  It strikes me that auto-stripping ads after DVRing the shows should be a pretty simple AI problem these days.

    This reminds me that the Alamo Drafthouse used to have a program called “TV at the Alamo” and it was brilliant. It was $5 to reserve a seat, and that $5 went towards food and drink purchases. They would show the previous week’s episode while the current episode was airing, strip out the ads and then project the current week’s episode. I watched Mad Men and Breaking Bad this way.

    Given how ads tend to be louder than the content, you could probably detect it based on the average audio level without any fancy AI

      That's supposed to be illegal now in the US.
