>I find it strange that AI/ML people would avoid "adtech for ethical reasons".
You founded and run an advertising company. Are you taking the piss? Surely you've aware of the ethical issues even if you don't give a fuck about them.
Or are you just saying you categorically expect AI/ML people's interest in the tech and/or money to override the ethics?
>Perhaps we can start from the points I'm making and assess them on their own merits instead?
As far as I can tell, the points you made are:
A) It's strange people make moral choices to stay out of advertising.
B) Advertisement could be more targeted.
B is boring and I don't care.
A isn't really a point with merits to be debated.
I enjoy eating meat. But I don't call it "strange" everytime someone turns out to be vegetarian. I understand why they refrain from eating meat. It's not like I disavow the existence of the question of "should we eat meat?". I just disagree.
