Remember when journalism was a respected profession?

We hate Elon, Tesla is Ok

Well I wouldn’t really trust kia, who released these gaping vulnerabilities and benefit the most from pretending ain’t no big thing, with these statements

Agreed. But I am getting more and more concerned we won’t always be able to keep or buy an old car and avoid these pitfalls

I’m likely 3 to 6 years away from having to buy a new/used car and I don’t think il be able to (or actually want) a 20 year old car

They just want him to get a new one… Why repair a $20 battery on a perfectly functioning device when you can force him to get a new $100,000 exoskeleton?

This is just more capitalist ghouls doing the only thing they know

Right to repair NOW!

Medical devices should be either supported for life (with money on escrow to support it) or provided with all schematics, manuals and spare parts

oh wow, what “news” this is… /S

Isn’t this the entire reason for RB’s existence?

Except switching jobs is far easier, less risky and usually the only way to get an actual salary bump?.. yes, “just like”

He is just stating the obvious, like saying the sun is hot.

But he could say they are engineering to catch up to the trend, right? the question is not if they are to implement AI features in their current 8 year old console. The question is if AI is in their development path in the future

And the answer is no, Nintendo does not seem to see value there. I for one agree, the stuff you mentioned about AI in other comments in the thread go from “meh” to “I actively do not want that in my games”. This is just my opinion as a casual gamer but I see logic in Nintendo’s stance here.

AI atm can replace artists and actors

Another things no consumer wants

Because even though everyone knows Nintendo’s consoles are under powered, they still usually deliver a ton of gameplay fun.

In this particular case, very few people want more “AI” in their stuff… and as even OP admits, current “AI” is crap. So why would I want to pay extra $$$ for hardware that can run “AI” when my gaming experience is likely not going to improve one bit?

They’re just lucky that the current AI Models are crap, otherwise this would be the next standard they’re missing in their “more of the same since 1980” games.

So you are complaining they are not adopting something you admit is currently crap?!

I’m going to complain about billionaire taxes then, I mean I have no billions but I’ll complain anyway

See? Literally, this behaviour is why we can’t have nice things

If the “different direction” to sue everyone who liked them before?!

It’s worth realizing some people do not want to be cheered up.

I get that 100% and, although I am sure I made the mistake before, I am trying hard to understand and respect these boundaries

I am just saying I believe wearing such a pin to avoid people would have a noticeable cobra effect

But even if money does not exchange hands… if I have a million dollars to organize a group of lawyers, PR experts, propagandists, etc. I can still generate and undue impact in legislation that would be hard to match by any regular family voicing their opinion on their own accord

I agree with the first amendment but I think funding a full think tank and funneling “my voice” through a paid army is twisting the goal of the first commandment… and that is before the open bribery that we do see nowadays

That’s not enough… not just because nobody would read it but because there is a LONG tradition of marketing funded junk science so they could very easily come up with some shitty paper that backs whatever they are saying.

The tobacco industry was famous for this and for years they produced studies that showed smoking was good for you

100% - specially in the USA, it is 100% legalized, coordinated bribery

“influencers” should not exist in their form today. If you are to peddle a brand, you get to be responsible (as in legally liable) for the claims made

You don’t think people would go “aww how come you are down? Let me cheer you up”?
