I think it's best to leave the post link as is. I don't want to point people to misinformation. I've added a post description instead with context and the archive link. If people downvote this post because of the 404, so be it.
3.78 Trillion dollar market cap. You don't get to that valuation by being generous to your customers.
Apple is as capitalist as any of them. They're just wrapped in shiny marketing. Now only if their fans understood that.
Widevine is the defacto standard proprietary technology for DRM-locked content. It's used by all the major streaming services like Netflix and Disney+. Without it, publishers would not make their content available to those platforms for fear of rampant piracy, especially for high quality and 4K content. I guess Widevine requires some sort of vetted relationship with any browser that wants to use their tech.
I took it to mean that newer AI browsers were taking mind-share, if not market-share. I think you're right that they're minuscule in terms of actual user numbers, perhaps because there are many of them now.
Sounds like Geoffrey Hinton got in Bernie's ear and did a good job convincing him of the fears. Hinton is a good guy, but he's drunk too much of his own kool-aid. I think the bubble will pop at some point, but I'd prefer the fear-mongering over the hype, because the AI companies and governments do need more scrutiny.
I'd like the bubble to be true so that we can move past this nonsense phase, and it may well be true, but I could also see it being extended for years potentially, since there's so much money being pumped into it, and governments are also buying into the hype.
You and I are not at odds, friend. I think you're assuming I want to ban the technology out right. It's possible to call out the issues with something without being wholly against it. I'm sure you would want to prevent these deaths as well.
