Isn't that, like, the most common side effect of it? I was just googling for side effects, and different sources vary a bit, but almost all list digestive discomfort
It could, by bringing better customer service. However, the decentralization aspect of the real thing is very intriguing for me. I wonder if there's a way to standardize this service offering while keeping decentralization in its core architecture. That'll be the best of both worlds really. Could probably revitalize this industry too.
Yea no one buys this excuse. It’s just a way to create lock-in and siphon off our data. And it’s at the expense of consumers who can have a better experience through Apple. No one should trust the low quality software car companies build - they simply cannot invest in it like a real software company. And one day they’ll probably be hacked and it’ll be the consumer who is victimized.
I’ve seen this trend of not including CarPlay pick up. Sure Tesla has this stance. Now GM. And I guess Rivian. All are out of consideration for our family, as a result of this one choice.
Or if you want a simpler reason to distrust them - look at what this Rivian person claims in this article. He says CarPlay takes over every single pixel in the car. That hasn’t been true on any car I’ve had with CarPlay. The CarPlay piece is framed within the UI of the car maker, and the dashboard behind the steering wheel also doesn’t have CarPlay pixels. It’s a blatant lie.
The biggest benefit is that it creates competition among models. If more people use open weight models or models from other providers, it’ll be harder to ban them. Which is what OpenAI and Anthropic will try to accomplish. OpenAI by lobbying the Trump administration for favorable treatment (see Brockman’s MAGA PAC donations), Anthropic by using religious leaders and nonprofits to push “safety” justifications for difficult regulations.
I can’t read the article due to the paywall, but I think Brockman becoming the largest donor to the MAGA PAC is really about regulatory capture, and the timing is to protect OpenAI from new competition they didn’t see coming.
Anthropic also wants regulatory capture but they’re doing it differently: they are partnering with religious organizations to push safety / ethics narratives, that they hope will end up in law. The religious groups are a vehicle to get public support for their desired regulations.
Without such protections, neither company can avoid being commoditized. The Chinese models are close behind. And traditional big tech controls distribution. So what’s their moat?
Yes that’s because the pope is pushing actual messianism. Are people forgetting what he stands for and which organization he represents? It’s silly that people are suddenly putting him on a pedestal. The Catholic Church is an evil force that has destroyed many other countries’ cultures and religions, not to mention enabled the mass systematic abuse of children.
The pope is against tech companies getting power but is happy for the Catholic Church to gather power and abuse it when it’s for his causes. No thanks. Tech companies are far less evil than Catholicism.
The various popes have made many statements in the past about converting many ethnicities and countries. With that comes contraception bans, reduced women’s rights, interference in the politics of those countries, corruption, and so many other problems. Like other extremely opinionated belief systems, the Catholic church’s goal is to replace all other beliefs and systems of government, and the power they get is meant to impose their beliefs on everyone in society.
