In place of the Chromecast, the company will offer the newly announced $99.99 Google TV Streamer,

They're replacing it with a very similar product. Nothing to see here.

A more expensive, clunkier product, with a bunch of needless fluff in it.

For which they will be able to offer subscriptions in a year or 2.

Now with AI!

I'm not sure why they didn't just call it the chrome cast gen whatever though.

I wonder how far away we are from AI being able to create video on demand like that?

I think overall it'll never be able to create quality entertainment.

But Ow! My Balls! isn't quality entertainment. I'm sure it can create all kinds of clips of things smashing into groins for ultra low-brow entertainment. Probably today.

Shitposting is one area where I have no issues using AI.
