That’s some chaotic good shit
No matter how clever you think you are, there is always someone more clever.
I used to think AR was a niche thing for business and kinda dumb for every day use but then I thought: You’d be able to block ads. Graffiti. Garbage. Just filter the world into a cartoon if you want. Now I fucking wish I had some AR device so I can literally live inside a fantasy world, if only visually. So instead of seeing a filthy bum puking his guts out onto the garbage cluttered sidewalk as he leans against a filthy encrusted brick wall, tagged with vile shit I’ll instead see a unicorn projecting a rainbow against the backdrop of a magical grove.
It’s like when they say something is idiot proof, then the universe delivers a bigger idiot.
Dennou Coil IRL
That sounds an awful lot like Pyro from TF2

Technically they didn’t block it enough, you can still read the company name. Advertisers will love it even more because it will circulate social media. I hate this game.
Crazy how we could just pass a law outlawing billboards and ads like this. But we don’t.
There are voter initiatives in so many states, but we don’t use them for anything fun. Just carrying water for Uber to protect it from its employees or finding new ways to oppress minorities.Imagine how different Time Square would be if those billboards showed valuable information instead
Now someone needs to make AR glasses with the sole purpose to detect and blur out ads
More likely that technology will be used to overlay targeted ads
Yeah, but then somebody is going to crack them and make an adblock for real life.
Which most people will not use because they don’t want to void their warranty
I’m not most people then.
This is called “being blind”.
Banner blindness
Those Braille reader screens will start injecting ads.
And these dumb fuck advertisers will advertise something like car insurance on there.
I always get these spam letters in the mail about how I am preapproved for car insurance. Like I don’t even have a drivers license, so their approval process is clearly not very thorough.
“Peril-Sensitive sunglasses”
Then, invariably, they put out a update that just puts in their own ads
Brave browser moment
Adblock+/brave browser glasses
Fuck chrome, Firefox with ublock origin
Agreed, FOSS ftw
Preach it, I’ll always take Foss options if they’re available.
Replace them with the messages from The Live.
- Insert Firefox meme here.
I remember someone got into such a billboard and replaced the ad with IKEA-style instructions on how to replace the ads in those billboards.
Ooh I’ve also seen that, it was surprisingly interesting to watch
Really ? got a link ? I wonder if the instructions work in any country (I assume the billboards are built differently)
Me too, I need to see this, too!
Oh my god that’s Melbourne! I know that bus stop!!
The police are on their way
🚨
lol
I have seen a hot air balloon with a company logo on it…
Suggestions to block that?
rifle?
If that fails, heat seeking missiles
What about a hunting crossbow? They might be easier to get, and are way cooler than a rifle.

Probably the same kind of tool general population would need to take down capitalism itself.
But you won’t see this because your instance censors mine.
Does anyone know the original ad?
why do you want to expose yourself to an ad, fuck that
CONSUME
Think it’s an ad for an ad company
This is my favorite thing that I’ve seen this week.
