I think the word “data” also supports the theory that this is actually about training data for LLMs rather than ad revenue. If it was actually about 3rd party apps, then why not just require all apps to feed the ads? But according to the Apollo developer, there wasn’t even a way to fetch the ads through the API.

I think spez saw what OpenAI/Microsoft were accomplishing using parsed data and got dollar signs in his eyes. The irony is that OpenAI probably already ripped every comment off Reddit up until now, and don’t really need more going forward.

No, they still get burn in. They also aren’t very bright out of the box, and they get dimmer over time. They’re also more expensive than LCDs despite having a limited lifespan. I’ve never been a fan of OLEDs for these reasons and my theory is that manufacturers want to sell them because they have a limited life span so they can sell more.

MicroLED I’m super pumped for though. No clue when we can actually expect to buy them though.
