So if I play an NPR radio station during the AM and a FOX station during the PM to an Echo, what kind of therapy ads would start to show up customized for me on the Washington Post site?
This is local to me and I don’t see how this is new:

As well as early performance issues:

Sometimes I can see the steam rising from the cooling towers from my back deck in Cobb though I’m not sure which site it is.
If your junk actually hangs out you can probably make more money on OnlyFans.
No, that’s not Douglas Rain but someone poorly imitating DECtalk probably inspired by War Games.
A version of DECtalk is what Stephen Hawking initially used to “speak”.
I’ll eat more beans for better AI.
Organic beans so it’s more natural.
Does that help?
Could Google-fication be repeated enshitification googol times?
Or Hedley Lamarr, because Blazing Saddles is about institutional racism obscured as a comedy that I suspect would offer some insight here.

Is this a post from an AI bot about a poorly written AI post?
Is this AI masturbation?
I suppose the question really is: who made money on this?
DEC in the early to mid 1980s.

How is this not a Ponzi?
After living in central California for 60+ years, I can see the now century old fantasy of a wet California coming to an end. Replacing most farms of plants and cattle with PV panels to make the state’s major export electricity should be the next plan.
"DECUS was founded in March 1961 by Edward Fredkin."

Having my first computer hands on experience in college with a VAX-11/730, DECUS was my way to connect with the VMS Engineering team directly. DEC at least tried to listen, and often would. COMPAQ & HP / HPE turned it into a private CES, which failed much like it did. With HPE, until this year, it was three days of sales pitches in Las Vegas.
And although HPE announced that it killed OpenVMS, it's being ported to X86 by VSI:

For VAX/VMS, the current O/S developer provides support and is porting to X86: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vmssoftware.com%2Fse...
Will Durant's Story of Civization, Ceaser and Christ (or how to die and influence the western world for millennia) , although The Age of Voltaire ("The incarnation of the Enlightenment") is good too. Mostly for his style for telling a story. Code tells a story, and if it looks like every keystroke resulted in an electric shock, it isn't maintainable (readable) and probably doesn't work well. Durant's eleven volumes in a summer can be hard, but reading a few pages every day at work so when your boss asks, say "understanding the decay of absolute monarchy is important" (at least from Voltaire).
