X just revealed plans to release a smart TV app, which will undoubtedly happen.
A new app for streaming media on smart TVs has recently been unveiled by X. In a more true manner, it asserts that it is in the process of constructing one, but it does not give any launch date whatsoever. “your go-to companion for a high-quality, immersive entertainment experience on a larger screen,” is the mission statement of the X TV, which is aptly called. It is likely that when X refers to high-quality entertainment, he is referring to the video of Tucker Carlson in which he expresses his admiration for the supermarket carts in Russia. I’m not joking about that. A significant amount of Carlson’s appearance may be seen in the short teaser video.

The CEO of X and a marketing robot named Linda Yaccarino makes the promise of “real-time” material and widespread access, but other than that, there is a lack of information of any kind. In addition to boasting about “effortless casting” from a mobile device to a television, there is also some sort of corporate speak bullshit regarding artificial intelligence. I was under the impression that this was a television application. Is it also a mobile application that can be transmitted to a television? Does the phrase “less than half-baked” have an alternative word? Does the raw method work?
Let’s put it another way: we don’t know too much. It is X here. We are only provided with word salads that don’t really signify anything, and then, at some point in the future, the application might or might not present itself. If it does, there is a good chance that it is irreparably damaged. That may sound harsh, but there is a sufficient amount of custard that is loaded with proof to go around. It was provided to us.
During the initial phase of Twitter’s rebranding to X, the business made a promise that the entire platform would soon be “powered by AI.” X did, in the end, develop a chatbot that they called Grok, but it is not exactly the most intelligent algorithm in the shed. Additionally, it does not appear that it will be “powering” the website any time soon. The promise made by Elon Musk that X would soon become a platform for payments and banking has, luckily, not come to fruition. Do you recall when Musk stated that all significant decisions regarding X would be made through the use of user polls? Could you please tell me when the last time you saw one of those was? There is also the continuous blue tick issue that has been going on.
The job search tool that had been promised for a long time finally launched, but it is not especially good. X did, in fact, seek original video material for a period of time; however, it appears that things have slowed down ever since the scandal involving Don Lemon and Elon Musk. In spite of the fact that Musk bought the website two years ago, it is still a long way from being the “everything app.”
The topic of what kinds of information will be streamed on this platform is another inquiry that needs to be addressed. To reiterate, this is X. To be honest, I’m not sure how many people would be interested in sitting on the couch in their living room and listening to a man yell into the abyss about how the video game website Kotaku is destroying the civilization in the United States. According to what was stated earlier, the advertisement focuses on Carlson, which shows that there is a never-ending stream of videos of individuals whining about the word “woke” without clearly clarifying what it means. If you want to call me insane, I’d rather watch actual television.
Oh, hell. YouTube would be there for me even if I chose to watch a video blog about someone who is an impotent rage. It is now available on smart TVs, and it functions perfectly. Everything that Yaccarino has promised will eventually be available on X TV is included in it. Additionally, YouTube can teach you a variety of things, including how to “block” someone by placing a blue checkmark next to their name.
At some point in the near or distant future, X TV might or might not be made available on some or all smart TVs. It might be a real app that is installed on the television, or it could be an app on a phone that can be cast to a television. There is a possibility that it is powered by artificial intelligence. There is a possibility that it will demonstrate “tailored search”; otherwise, it might simply display infinite loops of Jordan Peterson crying. To hell with it, who knows? You should keep an eye out for this most recent shift towards video… or not.
