He did it again 😂 just killed another OpenAI wrapper startup and I am glad someone is calling out stupid products youtube.com/watch?v=ddTV12hErTc

@nixCraft Don't sell him short.

He also killed an automaker that thought triple-A video game development was a good model for creating a car. :meowuwu:​ Just patch it in later, baby.

@Rusty @nixCraft
No He did not.

Unfortunately my source is...
- from YouTube -> youtube.com/watch?v=iS3Ext2K8p
- and in German

But generally speaking: The company was in ruins long before he reviewed and posted anything about it.
it did not even gave the final blow...
I could even say his review was still very calm and objective with some light overtone that they MIGHT be able to fix all of this via the 2.0 Software update (Spoiler: they didn't)

@someone_else @nixCraft It was a joke :neofox_what: A bad review doesn't tank a car company, that company was already doing really bad.

@Rusty @nixCraft
My bad. Not every level of communication traverses over the wire/air perfectly 😅

@nixCraft I got confused for a sec, due to the last 'controversy' about this AI pin thing: i thought he already reviewed thing thing, but I just mixed up the two very very similar products.

@nixCraft dafug? Why would anyone buy such a device?

As an App/Service on your phone? Maybe. But why to make a separate device out of this? Just to make it les obviously for people that this is (probably) just a wrapper for ChatGPT or any other AI service?

@nixCraft Won't someone please think of all the people the c-suite was going to lay off?

@nixCraft You might say it was due to a self-inflicted wound. He's just putting them out of their misery.
