Business insider and Forbes have always been uninformed tabloids

CEOs: “what? Learn from the past?? Psssh.”

I don't think its a coincidence both of these companies are far behind the in streaming wars. Putting their movies in actual cinemas first is probably an attempt to get people to see how good their content is, and maybe lure them into their services.

The article literally addresses Sri Lanka specifically, idiot.

IMF, has lower interest, the problem is their stricter requirements to lend. China has higher interest loans with predatory language in their contract, but more lenient requirements. Sri Lanka is a great example of it.

This is summary from ChatGPT:
>According to an opinion piece, tech giants have increasingly been prioritising their stock prices over their users' experience. In order to generate short-term profits, many have resorted to flooding users' feeds with sponsored content, obscuring genuine search results and over-monetising every customer interaction. While the author acknowledges the explosive growth that characterised Silicon Valley's early years, they argue that the slowdown experienced in recent years has triggered a crisis and prompted a search for a "second magical growth engine" at the expense of their original mission. The best example of this, the author writes, is Meta's pivot to the metaverse and decision to abandon its core product. The article concludes by warning that tech titans should learn from the experience of companies such as General Electric and focus on innovation and delivering what customers want, rather than chasing short-term fads.

I'm sure there are ways to make software handle the encryption rather than the hardware. Guess it's only matter of time.

Another article states they switched from electron to webview.

Are they actually writing a native application? Or still using a shitty electron app.

By “its stuff” do they mean people? If so, I concur

Every time they update teams at work it seems like it is losing features. Used to be you could have two windows open so you could chat on screen one while screen two was the meeting but now it's all in the same window.
I've gone through the settings and can't find anything related to that. But, also, we're on a weird contact for the software so maybe that's the culprit.

When I tried that exact search just now as a test, it wasn't even that bad. The top hits were articles by PCGamer, Tom's Hardware and other tech sites, with titles like "Best Gaming PCs in 2023". Sounds reasonable.
When I turned off ad-block, the top 3 were sponsored. Which is hardly "dominating" the page. So the article is overblowing the whole thing anyway.

>You do réalisé Chinese build these crappy mega projects at huge interest loans that get put through with bribes to their politicians and then the country is in debt to china forever
This Chinese debt trap bullshit has been debunked time and time again. Even the original article about it was written by some random graduate students several years ago with absolutely no knowledge about the deals. When even The Atlantic is publishing articles about how it's a myth, you should probably do some introspection on the amount of propaganda you've bought into.

AI will be the greatest innovation in weapons technology since the atomic bomb was developed. Only this time, the bomb might be able to do whatever it wants.

iirc there's an encryption chip in pixels that most other androids don't have.

He knows that, but he also knows that AI is rapidly developing new capabilities and no one seems to care.
