  It adjusts temperature (can heat OR cool and in some versions it can heat one side and cool the other) and I think the even more expensive version can morph a bit to your liking, and according to them, reduce snoring.

  What they don’t mention is that regardless of whether you get the 3600 euro option or the 5800 euro option, you still have to SUPPLY YOUR OWN MATTRESS. It’s also a subscription service.

  If you didn’t hate it enough, it’s also advertised as being “powered by AI”. Which almost certainly is just some temperature adjustment algorithm, maybe even a deterministic one.

  I feel very overpowered in dialogues for one, too many boosts to my rolls at times.

  Theoretically, now that Microsoft owns half the AAA studios, you could expect Gamepass to have a lot of day 1 AAA games.

  Unfortunately, they just bought all the studios and… ordered them to stop making games or something.

  I’d cancel if I hadn’t done it several years ago. Oh well.

  Can already confirm they are doing that.

  Well yeah, I guess I meant more that this trend is increasing.

  We marked ourselves as “AI powered” . Nobody is using our AI tools after they go live. We can see the logs.

  Did using the buzzword help at all with shareholders or customers though?

  The executives are building dog shit unrealizable tools right now that nobody uses

  Don’t even need to build them sometimes IMO. Friend pointed out that the excellent notetaking app she was using claimed to use AI and then she found this comment on reddit from one of the people behind it:

  While FlowSavvy’s auto-scheduling is considered AI in the broad sense that it performs complex tasks that mimic human intelligence (and is exactly what people are looking for when they’re looking for “AI scheduling”), it does not ML/DL. Instead, FlowSavvy uses a carefully-designed deterministic algorithm to schedule tasks predictably, reliably, and quickly.

  Everyone seems to be super happy with it as an AI auto-scheduler lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I predict that for a while, corporations will lie about using AI more than they actually do, just because it’s still being hyped. But then everyone will stop giving a fuck.

  In cash, but it was always risky. Couriers get intercepted, etc.

  That said, I don’t think BTC is the best for CIA. It’s publicly traceable and that’s always been known. Of course if they have untraceable bank accounts and used those to buy the BTC, then it’s not particularly relevant. The spies can use their own tactics to hide their income.
