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.
No, there’s an offhand mention or two, but nothing impactful. The most important tie is Pike being aware of his fate, but they recap that pretty thoroughly.
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.
This toggle allows you to opt out of having profiling used for future decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.
The what now?
This sounds strangely ominous.
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.
Oh, are these legislators planning to pass laws cracking down in wage theft, safety violations and guaranteeing a living wage with basic healthcare and retirement benefits?
No?
Then they can fuck off.
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 will always root for Trek to succeed. I’m hoping that by including Rachel Garrett, this isn’t too timey-wimey and we get a well written TUC-TNG lost era story.
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.
He’s also been regularly compromised by sketchy backdoors placed by the manufacturer in his firmware and remote code execution exploits.
But to be fair, anybody on the bridge who knows how to work the consoles could kill everyone aboard if they wanted.
I try to disregard his foolishness and think about all the hard working, and intelligent people that actually did the work and made this possible in spite of the spoiled manchild who insists on putting his stupid name a the top of the page.
I too prefer spending less money for a better experience.
Democratic Gov Tim Walz, who vetoed a bill last year that would have boosted pay for Uber and Lyft drivers, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he was concerned because so many depend on those services, including disabled people.
I get the sentiment, but relying on private for-profit companies to provide basic transportation services in a city is stupid. That’s how Minneapolis got in this situation.
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.
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.
