Never heard of this company before.

Alex Atallah described his company OpenRouter as the artificial intelligence version of the payments company Stripe. Now Stripe is buying OpenRouter.

The deal, announced on Wednesday, combines Stripe's technology, which lets companies direct payments to other businesses, with OpenRouter's technology, which lets them direct their spending of "tokens" between different providers of A.l. models. Tokens are an atomic unit of A.l. use, roughly equivalent to a word fragment.

I still don't really know what this company actually does. Like a token merchant or something?

Wasn't there a Black Mirror episode exactly like this? Episode 3 "The Entire History of You"

Has EA really made creative games recently though? I'm looking at their recent games list and it's mostly: Madden, EA Sports, The Sims 4 DLC, NHL, Battlefield, Plants vs Zombies, etc. Sequels and remakes basically. With notable exceptions by subsidiary companies like Split Fiction.

Like, if you're going to buy any company, the one where you make almost the exact same game every year and everyone still buys it is probably a safe bet.

Yep. There's been an update, actually; the widower appears to have gotten a financial settlement with NDA and dropped the case. After a 2 year fight with Disney lawyers, that's about as good as you can hope for.

Hopefully he finds some peace, what a horrific way to lose someone.

Sounds like the system needs tweaking to be less disruptive. Maybe with some actual rules on usage and reach? Especially restrictions on alerts during sleeping hours

Wow, yeah, 380V / 1.2A can absolutely be lethal if electrocuted… even in healthy adults. The most dangerous path for the electricity is from the hand or arm, as it can pass through the heart; which of course is exactly where you would grab a person with the glove.

The cognitive friction of a slow PC is like sandpaper to my brain

So much room for ~~activities~~ silliness!

Yeah I used it to manage my finances. In my banking app it just shows up as:
Amazon $24
Amazon $12
Amazon $16

Before, I checked the emails to label and tag the transactions according to what they actually were: electronics, furniture, etc. Now I have to log in and track down that one hidden page that splits your purchases into actual transactions instead of one infinite scrolling list of items, because Amazon will group the purchases seemingly arbitrarily based on it's own shipping algorithm.

They made the entire UX hostile just to spite A.I. users. Not the first time they've done something similar; I'm getting pretty tired of their shit. In fact, I think I'm going to try some alternatives in my country and see if they're better to use.
