Yeah, Thanos has principles and his actions are backed by altruism. Musk is a spineless self-serving parasite with actions backed my ketamine.

Eh, with that logic you could argue that all music streaming services are the same product with different front ends. Which, in a way, is kinda true…

Go existed for a few years before Now was released, and they were separate websites/apps. I’d say they qualify as different products. I would be interested to know if they shared any backend tech though. Would probably save a pretty penny if they shared a CDN.

HBO Go required a cable subscription and Now didn’t. I think both of them only had shows produced by HBO, so it was a much smaller collection.

Go was around for a few years as the only HBO streaming platform, but it came with your cable subscription, so you had to pay for a super expensive cable package to access it. That’s partly why Game of Thrones was the top pirated TV show ever, at least at the time.

They eventually released Now, which to my understanding was just Go but you could pay for it directly without a cable package. Both Go and Now existed simultaneously for a few years.

Eventually HBO Max was released, which is the platform we know today with a lot more than just HBO content. That one was renamed to just Max and is now being renamed again back to HBO Max because Max is a stupid name.

HBO Go and HBO Now were different products though

LMAO this is soooo true. Recently went on a hiking trip at a national park where there were lines to get into the parking lot, but as soon as you stepped off the paved trail the crowd went down 90%, and a short walk later and we were the only ones in the whole park.

Lol, and what would the ransom be for taking down someone’s money-burning hobby project?

Surely the price will then drop once the tarrifs are over!

Lucky! Some of us live places that don’t allow you to own one of these

Search suggestions require JS. Also, why would Google spend the resources supporting the 5 people that block JS when virtually all websites and users rely on JS. This is a nothingburger of a story.

Honestly, JS is such a core part of the web, I’m surprised it took this long.

I still have never been able to see white and gold

Oh, and “other AI CEO agrees, saying just imagine a world where everyone uses our AI, isn’t it wonderful?”

“Company selling AI snake oil claims that they will maybe consider possibly using AI to run their business maybe and not immediately rehire the engineers they laid off only a few months ago, definitely because of the AI and not for any other reason.”

And

“Our custom AI has revolutionized the way we do business and saved us millions! No, you can’t see how.”

I mean, it’s one CPU, Nvidia. What could it cost? $10k?

Thing is, it already was ubiquitous before the AI “boom”. That’s why everything got an AI label added so quickly, because everything was already using machine learning! LLMs are new, but they’re just one form of AI and tbh they don’t do 90% of the stuff they’re marketed as and most things would be better off without them.
