Every change that Microsoft did to their products since their high times 20 years ago was to shove more ads down your throat and squeeze more money out of every customer. Why anyone would be seeing forward to use their AI?

I always assumed that's their algorithm mostly and not related to the API levels. Apps that stand out most when you open the play store now are often these with heavily inflated user numbers through scummy ads or practice.

What if you instruct the AI that the person is 18 but looks like a child? Is it a child then or is it 18? And who is to judge? This is going to get interesting in future for sure.

I've seen a obvious ChatGPT wrapper being funded on a local variant of Shark Tank just because it was actually a nice idea. We've gone way to far already.

To be fair I live in the Alps basically and it's not colder on average than the city areas below. In fact we do have a lot more sun hours. I live were the warm winds from the south hit the Alps. It's arguable warmer and nicer here

I guess that's way more complex because there is no one right answer. (Interesting use case btw) And if you ask gpt for an specific answer to something it can't actually know for sure it gets weird fast. Asking it to guess how muc

Ask GPT4o to return a percentual score after each answer how likely something is 100% true. Did that for old regional stories and the higher the score the easier I could verify the story or parts of it. It seems to know, at least in some ca

I was only a few years in IT until I burned out and never really found back into a 'normal' life a bit more than 8 years ago. I haven't had a normal job since. I still can't imagine working a daily job. I highly doubt I

Same is true for whoever checks Ads for Facebook. Funnily enough telegram is way more restrictive with it's own ads.

Facebook is in the headlines because it shits on people's privacy. Telegram is assumed to do the exact opposite.

> Telegram allows everything and anything, including unsavoury/illegal content Which is simply wrong. Telegram is heavily banning users, channels and groups (if reported I assume) the difference is that they don't apply America

These popular playlists are often already owned by the music corps. And I am sure there is a price tag for those that Spotify manages. Next to that there is also the shadow fact that there are millions of dollars and more in fake plays, su

I never tried to convince anyone. I try to put my product in front of my assumed target audience and let them decide their self. If people make money it's easy to make them spend some money. Hard part is to keep them spending.
