Who would opt in to this? No matter how well the company tries to police this, there will be AI generated slop of artists singing terrible lyrics that they would never do in real life. Does is matter that the company can issue take down request after the fact when your new hit single "Adolf's Solution" featuring your likeness adorned with a silly mustache has already gone viral? Maybe that's on the nose enough for an LLM to shut down, but there are plenty of other terrible things that can be made with this and 4chan will try to make them all.

Oh Chinese top tier EVs are great at point of sale.

Problems don't start showing until several months down the line for most things being promised. And the problems that cause people to really not like them back in PRC and only buy them at massive discount vis a vis Tesla, like the infamous lack of galvanic rust protection don't become noticeable until a few years of ownership.

Well beyond what "car reviewers" will review. This is the stuff you go to mechanics and engineers for.

There aren't that many billionaires. The Wikipedia article on them says that there are only a bit above 900 in the U.S. and a little over 3,000 in the entire world. They have a lot of money, but only because other people voluntarily gave it to them because they valued what they were selling. Maybe this isn't the case worldwide and I'm sure there's a warlord or two that managed to export enough wealth from the people to be considered a billionaire, but most of them got there because they built something valuable, perhaps a few because their father did.

I don't entirely blame the problems of the present on previous generations either. They certainly could make life better for the current or next generation, but why should they. Many of them worked hard to get where they were. Many more worked hard and got nowhere. Why should they give up what they earned to spoil someone who lacks the context to even understand how appreciative they should be. They'll be dead in time and their assets will be passed along regardless of whether they hoard them right now.

If you want to blame someone for the world not turning out the way you wanted it to, look no further than the mirror. Why don't you amass the wealth or power to shape the world as you wanted it to look? Why would you expect anyone else to do it for you?

No, those are government jobs. No one in the private sector employs anyone (unskilled or otherwise) any longer than they have to. Unless they're in management of course. I think most managers are hired to waste the time of other managers that are also time vampires so that some engineers and developers can actually get things done.

.. a good thing?

Sorry. Slashdot's coal plant just went off line.

Just relocate Tata's and Amazon's Mumbai headquarters a few hundred meters downwind of the coal plants. Move the families presently affected into the vacated mahogany lined corporate offices.

Gives a whole new meaning to "use it or lose it".

Oh, I missed that, because yesterday I followed the non-paywall link which went to digitimes.com. I guess my comment about multiple sources was partially inaccurate.

I guess multiple sources is better than no sources.

Microsoft counters with Notepad#.

I upgraded from a Pixel 5 to 6 a couple years ago due to the unfixable OTA hardware security bug in the 1-5 models.

Some days I'd like more storage but really I can't see what else a newer device would get me. LineageOS 23 is asking me to upgrade to it; I guess I should after the December patches land.

oh wait, maybe not cool.

Who even uses it? The world has been using editpad since Windows XP. You don't? Wow.

Notice they said absolutely nothing about using it to target keyword ads at you, build profiles about you to target you with ads, and whatever else they're doing with the data to push more bullshit ads on you. The only smart feature is to disable the account and use something else that respects your privacy.
