      Everyone has a price. My price is many many times higher than whatever money they’d make back selling my data and advertising to me.

    They probably just asked ChatGPT, who said their idea was fantastic and would sell really well.

    Would be real funny if they made a built in Ai with root access for it… Totally not disastrous.

    AI companies have some of the worst projections ever conceived of by human minds. Im not remotely surprised they conned so many investors with them.

      My one coworker is an AI shill and I love reminding him that this is gonna be the dotcom bubble all over again. He was an adult when the dotcom bubble burst and apparently he had invested a lot into shit back then lmao. I was a kid so I didn’t even know what an economy is.

      Totally thought the last line was going to be:

      “for this phone to flop”

      Either way, good poem.

    I genuinely cannot believe that they think this is a good idea. After their whole Sora thing failed, you would think they would have gotten wiser, guess that’s not the case. I cannot see a world where this thing do anything, but flop. Maybe they will sell them at a lost, but, even then, I have doubt that it will succeed.

      I genuinely cannot believe that they think this is a good idea.

      They probably don’t care if it fails. I imagine that on some level it’s just a high tech version of The Producers.

      The owners make this announcement then start to harvest piles of money from gullible investors. Once they rake it all in, they piss it all away on their own paychecks and benefits packages as well on payments to suppliers and consulting firms. Of course, the same people also own the suppliers and consulting firms so all that money goes into their pockets as well. And it probably works out better if the product bombs because then those gullible investors won’t expect to see any profits.

      Oh, my bad. It was always a possibility that it would not get big sales. You’re right we should stop it before it gets a bigger flop.

    An official member of the US military industrial complex is making a phone with a proprietary OS that hoovers up your data and shoves AI slop in your face 24/7. What’s not to like?
