  At the end, he says game devs have the choice on whether it’s used or not. Is that true? Is this a dev technology? I was under the impression that it’s a consumer technology you can enable in your 3D settings like anti-aliasing or something.

  When agricultural processes are invented that allow the population to grow by billions, what’s the first thing people do? Rush to fill the extra capacity. Sure would be nice if we had the prudence to maintain a buffer.

  As someone who detests shirts with logos, and so buys ones without them, I’m okay with the current state of affairs. I don’t want to feel like buying a normal shirt is a premium purchase

  My thoughts on this corpulent technology can be summed up by some brilliant thinkers.

  “Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage—to move in the opposite direction.” – E.F. Schumacher

  “The cheapest, fastest, and most reliable components of a computer system are those that aren’t there.” – Gordon Bell

  “Keep it simple. A simple solution has elegance. It is the result of an exacting effort to understand the real problem and is recognized by its compelling sense of rightness. I stress this point because it contradicts the conventional view that power increases with complexity. Simplicity provides confidence, reliability, compactness, and speed.” – Charles Moore

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You are missing something important that competent folk often do: people love AI so much because they’re illiterate. This applies to code as well. The AI literally is better at the craft than they are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people hate AI so much?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Mostly anti-intellectualism and ego, as far as I can tell. Also, conflating someone’s business practices with a technology.
