ViscloReader ,

I've spent a good part of my life downloading my music and using mp3 playing apps.
On time I downloaded Spotify to add songs to a shared playlist with friends. I figured I might try the app since I have it installed.

This is the worst music playing app in the world. (I was on free tier) How could anyone see this and think "oh yeah I will pay a subscription to this service". Seriously

ViscloReader ,

Was about to post something about it... Apparently I'm one of you guys :'(

To be fair, I think Weathley is a pretty good representation of what we have right now

At this rate, they'll invent a portal gun

Wikipedia is gauging interest for an extension that uses AI to see if any claim is cited on Wikipedia (meta.wikimedia.org)

A prototype is available, though it's Chrome-only and English-only at the moment. How this'll work is you select some text and then click on the extension, which will try to "return the relevant quote and inference for the user, along with links to article and quality signals"....

While I see this as one of the rare nice use of IA, if the use is just to fact check some text found on the web. It could also just fetch it on the site instead of using an AI.

Might be overkill to use LLMs here I think...

The type of shit you'd see on a movie

Ads🥲

ViscloReader ,

That's horrendous but in their head, having you have an app on your home screen is a constant reminder of their brand. "free" advertisement

Are there any genuine benefits to AI?

I can see some minor benefits - I use it for the odd bit of mundane writing and some of the image creation stuff is interesting,, and I knew that a lot of people use it for coding etc - but mostly it seems to be about making more cash for corporations and stuffing the internet with bots and fake content. Am I missing something...

What's TB?

Yes and no, smartphone where affordable for more people than the vision pro. Also they solved real problem. In the case of the apple iphone, it was a combination of a lot of tools into one small device so that was nice.
The apple vision is just a different VR headset marketed as 10x the price of a meta headset.

Happened to me during an internship, I was really frustrated to install this on my machine.

I trust they'll do a good job focusing on privacy rather than outright going back to "no banner, cookies for everyone!"
