Why are they even trying to make an AI ? Just wait until someone has a good one and steal it, I mean train your AI on it. All these companies are pouring money into AI under the assumption that if they get there first - they get an instant monopoly forever.

www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr... I dunno, AI seems to be going exactly as well as could be expected. I’m sure people will be lining up to pay for what basically amounts to a seventeen year old black-pilled 8-kun user sitting in an energy-drink littered basement north of Kansas City somewhere.

Great, now it'll burn down an acre of the rainforest when I ask it to play "Smooth" by Carlos Santana.

I say this with deep respect: you do some really funny shit, only made funnier by the fact that it's in the WSJ

Isn't the entire point of Alexa to harvest data they can use to effectively market to you? They've already conned people into paying for the hardware to allow them to do this, and now they want people to pay a sub for the benefit of gifting high-quality preference data to Amazon?!

They’re also pushing GAI internally, trying to get us to use tools trained on internal documentation.

They're gonna do to smart homes what was done to Google Search the absolute mad lads

Maybe...if all other services become worse in unison...

Yeah I was recently confronted with Gemini instead of assistant and taking 5 minutes to tell it to remind me to check an account the next morning was truly a joy and a pleasure

Pets!

When I see Amazon getting it so wrong for so long, I wonder how much is attributable to their truly toxic talent management practices.

What’s the best kind of glue to use on your pizza?

Everyone is so fucking thirsty to cram a worse product down our throats.

I think it's actually pretty impressive that they were able to make an Alexa device so bad that they were actually concerned that customers might not like it. It must be sooo bad.

It is even funnier because I am sure 95% of Alexa devices are only used for timers and as music players anyway.

There was a story on NPR today about Spotify's AI Dj, and it made my soul explode. Why are we doing this? How many actual people could Spotify afford to hire to do voicework and analysis for curated playlists? What are we fucking doing anymore?
