Are you recommending folks buy something from one of the companies that didn't hire back the people? Or one of the fictional companies that did not use AI as an excuse for layoffs.

Looking at it just purely because of the console capabilities itself, the Wii was the best console.

Most of what the Wii did, no other system console or PC replicates well even to this day. They did this while undercutting other consoles on price, still putting out solid entries to their core IPs, and broadening gaming to new gamers.

All of the other consoles I would want to put at number 1 really are only great because of the library of games they had. Most of those libraries would have been better off if they were not forced to be on proprietary hardware.

The Founders strengths are genetic engineering and the ability to maintain individuality inside of a collective. I think both of these have been shown to absolutely crush the Borg and the Founders would see the Borg as a fitting solution to the solids.

The issue is then you have poked God Emperor Sisko of the sacred temple. A being with unending rage against the borg, a willingness to commit war crimes, and the ability to exist outside of time. Sisko is the only captain who faced a power scaling issue of his own power being too high as he was literally born with plot armor.

I could see a person who reads and cares about scientific non fiction content might be easily bothered by how often reversing polarity solves the problem.

Some people just don't like consuming fictional content as a passtime.

The fact that consumers have LLM garbage shoved in their face doesn't mean that the exponential increase in other ML use cases isn't driving life saving technology. The COVID vaccine only deployed as fast as it did because of AI ML. 20% of surgeries right now are robot assisted and all of those use AI ML.

On a personal level I've been able to move my family to FOSS because of LLMs. LLMs are very good at understanding how open source software works and translating the workflows to human language. I personally can read man pages but others in my family honestly don't want to have to in order to just watch a show on AppleTV. I can do this with a small local LLM running on a low wattage micro server.

We are seeing LLMs enabling us easily to overwrite the proprietary software in our home devices and take back hardware and improve repairability so we can stop producing so much E Waste. And the more that companies use LLM code to slop up their embedded devices the easier it becomes.

You can run AI without causing environmental problems just like you can drive cars without burning fossil fuels and you can have industrial production without creating pollutants.

All of that just cuts into the profits though.

PS5 went for console exclusives so now Xbox has to select a couple token core IPs to can their PS5 version with so they don't end up in a spot where PS5 is always clearly the right hardware to own.

The same way someone saying that you would look better without glasses, or would look better with short hair, or would look better if you worked out more is all belittling.

You are trivializing the choices or non choices a person made. You are implying that the way a person looks is in some way wrong or could be better, that they are less than.

My experience is that you would come off as a lot more approachable online if you used less words. You might think that using all those words covers up your flaws but I think you could use a lot less words and be your authentic self and people would like being around you more.

What do any of those things have to do with the conversation. They didnt understand why men sharing an opinion about women's makeup was a problem. I explained my view of it.

Life is unfair and people can be mean isn't a justification its just whataboutism cope. Rather than actually letting people consider that maybe their behavior has hurt people you are helping them justify it because people maybe somewhere other people were mean to some other person probably.

Sharing your opinions of how others chose to dress or act is weird unless you are doing it to influence others. Trying to influence people by belittling them is rude.

You could be saying it about how someone dresses, or dances, or what bike they chose to ride.

It is unfortunate that men belittling women about their makeup is so pervasive in our culture that after at least three generations of people highlighting how hurtful it is, people still think their right to state their opinion of random people is more important than people's right to go through their day without being accosted.
