Actually, the "he looked for a couch a week ago, let's show him all the couch ads we have" is still the best strategy in terms of CPI/CPC. And also a pretty cheap one. This is why they are doing it, not because they are

Why do you need a gigabit connectivity on the phone? Aside question: can you tell the difference between 4K and 8K video on the phone without actually checking?

Did you mean "120b"? I am running 20b model locally right now, and it is pretty mediocre. Nothing near Gemini 2.5 Pro, which is my daily driver.

What if you talk to a real person for 45 minutes, still never get those 45 minutes back, and they ghost you anyway? Would you feel better? What if they did not ghost you, but sent you a very polite LLM-generated rejection letter with generi
