Wait, the music mafia industry is finally getting out-mafia-ed?

There is a friendly warning here from Groq: https://wow.groq.com/hey-elon-its-time-to-cease-de-grok/


Is it safe to say, 4 months later, that Elon is ignoring this? I assume there hasn't been any kind of response or further action taken yet.


> Which is the only valuable thing Twitter (X) has left. reply

They have a very valuable user base (all kinds of world leaders for example), so the data is not the only valuable thing they have.


That’s actually more valuable. Twitters data of small format text is awful for training. Best to just exclude it.

There are hundreds of millions of people on Twitter, and a few of them are very smart. I don’t see how that helps here though.


It doesn't help here. But the person your responding to is just pushing back against the "Elon destroyed Twitter and there's nothing left" narrative.


I don’t see difference here.

Userbase and their social networks and interactions is the data.

They don’t have much value from advertising point of view anymore.


I have not played Fortnite in years, but I am buying the new battle pass.


When they announced usernames I thought I will be able to install Signal on my TV desktop (linux) and send / receive messages from to it (links, files, etc).

Now that I know it still needs phone number I assume it will need to be unique so my use case fails.

For the record, I am still a happy Signal user and a monthly supporter, thank you very much.


There's a contact in Signal called "Note to Self" that you can use for this.


I use Signal this way too. It's great for small messages and files. For larger files, you'd want SyncThing.


Just hair splitting obviously but I don’t think it’s really a contact, it’s just what the recipient shows as when you send something to your own number.


If it is going to be an "everything app", that also includes banking thus the KYC. I presume this is related to financial services, banking, etc.


I guess the Q that bothers me the most is who has access to my activity, when it was accessed and why.


> I can't really outsource much of my support work because it is so technical and specialized.

Yeah, I had a Sidekiq question on StackOverflow and Mike Perham answered himself couple of days later.


Never buying a Sony device ever again. Got one 4,5 years back (3rd one for last 10 years). It had Google TV and I could not pass a screen and use the TV unless I agree a stupid EULA. Had to take it, because ... family, but they made me feel soo stupid.

Pair this with a horrible PS support and Sony is banned for life for me.


Same but for different reasons, mine was an expensive TV with a single core processor and running Android TV, and it was incredibly slow. I remember connecting via adb and watching the volume indicator applet use 100% CPU when trying to change the volume from the remote control and only showing up 10 seconds after pressing the button.


Hmm, I just gave it a try with https://fingerprint.com/ and each time I restarted the browser it says it is my first visit. This is really a nice surprise, as fingerprint.com tends to always recognize your previous visits.

try this one. add a signature and see if it can detect you across sessions.
