I have the feeling that we'll all go extinct but some tribe deep in the Amazon will survive and they'll initiate a new civilization, that will unavoidably give birth to their own Mark Zuckerberg, and so the circle of society building and collapse will begin anew

Social media is fucking with EVERYONE. Making the whole society feel miserable. Losing real friends, and gaining fake friends. Psychologists have been warning of this for the past decade and we're ignoring all flags and doing a social collapse speedrun like there's no tomorrow. At least we...

Please let me ammend that for even more Musk tantrum: "Elon Musk, Baby Killer, owner of Twitter"

The key nuance is you can resell it! That's the entire difference, and a huge one. Thing is, the Switch 2 has some speedy storage and games will be much bigger than the original console. The cost of the cartridges is just unsustainable. This is IMHO a very elegant solution to keep providing a...

Let's not be so naive as to think Google will backport all the new AI-features and will not make an excuse for wich only the Pixel 10/11 can have them... When it comes to forced obsolescence, Google, Apple and Samsung are all in the same boat. And the new AI features are an essential part of...

We should have a graph adjusting for inflation and percentage of available income free to spend in videogames My dad bought a house and paid it in three years. My mortgage ends in 2047 and takes 1/3rd of my income, and I'm quite privileged in that regard. It's not a matter of games costing...

Two points, sales tax being included in Europe (And widely 21%) means 80€ games are 66€ + Tax and in US are $80 + Tax in case we need to compare the net revenue for Nintendo. Not judging here. I just think it's an objective way to look at it. Second point is, yes, games were expensive in the...

Yeah, N64 had stupidly high prices, and Sony is very thankful for that

Marketing guys are clever. Between the O/Q similarities and how every TV in a bright store looks fantastic they found a loophole for the average joe to not realize how stupidly better "O" is at home. The times I've had to explain this to relatives. I pushed back the purchase of my next TV for...

Typical tech... We don't need just to standarize how AI uses data sources, but also how AI uses data sources

The fact that paid political propaganda is legal is the key problem here. Considering for some people Money is not a concern, how is that any different from forced propaganda? Capitalism is supposed to exist to drive growth, not to allow hoarders to do mass manipulation.

We moved from "The Simpsons predicted it" to "Back to the future 2 predicted it" way too fast

There's a vast difference between the academia work seeking funds, and the academia work backed up by one of the biggest companies on the planet. The former has all the pressure in the world to publish early, the latter all the pressure in the organization to publish late.

See, that's why when I discuss capitalism with people and how it drives progress I always answer with a "Indeed, but..." There is a runaway effect in which the initial profit-motivation that sparks innovation and progress unavoidably ends in toxic profit-seeking anti-competitive behaviors that...

That would be the most idiotic way of ending the US dominance over the tech market ever, especially considering how any company can use AOSP and build an Android phone and stick a replacement Google APIs on top, and get a huge part of the cake, which probably would spread to the rest of the...

Oh boy and this has just barely started. For some time the algorithm has been puking some mix of reality and nonsense, and eating it again, just like my cats. The positive feedback loop will end up with a blob of regurgitated mess that will unavoidably end up with a visit to the veterinary

Someone named Donald Trump (Not the prominent one, I mean someone a bit less orange) needs to file a suit for GDPR in Europe and ask for his name to be removed from ChatGPT responses

Honestly, kudos to Apple for being able to keep prices like this at a time where there's a plethora of 100-200€ Android phones with a lot more punch their price tag implies. My son just got a Motorola which cost like 108€, with the latest android version and 3 years of updates, and other than...

Humanity is "woke" in its DNA. The one trait humans have is adaptability to change and the inner need to progress and make things differently to their parents. There's evidence of this since there's written memory. Old people angry at woke people is a tale documented since at least the ancient...

It's difficult to emphasize this properly. There's already a sizeable amount of auto-generated content in the web. As this practice grows and becomes more indistinguishable from reality less and less original content will exist. We'll get to a point that there'll be so much noise we won't hear...
