Yup, and people seem to frequently underestimate how ridiculously expensive running a fleet of humanoid robots would be (and don’t seem to realize how comparatively low the manual labor it’d replace is paid.)

Frankly, no, they all come with some caveat.

By sinking ludicrous amounts of money into the „metaverse“, which turned out to be an utter flop.

Luckily I wasn’t even using the UI in the first place, still, not a good sign and probably something to look into for replacement.

I don’t think that’s a good fit there, Redox OS is 10 years old and has yet to go stable. In the same timespan in the 90s, Linux managed to carve out a notable portion of server market share. I am not going to Tanenbaum myself and claim it’s never going to go anywhere but as is, Redox is more like the one who didn’t show up because they are still in their moms basement.

Yup, also especially for industrial applications, requirements and needs absolutely can change, and that means having to work around the equipment. I have seen firsthand the experience of trying to get new features into ancient applications. (Made worse by the fact that we took on support for it because the original company which had created the program had gone under).

Yeah, often learning anything more than the meme itself is that way, if only because you often find out about the rather sad route many of those early viral meme people went down.

My pet conspiracy theory has been that Elmo was hoping Trump would mandate that everything gov related has to drive Teslas.

The moment a certain company is mentioned in an article, lemmy will go rabid, it doesn’t really matter what the article is about. I am a Linux nerd and if MS crashed and burned tomorrow I wouldn’t exactly shed a tear but the knee jerk reactions are pretty weird to observe.

My money is on Clownflare, truly a match made in hell.

Clownstrike doesn’t know what that is, but they will be sure to ask an LLM about it some time!

Oh he’s been called out for that for over a decade now, it just got buried under the mass of starry eyed reporting.

I suspect they don’t even believe in this themselves, this is just a last ditch attempt at squeezing a little more cash out of dumb investors before declaring bankruptcy eventually. Seeing how one of their investors was Square Enix, that might even work.

There have been some attempts in that regard, I don’t remember the names of the projects, but there were one or two that’d basically generate a crapton of nonsense to do just that. No idea how well that works.

I can’t think of many companies I would be less willing to buy home automation tech from than Google.

I vaguely wonder what the actual overlap between the sort of people who would buy something like that and people who’d be willing to do this actually is, especially since they didn’t sell a lot in the first place.

Wait, people thought they didn’t? I would be shocked if any LLM company didn’t do that.

Yeah and it turns out that this isn’t working well. https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/5783 Video is an unsolved problem, it’s great people are working on it but we aren’t there yet. PeerTube is not a viable YouTube alternative.

They aren’t really, some crypto bros just bought the name and stuck it to this pile of horseshit, presumably in the hopes of making some money off of idiots.

It did, but the branding got sold a few times and is now in the hands of some crypto company.
