GM plans to sell vehicles only to boomers and the Amish.

Movie studies will flip to entirely AI generated content once the tech matures. Why pay expensive actors, crew, equipment, sets, etc.? Human-acted movies will become a novelty. Not sure what the awards will look like at that point.

When DirectTV Now launched, I felt like it was a great service - great lineup combined with solid pricing. They were clearly working on improving the product - one of the last things they did before AT&T bought the product was to launch their DVR functionality - limited functionality and storage, but you could see where they could go with that feature.

Then AT&T bought them, and as far as I can tell, didn't spend any money on further developing the product. Instead, they raised prices several times without adding any value, and then features started falling away. All of a sudden, I couldn't watch certain sports shows on my computer - instead, it had to be watched on a TV. Then they started blocking recording shows - almost randomly it seemed.

With the value decreasing, prices increasing, and a robust market of competitors, I jumped ship.

Having gotten service in countries that don't have incentives like tipping, I am all in on a system that has financial incentives to your server based on direct observable performance.

One thing that will always be true about Slashdot is when I see a post I want to score, I will never, ever, ever have moderator points at that moment.
