There’s a difference between software release windows, and “iOS 19 is going to be a fully conscious AI being named Siri, and will work on all your existing iOS devices, and your phone will be rentable as a second employable being that could earn you passive income or even work your job for you!”
Elon’s lies are a magnitude removed from the simple announcements other companies know.
Elon musk claims a lot of things
Why does anyone let him manipulate stocks like this by reporting on his insane ranting?
You. You are the reason they need to point it out.
Just move on. You think no one cares, but I care infinitely less about your comment on it than I do learning the background of an elected official, especially given the situation in Gaza.
The cats out of the bag on this. It’s enforceable for now to try and ban it, maybe. Because the models are mostly online and intensive.
In 2028 though, when you can train your own model and generate your own local images without burning a server farm? This has to happen for ML to keep growing and catch on.
welp. Then there is infinite fake child porn. Because you cannot police every device and model.
Because of how tech companies have handled this technology, this is not an if scenario. This is guaranteed now.
It is so damning that the entire industry has reacted that way. It’s not that they closed a studio, that cod have been ignored. It’s how brazenly they closed successful studios for being successful while talking out the other side of their mouth to the press.
It feels gross in a much more palpable way. And with everything else going on in tech it feels so wrong coming from one of the biggest companies in earth.
I’m 100% over Xbox. I hope their next console is the worst release since ET on Atari.
Not ignoring the issue and advocating to regulation and breakup of companies that carry this level of power.
Because not buying apple does literally less than nothing to stop them when they are out there potentially purchasing entire movie studios and chipfabricators.
What, you’re never going to watch movies that Apple (later) owns, and avoid using any tech product that an Apple Silicon fab created?
No you aren’t, because how would you know unless you’re obsessively tracking all the subbrands and shell companies.
Okay you’re either missing the point that those platforms extend beyond Apple products, or willfully ignoring that.
Apple has spread its network wide, same as Amazon and Disney.
“jusy don’t buy from them” seriously misunderstands how wide their reach is.
Cool.
How do you like the fact that Apple news on iOS affects headlines for literally everyone due to visibility on iOS, and thus will still affect you.
Or that their ownership of AppleTV and now Apple+ puts them in direct position to edit that speech, even if you see it elsewhere and don’t know Apple did it.
That’s the point. They’re huge.
Will not face charges in a court of law.
The law exists to avoid mob rule. When the law completely abandons any pretense of justice, that’s when mobs become emboldened by necessity.
The average Israeli citizen has been fed propaganda that rivals Russia since day one framing all their nations actions as defensive and necessary. And (broadly speaking) until this war only a few states would argue against this.
It also goes deeper than I initially knew, and Israeli schools and Israeli media fully include Gaza and the west bank wholly as part of Israeli, leading to a belief it is “occupied” by Palestinians, as well as teaching and reporting on Palestine only as terrorists, while enforcing this apartheid state.
So you have now generations of Israelis raised on this, gleefully committing war crimes because they believe it is rightful and just because the Palestinians are all Hamas. Yes even the children.
The level of Propaganda and how successful it has been is horrifying. This was the deliberate goal of the extreme Zionists in Israel, and their success means horrifying things for the world.
They were, quite literally, not Americans.
They were Confederates.
Robert E. Lee opposed monuments like this for these exact reasons. They were put up by post-war pro-slavery efforts to romanticize and justify the South. And looks like it worked on you.
Uh, if you were traveling for work of trade shows during those months, even if you think the headlines were hyperbolic, that was absolutely a real problem.
If there is ever a next successor to Blurays, for VR film or something, their DRM could be linked to a validation server. Once it’s always online what you describe becomes possible.
Currently Blurays and dvds are designed for offline playback, and are read only, so their licenses are always valid and perform no verification.
Legally, you own a disc, and a limited license to view the contents of the disc.
It’s effectively full ownership, but this same “limited license” model is how they fuck you over digitally, because without the disc, they can, at any time, revoke that limited license legally, because it was limited and they never granted full ownership. This is why the legality of pirating a movie you already own on Blu-ray is morally correct but legally wrong, because your license only grants you that one disc, in that one format.
I fucking hate it. The fact we dont have better property laws for media and IP is insane.
Hate the Israeli government and their actions.
Do not hate Jews. Ever.
One is a state. The other is a race of people.
If you must, hate Judaism even. Do not hate Jews.
One is a faith. The other is a people.
Artists and porn artists.
Bluesky hasn’t got enough of them yet, mastodon apps aren’t quite on that level yet.
Also overseas users. Lots of Japanese developers are sticking with it for now, until they have to go back to mixi or some shit.
“Microsoft wants to charge rent on all games on all platforms.”
Gamepass is like early Netflix. It’s a good value now. But once it reaches a large enough subscriber base, it fundamentally takes over publishing. Everyone copies the model because consumers are trained not to buy, and you wind up literally unable to buy things outright anymore.
Don’t think it happens? Try watching the Willow TV series on Disney Plus.
I hate paying perpetual rent in items I should own. I recognize gamepass is a good value, but still would rather own a game forever than see Nintendo and Sony take this same approach.
Buddhist monks in Tibet have been martyred as China murders them systemically and tries to insist Tibet doesn’t exist, only west China.
Sihks in Punjab have many recorded martyrs and the Sihks killed in the Hindu-led ethnic cleansings in the 1984 Sihk massacre are considered martyrs of the faith.
It’s common, just not as common in Judeo-Christian based faiths.
I mean, I’m not religious or Muslim. I don’t believe in Martyrs really. But there aren’t really Atheist martyrs. I mean, I guess you could die for the cause of Abolition or something and rhetorically be a “martyr” in the anti-slavery cause, but it’s borrowing religious terminology.
That’s all I’m getting at. It’s a religious term.
No.
But one day I will get so desperatly poor that taking out someone in siphoning wealth from the country and ending them might seem like a fitting end.
If we don’t change things anyways.
