It's hard to tell when he's genuinely miserable because his face always looks like that.

I think even the text prompts are unprofitable. Sam Altman said so once, even for paid plans. I wonder if they're still in danger of bleeding themselves dry. One can dream.
I hope the real reason is that they're running out of money to try new features. But some of their stated reasons, like their AI age verification sucks, aren't so bad either.
...Actually, OpenAI has a suspicious number of reasons why they can't do adult mode. I think they protest too much.
To be fair to Dell, Apple's high-resolution displays might have toned-down resolutions too. The Mac Neo ships with a lower default resolution than what it can fully handle, if I understand the settings right.
On a Telegram group chat. In other words, in plain text on a popular social network.
Regulators, take note about how encryption isn't preventing you from finding crimes. (As if the Epstein emails weren't enough evidence.)
I was recently encouraged a little by a lawsuit Meta lost that was based on the fact they were knowingly collecting too much data on a minor. The obvious solution is they should be more responsible with what they have (and probably start removing it), but their ideal solution is probably more data collection + focusing their abuse on vulnerable people who aren't legally protected from it.
The least expensive current-gen MacBook after the Neo is $1100 (less if you buy a previous generation, which is apparently common practice); the Dell in the article is $1750.
Apple's other products are expensive, but this is a whole new level of it.
Starting at $1750, they're ~~competing with~~ surpassing Apple in the price department
(Edit: added right price)
I consider the most damning part to be the fact that they have so much data to abuse to begin with. Of course, you're probably right, and that's how they'll try to spin it.
Mike Masnick is on the Bluesky board of directors. Could this position be affecting his judgment on this specifically? because usually I expect Techdirt and Mike himself to be much more reasonable.
