What did he expect? That there wouldn't be ads? That's quite naive. If there is space, and money to be made, and they can do it, you can expect it to be done.

I will never get an appliance with internet connectivity. It's stupidly unnecessary and just a vulnerability. I don't want to be like that Vegas casino that got hacked through their thermometer.

Does anyone really believe that Walmart will use this to lower prices overall and that this is only for markdowns. I saw that more than once in the summary from Walmart. Oh, no, it's really all good!

>Microsoft executives believed the approach was not feasible and would violate the spirit, if not the letter, of their agreement

Yeah, you can't get much money for violating what *you* consider the "spirit" of the agreement. It's the LETTTER of the agreement that counts. Lol.

I wouldn't get an Apple. It works until it doesn't. You can do everything right and still have your phone f*d up. I lost my entire backup, *after* backing it up per their directions and verifying it. Talked with Apple Support for over two hours and finally they said (basically) "Sucks to be you!" And since I did the backup to perform a factory reset on the phone, after I did that I lost *everything*.

I'm getting an Android next time I need a phone.

With the next election cycle being 6 YEARS away - that's way too late. Massive data centers with polluting generators, massive noise pollution that literally sickens you, massive increases in electricity and water prices. Way too late. Oh, just vote them out! Yeah right, *after* everything is built.

So it *definitely* looks like it could be replicated within a year.

Pretty sure that given a year, an robust alternate to Bloomberg can be created.

As said, it's the proprietary data feeds that are the real issue.

So, I set my code generation preference for the AI to "very verbose" through prompting it someway.

That way I get more money.

The one that prefers sources in the EU for military contracts.

There is no need to feed a competitor and maybe enemy, which is what the US has become.

Funny how AI comes to the same conclusions as a Jr. Developer would - "Well, let's scrap EVERYTHING and start over!"

>Basically the whole codebase changes, every iteration.

So, basically, you are using it wrong...

>Sure, but that's actually a brilliant solution and we should respect it.

Uh, no. That is a half-assed solution and won't scale.

He should definitely give a speech about how there are terabytes of government files on extraterrestrials, and that people should be demanding to see them instead of the Trump-Epstein files. It would be a distraction, and it might work for a week or so! Unless there are alien files. I'm sure that Trump would release those too, to distract from his pedophile and rape issues.

Yeah, I really doubt the rest of your story when I see this:

>struggling to get by and getting ready to sell their 400k assets - that have depreciated significantly

Just what assets have "depreciated significantly" when the DOW is at an all time high, and real estate, as well? I guess Bitcoin. Lol.

>AI agents don't sit in chairs, and they don't need licences.

Yeah, right. I don't think so. If it is using the software, it is going to need a license. Multiple agents, multiple licenses. It's not hard.
