It's a combination of sunk cost and FOMO.

These dictatorship types always earn so many medals. How do they do it? These guys are so heroic they ran out of space at the top and are now decorating their pants, too! I guess each has single-handedly saved the nation at least fifty times over or something.

The floor doesn't get that hot. It would immediately turn into a disgusting swamp, though I guess someone who builds this wouldn't use water anyway.

Positives ... Good AI features

Negatives ... No 4K recording on all lenses

Some people just have different priorities.

Proper grayjay integration. Though last time I tried peertube, there wasn't much to watch anyway.

Think this is a realistic prediction or just being used to hype up investors? in c/[email protected]

People hype dumb shit even when they don't gain anything from it.

“Immensely disappointing”: Nike killing app for $350 self-tying sneakers

It is hard to imagine that there was not someone inside of Nike that lost their faith in humanity when the pitch for these things was originally taking off.

McDonald’s Gives Up On ‘AI’ After Comedy Of Errors, Including Putting Bacon On Ice Cream (www.techdirt.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/16955080

LLMs certainly hold potential, but as we’ve seen time and time again in tech over the last fifteen years, the hype and greed of unethical pitchmen has gotten way out ahead of the actual locomotive. A lot of people in “tech” are interested in money, not tech. And they’re increasingly making decisions based on how to drum up investment bucks, get press attention and bump stock, not on actually improving anything.

The result has been a ridiculous parade of rushed “AI” implementations that are focused more on cutting corners, undermining labor, or drumming up sexy headlines than improving lives. The resulting hype cycle isn’t just building unrealistic expectations and tarnishing brands, it’s often distracting many tech companies from foundational reality and more practical, meaningful ideas.
