This is advertising 2024 style and very dangerous…

For me it’s not about it being News Corp thats the biggest problem here.

It’s that OpenAI simply, openly promotes one corporation / sources of content over others in their results / training. Maybe they gave them most likely a pile of money to make that happen. Or that they didn’t do it for any other bias than they liked their content. I don’t know.

Regardless, the fact a company with such power over text actively says they’ll promote certain content over others means that whatever trust can be placed in these LLMs now needs to be “officially” measured against sponsored results.

This is all great and everything but when will enterprise customers like me see it? I’ve still my M1 Max on back order since February because “Apple is experiencing supply issues and prioritises consumer and education ahead of enterprise”

The M2 Max will be with us when my Mac finally ships…

Gonna get some hate of course but where’s SAP here? SaaS, private cloud in Rot, BW, Germany, and stringent data privacy as it’s a German company. Executes entirely under GDPR, ticks every of the boxes.

Europe’s biggest software company, never mentioned…

>> And it's now being employed as a "whatabout" distortion by those sympathetic to (or uncritical of) the Belarusian action.

You've made a huge assumption there, and characterisation, and that's exactly the problem. I and many others are not sympathetic or uncritical of the action at all. I'm just critical of not having debate about the differences between this and other actions and removing the debate.

I'd say, yes, it was a civilian airliner. It affects more people. However to do it to a private jet too shows precedent to abandon international norms. Nobody being arrested is merely because Snowdon wasn't aboard. If he was, he'd have been arrested. And the diversion of any plane to an airspace where the arrest of someone on board can take place by a foreign power, is ultimately what is the issue here isn't it? And there are enough obvious parallels that at least we have the discussion, not just remove the discussion forthwith.

It's now flagged. A comment saying that the forced landing of the President of Bolvia's plane in Austria, due to the US belief that Snowdon was on board, could be somehow relevant to the forced landing of a Ryanair flight in Belarus of someone the government believes is damaging them.

Free speech in action...

Ahh disagree! When your Mac goes wrong / displays aren’t working or connecting, it’s the only easy way to know the thing has actually rebooted. No lights, HDD clicking noise, nothing like in the olden days.

And also reduced our basic freedom, our economies, and placed millions into poverty.

Covid isn’t a good example of a sustainable balancing of the environment over human activity.

Considering their argument of charging 30% is of course not a lock-in tax but to provide a quality service for both customers and developers, this is particularly harmful to that argument.

But life will go on as it does, and 30% will continue to be banked...

You know what’s impressed me software wise has been Microsoft on Mac.

For home office I pretty much use their software constantly: Office 365, Teams, SharePoint, VSCode, and it’s not just rock solid, but pretty enjoyable as it is rock solidly integrated together.

Would never have thought I’d say MSFT having rock solid anything, nevermind on a Mac, but credit where it’s due.

I see this is sponsored by SAP. Is it integrated with their existing RPA offerings?

Surprised why so many people are surprised. Digital services and platforms are booming in this current climate. We have no choice but to be consuming content.

App downloads (30% thank you very much), Apple TV+ ($10 a month thank you very much), Apple Music...the list goes on. That list, apart from TV+ specials, is just revenue on the backs of other work. Others taking advantage of lockdown to product more content. Which makes these companies more and more without lifting a finger. And the Apple TV specials are short change. Just drive growth.

Microsoft, Amazon, Netflix, remote tools like Mural and Zoom, all these digital platforms offering consumer and business services are king right now. Ad supported services are booming, the Facebooks, Googles, because we’re consuming more ads.

It’s the cash cow of the 2010s and 2020s. Corona is only accelerating that.

You just completely prove my point.

First there’s the “almost 100%” of scientists agree argument again. Sorry, that’s not a valid argument for saying something is true!

Second. Models aren’t proof. They’re models. Yes we can measure gas quantities and determine correlations. But we haven’t scientifically proven it. We’re dealing with chaotic systems. Until we can, we need to remain skeptical and open to other ideas. That’s my point. Not that it isn’t happening.

Third. Then you bring politics into it. Oh the 1% are funded by Big Oil. Oh and the 99% aren’t funded by politically motivated players either? See point (1), scientific fact isn’t determined by who agrees with it or not. Until it’s proven, it may be unproven.

And fourth. Flat earth, again, the relationship to climate deniers...you don’t need scientists to agree the world isn’t flat. It’s proven. Scientifically. See the difference?

Thanks for eloquently providing examples to exactly what I was saying

What a way to show a lack of respect and kudos to a group doing good for everyone. Your copy hurts many things JohnWheeler...
