Same for me. I've been using YouTube for long enough that my over decades curated subscription feed is my primary source of both entertainment and learning, and while I'm successfully degoogling all other aspects of my life, this one will be hard.
Please take them, they are awful.
Truly shocking that the all-in pivot to GAAS would end up spectacularly failing, surely no one saw this coming.
At least Jim Ryan is gone now.
The quality of the product completely aside, I would suggest it is your moral duty to not do business with corporations where the CEO can publicly throw sieg heils without repercussions when there are other choices available.
The fuck are you doing Norway, hold the line.
Thank you.
I read them all, hated them, and spent a good week finding negative reviews so I could fume at them in company.
Absolutely pathetic Tim. Pathetic.
There is a indirect cost to superficially placating him as well, since you're helping him build the image of himself winning every negotiation, but yes, I agree this is also a valid option.
Unless there is some truly apocalyptic behind the scenes geopolitics realignment on the table here, we must cut them off. Call their bluff. Europe must have the courage to say that enough is enough. Yeah, short term we might have some price turmoil (again), but we can't live like this.
I think most of us can agree that, ethical concerns about training data or energy cost aside, some use cases of LLMs are unproblematic given that you are actually validating the output. Meeting summaries, text manipulation, etc.
The real problem here is that Kristersson seems to have used it in more dubious ways, "asking it for advice". Depending on the specific LLM used this makes his use rank anywhere between "somewhat problematic" and "catastrophic".
Absolutely unacceptable and ridiculous.
Did the same move recently and am currently using qobuz. Higher price aside, it's great and I think worth it.
My one caveat is that the android app has something seriously wrong with it where one of my two phones battery drain like crazy, and a search indicates this seems to have been a recurring issue for years...
