It’s “many” like in “Many people on twitter are saying…” i.e. they found 3 or 4 people saying crazy shit and acted like it was a big thing.

LinkedIn’s blog post on this isn’t at all apologetic, just “the privacy policy already let us do this but we’ve updated it to be clearer.” I was expecting them to say something accidentally went live early or there was some other mistake. Nope, it’s all according to plan. Fuck you LinkedIn.
It’s more about spite at this point
The ribbon was introduced in Office 2007. The backsliding started a long time ago.
The terms of service have now been updated, but ordinarily that occurs well before a big change like using user data for a new purpose like this. The idea is it gives users an option to make account changes or leave the platform if they don’t like the changes. Not this time, it seems.
They should be required to delete their training data and start over after people have had a chance to opt in.
This isn’t just in the US; I’ve got the setting in Canada and I’d assume it’s in just about any country where LinkedIn is available that isn’t on the very short list of exceptions.
To sell a game outside Apple’s App Store, developers must effectively pay a 50 euro cent per user per year installation fee once they reach a certain number of downloads. If developers want to link users to purchases outside the app, they’ll also need to fork out a 10 percent commission on all sales made “on any platform” — including outside of iOS. That’s on top of a 5 percent commission on purchases made within one year of the app’s installation. Then, they’d have to pay any fees charged by the operator of the new marketplace. In Epic’s case, that’s 12 percent — a significant discount on its own, but a major addition once you factor in Apple’s costs.
Checking Apple’s fee calculator, apps that publish exclusively on third party stores don’t have to pay Apple any commission, just the core technology fee. That makes it a bit less crazy, and I don’t think article mentions it. Epic could save itself a lot of money by just not using the App Store but complaining is much more fun for Tim Sweeney.
They needed to have something that might be less appealing than an AI assistant
They’re already demanding search engines pay to search Reddit; will they have to pay even more to search paid subreddits?
A stool test sure, but I’m not going to trust a toilet to use a sterile needle to draw blood.
The article says OpenAI made a deal with Reddit, so blocking Microsoft isn’t going to keep Reddit’s data from getting fed to OpenAI
As opposed to the discs movies are sold on.
Apparently “recordable media” here means the kind you can record on at home, e.g. CD-R, DVD-R.
With any tech that allows the same quality with less data, there will always be someone pushing to cut quality to save even more data.
Why are “addictive feeds” OK for adults?
Its just unreasonable to expect spotify to be able to afford that when they already barely pay musicians.
The audiobooks help them pay even less for music:
With the introduction of the stand-alone audiobooks offering, Spotify is now able to pay lower music-licensing rates for the music-and-audiobook bundle, introduced in the U.S. in November 2023. The 2022 settlement agreement between the National Music Publishers Assn. and streaming services includes a carveout for bundles (such as Amazon Prime and Apple Music + Apple News), which the new audiobook offering falls under. Such plans lower the mechanical licensing rates the company pays in the U.S. Spotify’s lower royalty rates are retroactive to March 1, 2024.
However, NMPA president-CEO David Israelite had strong words for the move when contacted for comment by Variety. “It appears Spotify has returned to attacking the very songwriters who make its business possible,” he wrote. “Spotify’s attempt to radically reduce songwriter payments by reclassifying their music service as an audiobook bundle is a cynical, and potentially unlawful, move that ends our period of relative peace. We will not stand for their perversion of the settlement we agreed upon in 2022 and are looking at all options.” The NMPA and streaming services resolved a years-long standoff over royalty rates with a Copyright Royalty Board ruling in 2022, and agreed upon a new rate of 15.35% for the 2023-2027 period.
Here’s the article; the link in the OP points to a discussion thread.
The chair ought to be questioning whether the company should continue to employ someone who needs that much “motivation”, not urging shareholders to give it to him.
I’ve seen suggestions that the AI Overview is based on the top search results for the query, so the terrible answers may be more to do with Google Search just being bad than any issue with their AI. The AI Overview just makes things a bit worse by removing the context, so you can’t see the glue on pizza suggestion was a joke on reddit or it was The Onion suggesting eating rocks.
My 100GB music library leaves less space than I’d like on a 128GB phone.
