I cannot stress to you enough how much of the push for genai, is to eliminate user agency wrt computing power and hardware.
this RAM crisis feels like it’s going to ruin consumer electronics over the next decade. Bloomberg reports that Sony is considering pushing the PS6 release to 2028 or even 2029 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

you're telling me my game of the year every year from 2008 to 2021 inclusive is finally getting a PC release? my only concerns are does it fix the controls in the car sequence, and can I finally have some 4k textures for the tunnel crawling please and thank you.

the only coders I know who even remotely like the vibe coding and AI bullshit are the ones whose commits break entire forks and who don't actually like coding for anything other than the fleeting social cache it provides.

So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already.
When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world.
Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.
The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.
Happy Black History Month.

isn't it a bit odd that he says literally this exact phrase every time anyone shows any sense of having anything resembling principles or coherent ideas? like he's been saying exactly this, after every awards show, for several years at this point.
Ricky Gervais calls out Grammy winners for making political acceptance speeches: "You're in no position to lecture the public about anything"

Gervais cited his own 2020 Golden Globes monologue, in which he urged winners not to use their acceptance speeches "as a platform to make a political speech."

keep having visions of a future where only Nvidia dies from the AI bubble bc they become a global scapegoat for the collapse and RTX cards become obsolete idols of excessive indulgent arrogance, with less than zero support. just as they deserve.

it's important to understand that the international relations and free market capitalists spent most of the 20th century producing propaganda intentionally designed to make you not understand what anarchism and anarchy are, and, that dismissing ideas you don't like is not dialectics, it's dogmatism.

reminder that when liberals try to tell you this doesn't apply to today because King was "nonviolent" they are engaging in revisionist history, King received the EXACT same reaction that modern protests for justice receive, accusations of provocateurs and incivility in favor of ignorable inactivity.

In another video you hear this woman saying she has autism and “ it takes me a second to understand.” I can’t help thinking that if we’d done the right thing after Elijah McClain’s murder, we might not be here. and a whole lot of people, including dems, are responsible for that.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

You notice how thousands and thousands of cops aren't coming out to condemn Jonathan Ross for senselessly killing Renee Good?
This is what people mean by "all cops are bastards". If this were any other profession, the entire group would condemn it. With cops it's the reverse, they all justify it.

This picture was taken in 2000 by an Associated Press photographer who was allowed to be present as an observer. ICE now keeps press blocks away from the areas where they are operating. One of the first actions ICE takes during a raid is to confiscate phones.
