"As Piltch notes, “it’s pretty much impossible for Microsoft’s AI filter to identify every situation where sensitive information is on screen and avoid capturing it.” The feature is not really ready. But Microsoft is super-keen to promote Recall..."

"...thanks to its more ambitious pricing, Netflix’s subscriber ARPU in Latin America alone is substantially bigger than Spotify’s subscriber ARPU worldwide (including the US and EU): USD $8.40 vs. USD $5.17 per month, respectively."

"...over at Spotify, approximately 60% of those 640 million global users are currently paying nada… because Spotify’s ‘ad-supported’ tier remains completely free."

Imagine this level of AI was around in the Syd Barrett era of Pink Floyd.

"Netflix learned a similar lesson early on in its life cycle: don’t trust what people tell you; trust what they do. Originally, the company allowed users to create a queue of movies they wanted to watch in the future but didn’t have time for at the moment. This way, when they had more time, Netflix could remind them of those movies. However, Netflix noticed something odd in the data. Users were filling their queues with plenty of movies. But days later, when they were reminded of the movies on the queue, they rarely clicked. What was the problem? Ask users what movies they plan to watch in a few days, and they will fill the queue with aspirational, highbrow films, such as black-and-white World War II documentaries or serious foreign films. A few days later, however, they will want to watch the same movies they usually want to watch: lowbrow comedies or romance films. People were consistently lying to themselves."

"Users were outraged at the scrape and further outraged that you had to create a Hugging Face account before you could check if your posts had been scraped and demand their removal." #bluesky #ai

"There is every chance this is a sign of things to come as the company adds AI functionality everywhere it can on Windows."
