Ooo tee deee!

It’s hard for you to get that Sam is a public figure. Your tone policing is well-meant but you have no jurisdiction here.

Forever Voices specifically went into the sexy-talk chatbot business under the name Forever Companion. The company closed when CEO John Meyer went to jail in October 2023 for attempted arson. [PC Gamer, 2023]

lol

It’s more a commentary on photo editors, really. Honestly just like they’re going to run a picture of Taylor Swift for the Ticketmaster story, they’re going to find (easily, apparently) a goofy picture of OpenAIguy to run next to his stories.

I’m not bullying anyone, least of all this billionare crypto pinhead. I’m being mean, yes but if that’s your beef then I dunno what to tell ya. There are some people it’s okay to be mean to in public forums where they’re not present. (Are you Sam? Hey if so, you suck, otherwise please disregard, I’m sure you(not-Sam) are quite nice.)

Yeah this billionaire techbro of future dystopia is so bullied. His sister would know.

What if we didn’t forge a relevant equivalence for every criticism in order to negate it?

This. Management screwed up multiple times and doomed Sega to be . . . well, whatever it is they are now.

Bad Management (or “good management” if one finanically benefitted from this decision).

Looks like every other pic. Weird and wrong.

Anyone who has seen tech hype like this before knows exactly what to expect.

This is why companies should pay for experience. They don’t, and we all get to go through the funhouse again.

Yes.

Just standard Pooty-poot simping MAGA Qult materials. Nothing of note really.

It’s only right

Cool, thanks for the link!

Hi tankies! waves

Haha! Man that’s a trip.

It’s a tumblr . . . contest? Theme? Something, meant to evoke the old Activision badges.

*Still, as the first day of I/O wound down, it was hard to escape the feeling that the web as we know it is entering a kind of managed decline. Over the past two and a half decades, Google extended itself into so many different parts of the web that it became synonymous with it. And now that LLMs promise to let users understand all that the web contains in real time, Google at last has what it needs to finish the job: replacing the web, in so many of the ways that matter, with itself. *

I had actually read this article the day it came out, but I didn’t think too much of that paragraph until a couple days later at a dinner full of folks working on decentralization. Someone brought up that quote, though paraphrased it slightly differently, claiming Casey was saying that Google was actively putting* the web into managed decline*.

Whether or not that’s very different (and maybe it’s not), both should spark people to realize that this is a problem.

Our bots have sucked up everyone’s sites, so screw your web we got it all at the Evil Store.

Hey it worked for that other fascist guy

It’s tough, but fair.

And paywall. :/

Google is strong-arming it for unknown reasons.

lol. Yeah it’s a mystery.
