Let's expand postal services to include universal banking and daycare.
I am happy to pay $30 a year for USPS Prime, which delivers mail daily to my home
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

This feels like a "*record scratch* *freeze frame* You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation moment."
Zaslav could've just not made a bunch of obviously bad in foresight business decisions in the first place so least worst alternatives weren't the choice now.

There wasn’t a great option for people who love movies and movie theaters. Comcast also owns distribution channels; Skydance makes overtly political moves and has a father-son relationship with Oracle, who has $100s of billions tied up in AI.
feels like a really bad day to be a fan of movie theaters and going to movies in them

Louder for the campaign analytics operation in the cave in the back.
In other words: Let's not let what we study be totally determined by what's _easy_ to study. Can't help but feel like the tail is wagging the dog a lot of times when it comes to survey experiments. Not all of them, of course, but more than a few

One of the things about trust is that it is efficient. It saves you having to invest a lot of time and effort in verification, and if placed in the right places, saves you a lot of pain.

And Plex just blocked remote streaming content from your own server using their software without a subscription.
I think we're gonna learn how badly we fucked up regulating this stuff when the next 10 years turn into streamers and smart tv manufacturers both trying to extort each other for bridge tolls, a version of cable carriage fees on steroids
The streaming giant quietly removed the feature that lets you control content on your TV screen using a mobile device. The company says the feature was not widely used. www.wired.com/story/netfli...

The results would fit a model that says people who don't want to pay or hire someone to do tasks they don't want to or can't do themselves are using AI. Which is probably a lot of the work we'd expect AI to replace.
As many have been saying for a while, sure seems like the “who could AI replace” question has the opposite answer to what the bosses expect
The numbers in here are hilarious.
Do you use AI on the job?
Execs: 87%
Managers: 57%
Workers: 27%
Planned investment by 2030: $5T
"Necessary" annual revenue to justify that spend: $650B
Current annual revenue: $50B
