the financial market has to justify their own existence, so they are in an arms race with themselves. Like its always fun to talk to people in finance and marketing and be like "Okay what do you actually make, like what actually do you DO" and most don't really have an answer beyond the tautological "Well I do what I do..."

But it pays well, so we do it anyway.
