That’s how every ecosystem eventually grows. First come the weeds aimed at colonizing new areas as fast as possible. Then come the small plants, then the shrubs, the trees until it’s a self sustaining forest of different species.

and it’s always somehow better and worse at the same time.
Humanity is always on a meandering route between utopia and dystopia, never arriving at either.
why the hell would anyone play a game with ads?
It’s Microsoft. They made Embrace, Extend, Extinguish their way of life for decades. They can’t conceive competition. And they’re not really that interested anymore in the consumer market. They want to squeeze whatever they can from there before the market shrinks and aim their products more at the premium and business market who has all the money these days.

on [US] House passes bill requiring AM radio in all new cars sold nationwide in c/technology@lemmy.world · 17 Sep 2026
Car producers avoid AM as that means they have to shield their stuff better (= more expensive) or you hear spikes in the radio sound. FM doesn’t have that problem, but has much less range.

Well, if you go back far enough you might encounter punch cards or even switches, but then again you’re not taking about modern computers anymore.

Half a year ago Musk was saying this is a hard take-off for AI, what means AI would improve itself and you basically can’t stop it anymore. Now he says he wants a pause. The hard take-off seems to have fallen flat.

on Tesla killing Solar Roof is leaving installers with six-figure losses in c/technology@lemmy.world · 7 Sep 2026
There are already others selling solar tiles like Tesla, but a bit of a search tells me these tiles are a minority. Existing houses don’t replace their roof but add panels on top of it. New houses seem to go with cheaper large panels that are prettied up to give a tile like effect and build them integrated into the whole of the roof.

Industrialization was also inevitable. It also create 100+ years of misery, exploitation and protest. People of course will assume the same will go for AI, but even worse and they assume that because that’s exactly what the creators of AI say will happen. Understandably some folks are a bit reluctant.

It used to be called the blinking twelve problem, because many adults were unable or unwilling to learn how to set the clock on a VCR, resulting in it being stuck at the start up state of flashing 12:00.
Even if running local AI would be as simple as downloading an app, a bunch would still have issues.

They provide value for some, but so far most people use the free version and monetizing the thing by moving users to paid subscriptions fails miserably. Professional users also question the value compared to price hikes they’re seeing.

on Anthropic expected to tell investors it sees over $30 trillion in potential revenue, WSJ reports in c/technology@lemmy.world · 26 Aug 2026
SpaceX expects 26T. OpenAI didn’t say but if you ask Sam he’ll make up a number for you for the last third of world GDP.
Their argument is that AI will make everybody so productive that world GDP will grow massively. Not that there really is any evidence for that, but hallucinating things is now a business plan.

It’s probably the clearest if a built-in camera is not allowed for glasses and the camera is an external unit they have to clip on. Functional the same, but socially making it clear you’re filming.

At this stage, it’s chosing between the old global power that you know will die soon but is still strong enough to hurt you, the most likely new global power that’s rising fast, or putting in enough me money, effort and discomfort into becoming an independent power and explain that to a population that likes to vote for more purchasing power and pensions, not less.

You can just skip a few welds, don’t measure lubricant exactly but do it quickly ±20%, or don’t bother smoothly apply sealant. Reduce time to let paint dry. Don’t bother with exact alignment. Sure, the car might rattle, rust, break in a small accident and the engine doesn’t last long but you’re cranking them out fast.

It’s more fun to have free version of copilot build you a webpage for the weather with just the graphs, numbers and features you prefer, with outrageous styling.
Most companies these says aim for the top 10% of the income market, so rich families and businesses. The bottom 90% is losing purchasing power so not a priority these days. Sounds rational short term and is probably disastrous long term. It’s a great target for China to take over, so when AI pops and they want to return to the consumer market, it’s already taken.
