  • The project, internally named Cosmos (but different from the company’s existing Cosmos deep learning product)

    these people are a creativity vacuum

  • I love how the time factor is always ignored when tech companies eventually comply with regulation or just do the right thing. "at least they did it" isn't an argument, it's a consolation.

    It took airbnb over a year(!) to show all the fees up front on the search results page instead of waiting to show them on the checkout page. That's over a year after their asshat CEO announced on twitter that they would be doing it (to quell the social media uproar about how deceptive it was)

  • you've got to say more than that

  • if my product was labelled "general purpose" I'd consider that a slur

  • Thing that sucks about this, despite how stupid a “forever” mouse concept is (that isn’t a project with titanium and replaceable parts) is that this is normal in the software realm. But the grift is so easily observable and absurd when it’s applied to hardware. It’s normal operations for SaaS. It’s what SaaS is.

  • I might use this in the future (with credit, of course)

  • SAP seems to have implemented the AI functionality by just sloppily bolting it on the side

    "the side" here really gives the rest of SAP too much credit

  • endorsed by Proton's llm guy - on his alt with 38 followers but not on his proton-linked account with 660 followers.

  • they are fun to read, too. Also clearly helpful for the high tempo you're getting them out

  • I appreciate you guize's abilities to write such short snappy reports that are full of references and snark.

    Also, fuck upwork.

  • We’re testing SearchGPT, a prototype of new search features designed to combine the strength of our AI models with information from the web to give you fast and timely answers with clear and relevant sources.

    this is the most wishy washy distinction from chatgpt as a thing. Blatant throwing-shit-at-us-to-see-what-we-eat

  • yeah, that was the inspiration. I think it would be fun to call out companies which are existing despite their fucked brand. I guess it would be part of my pet theory that brand has been superseded by ux as the real commodity of tech capitalism

  • my adhd domain blocker just lifted for the weekend and this was the first thing I saw

    I wonder if there is commentary value in the world of fucked brands and researching unfucked brands and potential conflicts with key people in those companies.

    If I knew the ceo of proton was a bitcoin maxi it would have been a fun journey to now

  • I imagine it was reported by proton because they were directly @ in the post :)

  • I was reported for posting Eamon's twitter handle on masto
