I am not buying a second laptop just like the one I just bought. It is not, in an ideal scenario, a consumable item.

Well you might have enjoyed your Laptop so much that you are going to gift a new one to all of your friends
I think it's Nate Bargatzki who talked about how he bought a refrigerator and then Amazon kept recommending refrigerators to him. He said "I already solved that problem, Amazon. Remember? You were there".
Yup. I needed to buy some thumb tacks once and now Amazon thinks I need them all the time….
It's always funny to me when someone talks about how awesome the tech behind recommender-systems is and what complex problems had to be solved to make it work but in the end it's still just absolute garbage.
It's not really that interesting, you find hot spots where interest between items is correlated.
yeah similarly to AI right? Also not really interesting, you just do some math and boom: AI!
AI/ML covers a ton of algorithms, some of them are that boring, some of them aren't.
Re above. Take all users who viewed all items. Run a MapReduce to segregate them into pairs. Calculate the frequency of pairs and store the result. That clear enough for you?
Reducing the computational cost is what makes it complex... but why am I even discussing this here anyway, I was mocking the topic in the first place. Your disregard of the problems in the details is kinda amusing though, because that's probably the reason most recommender engines are as crap as they are.
Well, there's problems that are complex at the center, and there's problems that aren't. This one isn't.
It more so pisses me off when I buy a really expensive item and Amazon is trying to sell me a second one.
Like ya, maybe I'll consider getting another pack of pens, but I think I'm good on the GPU.

It's mad!
I bought a laptop, from Amazon, something I do at most every 2-3 years.
For months since Amazon has been spamming me with laptop offers. I don't see what the best case scenario here is, I return the one I bought and get a new one?
Let's be honest though... there's been a time in your life that you've gone into a public restroom and wished that you had your own toilet seat with you.
Nah. A travel bidet, though, must have.

Whenever I would buy rabbit food for a rabbit I was taking care of I would always get ads for chinchilla food and food for other small mammals. Like, I'm not out here collecting animals I just got the one.
