Because the F-150 is available now, and the truck is nowhere to be found.

Of course, and they may even succeed in the short term. In the long term, this is a lost cause and basic market forces will force the issue:
-
Huge savings on overhead
-
Competitive advantage when it comes to attracting talent
You can't put the genie back in the bottle and the number 1 hurdle to business adopting major changes like this was blown to bits by covid. The, "this is the way we've always done it", excuse.

Reply to comment by anima-vero-quaerenti in The average TikTok user in the US is an adult 'well past college age,' CEO says by djJAMZ
Yeah. Undeniably a big reason Tik Tok isn’t appalling in the eyes of its users is it’s not seen as fundamentally different than any Meta product

It’s called lobbying bribing

I am an adult well past college age and I do not use Tik Tok so nice try CEO. I have more faith in being on Reddit and keeping my anonymity.

Was it a bug, or did ChatGPT decide any attention is good attention?

People are well past college age for much longer than not, and they probably found out more than just one person uses TikTok in that age range.

There is no such thing as 'well past college age'. It's never too late to get a college education.

It’s called lobbying. The lobbyists pump insane amounts of money to make sure workers rights are not protected. Congress loves their money.

Employees: We did our jobs for three years remote/hybrid. What do we get?
Apple: To come back to the office.
Employees: Surprised Pikachu face.

Reply to comment by 141_1337 in ChatGPT bug leaked users' conversation histories by swimmerRei5687
ChatGPT basically used Google Brain created AI tech, transformers. These were used to build ClosedGPT. For that reason it is NopeGPT. ChatGPT is really just datasets, which no one knows, they could swap at any time run some misinformation then swap the next day. This is data blackboxing and gaslighting at the up most level. Not only that it is largely funded by authoritarian or originally authoritarian money...
Google Brain and other tech is way more open already than "Open"AI.
ChatGPT/OpenAI just front ran the commercial side, but long term they aren't really innovating like Google is on this. They look like a leader from the marketing/pump but they are a follower.

Correct- and yet you're still wrong.
The mean isn't a meaningless statistic in the case of age.

Reply to comment by Shavethatmonkey in Expert: Misinformation targeting Black voters is rising — and AI could make it more “sophisticated” by Wagamaga
Telling someone that their racial identity depends purely on their political affiliation is in fact racist. Telling people that they have to vote a certain way because of their race is bottom of the barrel racism. You ignorant bigot.

Startups are juvenile businesses. When a major corporation tries to claim anything 'startup' it is like a fifty-year-old trying to sneak into a high school as a 17-year-old student.

Most adults just don’t fill their lives with much meaningful stuff, or don’t have the money/time either…sadly. The amount of people I know that just get off work and sit around smoking weed gaming/scrolling is pretty intense.

There's a whole series of Munro videos on the Mach E tear down. Here's the wrap up one

Well I am affecting that stat for my part. Over 60 YO, made 1 post to TikTok as an experiment after spending about 20 mins watching the most pointless shit I have seen on the Internet, have never returned there and likely won't do so. Social Media is pretty crap most of the time these days. FB is mostly pointless to me, Instagram is filled with ads disguised as regular posts, Twitter is a massive waste of time etc. Tiktok hasn't proven to be different for my purposes. But since I have an account I am no doubt skewing the average to whatever degree while also not participating.
Reddit is of course also a massive waste of time, filled with pointless posts and content, but at least I don't get inundated with as many ads and I can filter most of the content to just the subjects that interest me.

Idk I love WFH for most jobs but apple's software has gotten buggy and flatlined as hell, I have to wonder if WFH had any impact on that end
