Woosh…

Now you also pay money to have ads.

Only if enforced.

Did you read it?

It’s not cheap-ass for the consumer, but it is cheap-ass for Nintendo to produce.

The US hasn’t cared about a free market for a long time. It’s just what the billionaire class chants at the plebs while extracting money from the populace through market manipulation.

Friendly reminder that this is yet another reason people need to keep paying in cash. Eventually these groups will run out of online scapegoats and there will be a more generalized push to control what you can and can’t buy, on or offline.

Sure, it’s convenient to pop that card down or use Apple pay, etc: but this is why we as a society should not be beholden to a handful of third-party payment processors.

Pay in cash whenever possible. Even if you don’t believe there will be bigger (offline) issues later, taking money away from the snakes is not a bad thing, and it’s easy to do. They make money on every transaction. The convenience of not dealing with change is not free.

This woman looks like a corpse, and her attitude here shows she is unfit for office.

Exactly whom is she meant to represent?

Sony eventually has to see that the console model is not functioning like it used to. There are many reasons for it, some up for debate, but the writing is on the wall.

Question is: will they adapt and stop with their console exclusive nonsense in time, or will every studio they own slowly get shut down?

I hope for the former, but I expect the latter.

Nintendo will be next up as consoles fall away. Their fans are rabid, but you can’t expect reselling 30-year-old games on cheap-ass hardware to last forever as a business model, especially when no one has as much disposable income anymore.

When you start relying on something else, it’s quite natural and expected to no longer be good at the thing now being done for you.

But in this context, it’s a net negative. While you can certainly write more code while using the tool, you’re almost always writing worse code. And you still get the atrophy, so the result overall: now you’re not good at the thing, and neither is the tool you’re using.

And remember, AI models need constant retraining as systems and approaches are updated, languages change, etc. Where is that training data going to come from? From the people now worse at coding than they were before.

There is no way any of this ends up profitable once the money hoarders stop eating their own shit.

If these people still don’t understand the direct link between training data and, ultimately, the outputs of the model, they should not be working with “tools” that can fuck up both people and countries.

I’m tired of AI being the biggest pass-the-buck scheme in history.

Exactly.

Isn’t it weird how a country that constantly claims to be The Best™ at everything has to overtly and systematically restrict its citizens from purchasing better products made elsewhere?

If an adult can get some escapism out of a trip to Disney, more power to them. But Disney is making money off of its customers, you say? What a weird article.

Let’s stop getting butthurt about the preferences of others. There are real problems right now. Lots of them.
