• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta’s “AI superintelligence” effort sounds just like its failed “metaverse”⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically a Zuckerberg read or watched Ready Player One and decided he wanted to own that.

  They have put a ridiculous amount of R&D into it at this point but the whole metaverse idea doesn’t actually enable anything new or better than the existing paradigms.

  There are services line eazy backup or borgbase that I wound consider backups

  But iCloud or Google drive or Dropbox or onedrive are not.

  Aside from account deletion when you overwrite a file there’s no retention — backups should be immutable, they’re vulnerable to bitlockers, storing media on them can trigger hash based piracy detection systems (whether you’ve legally acquired material or not), and they don’t have a policy that allows you to bulk download quickly without interruption or rate limiting.

  This guy is terrible at running profitable businesses and somehow Amazon at raising funds.

  I don’t get it.

  I don’t think the Reddit community needs help being negative.

  They probably don’t have to test most of those games since they’re just thirst trap anime romance reskins

  The training data thing is so frustrating.

  Every service just changed their terms of service to allow it and nobody got in trouble.

  Thank you

  It would be hard to make Reddit search worse, so have at it

  For my own edification, what is this IRA?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BMW’s new iDrive turns the whole windshield into a heads-up display⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The one innovation I’ve wanted from this tech: a digital liquid crystal black circle that automatically blocks the sun from your eyes.

  In Canadian winters the sun sets and rises at peak commute hours, and it mixes with all the salt on your window to blind you both ways.

  I dumped it.

  I haven’t really missed it at all, except that I never got to finish Shogun.

  I want to see it be so awful we all ignore it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fairly Oddparents Gets a Sequel Series With Original Cosmo and Wanda Voice Actors Returning - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly, if they’re going to ruin it then ruin it properly so we may all ignore it like the avatar movie.

  This should be done as a live action show.

  Or not at all.
