The charges this guy is facing are insane.

*Charged for falsifying his identity and billing info

Posting AI-generated songs is perfectly legal, and there are other people who have made 6 figures doing this without committing fraud

Ilovethebomb ,

Yup, the key difference is their listeners are actually human.

Couldn’t you argue Meta scams investors by allowing bots and AI to inflate their user base numbers?

this is going to be like the Gillette blades

Cephalotrocity , to technology in Musician charged with fraud for inflating streams with AI and bots

That’s 27000 streams/hour. How? Why did this take years to discover? How did this not get automatically detected within minutes?

WTF am I doing with my life if it is this easy to scam 2.4million in a year? 1 year and I could yoink it all and move to some BF island in the middle of nowhere with no extradition and live the rest of my life playing Blackjack and Hookers.

femtech ,

I wonder if they wouldn’t have been caught if they only did 200k a year.

kaitco ,

Getting those Office Space vibes.

I feel that way about ten second dumbfuck GMod videos on YouTube with a million views. Who knew heads in toilets would end up being a worldwide sensation?

I would be scared to drop this thing

Fuck Everything, We’re Doing Five Folds.

The CEO was just conspicuously spotted with one of these a couple weeks ago, looks like it was a marketing scheme as we suspected.

Ravi , to technology in Huawei unveils world’s first tri-fold phone, the Mate XT Ultimate Design

This technology gets interesting, when I can unfold a full 27" 2k screen.

LG has a roll up screen. (prototype). More practical.

Cue the Scroll Phone^TM^.

I can’t even imagine the nightmare UI that would accommodate that type of screen.

Mechanically, I could see a device that has a slide down keyboard and a roll up screen. Functionally, I can’t see how it would be useful for daily smart phone actions like one-handed use or swipe-gestures.

they can make intricate folding devices now.

but making them repairable is somehow fucking impossible.

Tywele ,

It’s not impossible for them to do. They just don’t want to do it.

Gimme a fucking keyboard instead of extra screen size

griffinger OP ,

they actually made one for this and it folds 🫨

oldfart ,

Exactly, if you’re going to add mechanical elements that will break it better be a keyboard

JadenSmith , to technology in Huawei unveils world’s first tri-fold phone, the Mate XT Ultimate Design

I pick the category 'Things no one Asked For", for $25 Mr. Trebek.

Grimy ,

Someone said the same about touchscreen when you were still a kid. If you don’t want it, don’t buy it.

JadenSmith ,

I was an adult when touch screens properly took off, and I doubt this is in the same league.

There was some practical purpose to touch screens, whereas this thing is just unnecessary. I doubt it would have the same effect.

Grimy , (edited )

Having a phone that can turn into an iPad is probably going to get some use.

There is practical purpose to a touchscreen, the fact that short sighted people couldn’t see its usefulness is my actual point.

JadenSmith ,

I’m just saying I don’t think the market is going to be big enough for these models to even get close to emptying shelves. Maybe it’s not the right time, I don’t know, I’m just finding it difficult to see any use where people would find it more appealing than the form factors and devices they already have.
