ADS

Previously, authorities have said that many were deceived into joining the cartel ranks, often after responding to online ads offering well-paying positions as security guards and other posts.

In March, Omar García Harfuch, Mexico’s security chief, told reporters that online ads from cartels offered salaries of between $200 and $600 a week — well above the $100 to $150 that many Mexicans earn in a week.

“You felt as if it was a joint creation, but that’s been lost. Digital photos can be retouched any which way, so what happens on a shoot becomes an afterthought. And there is also the fact of holding a magazine in your hands without being interrupted by pop-up ads.”

Parent company OpenAI said its selections would be "chosen independently and are not ads".

Early Democratic ads are targeting Republican senators on Social Security.
