Whisper definitely blows AWS Transcribe out of the water. And, it's free. So nice.

Except execution will be subpar, as it always is. - Why pay for Alexa 2.0 when you can get an alternative for free? - How to get people to do more than the bare minimum of music, n…

AGI Alexa is truly a work of innovation. It gaslights you into thinking you wanted hippopotamus.

Decent take. I will say there is a huge missing piece in which teams/orgs would strategically kill each other's products, to try and show that their "version of Alexa" was better t…

Indeed.

It's been this way for some time. Same with Woot. Both Zappos and Woot used to be cool. After Amazon acquired them, they just sit and rot. Wish the FTC would do something about thi…

you are confirming I didn't make this account today. thanks. what does what mean?

IMO, people want corporations like Apple to facilitate art by humans, not crush it with AI and effectively replace humans. It appears this is just an outlet for the legitimate frus…
