Reddit's business model is stealing content and discussion from other sites and maintaining it on their own. So now he gets millions from Google to scape the content of Reddit to train AI but is upset that the same AI he's training then results in them getting less traffic, so that he can then syphon off the traffic from other sites who actually created the content? Wow.
Funny, right around the time Elon sued the state because they're banning AI fake porn of real people and children.
Their CEO made it very clear in a keynote years ago that services is where they're headed and expected it to be a big growth area. General Motors announced $5.4 billion in revenue from OnStar and Super Cruise in 2025. It's not like they're doing any of this quietly.
The 2021 target for GM’s in-car subscription/services revenue, GM said it could reach up to $25 billion by 2030.
There's nothing "quietly" about it.
I love how everyone in the comments is suddenly a legal expert in addition to an AI expert, while actively hating on AI and the legal field.
Maybe, maybe not. Lots of companies lock in prices with a contract even if they could charge more down the road. Because it let's them know their production volume and investors like the solid locked-in sales. For instance, Western Digital sold its entire hard drive production capacity for the year back in February. They could have seen massively more profits had they not done that, sold them on the open market and enjoyed the huge increase in hard drive prices we've seen in recent months. But knowing they had the deals made, knowing the money was there and promised, was worth more to them. And it means that if other things in the market change, they're generally protected. Additionally, it means having that money now, when they can get greater benefits from it.
Would you rather take $100 right now, or the potential for maybe $80 or $110 in a year?
This all assumes prices won't go any higher than they are now. We don't know that. Prices could continue to rise over the coming months and years and they'll be smart to at least have locked in at this price, rather than paying marketing price. We'll have to see how it plays out but I can't imagine they're doing this with the belief that prices are gonna suddenly drop and they'll be paying higher than market rate. You don't sign a contract to lock in a price is you expect the market rate to decrease.
Look at these numbers. To pay every American $1,000/yr, we'd need 35,000 companies as big and successful as Anthropic to create that $7 trillion a year for Americans. Oh, and they'd all have to be at least 50% government owned. And then the government would have to keep their hands off the money. Keep dreaming.
Most stairwells in large buildings still spiral clockwise.
Wait until you learn abbot MagSafe introduced on Apple laptops back in 2006 and MagSafe charging introduced on the iPhone in 2020.
The average laptop buyer has no need to have an easily repairable laptop. They don't do repairs themselves. They take it to the Apple Store or Best Buy or wherever. So for 99% of buyers of these machines, it's a non-issue.
Funny, OpenAI advocating for 4-day work weeks, while making their own employees work 18 hour days, 7 days a week, including holidays.
Biggest launch doesn't mean much. That doesn't say they sold the most. Could mean they spent the most marketing on it. What we do know is that nearly instantly they were HEAVILY discounting it. That's not a sign of strong sales. This is the fastest any Battlefield game as ever gone on sale.
This means schools can save $100 by going with the lower storage option and they'll still be able to lockdown these machines. Touch ID and Secure Enclave just gives the user options like Apple Pay, and additional protections from an administrator accessing their data. Yes, an administrator could lock it down so they can't access such functionality, but then the user also loses access to such also.
The average user doesn't connect a drive to their machine to backup. The purpose of this machine has gone a mile over your head. These people need nothing more than the free iCloud backup and that's just fine.
It's a limitation of the A18 processor. It supports one port at USB3 speeds. Be real, 99.9% of people using this thing have no need for even a single USB3 port. At no point during their ownership will they need to plug in anything other than the charger to this thing.
