As usual if there is reasonable competition this limits what the established actors can and will do.

Are they under any obligation to ground the value of their own stock or can a salesman simply claim that the "true" value of that stock is much much more than it currently seems to be?

Wrapper around the function call. Don't give it the token itself but a limited set of fixed functions to create domains (their use case according to the post).

Additionally give it a similar restricted way to "delete" domains while actually hiding them from you. If you are very paranoid throw in rate limits and/or further validation. Hard limits.

Yes this requires more code and consideration but well that's what the tools can be fully trusted with.

And also how you work with automation safely.

If you employ a new tech then there need to be extra safeguards beyond what you may deem necessary in an ideal world.

This is a well know possibility so they should have asked and/or verified token scope.

If it turns out that you can't hard scope it then either use a different provider, a wrapper you control (can't be too difficult if you only want to create and delete domains) or simply do not use llms for this for now.

Maybe the tech isn't there just yet even if it would be really convenient. It's plenty useful in many other situations.

That would be really great. Though 3.5 122B is already doing a lot of work in our setup.

And you can require new custom software to be compatible and guarantee an initial market.

It's a strategic decision and of course it's not financially optimal.

And if in 20 years thered still a few windows computers around in their org that doesn't matter

> The problem here is taking "word for word" as "by dictionary meaning", which is never how laws are read.

Back in the days of "smart contracts" and "DAOS" this was something many well-meaning technical people struggeled with. Humans and their societies are flexible and therefore laws must be flexible as well (to a certain degree before it becomes damaging).

It's also why a lawyer/expert is usually recommended when engaged with legal matters: We as layman lack all the context around seemingly "simple" concepts, procedures and definitions. You can learn all of that or hire a professional.

Without being an expert that still seems very unlikely to me.

The epic was written around 2000 BCE which was well over >> 10k years after agriculture and more than 4 times that much after neanderthals died out.

It's possible but much more likely that they refer to something more contemporary. There are always "wild men" around no matter who you ask.

To early to say that but it's certainly a part of the equation all vendors are currently looking at.

And given the past few decades there is no reason to not try to do that.

I just looked it up for Germany[0] and there were a whopping 3 (0.0%) new hydrogen fuel cell cars registered in Februrary 2026. Even LPG cars were more with 397 registered.

For comparison 21.9% were BEVs, 11.5% Plugin hybrids, ~51% pure petrol or non plug-in hybrid, and 14.8% Diesel.

That would be good experimnent and could actually work.

I would love to try it however they would have to solve "global song availability" and "Sponsored songs only Stations".

But if they did try there is the chance of some niche communities forming.

It wouldn't even need to be live to begin with. A narrated playlist with a DJ and basic control functionality such as fading into songs or a voice over.

Not trivial but doable and I wonder why they never tried that.

And will it be by 2030 or ten years later

Or they'll take a look at what, if anything at all,they can use in their workflow as a useful tool not a magic solution.

No need to brag about that.

Selling Shovels is quite lucrative whether there is an actual mining business or just a gold rush.

At one point Jensen Huang will be out (retired or forced by staginating sales) and can definitely look back on a very successful career. That much is certain.

I agree that OpenAI could and most likely will execute quite well on ads.

What I'm uncertain about is how much the ability of Google to set defaults matters.

Setting Gemini as the "AI" on phones, automatically integrated with all "daily" services could matter a lot. They have a platform ready to go and are pushing hard to make themselves really attractive. All while being very profitable.

Apple on the other hand will be in a strong position to negotiate a good deal with competitors to OAI and my suspicion is that "good enough AI" is all most people need.

And of course there is the financial reality that OpenAI does not only need profits, but profits on an enormous scale. Just being successful would mean they missed the mark.

My personal guess is that Microsoft will fully buy them at some point in the future but I'm not, confidence enough to bet any money on it.

Yeah "all bids for government contracts must" is a really powerful sword.

