“It’s like chatgpt but it only prints replies on physical paper so it’s a premium experience, and the ai is expressive so it will use delightfully colorful, full page background images for its replies.”

I’ve been in an acquisition like this. I feel for anyone who has their startup work dismantled by an acquisition just looking to hire and squash their product.

Yeah, that's sad, but in this case the product itself squashed the startup, not HP.

[fauxliving@lemmy.world]

It prints in white text on a black background

The product was a failure long before HP got anywhere near it

And yet still refuses to print when the cyan cartridge is low.

The pin will be reconfigured to notify you when you need to buy more ink.

Me: “Hey, HP Assistant, why is the black-and-white page not printing?”

Printer: “Our cutting edge AI predicitive algorithm forecasts increased yellow ink usage in the future, so please renew your subscription now.”
