Massive generation gap. In the 2000s, parents canceled Eminem while the kids loved him. In the 2020s, kids are canceling Eminem while the parents love him.
@carnage4life It amuses me immensely that the heavy metal I listen to as a teenager that the older generation was so terrified of is now solidly in the "dad music" category.
@carnage4life I'd imagine that his recent enthusiasm for building "AI" in Twitter is almost entirely driven by his need to find something to do with the hundreds of millions he paid Nvidia for chips that Tesla doesn't need.
@tob@carnage4life i’m no expert, but i think there needs to be a more clear handoff of assets. especially since tesla is public, and not primarily owned by Musk, siphoning resources from Tesla is effectively stealing from investors
This is another tone deaf AI pitch from a tech CEO. A valuable feature for workers would be intelligent summaries of meetings you didn’t attend.
A deepfake me that can attend my Zoom calls and make decisions is at best hype and at worst insulting to other meeting attendees.
I’ll make him a deal. I’ll use this tech when Zoom’s CEO uses this tech to attend Zoom calls for earnings reports and his leadership meetings so he can spend more time with his family.
@carnage4life I can see it now: A group of AI avatars all have a meeting and decide that drinking cement will help us meet quarterly targets and then agree to sell the company to some 13 year old hackers for $2.5 trillion worth of NFT's.
@carnage4life I'm willing to go out on a limb here and say that if your family is like a startup then you really, really should consider therapy and also possibly running as far and fast away from your circumstances as you can possibly manage.
After Pixar’s layoffs, the other shoe has dropped and Disney is revamping they make movies. They will move away from unique personal stories from their directors lives like Luca and Turning Red.
Instead they will focus on sequels like this summer’s Inside Out 2.
Finding Nemo and The Incredibles are the candidates most likely to be future sequels. They are also going to monitor the performance of their Inside Out spinoff on Disney+ to decide if they’ll keep making shows.
I saw #furiosa this afternoon and it reminded me a lot of Rogue One. A prequel that is itself a great movie which while not being as great as the original comes quite close in various ways.
I’m honestly shocked this isn’t doing well at the box office.
Ads are the most obvious form of enshitification of the Amazon experience and returns is a close second. Long gone are the days of simple, no questions asked returns.
Given 1 out of 7 retail goods purchased in the US are returned, it’s proven unsustainable to make it easy to do.
Making it harder to return things is simply good business for a retailer.
On a related note, I’ve had Amazon itself notify me items were not delivered but then make it hard to then file for a refund or a re-delivery.
A dynamic in tech right now is that there’s a handful of companies making the majority of the profits and revenue in the sector.
Typically these companies spread their wealth through hiring and acquisition which are both down for different reasons. How will this impact the tech industry?
