And the tools to emulate the good parts of streaming with a home setup have never been better.

No, the data will influence the model.

Some of the data may be found in the model itself (i.e. the AI generated images outputting mangled author signatures from the original works that were used during training) but not in the traditional form of a database. You can't directly retrieve that data back in its original form even if some models can be coerced to do something similar.

It's basically a statistical model built from training data.

The training of these huge models also cost a fortune. Allegedly in the millions of $ in a data and processing-intensive process.

"AI" doesn't use databases per se, they are trained models built from large amounts of training data.

Some models run fine on small devices (like the model running on phones to make better pictures) but others are huge like Open AI's LLM.

Having "AI functionality" doesn't mean they can just get rid of their big/expensive models they use now.

If they are anything like Open AI's LLM, it requires very beefy machines with a ton of expensive RAM.

While a bunch of NSA spies groan as (probably) a perfectly good vulnerability they paid top dollar for, dies.

Would be easier if set on its own dedicated track.

Something like... a slightly slower Hyperloop! At those speeds, the "pods" wouldn't need to run in a pressurized tube. I'll name it "OKLoop".

More like "massive con" I'maright? badum tss

It wouldn't be in Google's interest to kick users out. Kicking apps out? Sure, that's how YouTube Vanced died.

ReVanced smartly dances around the rules.

I can already imagine the YouTube grifter videos: "Make XXXX$ per day on Reddit with AI with only 10 minutes of work!".

"Good old" faking confidence beats actual competence. Or at least in marketing, it tends to break to bits when you have to actually do something useful.

Western VCs wished they could have their shitty app being mandatory.

Look at El Musk and his "X app" obsession. He wants it so bad he burned the brand he paid BILLIONS to acquire just to chase his everything app.

Or one person swipes for his buddies.

From the logs, these guys are really in sync.
