New comment by jkuria in "Meta's ads tools started switching out top-performing ads with AI-generated ones"

jkuria — Mon, 29 Dec 2025 20:19:43 +0000

This is really annoying. They force the "Optimize Text Per Person" and it is really hard to turn off. If you accept even one "enhancement" they turn OTPP and there isn't a disable button. And then it spews garbage in some of the ads--copy that is full of non-sequiturs and first and second lines that are complete nonesense. They should be held to account.

Why is there no wildlife? I expected this to be about the Maasai Mara/Serengeti wildebeest crossing :)

New comment by jkuria in "Japanese words and names sound African (2022)"

jkuria — Sun, 16 Jun 2024 19:32:40 +0000

btw, there was once a consular official who worked at the Japanese embassy in Kenya, whose name was Mr. Kuma Moto. Every time he was introduced, it was hard for folks to suppress their laughter as the name literally meant "hot vagina" (in Kiswahili the noun goes first)
