351·8 days agoNow that they’ve milked the brand dry, my bet is they’ll either:
Let it go bankrupt and walk away with the profits, or
Sell to someone who will use what’s left of the brand’s credibility to drain any remaining suckers hoping for a revival.

161·18 days agoThe pitch MKBHD seemed to settle on was that Google will probably say, “Yes, we’re taking all of your clicks. BUT, when we do finally send someone to your site, it’s a guaranteed sale.”
Which ignores every part of the internet that isn’t trying to sell you something, but it tracks.

Imagine the things he could have accomplished if he and all the people like him had Burlington, Ontario money, instead of “I had to make this out of scraps” money.
Edit: Bringing up Kamkwamba is pointing at a rags-to-riches story and pretending it’s proof the game is fair.

Technology@lemmy.world•'Nature' Retracts Paper on the Benefits of ChatGPT in EducationEnglish
65·1 month ago“Of course, the problem with this form of social media circulation is that all of the details about the study got stripped away,” Williamson said. “All that was left were the major claims, which certain social media users helped boost and propel. All this helped the paper get a huge amount of attention, even though the findings really were not supported by the underlying research at all.”
Williamson has not been alone in such concerns. When the paper was first published, Ilkka Tuomi, chief scientist of the research institute Meaning Processing Ltd., posted on LinkedIn about the pitfalls of such meta-analysis studies attempting to “draw conclusions about incompatible and ill-defined outcomes” from experimental results involving very different populations. “The only reason to do these studies seems to be that statistics and meta-analysis tools can crunch out numbers that look [like] science,” Tuomi wrote.
I don’t want to “attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity,” but this seems like exactly the kind of thing everyone involved in publishing this should have been aware of.
