Sounds about right:

"Business users are spinning up AI agents left and right, feeling like they can build anything. Meanwhile, developers are stuck being the ‘reality police’ — trying to make these things actually work in production while secretly wondering if they’re automating themselves out of a job.

At the end of the day, many devs feel like they go through all this chaos … only to end up with a solution not that different from the software they’ve built before."

"The song “Drag Me Down” by One Direction appeared on YouTube 2,700 times after the service was asked to take down unlicensed copies. These 2,700 pirated uploads allowed Google to continue profiting from advertising while the artists got nothing."

That is objectively not true. Labels are very strict about issuing takedown notices. The only videos that stay up are those using content ID, in which case the artist gets paid.

I know this is an op-ed, but shame on the NYT for allowing such a blatant falsehood to be published.

Going from a seed stage startup to a feature on 10 million TVs in less than a year sounds fun. Only downside is you aren't going to build your own billion dollar business with this model.

You can't log into HBO now with you HBO Go credentials because they are two totally separate business models. You need a pay-tv subscription to authenticate HBO GO, while you pay a la carte for HBO Now and don't need cable. Cord cutter versus traditional.

Another nail in cable TV's coffin

I can see this being useful for sharing 3D models and perhaps some items in augmented reality commerce, but I doubt it will have much of a role to play in serious VR
