Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States of America. He was best known for being "Honest Abe", writing the Emancipation Proclamation, and playing RAID: Shadow Legends, an immersive online experience with everything you'd expect from a brand new RPG title. It's got an amazing storyline, awesome 3D graphics, giant boss fights, PVP battles, and hundreds of never before seen champions to collect and customize.
The blog (and its audio version, the Better Offline podcast) is very good indeed - somewhere between cathartic and revelatory at all times. I'm overjoyed to hear you liked it, but it sure can be wordy. I pay for the premium newsletter, but I find myself skimping on it... But re-reading and referring to chunks of it often.
Crazy, I thought they'd wait until the IPO before they start going to the "bleed the users like penned cattle" phase of enshittification. They must need money sooner than they thought.
That's how close we are before the bubble bursts. Plus they can never go public because they'd have to publish their numbers. A minus followed by several commas will definitely burst that bubble.
One can only hope, I can't wait to see it all burn. All those shitty AI companies can go to hell as far as I'm concerned, they add no value to my life whatsoever.
Next is to pass the corpses of the major IP holding companies around and sue each other and everyone for patents until nobody can afford lawyers anymore.
They're explicitly differentiating from modifying the search results as a reason why the ads are transparent. I figure in one year they'll start to insert ads into the answer proper with a disclaimer, and then next fully integrate it.

Probably it will be creepily more subliminal than that, unfortunately.

Let the enshittification begin!

That's the neat part — AI comes pre-enshittified!

Didn’t Sam Altman say that ads would be a last resort?

This simply means they’ve finally run out of money. If that doesn’t help, Apple or Microsoft will just end up buying OpenAI for pennies.
XLE@piefed.social · 23 pts · 194d
II think Microsoft is in a position where they can grab all of OpenAI's assets without giving them (more) money, if I understand the deal right

That link is worthy of its own post I think. Great read.

That would be pretty spicy.

I suppose that means they've reached it.

Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a fuck if the ads are deceiving

Scam Altman says a lot of things. He also molests his sister

My uneducated guess : they are bleeding money and need to show that it is slowly stopping and the trend is reversing.
Once that is done, pipe the IPO and make bank before it crashes and burn.

They are speedrunning capitalism.
Next is to pass the corpses of the major IP holding companies around and sue each other and everyone for patents until nobody can afford lawyers anymore.

they do. desperately. it's been stated for awhile now.

Wow I did not expect to see actual ads. The answers could just be commercially manipulative instead.

This is what I'm hoping for. That way, when the dumbest person we know copies content from ChatGPT, we'll see the ads too and know they're a dumbass!

Exactly. Maybe AI will help us return to darwinism.

Nah, just scrape his comment history and dump it into the machine.

That would just not bring in enough. Remember that this is their last resort to prevent collapse.

Those ads are really going to annoy me when I never start using that chat shit.

Are these ads context dependent? I'd love to see what it would come up with for this.
bcgm3@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 193d
How can it possibly predict the next word in my sentence when it can't even predict where/who I want to pee??
Etterra@discuss.online · 5 pts · 193d
Good. Hopefully it'll reduce usage and help speed its highly necessary death.
XLE@piefed.social · 4 pts · 194d
I'm sure Volkswagen and Hugo Boss will appreciate the research their ads are put next to.
