In the old times those people would oppose building wind mills.

Which hardware is for running local models that is cheap? I was not looking at GPU market for around two years, because I thought everything got expensive through the roof.

Don’t put the word in if you are searching for a kindergarten.

So if there will be no suffering and no evil in the eternity, why can’t it be like that already? If one is incapable of doing evil in heaven does he have free will? If your answer is that he will not be willing to do that, why? Because here on earth one can be good and die and one can be good and turn evil in the end, what makes heaven different and why it wouldn’t be possible right here right now?

They will try to discourage use of on-screen keyboards (making them dumber and less reliable) to force you to use AI dictation and sell you more headphones.

I think it is also related to computers becoming faster as well. In the old times ftp.example.com, mail.example.com and www.example.com could be run from different machines.

They could probably retain those employees and just do more games in the same time with advice taken from the rest of your points.

There are many movies I don’t intend to watch, but then if they are culturally significant I read the plot on Wikipedia.

Exactly. I also think that the problem was never just implementing stuff, the problem is to support the written code. Lately I stumbled upon a phrase “free as in a free puppy” I think those AI clones are exactly this. You will need to support it with AI, because no one else will be able or will be willing for enough time to do anything there. There is no understanding gained from this and if this bubble ever bursts or at least deflate a bit and prices for a token will get real it will no longer be maintainable.

I agree with you, but with shows I would say they already eat too much time so I learned to trust my gut, if it is bad after one or two episodes, I will waste my time with something else. Maybe that’s also why in general I avoid shows in recent years. I prefer self-contained content. A series were every episode is its own thing with little or no overarching plot line. Like Columbo series which I love.

I want to believe. But X (formerly known as Twitter) and Facebook are still there. It may be a long death which is indistinguishable from (low-quality) life.
