That doesn’t really matter if they don’t retain users and continue to project a loss.

It’s likely bad because it may show volatility quicker and people will trade on it. That’s bad for the company and the existing users generally. Anyway active users doesn’t matter at all regardless of the period. It’s retention AND active u

I’d be more interested in user retention. Every AI product I’ve seen (from the investment side) does not speak of this. I have seen some data though that suggests user retention is short (3mo avg). People try it, find it’s not that useful o

It depends somewhat on how tolerant your customers are of shite. Literally all I’ve seen is stuff that I wouldn’t ship in a million years because of the potential reputational damage to our business. And I get told a lot by people who reall

Firstly the market was heavily inflated by hyped shit in the last year so past performance was bad but the numbers went up. Then there’s the currency situation which masks a lot of the decline. There’s a bunch of locked in shares and some o

Oh man don’t even go there. It does happen. AI generated code will get to production if you don’t pay people to give a fuck about it or hire people who don’t give a fuck.

From direct experience the moment someone gets to live on your kit, there’s going to be porn on it. A contract job I had a number of years ago was to undo the “I sold someone a slice of my colo box and it went badly” problem.

Slightly newer one here (Lenovo T470). The battery still works so it’s got a built in UPS. KVM comes with it too! All it does is scrape jobs really. I was running it on a VPS but that requires a modicum more effort to keep secure. This thin

It’s not really. Because engagement stops when you complain. Which means by exclusion it’s not engagement :)

Complaining about things where the engagement failed.

Yeah that. 00,01,02,03,04,05,06,07,OH SHIT

I just use contactless cards now. I’m done with tying my financial capability to a third party device. If I want to pay someone directly it’s PayPal family and friends or direct bank transfer.

Yeah. Also most of the people who review these things seem to have eyes that don’t work.

This is what we did internally. Someone said we could use LLMs for helping engineering teams solve production issues. Turned out it was just a useless tar pit. End game is we outsourced it. Neither of these solved the problem that our stack

I’ll add that I’ve heard this before. And it was from an Indian guy and he thought it was absolutely hilarious.

I started using a paper diary again about a year ago. Turns out I wasn’t missing much and fitting in the rails of calendaring and task management as the vendor (apple) saw fit wasn’t really helping me. I have two jobs and a large family to

Someone pulled that on me years ago. Him and his wife wanted me to hold the fort while they went on holiday. This was after delaying pay cheque twice. I was gone when they got back and so was their business. Pre-email ubiquity. So I resigne

Never feel bad for what you didn’t make.

The problem is there isn’t a viable revenue model. The moment you ask money for it the customers disappear. That means there isn’t a revenue stream to support the extreme cost of model training. And this is all paid for by people who expect

You assume it will improve. There is an asymptote from what I can see.

The market doesn't like this. All the professional investors got out ages ago (check out Berkshire's dumping) and are dumping to bagholders. Large fund holders are hanging on because they still make fees and it keeps their AUM up

So on that basis you think the market is happy with shit things made very fast? I can assure you it's not. And people are starting to realise that there is a lot of shit. And know that LLMs generate it.

I don't believe they've commented on this issue at all and they carry more messages than Apple do in the UK.

We just replaced the government responsible for the first issue with a moderately competent one. I expect there to be some progress now. In fact there has been. And it turned out to be mostly bollocks.

As a British native I feel well represented. It's not perfect of course. We might take a step back occasionally but this usually results in two steps forward. Some press like only to comment on the backward steps though.

Well it is because the judiciary smacked the secrecy side of it down pretty hard to make sure that it was done in public. That's a pretty strong indicator of a functioning democracy.

I think you vastly misunderstand or are oversimplifying the problem here. They actually spoke up against a government mandated privacy violation. What I am worried about really is Google, Meta etc did not speak up against it and likely have

Yeah exactly that with Buffet. He was dumping Apple recently as well as he knows it’s going to burn when the AI hype crashes.
