My dad has his whole house wired up with echo dots in every room, voice-activated lights, voice-control TV, and those shitty $100 security cameras in every room. I've tried to explain why he doesn't need them. His response (abou

But advertisements in podcasts are commonly pre-recorded by the podcast host(s) - so the host would still be paid for the advertisement, before it goes online. If the advertiser isn’t given any information about playback at ad time, then th

People riding the bandwagon and generally talking about it like they're in on it when they don't know what a qubit or bell state is (or how to read braket notation). It's a similar line to AI - if the people talk about it lik

That's what I was wondering about. Honestly I was thinking that some sort of integration where content creators could be directly contacted by advertisers - who would pay for in-video advertising by the content creator (this is more fo

Sure, any one company probably will - but there’s a whole market. As soon as that one company abandons the local-first model, a gap opens, which will (usually, eventually) be filled by a new company offering local-first until that new comp
