"But Roku the company is highly motivated to figure out more ways to make more money from more ads on Roku devices."
Ad people are about making your life as shitty as possible right up to the point of you leaving their service, etc. I don't own a Roku and never will.
Don't make today about yourselves. It's not about you.
Today is the moon's moment in the sun.
Twice in the past week I've read scholars who should know better repeat the urban legend that the QWERTY keyboard was designed to slow down typing, and thus, jamming, on early typewriters.
That'd be cool if it were true, but it's not, and the the truth is even cooler. The QWERTY keyboard evolved over time, shaped by two forces: (1) since the early machines were used by telegraph operators, the keys were arranged to avoid common transcription errors; and (2) competing patents of the typewriter slightly arranged the keyboard layout in order to qualify as new (and therefore patentable) designs.

Priceless: Elon Musk is used to sueing everyone who criticize his business practices.
Now he has criticized a Brazilian supreme court justice and called for his resignation, but Brazil then responds by opening an obstruction of justice inquiry into Elon Musk, which could have legal consequences for the billionaire and his social media platform.
All it would take for AI to completely collapse is a ruling in the US saying these companies have to licence the content they used to train these tools.
They simply would never reach a sustainable business model if they had to fairly compensate all the people who wrote, drew, edited, sang or just created the content they use.
Simply being forced to respect attribution and licenses would kill them. Will that ruling ever happen? Maybe not. Should it? I think so.
If you're a psychologist and you work for insurance companies reviewing claims for "medical necessity," I'm going to ask you for two favors:
1. Re-think your life choices.
2. Make sure you're actually qualified to speak to the population you're assessing. If you deny autism testing as unnecessary, I'm going to google you, and if you have no training in autistic adults I am going to tell my client how they can contact your licensing board and report you for practicing outside your scope.

In 2016 Trump pledged to ban abortion & punish anyone who gets one.
His various judicial picks voted to overturn Roe & ban mifepristone.
He's surrounded himself with sworn enemies of reproductive rights.
Whatever he's saying today, know that he will ban abortion given a chance
