Totally nothing sleazy about that guy.
I’m not against progress and we build stuff as we advance as a civilisation, but the size of this thing is ridiculous, and environmental impact is going to be huge.
I hope he loses a ton of money on that thing.
I’m sorry, but that’s a terrible setup for 99% of the people. I don’t want a big loud box near a tv. How would you even control it ? If all you are going to do is launch those apps, most people would be better off with apple tv. You can even install jellyfin there if you have your own home server and stream to it.
The problem with using the for LLMs is that the product itself is questionable in nature No it’s not. It’s imperfect and flawed, but still very useful. All those companies buying enterprise and team plans don’t do it because they expect to get AGI one day, they do it because it’s useful to them now. I see it in my own company, being used for all sorts of stuff, including software development assistance. Usefulness is what counts, not if it sometimes gets something silly wrong which then everyone shouts out from the rooftops.
Yes, there is possibly too much money in it for what it potentially can deliver within 5, 10, 15 years from now in terms of revenue, but even if the technology stopped evolving today and we would just keep getting faster and cheaper outputs, it would still be incredibly useful and valuable. And of course, it’s not stopping.
The article is a steaming pile of garbage. I was ready to hate on Waymo, but the article is conflating what happened in the US with whatever might or might not happen in the UK.
It’s pretty obvious the AVs need to observe the traffic rules, otherwise they will be fined into oblivion and have their licence revoked.
The click bait worked.
People here are super negative for no reason. It looks like someone’s garage project, why does there have to be immediately an android app ?
I find the idea of tapping the phones to connect a nice one, it looks like a unique feature, but i also think that’s not enough to make people want to use it. Actually it will serve as both, a reason to use it, and maybe even a stronger one not to.
With services like this, you need some critical mass of people to get it off the ground, and i don’t see how he can achieve that without some strong capital making the push(and yes, it does need the android version for that to happen). The social network market seems quite saturated already - unless you have something amazing your competitor can’t add in a week, i don’t see it happening.
openrouter provides chat interface, don’t see one here
seems only to be an API gateway, you get API key from them, and they will reroute to the model of your choice, with a 5.5% markup on the price
not saying it’s of no benefit to anyone, just observing the major first difference i’m noticing
That’s a terrible article though and seems quite click-baity, it’s hard to say what’s going on just based on that.
It also says
We’re talking Personal Intelligence, Google’s latest AI upgrade path which lets users opt-in to connecting Google apps to Gemini.
If it’s opt-in, it’s fine, as long as the user knows what exactly they are opting in for.
Same with boox, it even lets me use AI without needing to register. Love the freedom.

Dog: Help
Dog 911: Are you barking and squealing loud enough to make sure they understand you need them ?
Dog: More than ever
Dog 911: keep it up, as long as you are making a lot of noise, they will always come back
somebody did not read the article
That does not make sense. If they have the monopoly and it’s on every PC, which are being sold constantly, and it costs money to obtain, then it should at least should have a potential to be highly profitable.
And we all thought Hitler was nuts. This is a whole new level of unhinged and dangerous.
I’m in the EU. I was anti-piracy in the past. It took Trump’s threats to our territory for me to stop paying any streaming services and actively engage in piracy.
Now the money goes to the seedbox hosts outside the US instead of disney or netflix. I also started using ad-blocker for youtube instead of paying.
I don’t think this is fair towards the content creators but i just can’t bring myself to give the US companies any money unless i absolutely have to. I will keep doing this until the US changes its laws/constitution to disallow someone like Trump from threatening their allies, oh and plus until they apologise and promise not to do it again.
Not only will i not give them money, i will aim to cause them economical harm.
It has voice control and some sort of remote camera features you access through the app. I guess it makes sense for instance when on a vacation, you can inspect the house this way.
Yes.
I mean it’s great if the NATO members spend equally to their abilities, but specifically Trump wanted to get his buddies from the military industry complex to benefit, that’s why he kept bringing it up constantly, to the detriment of the alliance.
Oh no, this is not what the US had in mind when the military industry lobby pushed the US government to strong arm Europe into spending more on defense.
Less money for middle class and more money for investors owning Nvidia, OpenAI, Anthropic.
Make no mistake about what’s happening, that’s wealth transfer from the bottom to the top.
