Probably will charge customers $10 more for that "Assembled in the USA!" line on the box.
Ouch! Yeah, that's really gonna hurt my pocketbook in a world where $10 isn't even enough to get lunch out.
You must be a frequenter of freakishly pauper networking gear.
xAI owner Elon Musk responded by saying that maybe he "should start a competitor to Amazon."
Classic Musk: Underestimating the talent and effort needed to break into a business. It took Amazon nine years to become profitable. At the most his attempt will just be "MAGA Temu" and he'll hide the folly by merging it into a business that is working, like he's already done with other properties he owns.
Protip: Countdowns usually go the other direction.
Maybe parent post was written by AI...
unplanned, unintended
Yeah sure, I bet they are quaking in their boots at an investigation by Trump's FTC. He just had them all over for dinner on the taxpayer's dime. The biggest risk for them is having to buy a gold statue to make this go away.
I remember when an entire Big Mac Extra Value Meal was $4.99
I would think dynamic pricing would be super-obvious to the customer unless they are limiting it to specific price points. Market-based pricing has been a thing for a long time for other products. I already suspect it's used in retail even in my own town when I can go to Wal-Mart on one end of town and find deals different than the one on the other side of town. This just means the end of nation-wide ad campaigns for Mc.D's I guess.
And why isn't that *critical* piece of information contained in the fine summary?
Probably because "Who is waste is it?" doesn't make any sense.
A Palantir spokesperson told Bloomberg the company "is not responsible for the underlying data nor identifying intelligence deficiencies"
That's like a chef saying he's not responsible for poisoning people when he used spoiled food, because he didn't raise the animals or grow the crops. He still made the choice to cook using them with their questionable quality. The diner isn't always able to see all issues before they consume the dish.
The summary says they were testing OLEDs, so you need multiply that price by ten.
Are they rushing these out hoping to lock people into long term commitments
Likely had them all ready at the same time, but are staggering the releases to keep the Google name fresh in the news in relation to AI.
> Seems like they've decided the casual gamer is worth more than the hardcore.
Well if we're talking about a game streaming service, yeah. They're paying a monthly fee for a service they essentially aren't using. Clearly getting paid for less service delivered will be more profitable than getting the same fee for someone using it out the wazoo and being demanding about things like frame rates and latency.
just wait till you see the upcoming Dyson bidet.
Ah, a new strategy. "If you don't support data centers you're Unamerican and clearly a Chinese asset."
I'm arguing against a narrative that uses bigotry and fear for political gain, and you're turning that into me being the racist one? Fascinating.
There will need to be a lot of exceptions/exemptions...
Yeah -- because you can't connect your shiny new AI data center to the grid if there's no hardware to do that.
Interesting the people most in need of this stuff right now, and the most desperate to get their projects up and running fast, also happen to have very deep pockets, too.
Heisenberg may have been here.
