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.

Sometimes they just do research. Like when their employees made transformers and nothing came of them until Open AI capitalized on it.
They make cool stuff, but they are ultimately an advertising company (as in that's their main source of revenue). So by all means enjoy the cool stuff, just proceed with caution and of course assume nothing is permanent!
I have a feeling this experiment would sooner get the axe than have ads injected. There was initially a waiting list, but just a few days in it was completely open to the public.
