It’s an interesting idea.

I asked Chat GPT to list everything it knows about me and I’m not sure even my mum knows more!

That deep data on millions of people could make advertising genuinely useful for users as well as the advertisers.

Couldn't love this quote any more:

“Between the stimulus and the response there is a space”.

The quote is by Viktor Frankl, a Holocaust survivor, author, neurologist, and the founder of logotherapy, a form of psychotherapy centred on finding meaning in life.

I feel you! I bought a Kobo reader, which is like a big screen Kindle, and save articles using Pocket. Less glare, big screen, and clear formatting. Game changer! :-)
