LOL, I can just imagine someone installing Ubuntu in their Surface, then seeing that several things don't work. Then they go to this repo, which is "scary" in itself for non-technical people, and then they click on the "detailed installation guide" at https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Installa...
And that's it, they are lost and tired at that point. They will just go back to Windows.
OP told you what he could in a public forum and left out a few things for private. Its only fair.
The incentives are against you. Lower costs lets defendant fight it out longer with less $$ for lawyer. Law firm isn't spending more hours to earn less. So you gotta have a friend with this skill and a vested interest or do the legwork, which OP suggest AI was for him.
I don't agree AI had a significant part to play here. The leverage, whatever it was isn't likely to be public. Certainly wasn't AI as the title suggests.
Speaking as someone who had a passion for journalism and wanted to become a journalist when I was in high school at the end of the '90s, these days I am comfortable with that industry being completely eradicated.
How did we get here? The Telecom Act of 1996 legalized cross-media ownership and an unprecedented degree of consolidation across all forms of media, news and otherwise. Those rules existed to promote local journalism and independent voices. We now have no local journalism and no independent voices that are staffed and budgeted for doing real, investigative journalism.
Now journalists say what their corporate parent tells them to say; the ones who refused were fired years ago. The ones who stuck around work really hard to obscure this fact because they're clinging to their jobs in a declining industry. We went from a press that was the envy of the world to a cartel of decaying shills. Either reform the industry and break up the monopolies or just terminate it and fire everyone.
I wouldn't count Toyota out. Their mega battery plant in North Carolina is coming online this year, and the biggest drag on their current EV/PHEV lineup is the batteries. New EV/PHEV models are on the way, and frankly if they just update what they have with better batteries they will be absolutely phenomenal because they are currently great to drive and run extremely well despite lackluster battery range.
For the PHEVs yes they are battery constrained. They have great products and a ton of demand and difficulty keeping up manufacturing due to limited batteries.
For their EV, they have yet to make something that is competitive. Their EV is slow to charge, slow to accelerate, somewhat short in range, and quite expensive before they started adding—-in some cases five figure—-incentives to move them. It even had a recall for the wheels coming off.
For those who know their stuff, setting up a dedicated VLAN for IoT and putting devices in it based on MAC addresses (allow or disallow lists) is a solid option as well and fun to learn.
I don't even want these devices making outgoing connections to the internet. I have my router drop all outgoing connection attempts from my IOT vlan. I can connect to the cameras etc on there from other VLANs but that's the only way packets get out.
I understand where you’re coming from - have you considered how advances in AI Video generation might pair with a premium headset?
The output from Sora (OpenAI) looks pretty compelling already. I also recently read that Apple is already using AI image generation to create stereoscopic images from any plain old 2D image.
Combine all this together and it’s not impossible to envision (pun intended?) a halfway decent on demand interactive experience.
Kind of amazing to think a holodeck-like experience is in the not too distant future.
In many cases he helped build the bandwagons you're implying he simply jumped onto.
