A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

They also had a wiff of NFTs letting them sell and claim royalties on JPEGs. This isn't about some grand vision if humanity's future, it's about becoming the next Silicon Valley billionaire, or dethroning the richest man in the world. If the next big tech get-rich-quick scheme comes along, the novelty of their very expensive autocomplete and JPEG mashup projects will be dead, and they'll take their dollrs on to the next fad.
Citation-fucking-needed.
I didn't say anything about a grand vision. And this has little to no connection to NFTs, other than the usual hyped tech investors.
That's my opinion. You don't have to agree. You also don't have to be obnoxious.
