You know, I’ve seen this meme so many times in many places and only on lemmy have I seen some kind of a breakdown on why.
God I love lemmy
- Comment on In Warning Sign for Hollywood, Younger Consumers Are Choosing Creator Content Over Premium TV and Movies: Social Platforms are Becoming a Dominant Force in Media and Entertainment. 1 week ago:
No one is pointing out that this was inevitable result having more options.
When I was a kid, sure we had TV and video games, but they weren’t much. There was no big library, all the better graphics games were recent, and realistically you got a few games a year.
Me and my friends went to the movies cause there honestly wasn’t much better things to do. Having a home theatre meant having a tiny screen and a handful of movies you’ve seen many times if you happen to have a VCR. TV reruns were super old and had 5 mins of ads every 15 mins.
Did they really expect teenagers to be desperate to see a new flic when it’s no longer the only way to see new content?

I think I’m GTA they swear when they hit other cars while driving, but that’s more like road rage I guess

If you’re trying to mock English idioms then those aren’t even close to the worse.
How about:
“I screwed the pooch on this one”
- Comment on Brian Eno: “The biggest problem about AI is not intrinsic to AI. It’s to do with the fact that it’s owned by the same few people” 1 week ago:
The biggest problem with AI is that it’s the brut force solution to complex problems.
Instead of trying to figure out what’s the most power efficient algorithm to do artificial analysis, they just threw more data and power at it.
Besides the fact of how often it’s wrong, by definition, it won’t ever be as accurate nor efficient as doing actual thinking.
It’s the solution you come up with the last day before the project is due cause you know it will technically pass and you’ll get a C.
- Comment on It Might Be Time to Admit the Great VR Experiment Has Failed 2 weeks ago:
At least VR does what it promised, unlike crypto and AI.
I also think there are economic reasons, we don’t live during a time when people can buy expensive toys.
Steam deck was a hit because it was economical, just $500 and have access to a whole PC.
- Comment on Sony is experimenting with AI-powered PlayStation characters 3 weeks ago:
Damn Sony. You had a golden opportunity to say we are an old school tech company, we are not gonna play these silly games.
But I guess, that’s not how capitalism works. Race to the bottom baby!
- Comment on Are Autocracies more powerful than Democracies? 3 weeks ago:
Autocratic countries have a small number of leaders, often one.
The goal of said leader isn’t really to grow and bring wealth and prosperity, but to never lose power.
So overall, the economics of the country would plateau, cause why risk allowing wealth to grow and fall into your opponents’ hands?
Hence why countries like Russia and North Korea rarely innovate, but just take what’s available to further entrench their country’s position.
So the only way autocracy can prevail is by brining down anything superior to it, much like what Russia is doing to the US.
- Comment on We all deserve better than this 3 weeks ago:
I mean, as much as I like to criticize chip companies, it’s across the board.
In most industries, the owners are sticking it extra hard to the consumer.
All this article does is say tsk tsk instead of recognizing the late stage capitalism and pointing out our few options.
- Comment on The RTX 5070 reviews are in, and let’s just say people aren’t happy 3 weeks ago:
Idk man, as someone who waited for the 5000 series and then didn’t buy them (went with an older model), these articles make me pretty happy. Ngl
- Comment on Failed ransom plots in the past might've succeeded if Cryptocurrencies existed. 3 weeks ago:
And that sums up why so many shady characters are pro crypto.
They want the government out of the way so you know, they can do crime or almost crime easily.
- Comment on Trans is Trans 3 weeks ago:
Wait wait,
Are you telling me through a meme that they honestly misread some shit and posted it to the White House website (saw on another meme).
Man, if I wasn’t so worried about the future I would be laughing very hard right now (am chucking though).

- Comment on If we want to have any power vs. watching helplessly while people in charge fuck everything up, we should focus on democratic workplaces. Not just unions, workers should own and control the business 4 weeks ago:
The biggest lie capitalism ever told was that your free cause you can chose where to work.
- Comment on The situation got so bad that actuall news overtook memes in top posts on Lemmy 4 weeks ago:
just switch to only viewing subscribed communities.
While I agree with your overall sentiment of taking breaks but staying informed with with discussions, my issue is that politics still leaks there.
Even if you subscribe to only memes and fun stuff, politics can still overrun it.
Imo during the Biden years there was good balance.

- Comment on “It’s a lemon”—OpenAI’s largest AI model ever arrives to mixed reviews 4 weeks ago:
Is it because they used data from after chat GPT was released?
- Comment on In a thousand years, will historians regard today as the digital dark ages? 4 weeks ago:
Depends if you mean dark ages but not a lot of information that survives or economic stagnation.
First one idk but we are fully in an economic stagnation period due to late stage capitalism impeding innovation.
So historians might thing not much happened as in not much that is worth remembering happened.

- Comment on Should We Decouple Technology from Everyday Life? - Public Discourse 4 weeks ago:
I don’t get these should articles. There is a lot of things we should be doing.
We already have a long list of things we should do, maybe they can get on that instead of adding to the list.
