Every company does that in this world, but part of the arrangement was for the product/service to increase in quality/quantity. They grow bigger by being better, and can use that bigger to get more better.

Absolutely the problem. They’ve stopped trying to make fun and started trying to exploit psychological weaknesses and hijack our internal reward systems to rinse us of both time and money.
Fun is no longer the driving factor, and it makes me feel not quite angry or nauseous, but somewhere around those emotions.

We buy them, then wait a week for them to soften up, forget we bought them, discover the vinegar and flies in a month.

Absolutely it is. Thats where we got the phrase “kicking them upstairs” from. Promote the useless guy to a position where they can’t actually do any damage.
If AI succeeds in replacing a lot of those “positions”, we’re going to face a tsunami of idiots.

Im counting on them fucking it up. Im hoping I can ride the groove between “dont want to play 1 because 2 is out” and “dont want to play 2 because it sucks”
In that way I may finally be free of this addiction.

Theres good reasona for luddite behaviour “they tuk er jerrrbs” style. Theres good reasons for environmental impact. Theres good reasons for fear of privacy, and cyberpunk dystopian overlords forming, and possibly terminators, and anger over theft of intellectual property etc, the fact that you didnt ask for it and its happening to you anyway, the effect its having on the hardware market for home computers/gaming, the fact that its not actually reliable yet.
Theres a lot going on in that space.
You’re right though its pretty incredible, and im still impressed by it, but I dont want to use it because i know it’ll be wrong a lot of the time. The only thing I’d want to use it for is to help me with things I dont know, and in that space I dont know that its doing it wrong. Either I blindly trust it and fuck up my project, or I research everything myself as well to make sure its right and at that point why bother?
- Comment on Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems. 6 days ago:
Im coming at it conceptually rather than a place of actual industry knowledge, but games of yesteryear were incredibly clever, pulling off all sorts of crafty hacky bullshit to get their games looking good on pretty low-end basic gear.
I’m not sure if that sort of thing is feasible or possible today, but I’m hoping it’ll push some of the bigger brains to find out. Necessity is the mother of invention and all that.
- Comment on My father the tween literary critic 6 days ago:
Different parents have different sensibilities i guess, and different books have different contexts. I’m not very well read in this field at all, but at the beginning of one of the Tiffany Aching series of Discworld books, a subseries wrote specifically for young adults, a 13 year old side character gets beaten by her drunken father into a miscarriage after he found out she had a boyfriend and the main character has to bury the remains and saves the father from hanging himself.
Most of the series are Harry Potter level magic and adventure, but that was pretty shocking and I’d be a bit wary letting my 12 year old read that.

I’m tired of international politics that have caused and consequences far beyond my meagre understanding. I’ll go to shitposting community and laugh at dogs wearing socks. Maybe there’ll be a new spongburb adventure.

I think at some point it just decides youre getting brainrot.
My toddler is responsible for about 99% of my youtube shorts viewing. I ask for a topic, it shows me about 5 relevant videos in a row, and then skibidis the tungtung.
Never have I ever seen it show my toddler anything I’m even remotely interested in.
