I am very strongly anti-AI, I think it has some legitimate uses that have probably saved and improved a lot of lives (like AlphaFold). My main problem (and most people's main problem with it) is the way it has been trained with stolen data and art.
Since I don't know much about non-corporate AI I am interested to know how an open-source LLM just trained off of your bookmarks would work, I assumed it would still need to be trained off of stolen data still so it can form sentences as well as the more popular models but I may be wrong, maybe the volume of data needed for a system like that is small enough that it can just be trained off of data willingly donated to it? I doubt it though.
I was going to defend us by pointing to how some of the most popular places to eat here are focused on spicy foods (curry houses) but when I thought about it more... you're right :(
The most popular dishes there are usually the less spicy ones (but they taste really nice and would probably taste even better if they were more spicy)
Today students pick keycaps off of keyboards and steal anything not tied down (so instead of just the ball, the entire mouse gets stolen). Once I heard a student ran off with an entire side panel of a computer
I can't help you with most of the points, but you should stay hopeful and start forcing change with activism.
With the climate change point, I reccomend this video, it is optimistic while staying realistic and addresses the problems that are a roadblock to net zero.
It has bad reviews for the same reasons most games got bad reviews: expectations. It looks beautiful and it seemed they put a lot of work into the mechanics (although the age system is controversial) and on release both these things were true but there were major problems they hid in the pre launch promotion, the biggest one is the UI. Everyone who got early access to review/be sponsored (some months in advanced) told them to fix the UI to make the game perfect. But they did not, and it is still very flawed. If it had maybe a few more months in development it would be a great game.
Oh also Denuvo, pushing DLC despite the work needed on the base game and the high prices probably aren't helping reviews.
It's worth mentioning I haven't played it yet (waiting for a sale), I am just repeating what friends/content creators who weren't bribed by T2 have told me.
What's annoying about this is that (at least for me) the switch 2's price is not the problem (outside of the USA, good luck to American Nintendo fans, you'll need it), I get that it is expensive for a Nintendo console (I probably couldn't afford one) but it has hardware worth the price (from what I have seen, feel free to correct me). The problem are the overpriced games, £75 (physical)/£67 (digital) is too much even for a Nintendo game. Do Nintendo really think they can just get away with prices that inflated in a market where most families will go "but we already have Mario Kart! Why spend another £430!!"
