Would love if it was standard practice to seek interviews with the hypebeasts for the tech that didn't make it.

Just as a bookend, a "how it started/how it's going" kinda closure to the obnoxious modern convention of cheerleading for anything because so many others are doing it that it's somehow fine.

"You'd previously said you're 'excited to announce'; are you still 'excited to announce' these days?"
"Do you stick think this failed product is the future, or did you get widely misunderstood as thinking it was the future when at the time you sit 'was the future'?"
"Are you still available to announce excitement for new products this coming year?"

I expect a large chunk of it would be "%hypebeast did not respond to requests for comment as of time of publication" but since they'd know others would for shameless selfpromotion's sake it might be a higher number than expected.

No. Although legal texts and laws are a challenge to interpret (sometimes even with training and a background knowledge) a filing is expected to be self-evidently not a waste of time (it's the start of a process, it is the chance to nip a waste of time in the bud) so it demands a level of simplicity and intelligibility on at least the broad strokes; the who are involved and what the issue is over. This was not a brutally hard selection of reading material for analysis.

And that it cannot analyse it throws the value proposition of "selling LLMs as legal casework tools" business model in doubt. Value propositions like that are why investors would think "this LLM stuff" might be worth putting money in so it can mature. The PR can keep hyping it but the moneymen want a return, not just their money spent on PR convincing them it isn't all emperor's new clothes.

Ignoring that and plastering it on to the "Murrica dumb!" take is just timewasting; it's seeking the one angle where the charlatans LLM salesmen have built something of value because it works comparably to people's minds.

Not saying there won't be a showcase where it gets all the answer right.

Just saying the much, much simpler and older problem of using image recognition to manage a 1000 card MtG collection will demonstrate utterly inexplicable failures using only camera of a known high standard in good light with no moving objects, all items to be matched accurately available in the database and without possibility of false positives and negatives leading to a violent death.

In practice this is an idea only someone with insignificant liability for violent failure could get behind. Just like self-driving cars.

You sound crushingly lonely.

So, it's a think that simultaneously "JUST A JOKE BRO, DON'T TAKE IT SRS LMAO" and "Bro we just say it's a joke so we're not demonstrably "giving financial advice" and liable when the rug is pulled" applied to a Ponzi where no valuation rises without greater fools buying in, is that about right?

The meme coin is ponzi scheme with a bugfix.

The cause of the embarrassment or insult to others has to be a mistake to be a faux pas though.

Sure there's an easy way to say this:

"Hey y'know how AAA studios axe functionality of old product customers to artificially stimulate demand for new product? And AAA studios won't support direct player-to-player connections similar to the one's that existed in dial-up era PC gaming that still work to this day? Or release source code for running servers to let tHe CoMmUnItY that we care about so much? We're doing that. We're taking your toy away because it'll make us money! We love money! Also fuck games preservation, we will stuff the work of artists and shove it into the memory hole a few years later and you can't stop us."

There. It'll even fit on a flashcard that can be kept in a shirt pocket and reused several times a month!

The irrelevant problems were addressed and reported on, but relevant problems weren't.

Also, if I wanted to eat something, and hamburger was my first choice but wasn't available, my second choice wouldn't be "scientists say this, arguably, is a hamburger." Even if I'm dying for a hamburger but circumstances leave me to choose from ordering from a menu at a vegan restaurant of dishes I'd never tasted and the Mad Science Grey Area Meat I'd go with the former. I'd at least have a clue what the ingredients resemble. The worst that could happen is, what, I'd get into an argument with the vegan equivalent of a THAT kind of Arch Linux user?

The "carbon footprint" framing? That's an irrelevancy for anyone who'd garden a vegetable patch or allotment too; and for those who don't have the option, they're not the wealthy middle class who can afford to put SCIENCE! on the dinner plate. Any actual sincere effort to lower the carbon footprint of food production at scale wouldn't consider something with no track record when the phenomenon of increasing the distance between the eater and where the food came from is so new. Preservatives extend shelf life but look how recently sea biscuits/hard tack and salt cod had to be widely adopted because the tech wasn't there.

The carbon footprint of food, if it's a problem, is a problem caused by shortsighted zoning and treating global trade as something that will never be interrupted. Fix that shit. Fix the actual boring problem. Let Lab Meat Man go make burger flavored yoghurt or something if he wants, considering bacon flavor anything found a nerd niche for a while it might not be a dead end with no market.

"...Though xXx_ThirstTrap9000_xXx did indeed engage in expressive - and transformative - media in the use of body paint - which if not revolutionary at least demonstrated a welcome recognition of the harm that could be result to an imitator "trying this at home" as bodypaint is at least safer to coat the skin with than products such as Tide Pods (TM), the fact remains that Mr. Bezos is sick of being laughed at by the other space libertarians as building his fortune on the back of bathwater sales (obviously an exaggeration). Nevertheless like any gallery (and a gallery is what Twitch.tv is) we must curate our exhibitors to safeguard our reputation. It is therefore with the deepest regret we must, going forward, insist on more imagination on the viewers part as to the expression of artistic nudity exhibited...."

Stupid name, and don't argue otherwise. Had a smaller company tried using something so aggressively generic in a time of absolutely fucked-by-SEO-race-to-the-bottom search results, it'd be dead on arrival. That a big company would run with it just speaks to the milquetoast cultural wasteland it has in place of any values or vision. The product is an answer to a problem that doesn't exist: the inconveniences of the Fediverse's design combined with the Zuckerberg's regard for users who'd trust Zuckerberg.

Some old quote about how it's easier to see a splinter in the eye of another than a log in one's own comes to mind.

As Catholic pope, this idiot has the authority, power and duty to clean house; to make the Catholic church *anything* but a safe haven for sex offenders who abused the trust of others and raped children; who were then shielded from investigation and reassigned. Within his organisation he's expected to be treated as having The Direct Line to a Literal Omnipotent God. These badly needed changes to help heal the ruined lives of innocents have not happened; had they happened, it would have made headlines the world over.

This is the public relations equivalent of a stage magician drawing attention to one part of an act with performance so as to conceal something else. This an entirely ordinary weak and arrogant man surrounded by extraordinary pageantry and he is not talking about about AI but serving the entrenchment of continuing interference with the pursuit of a justice he could facilitate... but refuses to.

He's no more deserving of dignity or respect than anyone photographed with Jeffrey Epstein with a crying child in the background.

This is how I see it. Anyone wanting to "drive it like a rental" can expect to have to admit it and accept selling it at a discount or else discover that auction sites and payment processes have been dealing with deceptive sales for decades and don't stand for that shit.

A Zuckerberg simp. That's a new level of pathetic.

Hatsune Miku at Home: Gene_Simones.nft

Otherwise the only realistic outcome was her grave would be robbed and her carcass put on trial, with copies of the footage circulated between everyone who owned a VHS north of Newcastle.

With Kissinger it's a similar problem. They will have to dispose of that leather skinned haemovorous shrike's carcass like it is nuclear waste that could be looted for the public relations equivalent of a dirty bomb.
