Unavoidable for some stuff like podcasts where they inject random sponsorship into audio files and throws off all the timestamps. Though maybe wasteful llm adblock compute breaks ad serving compute, they somehow cancel each other out by making all the compute wasted on ads + telemetry defunct.

Circle back to original topic, eventually having local LLMs intercepting EVERYTHING in background to reproject a curated personal bubble filter feels like wasteful but sensible end game. Not just to hide ads / skip sponsors, run every image through anime filter, live editing xyz, if there'es some centralized DB to grab timestamps do it, but otherwise we could be burning tokens none stop to modify reality, and some add manipulation is just rounding error that comes along for the ride. I click a video, background processes play opens 10 instances of the video at 4x speed, processes, gives me version of video without ads, sponsorblocs, xyz content filtered out... or just generate video to conform to my biases because it makes me feel good.