It pushes money into the market, creates skills and business and, crucially can look beyond quarterly profits (for better or worse).

Patents can hold up economic development of certain industries much more than copyright. Which can have huge implications if they are on fundamentals.

For example commercial 3D printing (using FDM) was likely significantly stalled until the relevant patent expired.

Culture is of course important but there can always be new successful Alternatives.

At least the last few times I had those they were announced as "accident with injuries along the tracks" or "People on the track".

It's usually reported (briefly) in the local news.

If it bundles them together into one parcel (while staying under 150€) I read the announcement such that the entire package would get taxed by 3€.

If I recall correctly some of the goals of this are

- to relieve the load on the custom s enforcement agencies by motivating sellers to import and declare goods in bulk.

- to make sure there is someone domestic who is legally responsible for liabilities and other regulations (e.g. for waste and EC compliance). It's easier to force a big company to do something than a 2 person shop in China. There are already laws in the book where the marketplace becomes liable if the actual seller cannot be found.

I believe AliExpress bulk imports much of its wares to EU warehouses already (at least popular stuff). It's not possible for everything but for popular items it's happening more and more frequently.

Yeah I'm mostly confused about their lack of communication.

If they want to do that then, as every corporate "open source", they are free to do so but why not communicate that at least in the release post?

Any potential free user who would consider going paid will now be starting off their relationship negatively.

Really weird strategy.

It's a tragedy, though no surprise, that this is required

I guess "the regulations will continue until product management improves".

We already have stationary or wheeled/tracked "killer cyborgs" that can easily eeeh terminate anything within their reach and it seems like bipedals are well on their way.

The much greater challenge faced by Disney and Co is making "killer cyborgs" child save and cost effective.

Then they will break and wear off quite fast I imagine.

Take a look at industrial cobots (not a typo). They feature rounded corners, have very little to no "finger pinchy areas" and lots of force feedback sensors.

Despite that they still require trained (adult) personal and move very slowly when actually interacting with humans.

That's the price for them being sturdy and precise.

Also this thing can probably be tipped over pretty easily endangering itself or guests.

The character shape lends itself to a low center of gravity but the fluidity of the motion implies light weight or strong motors.

An angsty kid giving Olaf a good shove or kick could be expensive and fast moving robotics are either dangerous or brittle

sounds like it's time to increase their vendor lock in then an make sure they are not as compatible with other solutions.

I fear this would be the obvious conclusion.

Recent comments (and by now published strategy) of the US administration have certainly shifted public and political perception. Not necessarily 180° but enough too make such projects/attempts more viable.

In the end, from a European/German perspective, it matters little whether these thoughts/comments/strategies are a negotiation tactic, "trolling", serious threats or something else entirely. And the fact that "Government adjacent" people like Elon Musk behave the way the do certainly doesn't help.

The fear that the United States may use it's tech companies as blunt offensive weapens does now exist (in a semi-abstract form) where it didn't 5 or 10 years ago.

I think at this point in time nobody can say what the end result will be or how things may develop in the future. Either on the political or the technological field.

There is probably some (or even much) truth to it but it needs to pointed out that this statement comes from the political opposition and is therefore somewhat biased against this project.

Not here (Germany).

HBO isn't available at all on it's own. It's exclusively sublicensed (until the end of this year) to Sky which has a terrible terrible user experience and of course is another subscription.

Two days ago there was an announcement that HBO Max is to start in Germany in January. Let's see how that develops after the acquisition.

I, without proof, think that ofcom will file these letters as "second best outcome" (from their perspective).

Of course it would have been "best" (again for ofcom) if 4chan had just complied but I don't think they ever expected that.

With these meaningless letters (for the reasons you state) the agency can later go to law makers and ask for more domestic enforcement power because clearly "it's not working".

If by chance one of the 4chan people stumbles about that personally they'd consider that as a bonus.

Well the Indian government can consider a law similar to the EU Digital Market Acts that enforces such behaviour.
