The RIAA vs the AI industry… Can they both lose?
The RIAA vs the AI industry… Can they both lose?
As far as it is, it’s still just under one day at light speed.
I don’t think LLMs are useless, but I do think little SoC boxes running a single application that will vaguely improve your life with loosely defined AI features are useless.
Plenty of free apps get monetized just fine. They just have to offer something people want to use that they can slather ads all over. The AI doo-dads haven’t shown they’re useful. I’m guessing the dedicated hardware strategy got them more upfront funding from stupid venture capital than an app would have, but they still haven’t answered why anybody should buy these. Just postponing the inevitable.
Reviewer opinions on both Humane and Fisker are pretty consistently negative so this isn’t some mean YouTuber with an axe to grind situation.
The products are bad and people shouldn’t waste their hard earned money and time on them. Venture Capital firms may lose money, but that comes with the territory. Not every venture is a win.
It’s a shame this isn’t working out, I was really hoping it would turn out to be a better way of doing self-checkouts.
The little convenience store on my way to work is nice, but I guess it falls apart in a larger store situation.
I’m converting from Firesticks once the new Apple TVs come out. I’m sick of the constant upselling and Amazon’s been putting much more effort into blocking me from using a custom launcher than basic stability and usability.
I did, when I bought the device. And if the manufacturer does a good job, I’ll recommend them to friends and family and likely buy more of their products.
The FOSS community does most of the heavy lifting with security updates anyway. Most of these things are running Linux, so they’ve already helped themselves to that community’s work.
I don’t have a problem with a streaming service doing that. Hardware, no. If I bought it, I own it and the manufacturer can fuck right off.
I have nothing against advertising in general, but I won’t tolerate OS-level advertising and I don’t want ad-subsidized hardware.
It’s really hard for me to feel sorry for any of the parties involved so the ethics feel weird.
I guess the law firm saved the shareholders from being fleeced and they want their cut. It’s obscene, but still a small fraction of what Elon would’ve walked off with.
They’re not, but a little cumbersome to carry around and find power on a heist.
There are loads of little pocket sized battery powered jammers available now.
Yes. Because it still works and hasn’t all been replaced yet.
The burden is on the telcos to prove otherwise and justify all the subsidies they got to wire unprofitable areas.
I don’t really see that happening tho. She barely criticizes Trump as it is. Once she loses, she’ll go back to publicly fellating Trump and saying what a great man he is. I’d love to see her go full Liz Cheney, but she’s far too self-serving for that.
About damn time.
After living through the last few elections, I’m not going to bet on whether Biden vs Haley or Biden vs Trump will lead to a better result. But I really don’t see how helping Haley would actually accomplish anything. Even if the Democrats made a big (wasted) effort to push & campaign for Haley, it’s not going to be nearly enough to make her the nominee.
Absent the Supreme Court declaring Trump ineligible (don’t hold your breath) It’s going to be Biden vs Trump. Prepare for that. Messing with the Republican’s sham primary is a waste of effort and a distraction from more constructive things Democrats could be doing like getting their voters registered and ready to go to the polls in November.
Yes, but the judge is right wing hack and doesn’t care.
Do they mean Democrats would prefer another candidate or Repuplicans would?
That’s probably true for both parties. A large majority of voters didn’t want a Biden/Trump rematch, but here we are.
Most people shouldn’t buy a home printer at all anymore. Unless you’re a crafter or work in a field that still uses lots of paper (i.e. law) they’re not worth it.
It’s a rapidly shrinking market and HP knows there’s no saving it so I guess they’re following the cable company playbook.
Squeeze your remaining customers as hard as possible before the music stops
Most people don’t know how to switch between inputs on their TVs or have gotten rid of their DVD or BluRay players at this point.
They’re using the built in streaming apps or they’ve plugged a Roku in where the cable box used to go.
