Very curious to see the price this launches at.
Over/under 60K?
Yea I don’t think they will either which is a shame it would’ve been interesting to see what they could have done with an open source model combined with the insane resources they have and 3rd party.
Read his quotes and it sounds like he thinks that they can continue with the closed source path, despite of the memo (which I believed had plenty of important points).
You think we’ll see them make a fully open source model?
And make a business without undercutting it’s own money printer in targeted ads. You’re right, jury is still out on how these models will make money.
Yes, it has been fun adding and contributing to the small and bigger communities on here alike. Not to mention that there have been more constructive conversations as well.
I differ with your view in that I’m looking forward to having more people join and seeing these communities grow. As of now, the platform is still pretty niche (which is nice) but the fediverse can be built in a flexible way to give users the power in what they want to see and block.
Now that you pointed it out, I have no clue how people/businesses who rely on twitter can continue to do so with the utter uncertainty the platform runs on daily.
I know they’ve been leaving in droves, but it has been insane how it has been run these past few months.
Looks like accessing twitter accounts directly without an account still requires login. But looks like individual tweets are now accessible without an account.
Who knows honestly, twitter has been a mess to say the least.
While GDPR is possible to enforce (and thrive) while the majority of the world doesn’t, I find it very difficult for its potential AI industry to do the same if the current draft resolution is passed and unchanged.
It’s still to early to tell if the current draft remains the same and is passed in the EU; but if it does, I think many companies will be content with pulling their business from the EU altogether. These regulations can severely limit the data moat that EU based AI companies can have if they want to create their own competitors, already leaving them in a big disadvantage against other companies who are trained in massive amounts of data that the EU may potentially say cannot be accessed.
Btw, I fully lean on the side of the EU with regulated what data AI companies can access and compensation for creatives. Like you said, AI can eat its own tail, which we already see happening with reports of LLMs being trained with other AI generated content.
With generative AI and it’s harmful impacts being the hot topic right now, I can see how the EU regulations are garnering so much attention and support right now. Even if they do pass the regulations, it’s still going to be important that other countries (US, Canada, Japan, South Korea, etc) get on board or I can easily see the EU being left behind in this space. Like you said, some sort of protections by the EU are going to be important.
With that said, I just don’t see how these regulations remain long term if there isn’t buy in from other countries.
No one knows who or what would come out of a power vacuum, but history tells us it’s usually a more hardline and extreme result. With some of the reports coming out of more hawkish elements within the Russian government adding more and more pressure on Putin to take further measures in mind, it can be a major cause for concern.
Just cancelled prime a few days ago and yea it was a pain. I love all the small shady crap like using a grey text box for the “cancel membership” button and the blue one for “resume membership” followed by another page full of reasons why you shouldn’t cancel and double checking to make sure you know your losing the benefits. I swear it might’ve been a total of 4-5 pages.
Side note, more companies need to be held accountable for this as well. There are a lot of streaming services that do the same thing.
Tesla REALLY dropped the ball on the cyber truck. They had the hype (positive or negative) when it was unveiled and could have made a killing by releasing it on time. But allowing Ford and others to release EV pickups may have already doomed it.
Lucky. I am waiting VERY patiently for any of those two to move in to my area.
Megaman without a doubt. Regular and X.
It really is unfortunate all throughout if you live outside any major metro areas. I live in a town where there is only one ISP due to regulations listed in the article.
Monthly fees for internet is unnecessarily high for low (but adequate) speeds. The whole thing is anti-consumer.
This guy is a founder of Reddit right? One seriously has to wonder what the hell happened. The damage control by Reddit so far has been nothing short of shambolic and in large part because of their treatment of its users.
I mean, it’s like he’s never browsed Reddit before.
What really did it for me was Huffman’s quote on how “Reddit users, communities, and discussions are one of the largest data sets that cannot be given away for free” (summarized quote).
The rumored IPO made an entire corporation do a 180 so ruthlessly and clumsily in a way that I have never seen. It’s destroying itself and rightfully so.
Exactly. Reddit itself should be a case study. Lemmy and Kbin offer an opportunity to build something great and learn from what made current Reddit (the good and the terrible) what it is and some things to avoid.
It’ll sell it’s fair share but the delayed launch is going to really hurt it it’s potential sales numbers. In the span of their initial release date and ‘24, ev pickups from Ford, Rivian, and GM have released.
They could have been one of the first and taken the hype
