X just announced a smart TV app for streaming video<\/a>. Or, more accurately, that it claims it's building one, with absolutely no launch date mentioned. The appropriately-named X TV wants to be \u201cyour go-to companion for a high-quality, immersive entertainment experience on a larger screen.\u201d By high-quality entertainment, X likely means that one Tucker Carlson video where he\u2019s really impressed by grocery carts in Russia<\/a>. That\u2019s not a joke. Carlson is featured prominently in the little teaser video.<\/p>\n X CEO and marketing robot Linda Yaccarino<\/a> promises \u201creal-time\u201d content and wide availability, but other than that details are scanter than scant. There\u2019s some corporate speak nonsense about AI, of course, and boasts about \u201ceffortless casting\u201d from a mobile device to a TV. Wait, I thought this was<\/em> a TV app? So it\u2019s also a mobile app that casts to a TV? Is there another word for less than half-baked? Does raw work?<\/p>\n In other words, we don\u2019t know much. This is X. All we get are word salads that don\u2019t really mean anything and then, one day, the app may or may not actually appear. If it does, it\u2019s likely to be hopelessly broken. That sounds harsh, but there\u2019s plenty of proof-laden pudding to go around. We got receipts.<\/p>\n Back when Twitter first rebranded to X<\/a>, the company promised the whole thing would soon be \u201cpowered by AI.\u201d X eventually did create a chatbot, Grok, but it\u2019s not exactly the sharpest algo in the shed<\/a>. It also doesn\u2019t look to be \u201cpowering\u201d the site anytime soon. Elon Musk promised that X would soon become a payments and banking platform, which thankfully hasn\u2019t materialized. Remember when Musk said that all major X decisions would be conducted via user poll<\/a>? When was the last time you\u2019ve seen one of those? There\u2019s also the whole ongoing blue check fiasco<\/a>.<\/p>\n
