What went wrong was greed. They should have sold to Microsoft when it was offering them a ridiculous amount of money for a business that was already losing the battle to Google.
- Comment on Baidu CEO warns AI is just an inevitable bubble — 99% of AI companies are at risk of failing when the bubble bursts 3 weeks ago:
Checks to see if Baidu is doing AI…yep.

It’s not that we don’t have a climate crisis. We do, and I’m not an advocate for AI. It’s just…mankind. I’m just stating what I think is going to happen, “whether we like it or not”.

Wether we like it or not AI is here to stay, and in 20-30 years, it’ll be as embedded in our lives as much as computers and smartphones.
- Comment on After 16 years, Ecobee is shutting down support for the original smart thermostat 6 months ago:
I honestly can’t understand why anyone would be OK with it. I think our society has been getting trained to just accept whatever they throw at us. “Buying” something no longer means fully owning it, and I’m not OK with that, I just have to live with it.
- Comment on After 16 years, Ecobee is shutting down support for the original smart thermostat 6 months ago:
I disagree. Definitely not OK by me, though likely legal. People bought this because they wanted and paid extra for an internet connected device, and a regular thermostat is not that. I mean, would you be OK that your TV manufacturer disables the screen and just streams radio stations instead?

Not sure if this has anything to do with it, or even if it’s real, but this post is still interesting:
- Comment on Protesters Gather Outside OpenAI Headquarters after Policy Against Military Use is Quietly Removed 8 months ago:
I totally agree with you about our humanity. And unfortunately, as part of humanity, if we don’t pursue military AI, our adversaries will.
- Comment on Amazon To Start Running Ads In Prime Video Series & Movies, Will Launch Ad-Free Tier For Extra Fee 1 year ago:
Same.
First they increase prices for content I don’t watch - Live and Sports. Next, I found out they don’t allow Amazon Whole Foods employees to wear BLM masks if they want, and now increasing prices again to avoid ads.
Meanwhile, I was able to get a Walmart+ membership (on sale) for $50/year, and their prices are very competitive with Amazon, which comes with Free shipping and Paramount+ subscription, as well as other perks.
It was a no-brainer.

Thanks for the upvote, and back at you. I’m thinking bots would be used to change discourse for whatever purposes.

- Comment on Firefox outperforms Chrome in speed for the first time according to a Speedometer assessment 1 year ago:
I’m wondering if they’re trustworthy with my data? I use the Brave browser and at least so far they haven’t tried to sell my browsing data. I’ve heard about the selling Brave Search stuff though, so I’m looking for good alternatives.

Who develops the Arc browser? Is it open source?
