Yea this is sketchy AF. Not to mention concerning due to its potential implications. Going to be interesting how not only YouTube but other platforms deal with this.
All this will do is piss off creators due to monetization reasons, lead them to complain against YouTube, forcing YouTube to change their monetization process, which will lead to again changing the way videos are made.
And at the end, they will find a way to again shove ads in your face more efficiently.
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
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.
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.
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.
School districts are quick to buy Chromebooks and go “1:1”, but cheap out on IT and cybersecurity.
