And payment sharing will most likely be a percentage of revenue and right now their biggest hurdle is just scaling, and it's incredibly rare that a startup with huge demand completely fails because of scaling challenges. Once they scale their profit margin will be huge, they'd be able to do payouts and still profit. But don't get excited about payouts, it'll probably amount to pennies like it does on Spotify.

MS is basically getting a ton of equity in exchange for cloud credits. That's a ridiculously good deal for MS.
Also, their biggest expenses are cloud expenses, and they use the MS cloud, so that basically means that Microsoft is getting a ton of equity in a hot startup in exchange for cloud credits which is a ridiculously good deal for MS. Zero chance MS would let them fail.
Basically every in app browser is.
I feel like there has to be some clever use case, but I've got nothing
It's not the kind of material that can start interested for more than 1 minute straight. The comics are fine when they're spread out to a gag every day or so
I don't think the news story is that Mattel is losing a little money from a small market. I think the news story is the oppression
The only thing Russia and the USSR they have in common is the facism
Judging by the posts I see on nextdoor people with homes are ridiculously paranoid too.
That's the only thing I'm interested in the game for
I view the problem as us treating a tool as a system of government. Capitalism is an incredibly powerful tool for increasing efficiency (real capitalism as in a healthy free market, not monopoly bullshit). But we should be using that tool to our benefit, not having that tool use us. We can use it as a tool without it being our basis of society. Also, capitalism is not self regulating. That's a bullshit myth created by elite monopolists. Unchecked capitalism leads to monopolies and monopolies are the antithesis of capitalism. We used to know that. We used to bust monopolies. We need to learn when and when not to use capitalism. Certain things need to be monopolies. Like transportation and the power grid. Since healthy competition cannot prosper we cannot make them capitalistic. We already need to recognize that capitalism is a tool for us to use. It's ok to break capitalism in special circumstances for the greater good, because the good of the people is more important than perpetuating capitalism. I think abolishing it leads to apathy and inefficiency, but worshipping it leads to inhumanity, and we're not even worshipping it properly because again, monopolies are not capitalism. Like all things in life it's about balance.
What's legal changes. There will absolutely be new ai focused laws enacted just like there were internet focused laws once the Internet became very impactful. We simply have no idea how this will play out. Whatever new laws are passed will definitely not kill ai though since it's a big business and us law makes will want ai companies to thrive so those services can be exported. People acting like ai will die for legal reasons are completely off base.
