  • GOG Galaxy is actually amazing in what it accomplishes, GOG just don't have the resources to make it frictionless.

    Gamepass is probably the main competition for Steam at this point. Publishers have been busting to make games run on the cloud, it's the ultimate DRM, the ultimate goal of the erosion of ownership.

    There will be a time where there is a push towards partial-cloud gaming and then fully cloud gaming, and it will be hard for PC gaming to compete in the mainstream when you buy an Xbox dongle for $50 and game as soon as you plug it in. That's the real threat to Valve.

  • You bring the tax in for EVs first, and conservatives will either not care or even cheer for it. A new tax on woke cars!

    Then after the next election you quietly extend it to all vehicles.

  • You think the internet being flooded with articles, comments etc. all being written by AI whose only goals are selling shit, disseminating misinformation, and manipulating elections and opinions - with no way to know what is human and what is AI - is going to be a great environment to continue to train your AI?

  • This analogy falls apart when you note that "overgrazing" these resources does absolutely nothing to harm them.

    Only if you consider AI-supercharged misinformation to not be harmful.

    Only if you consider the entropy of human interaction on the internet to not be harmful.

    Only if you consider being unable to know who is real to not be harmful.
