Big tech made us lonely and now they want to sell us the cure?

This goes out to anyone still thinking there are some good people among the very rich. They‘re all robbers and thieves without a conscience.

Smart TV having absolutely horrible default settings and filters that ruin any viewing experience has little to do with HDR because the TV isn‘t even processing HDR images most of the time. That stuff is already mixed and there‘s not much any device can do to give you details in the darks and brights back. It‘s a much different story when you‘re actually processing real color information like in a video game. HDR should absolutely help you see in the dark here.

Have you ever been the person who was kind enough to return a lost wallet? Have you also ever been the person who was accused by the person you returned it to of stealing a bunch of things (like cash) out of the wallet?

You're saying something. I've heard first hand stories about angry wallet owners "shooting the messanger" so to speak. I'm from Germany but the saying "No good deed goes unpunished" rings true in most parts of the world, I think. That's why you throw a lost wallet into the next letter box and don't bother any further. At least that's what you're supposed to do where I'm from and I doubt any of those wallets ever arrived with their full content but that's not my problem.

Because there's always a bigger fish out there to get you. Or that's what trillionaires will tell themselves when they wage a robotic war. This system isn't made to last the way it's progressing right now.

With all the touch screens and computer controlled door handles I wouldn‘t bet on a Tesla in this showdown.

AI won‘t be our downfall but technological illiteracy might.

I don‘t know about that. That Oculus founder seems worse than Suckerberg somehow.

However I still think that somehow Facebook‘s dominance bottlenecks the VR industry right now. Their little data extractors are ironically too cheap for a healthy and vibrant VR economy, keeping competition and ideas out that the industry needs so desperately.

Good. Let them drown with their sinking ship. They enabled his power grab in the first place and decided something as perverted and absurd as granting a single man $60 billion. Let this be a lesson in history books.

And the tragedy of the whole situation is that they can‘t win because if every worker is replaced by an algorithm or a robot then who‘s going to buy your products? Nobody has money because nobody has a job. And so the economy will shift to producing war machines that fight each other for territory to build more war machine factories until you can’t expand anymore for one reason or another. Then the entire system will collapse like the Roman Empire and we start from scratch.

Loved those games and the sets even though the latter came with a few huge pieces and empty spaces. That certainly didn’t sit well with everyone.

So in short you disagree which is reasonable given the circumstances.

Besides, wouldn‘t it make much more sense to verify and mark genuine content rather than the slob which is becoming the majority of content?

It makes more sense to mark authentic content but sure.

AI might not be doing what Apple wants it to do but it's certainly doing what it's designed to do. Trash in trash out.

Show someone footage of 9/11 and they‘ll think of 2001. Show someone footage of a burning or crashing Tesla 20 years from now and they‘ll think of 2025.

Journalists? Probably just to see how it will go wrong and report about it so we don‘t have to.

Wasn‘t he let go from Facebook partially for his political views like being a fierce Trump supporter, though? That was years before Suckerberg turned full fascist oligarch himself mind you.

I mean almost all major apps are magnitudes worse by allowing advertisements of blatant scams and don‘t even let you report it let alone hide it. Enshittification runs rampant.

Why make a Wiki when a shitty Discord server with a clunky search function is easier to set up? Of course it‘s also much less useful, more work to maintain in the long run and a never ending source of drama, but most devs don‘t think that far because they kinda only do it to build a community anyway. Being a source of information is just slapped on but enough reason for them to not set up a wiki or proper forum it seems. Ugh.

I’d imagine that would be a win-win. For China and Russia.
