<p>Is there a dissonance?<p>There is a difference with accepting a "feature" in a product you sign-on to, and having it added behind your back.<p>On one side, gravatar never talked about feeding your profile to AI when he signed up, and never amended TOS or announced  change in that direction (that he received at least).<p>On the other, the new service he use are upfront about it; though I don't use either service, so no idea on the whole package.<p>I personally find value in that.</p>

<p>It's a gaming chip, literally a lower-cost downgrade of an AI chip meant for gamers instead of AI.<p>Why would it benchmarked for AI in these circumstances?<p>Beside, the second page look like those unnecessary AI benchmark to me. I wouldn't recognise such for certain or be aible to estimate their quality, but it's what their summary say.</p>

<p>They should be able to recall a plane for a safety flaw. In which case they have to pay for the upgrade themselves.<p>If the airline doesn't comply afterward, it would be on them.<p>But they didn't issue a recall, so they wouldn't have to pay for the fix, an over 200 people paid the price instead.<p>At least, that's how I read the blame distribution.</p>
