Bread is mostly sliced bread in the US which lasts long. Can be frozen.
Lots of meat / fish is frozen.
Milk lasts for weeks in the store, same at your house (until you open it). I know in France milk is sold in bricks or bottles that aren't even refrigerated.
Most veggies can be frozen. And they weren't picked a couple days before you bought them, they can clearly last a long time.
It's four payments over six weeks. You generally don't pay interest on a purchase with a credit card if you pay it off within six weeks of the purchase.
After the purchase, there's up to four weeks for the statement to close, and then another few weeks for you to pay your balance before you have to pay interest.
But it looks like Klarna accepts credit cards, so I guess this lets you stretch out your cash even longer by combining the two.
I think that will fade. I don't know if you remember how mocked the airpods were when they first came out ("They look like q-tips"). All it'll take is a few celebrities spotted using one and they'll turn cool in no time.
You're not wrong, but I think there's at least a couple of orders of magnitude of awkwardness between the Airpods and the the Vision Pro that will have to be overcome, before the VP becomes mainstream.
There were times when going to an office wearing a T-shirt felt crazy, like going to an office while wearing a bikini, or wearing a clown attire, would be now. It changed maybe in late 1990s.
Things like these change very slowly, then suddenly, once the views of the perceived majority around most people change enough that the people start to see the new state as proper and confirmant, a new norm.
I don't think it will pass, but I think subsequent versions will be slimmer and less mock-prone. In 10 years people will look back at the first version the way people look back at the first bulky cell phones.
When you lie about something serious like saying that the judge in question was locked in jail or that the ex-president Bolsonaro approved a military intervention[0] while millions of people are pissed because their candidate lost an election, that's not just lying. The people telling the lies know it is not true but push it anyway. It is beyond that those people respond criminally for that.
AirPods were widely ridiculed by the press when they first came out. Lots of online comments about q tips and “tech bros.” Idk when or what changed but they became cool a year or so later… not sure about the timing but they weren’t an overnight sensation.
Same for Snap, which is surprising given its reputation:
> Despite their systems’ similar mechanics, neither TikTok nor Snapchat recommended the sex-heavy video feeds to freshly created teen accounts that Meta did, tests by the Journal and Edelson found.
This imo proves that Meta isn't even trying:
> In some instances, Instagram recommended that teen accounts watch videos that the platform had already labeled as “disturbing.”
This could be a very simple toggle, it's disingenuous to blame everything on the "black box" of the "algorithm."
Mostly because Snapchat can't be easily used as a "funnel through discovery algorithms". On the other side of it, it's probably the app where everyone sends their explicit photos to each other, especially within the younger demographics.
Beyond the data, OpenAI is getting access to the most valuable users on the planet. Everyone using this will see that "ChatGPT" is what's used when Siri is not smart enough. It really puts their brand out there in a big way. They want to be a household name, like Google.
It's also smart for Apple because they can slowly improve Siri (one can dream) so that it falls back less and less on ChatGPT. They can also make a deal with Google (Gemini) and others, so that they can start giving users the choice of what LLM to use, which means they can start charging Google or OpenAI another 10Bn++ for being at the top of the list, or being the default choice entirely.
Yes I think I agree. You're describing data startups more than "AI" startups (although of course to investors and prospects they are AI STARTUPS).
If you build a good system to collect hard-to-gather, rich proprietary data then improvements in AI will help you squeeze more and more insights out of it.
