I don’t see this ending up as anything other than the companies effected increasing their prices to cover themselves (and then some) and then the adjusted revenue being taken as a tax and passed directly to the media industry. We’re just funnelling money to executives that will lobby for more money to be funnelled to them instead of them actually making a product that people want to use

There was a picture a few years back with the chair of the CRTC out for beers with the CEO of Bell - there’s just no chance in hell this money is going to actual people without getting really heavily skimmed by those execs.

This is just corporate welfare for our media corporations. If you think this is going to do anything other than just end up flowing up to the executives of Bell, Rogers, and Telus media then you are mistaken.

I was too late to make the Lua joke, damn

Well your first mistake was using Chrome in 2026

AI being used as a buzzword against open source is so annoying. The attackers who want to break into your software have the same models as the developers writing it.

If you’re genuinely concerned that your code is going to have a bunch of exploits that AI can find faster than previous researchers, then run the models to audit things yourself.

The code was already open, the bugs are visible already. You’re not solving any problems.

Next you’re going to start telling me fire is hot

A man can dream

I was hoping for at least something slightly believable, someone let Gemini write the justification I guess

Okay but, installing an apk is not the kind of thing a scammer does. They’ll just install some standard off the shelf remote access software from the play store

This very much feels like they just needed to come up with a new justification for this process and opted for scammers for some reason. Even though they’re completely disconnected

Yes, developers work at companies that have org charts

If you’ve ever worked in a big company you know that’s not how this is going to work, it’s going to be requested by executives or higher ups that are not involved in art direction at all.

The characters just end up looking like different people and I highly doubt the lighting of the scenery actually looks how the artists somehow originally intended.

Just gotta wait for people to write custom firmware for these things, it’s cool hardware but yeah I’m not going to run a Facebook OS on my own hardware

Don’t worry they didn’t steal his voice, they stole thousands of voices and combined them into one voice that sounds like that one guy. Very different

That guy who was in love with his car was just ahead of the times

OpenAI is reaching the point where they’re big enough that things move slowly. They might have been working on something like this but it was obviously not done because they were thinking about security implications.

The ClawdBot guy did not care about security implications and just shipped a terrifying piece of software because he could

You’re gonna need to sit down for me to tell you about NAND prices

The more I work for tech companies the more I genuinely end up believing that stuff like this being removed is in fact just incompetence at least 50% of the time
