That is the question few ask (and fewer try to answer). Even if human authors continue to publish new content, it is increasingly diluted by all the AI generated content out there (which becomes the training data for future versions of the AI models; rinse & repeat). Unless new AI models use a totally different way of obtaining/generating training data, they will never be any smarter than they are right now (and will likely get dumber).

That works fine for receiving; less so for sending. I'm hoping the new feature will have an easy pull-down to select which email address you are sending from without logging out and back in.

>>every time there's a technology that changes how art is made (cameras, digital painting, 3d rendering, even pre-made pigments), there are a group of artists who flip their shit and say that the new technology is going to kill creativity and ruin art as we know it

Except those pigments weren't made by grinding up existing paintings. That's the difference.

Likely they are hiring more engineers to the fix the "vibe coding" mistakes made by managers with AI tools.

Lots of capitalist things operate on a zero-pricing model (ad-based, freemium upsell, etc).

Netflix doesn't want CNN (or any of the cable channels like Discovery) so they will be spun off into their own company if the Netflix deal goes through. Ellison/Paramount could still end up owning CNN even if Netflix wins their bid; they will just have to pay fair price for it instead of getting it thrown in for free with WB/HBO.

>>Why a single location? Do you want one movie theater in town?

A movie theater has a limited number of screens and showings; a streamer does not.

A better analogy would be a video rental store. Would you prefer that each studio had it's own rental outlets and you had to drive around town and have multiple membership cards if you wanted to rent movies from different studios? You can still have competition (Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, mom & pops, etc) but each would have the ability to show content from any studio.

What would you build the heat exchangers out of? Materials that don't corrode (like plastic) tend to not be very good conductors of heat.

Just guessing here, but perhaps the author was OK with having the books be free on Kindle readers but not OK with less proprietary formats that would easily allow them to be placed in open on-line libraries that are frequently gobbled up by AI bots as training data? Of course, there's nothing stopping someone from converting DRM-free AZW3 files to EPUB or PDF themselves but security by obscurity works surprisingly well for lazy people.

So why didn't Microsoft buy up ram while it was cheap too? They should have had a far clearer picture of how AI datacenter build-outs would affect ram prices than Sony since they are deeply connected with OpenAI.

>>Not sure what value I'd put on Discovery, etc., either. Those carriage fees can't be growing, and that $4/mo streamer Roku keeps pitching can't be that big...

Ellison/Trump wants CNN so they can turn it into another right-wing propaganda outlet like Fox News. They've already decided which anchors to get rid of.

A bidding war over legacy media is like Titanic passengers fighting over who gets the last deck chair. Whoever wins will probably lose in the end. They will pay too much, have no money left to actually create new content, raise subscription fees to pay for the debt, lose subscribers as a result. In 5 years or less, what's left will be up for sale again.

They are hell-bend on extracting as much after-sale money as they can by turning features into "services" with monthly subscription fees.
