We broke @PerplexityComet, it's vulnerable to indirect prompt injection! When asked to summarize a webpage, it unsuspectingly 1) Closes all the other tabs 2) Opens random tabs overwhelming the user (watch with Sound ON 🔊)

As an ad tech nerd, this discussion on FILTERING and SELECTING marriage matches reminds me of marketers who struggle when they don’t know the difference between TARGETING and OPTIMIZING. Relax targeting, but optimize outcome Ad tech really does model life

My short take is that people who want to get married, get married. My longer take is: Many of my single friends (mostly the women) have a hard time differentiating between filtering criteria and selection criteria. It's important to SELECT for values / goals / competency, etc.

1/ Over 90% of the use cases identified by the @IABTechLab Task Force are in fact supported by Privacy Sandbox if the ecosystem is willing to evolve towards privacy. Other use cases in the report directly undermine privacy. Read our full response:

Last night leaders from @Yahoo, @dotdashmeredith, @GroupMWorldwide & @IndexExchange shared advice with peers building on Privacy Sandbox. This advice resonated: “Our north ⭐️ is to embrace change” But not all feel this way. We wanted to address some objections we’ve heard here:

Technical protections such as removing cross-site identifiers and protected ad auctions will go a long way to addressing not only users' privacy expectations but also publishers' concerns around data leakage

From AdAge: “There are potential benefits to Privacy Sandbox, said a 2nd publishing executive. The same technology that guards consumer data will keep publishers’ data from slipping into the bid stream"

The Privacy Sandbox is complicated! Check out this deep dive, and note that the Protected Audience API does allow for cross-site frequency capping and that publishers can, indeed, use Prebid and OpenRTB together with the Protected Audiences API. Good times. https://t.co/JYRAxv4Zch

Study found only 51% accuracy using PII for ads targeting, which doesn't seem great to me (never mind the reach or privacy attributes). This is the status quo some in the ecosystem wants to preserve? https://t.co/0zatw1W2qK
