1·1 year agoIf true this is really bad news.
1·1 year agoBetter UX. Which it did. Was the primary card I have been using.
But if move to Amex that will end that. Amex is worthless if you travel and I travel 50% of the time. Mostly SEA.
That was the rumor. BUt lets hope that does not happen. If does then I can’t use it any longer.
I live half my time in South East Asia and Amex is not taken there at 90% of places.
Please do NOT switch to American Express. I travel a lot and AmEx is worthless in South East Asia.
We replaced ours with Google WiFi and been very happy with the results.
The Google WiFi is a mesh solution which is really the way to go in 2023, IMHO.
I totally agree with you. It was done to stop the sliding share price of Microsoft. Which is why it was a smart move as it accomplished that.
The average person is completely clueless. I have been watching CNBC this morning and it is hard to watch because I keep getting into laughing fits.
Smart move by Microsoft. But I will be curious to see how long Sam and Greg last?
It is going to be completely different for them. They are not going to have anywhere near the autonomy they enjoyed at OpenAI.
But this entire episode is a bit mind blowing.
One thing I find interesting is that Alphabet had two AI competitors. Cruise and OpenAI.
Both companies look to have self destructed. Cruise CEO resigned over the weekend.
In both cases it looks like it was about safety. AI is so different from other technologies.
There is such a huge safety aspect. It could be we will see a lot of stuff like this. Where people with AI thought they could move fast and break things and found out they really could not that someone is watching and not going to let them.
Surprising. But it is not just Apple. Look at Amazon and Meta also being really bad.
Google and Microsoft doing much better.
Sam’s slimmy behavior caught up to him.
It is pretty rare to just abuse one person. Brockman is also now out. Three senior researchers also just quit.
I can’t believe it took this long. Google is releasing their fifth generation of their TPUs.
They started on it in 2014 or 9 years ago.
Curious what financial benefit is there to making it have 25% less memory bandwidth?
Is it to drive consumers to a more expensive product?
I get they have 25% less bandwidth. But why?
Is there any reason to move from Google Keep to it?
Trouble is I use a lot of different devices and not all of them are Apple.
I have my doubts. I feel like this type of rumor happens pretty often and does not play out. Things like the car and TV, etc.
I just do not see how Apple does not cannibalize with the offering. If they do they should probably more focus on certain markets.
So maybe only market them to K12 and specially the US. Another market would be developing countries versus the US.
Honestly anyone but AmEx would be fine. I travel a ton and AmEx would make it so I do not use my Apple card any longer.
There are so few places that take it in SEA.
