Looks like this is an opt-in, supplemental crop mode, for streamers who have stuff that would work well for vertical orientations. Talking head stuff, live solo-artist music, etc.
The existing content experience is still there, but if you’re standing on the subway, and you’re watching a streamer react to a press release about a game, you can turn your phone and watch them babble in landscape while you hold the poll.
This is something an LLM can do really well, really easily, with little engineering effort.
The cat is out of the bag. Most of us have a bunch of unstructured comment data that is peppered with references to local weather, policies, sports, etc. Determining what city or what district you live in is, sadly, not hard in this day and age.
This only requires a quick integration and some promo engineering. Assume people are already doing it.
I’m glad this story is finally getting traction.
There is another major reason to do it. Businesses are often in multi year contracts with call center solutions, and a lot of call center solutions have technical integrations with a business’ internal tooling.
Swapping out a solution requires time and effort for a lot of businesses. If you’re selling a business on an entirely new vendor, you have to have a sales team hunting for businesses that are at a contract renewal period, you have to lure them with professional services to help with implementation, etc.
Or just use it like OG ITunes and don’t pay for cloud hosting.
You can still use the music app just like iTunes. You don’t need a subscription.
Apple technically lets you play music directly from iCloud via the Files app, but its functionality is not designed for music listening. It lacks essential features such as playlist management, metadata sorting, or playback queues. While it supports music playback, it’s very limited and overall not a good user experience.
I’m confused. Shouldn’t you be using the music app for all this stuff? That’s what I do.
It’s like half of this shit out often this guy’s mouth is totally legit stuff that needed more attention, and the other half is completely bat shit crazy.
“Processed food are bad.” Yup, not shit.
“Covid vaccines aren’t safe for healthy people.” WTF are you talking about? We have given billions of doses and we know how these things perform.
You got more than one toof? Lucky
Is that “hey” as in “Hey, I think this legislation is stupid, but yes, I never drink water and bathing my teeth in high pH drinks all day long”
Florida is replacing the fluoride with citric acid and splenda.
Fucking lol. 6 weeks ago the brand team just changed all the brand colors again. They went from purple back to black.
Somewhere in NY there is a sign company making a shitload of money swapping signs off the HBO building every few weeks.
So is this going to be like the other green card holders - someone that publicly criticized the government and then got snatched by the brownshirts?
Fake money, fake death, real douche.
“America’s reigning Hide & Seek champion retires”
The hostility with England has a big role in “American” sticking. It used to be a general term for any European colonist coming over to the Americas, but when British colonists started getting more and more pissed at the homeland, they started embracing that general term more and more.
This stuff always looks a little weird in a vacuum, but if you playback the tape and get familiar with the history, it makes a lot more sense.
It makes a lot more sense if you look back at what the colonies were called when the name was adopted. It’s really just a holdover from a naming solution that wasn’t very weird during the time that it was introduced. Language evolves in weird and funky ways.
It’s one of those things that made sense at the time, but looks a little weird if you don’t account for the history.
Folks living in the British colonies wanted to differentiate themselves from the English, so they called themselves “Americans” because they were in the “American colonies.”
The name stuck after the colonies became the United States.
Well, there’s your problem
