So apparently the fight of women in motorsport is to try not-very-hard, fail miserably, then give up and say men are just better?

You're going to have to spend most of that money fighting for water and oil in the desolate wastes, though.

Yup.

Algorithms are very easily exploitable once you figure it out. Any public AI experiment ends up with this no matter what.

All the major tech companies have really dumb gimmicks that I wouldn't even call AIs that can barely do anything actually useful. Companies like to oversell this poo poo cause it makes investors think they've got a good stock. There's some Y2K levels of hysteria over some major yet unproven forthcoming breakthrough in these technologies that will never materialise.

The only time I see ads now is watching YouTube on Chromecast and it's just for more loving Google products lmbo. Pretty sure they just want me to buy into their ecosystem so they can datamine me and actually throw real ads at me.

They're far too busy trying to increase the click rate of ads by 0.1% to worry about silly stuff that won't make them any money.

Does google even give out their CTRs anymore? I would've thought they're in such a dominate position they could just say "take it or leave it" without demonstrating any real value.

Yes but...* don’t ever read the last tommy and tuppence novel or the last few Hercule Poirot and miss Marple novels, watch the TV shows instead. In the books she slowly ages them, and at the end coupled with her dementia writing it’s cripplingly depressing. No one, apart from Christie as it turns out, wants to see miss Marple alone in the dark and frightened that she might have broken her hips after a fall.

If you want the Marple you see on TV then what you want are the Miss Silver Novels. https://www.goodreads.com/series/43096-miss-silver If you want a really cool American Miss Marple meets James Bond series then read Mrs Polifax. https://www.goodreads.com/series/51239-mrs-pollifax
