it’s a sign that they aren’t competent at understanding their customers, making plans, or communicating

For me that was self-evident when they rolled out Windows 11.

I never have and never will trust “the cloud”. If someone else is holding your data, it is no longer your data.

“After careful consideration, it was determined there is no path forward to permit these projects in the US for the foreseeable future,” the company said in a statement.

From the article it looks like this wasn’t just a carrot being dangled but also a stick being threatened. My guess is that they foresaw the path to completion would be too fraught under the United States government as it is and they don’t see any point in fighting an unwinnable war when they can just get paid anyhow.

The long and short of it is that Germany and Europe as well as the rest of the world at this point sees no point in investing in America’s future because we have none.

Have you seen any of the games that are available on Android and iOS devices for kids to play? They have been priming children for gambling for many many years. The sounds and visuals they use in the way they introduce prizes and features as rewards for playing mini games and various “mystery box” items they can get. They are virtually identical to any and all gambling apps as well as casino slot machines.

God I hope every single one of these motherfuckers loses their shirt, pants, and every goddamn thing they own.

Visa’s biggest competitor, Mastercard, has also been introducing its own AI-shopping features to its payment network on a smaller scale.

Then you missed this part.

They already have, read the article.

The guy literally wrote an entire manifesto about how much AI is destroying the planet and how much he hates it as well as the people who use it.

I think it’s pretty definitive that he has a no AI policy.

When you copy/paste a piece of code and somebody asks you “Hey this code is pretty awesome how did you write it?”, you usually say “No I didn’t write it, I just grabbed it from a site.”

Vibe coders on the other hand will actively tell you that they wrote it themselves when they actually used an AI. THAT is the difference.

Except that it actually sucks at searches and far too often returns false results.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Fighting a cease and desist takes money. Lots of it. Especially when the company you’re fighting is making billions of dollars on their product. And the guy who created the fork doesn’t have that kind of dough. So he opted to not fight it.

Therefore it is left up to others fight those battles.

Just fucking crash already.

Not to mention that someone’s going to come out with a jailbreak option for every 3D printer within a couple of weeks of this being implemented at a manufacturing scale.

Yeah, but a bunch of extremely rich people made a lot of money.

I will never cast a vote for Gavin Newsom. I don’t give a shit about his stance on AI. His stance on the rich corporations is to gove them what they want which is just Trump lite.

There is also the fact that AI is being shoved into a lot of places where it really is quite useless. Search engines are the most glaring example of this. LLMs aren’t suited for integration into a search engine, and yet every search engine in existence has had one mashed into it and advertised as the greatest thing since sliced bread. And they all universally suck at it.

I haven’t read the article. I’m not going to read the article because I, quite frankly, don’t care about these people and I hope they all fucking crash and burn. But I’m going to take a guess and say that their attitude is something on the order of “We’re making tons of money how can they possibly be the bubble?”

On Tesla’s third-quarter earnings call in October, CFO Vaibhav Taneja said that “the total paid FSD customer base is still small, around 12% of our current fleet.”

Gonna be lower soon. LoL 😂

How is this fool a billionaire? Oh, yeah. Peter Thiel using him as a distraction.

This right here is the answer. There are so many devices you can plug into those things that you don’t really need the crap that they installed natively.
