That way of thinking is a trap. They did have a more reasonably priced ad free tier but people using it only made it worse over time because it got so popular that Youtube could confidently raise prices and slash benefits. And the line has to go up. That‘s the only thing that matters to them.

When did Snowden whistleblow? This isn‘t exactly new tech.

Depriving the internet of an opportunity for good old German bashing. How sinister of you. /s

Would be a shame if people had so sift through AI generated gore before the bots like and comment it. But seriously, good on them.

Going by the reputation of both user bases this must be a match made in heaven. Or should I say hell?

AI companies paying or straight up buying other businesses to spread their disease has become their go-to strategy as of late.

What are people even watching on Disney all day? I assume it’s just a constant stream of cartoons for toddlers?

It‘s all about raising the stock for them lately so I expect viewership to fall further.

If abiding to the law destroys your business then you are a criminal. Simple as.

It most likely would‘ve. Just look how quickly US courts started to turn Monsanto into shreds the very second Bayer bought it. They‘re after that so called stupid German money. Wouldn‘t work if it was American money.

And I see that but a game developer is not the right type of business to develop these kind of extremely intrusive and potentially dangerous accessibility devices. We need much stricter guidelines and oversight for this kind of tech before they essentially become a remote control for parts of our brain.

I know the internet lives the guy but no. Just no.

Meh. There really isn‘t a lot there. The short film mentioned has largely been regarded as a complete flop with no critical acclaim whatsoever. It‘s regarded so bad it’s essentially a meme. A real slop fest.

As for copyright: Using models trained on copyrighted material is more of a gray area than being explicitly allowed. They literally mention the act went active in 2019. That is before the rise of AI. So if anything they‘re just really behind the curve and not so much embracing technology.

This reminds me of the saying that Japan has been in the year 2000 for the past 40 years. Some older folks somehow still think it‘s some futuristic paradise for sci-fi nerds when that hasn‘t been the case for over 20 years.

That‘s their default, though. It’s not the first time they‘re acting up as an unreliable business partner. I mean they bought all those rare earth mines across the globe for a reason and it‘s not to just stick it to the USA. They‘re both bullies.

With all the touch screens and computer controlled door handles I wouldn‘t bet on a Tesla in this showdown.
