How could this possibly be better than Netflix’s recommendation engine or even just asking chatgpt?

At least they did not become the unabomber?
Ok I see a lot if discussion on this topic but no one seems to have mentioned the main feature of the spec that makes them phishing resistant: presence detection. This is what makes FIDO resistant to credential replay. The spec is not perfect but it prevents most common phishing attacks.
TP Link is just as bad at security as most other consumer electronics vendors:
That makes sense. It is interesting to read the original blog post from Wikimedia:
https://diff.wikimedia.org/2025/10/17/new-user-trends-on-wikipedia/
and what they say you can do if you want to help:
"Active volunteers can further help meet this moment by working with Wikimedia Foundation teams to test out new experiences and tools on Wikipedia. As the internet changes rapidly, this is a moment to consider what parts of Wikipedia should change (and what parts should not), while staying true to the promise of human-centered, free knowledge for the world.
A specific area where volunteers can help is with our new readers teams. We welcome you to review the current experiments we are running and help us answer key questions about what will most help readers. Please join the readers teams on their talk page and sign up for their newsletter to share your thoughts and learn more about their work. We’ll also be reaching out to communities soon with both live and on-wiki ways to talk about these trends, and what they mean for the Wikimedia projects."
Every time someone visits Wikipedia they make exactly $0. In fact, it costs them money. Are people still contributing and/or donating? These seem like more important questions to me.
There is definitely a bubble. But also what Nvidia is doing is smart. They have boatloads of cash. They are investing that cash in the companies that are using their products to create money making services. If one of them can create a killer app or viable service this will create demand for their products and they will have an ownership stake in it. Is this guaranteed or even likely? Probably not. We have reached the point where we were in 1996 where the chairman of the fed came out and said we are in a period of "irrational exuberance." That bubble took four more years to pop. This one may end quicker, but it is impossible to tell when it will end or what will come out of it from where we sit today.
This is stupid. As an IT administrator a quick glance at my logs shows that everyone is using ChatGPT. No one cares about Copilot.
edit: So I guess the point is that IT admins are frustrated that Copilot for users in an org is $30 per month vs $10 per month for a home user. Again, I don't buy it. If I think of all the ways MS is screwing me, this is not high on the list. Microsoft's predatory bundling practices have driven the cost of their services to a ridiculous point, well before this Copilot noise.
The reality is it will take some disruptive force to alter the status quo. Maybe the government splitting up tech giants, maybe some public backlash to current events or maybe we will be invaded by aliens. Whatever it is, I will be waiting here on the Fediverse to welcome any and all who wish to join. Now having glimpsed a world free of invasive spying and constant manipulation to buy more stuff, I will never go back.
