I recently mentioned finding a jacket on eBay and how the re-using of the name over four decades had made the search more difficult.
I did not mention the name of the manufacturer and the jacket style.
But, Facebook has just suggested that I might be interested in the very jacket that is currently marketed under that name.

Facebook thinks I might want to go to Swindon for an evening with Nigel Farage, and it's only thirty quid - or fifty, if I think I'm a VIP.
And people are worried about what 'they' know about us...
Although, the comments below the post do suggest that they have 'targeted' largely the wrong demographic.

Swindon and Nigel Farage, that's a double whammy.
Swindon residents like 'nothing' about town centre

Patrick and Donna Harley take pride of place in their pub
It's become a place of peace for the leader of Dudley Council, a place to get away from the stresses of day-to-day council life.
The Green Man in Swindon forms a place of normality for Councillor Patrick Harley away from the attendant stresses and responsibilities of leading the borough council.

I am receiving a string of emails along the line of "We have a Top AI Tools for Business workshop that could be a useful support for your role at Erewhon, Llareggub, Llamedos & Co. Our Maximizing Business Efficiency with AI Tools workshop has been top rated by our course attendees"
The oddball email address they are coming to and the fact that I work for that fine old firm founded by Samuel Butler, Dylan Thomas & Terry Pratchett indicates that information has been scraped from my Linkedin account. Pity their AI can't pick out dubious information.

Facebook thinks I want to enter a draw for a "Dream Home in Hampshire and a Land Rover".
This may be because I was down there last Thursday.
However, they may have missed that I lived in Hampshire for two years once, with a consequent low opinion of the place - and have a bad experience of Land Rovers.

Facebook now thinks that I should avail of a treatment that will result in me having "luminous skin".
Whilst I acknowledge that this could be handy when venturing off for a nocturnal piss, I wonder about the legality of it when riding a bicycle. there are regulations about the colours that can be shown forwards and backward from any vehicle.

Halfords thinks I want a bike rack, which I don't, as I already have one and that seems sufficient to me.
They do, however, offer some fundamental advice about what you might expect a bike rack to do.
Some rides are better together
Shop bike racks that go where you go
It is true, you don't want them falling off on the journey.

I see we’re AI generating entire ads nowFacebook is suggesting that I avail of this.
It sounds more like it could be a source of problems, rather than a solution for them...

More importantly how long will it take Trump to realise he's talking to an AI Russkiy botnik and not Putin himself?
