Ya, I just read this on politico.eu. So much for exclusive, CNN.

reddig33@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•OpenAI board shakeup: Microsoft out, Apple backs away amid AI partnership scrutinyEnglish141·1 year agoI find it bizarre that Apple and Microsoft don’t have their own AI to work with — even if it was just through an acquisition. Too much of a copyright and safety hot potato?

reddig33@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How many views does a Netflix show need to have to be considered a success?24·1 year agoNo one really knows other than Netflix execs. A lot has to do with the cost of the show per viewer. It’s why HBO/Discovery is filling up with reality programming (cheap to produce). You can have a great show and it can end up in the top ten, but if it costs too much to make then the network has to figure out if production costs can be cut. Or if costs can be offset by product placement.
Streamers shifting to ad-based plans also changes things. You can now have a premium program that’s a “loss leader” if it brings in enough subscriptions that also watch the cheap programming and existing back catalog. The additional eyeballs on ads means more cash intake for the network which balances out the more expensive shows.
It’s a fun theory, but weren’t dishes and other artifacts stamped or embossed with “Titanic” recovered from the wreck?

Basically the “password crackdown” markets are subsidizing the new subscriptions where Netflix is trying to gain a foothold. It’s the typical “get ‘em hooked, then start raising prices.”
reddig33@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Netflix Starts Booting Subscribers Off Cheapest Basic Ads-Free PlanEnglish7·1 year agoDo you have any data that shows Netflix didn’t lose subscribers in markets where they cracked down on password sharing? I keep seeing people saying this is the case, but all the news stories I’ve read say that Netflix is only adding subscribers in the cheaper markets (like India and South America).
reddig33@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump raked in big money from foreign nations. Experts fear he'd do it more if re-elected5·1 year agoYes, he will do all the crazy illegal crap he did before, and more. Regrettably, this isn’t going to change anyone’s mind.
reddig33@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•World's largest sodium-ion battery goes into operation - Energy StorageEnglish23·1 year agoI’m talking about putting a sodium ion backup battery in every neighborhood. They don’t make loud noises. And they are great for storing energy produced by rooftop solar panels, easing grid stress, and backing up power when the lines go down.

reddig33@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why are fake laughs added to sitcoms?7·1 year agoMASH had a laugh track that the creators hated, but the network insisted on. As a compromise, they agreed not to use the track during surgical scenes.

It just means you can’t believe a word he says.
