What’s crazy is I still can’t make it onto their website without waiting in a 20 minute queue. Stupid.

Good question. I bet there’s decent money to be made in prompt engineering.

It sounds better at $30/min. Still stupid expensive, so it better deliver. As of now only tech enthusiasts are using it to say “haha look what I made”.

But when these video generators are more fleshed out they’ll be competing with stock videos, and likely are now. The value proposition is there if you’re a company buying custom imagery from professionals. Exciting to see how this plays out.

Because criminalizing having a different political view definitely sustains democracy.

If it were that simple, and they were comparable/better than starlink, they’d be a lot more prominent than they are, no? You’re leaving out information.

All it takes is a couple investors and that all goes bye-bye.

Very few people have had their car purchasing decisions influenced by Musk, that’s evidenced by Tesla being the top 3 best selling EVs in the U.S. in Q2. Their sales will decrease as competition increases. You could make the argument the lack of competition is what maintains their sales.

This is why they’re leaning hard on FSD, it’s the only thing that could realistically make them stand out once the EV market matures. We’ll have to wait to see if V13 delivers (was supposed to release in October…) in order to gauge their future as a company.

They’d have to implement ads eventually anyway. Companies do have budgets, and the money to run Threads has to come from somewhere.

Make one :)

Are they stupid? In fairness, I don’t know how they’re making any money at all. I’ve never seen anyone interact with the discover feed and therefore see ads. There really isn’t a way to monetize Snapchat without killing it off.

I’m not even reading that article because, no. But I’m all for an award system here on lemmy. All money goes to the instance hoster and the user gets badges, maybe a highlighted name. The most gilded users get entered into a giveaway every month or so for something like a T-shirt.

That’s allows for the instances to sustain themselves and gives users more incentive to post, without stupid subscriptions and promoting content farming.

There’s no way they used Gemini and decided it’s better than GPT.

I asked Gemini: “Why can great apes eat raw meat but it’s not advised for humans?”. It said because they have a “stronger stomach acid”. I then asked “what stomach acid is stronger than HCL and which ones do apes use?”. And was met with the response: “Apes do not produce or utilize acids in the way humans do for chemical processes.”.

So I did some research and apes actually have almost neutral stomach acid and mainly rely on enzymes. Absolutely not trustworthy.

Yes, I tried the mastodon app probably about 4 years ago before I knew what federation was. I could not figure out how to sign up and ultimately gave up. There needs to be an app/website that explains it well and guides you through the process.

And honestly both bluesky and mastodon do a poor job if this.

Twitter allows porn now, no?

I swear this was supposed to release tomorrow

Should a self-driving car face more rigorous tests than actual human drivers? Honest question.

Yeah, it’s pretty simple.

Read the two sentence long descriptions on join-lemmy.org/instances and use the same username and password if you’re that lazy.

Thank you for using ground news.

My LG V60 didn’t have this problem. I used Niagara and Nova launcher full time on it.
