Because they don’t actually give a shit about society.

OMG the house is on fire, quick, grab the flame thrower!

But what ChatGPT does is more like an open book test, rather than cramming before a test.

It’s not like ChatGPT actually knows these things. It’s essentially a search engine. So if it aces an AP biology exam, it basically looked up the answers. It does a great job of making sense of data and putting it all together, but don’t be fooled into thinking that it knows everything about everything.

They just killed Halo instead.

Ban curtains!

I say we bring back running down the sidewalk with a stick in your neighbor’s fence.

Like the average person has a clue how to configure a content blocker. LOL

My parents play crosswords on their phones and tablets. You might try that.

You would never know it from the brand name, but Brother is a Japanese company, and the Japanese are known for making elegant, well made, and easy to use stuff. Konica Minolta is also Japanese and makes pretty good stuff, but for a basic printer I prefer Brother. And don’t bother with inkjet, get a Brother all in one laser printer, and you’ll have a very reliable machine that isn’t expensive to operate. The ink won’t dry up if you don’t use it, and the drivers aren’t constantly trying to sell you anything.

After being in IT and software development for over 25 years, the only printer brand I bother with any more is Brother. It’s unbelievable how much better they are than everyone else. No nonsense drivers and they’re not constantly trying to force you to buy expensive ink.

Short term profit > Longevity

Every single time.

Disney+ is similar. Obviously they have the massive library of movies, but their TV shows have been fairly similar to Apple TV.

They freaking cancelled Westworld when it only had one season left in the story.

It’s because they didn’t buy Cinemax to combine them into a bigger more valuable brand with more IP. They bought out Cinemax to eliminate the competition. And they did it around the same time that all the streaming services started taking off, so they obviously got their asses kicked by Netflix. Cable TV as a whole has really suffered since Netflix and Prime got really big.

It would be more like if Coca Cola randomly decided to rebrand itself as Piss.

Until those companies realize that it provides no value, and drop the added expense because they know their customers won’t care.

He renamed a valuable trademark to a letter that he’ll never be able to trademark. It’s like when Intel tried to trademark the letter I.

Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon

It’s just like spending, what was it, 44 billion dollars or something like that to own Twitter, and not even a year later you drop the brand and rename it X. Like, dude, any decent programmer or sysadmin could spin up a copy of Twitter in a few days of work. You paid $44 billion for the brand.
