So US Ai schizophrenia kills an American company and you’re hoping two Chinese companies (one of which the US has banned on fabricated accusations) take its place. Man, what a timeline

Americans slowly discovering this isn't the 80s anymore and that China is beating them at their own game, delightful

Not everybody on HN is from US or takes patriotic loyalty over tech. Purely on tech, those are better. In 2015 GoPro was better - for a while the only real game it town. But they did stupid moves, and missed obvious plays.

GoPro has been squandering their lead for like 15 years.

I feel like I heard this same rumor a decade+ ago.

Not a rumor when announced on a public market, but it's not the first time they've been perceived as a precarious has-been.

[coldtea]

They've been a has-been for the last 5 years at least. They didn't go under, but still lost the title and tons of market share to DJI and 360

[rconti]

They can be a precarious has-been without being actually bankrupt.

[nikisweeting]

I don't care what country they are from if after 15 years they cant figure out how to make a camera that doesn't reset its clock every time you recharge it.

> US Ai schizophrenia

I bought an Insta360 before the AI mania because the software was simpler, price cheaper and reviews around build quality more positive.
