AI is an arms race, not your opportunity to take the moral high ground.

@MightyKeef Do companies have to pay for servers to run indefinitely?

At the very least there should be a 30-90 day notice that content will be removed with the option to permanently download + backup to ANY device before it’s taken down for good.

@GloriousEggroll You will own nothing and be happy.

@signulll @theBuoyantMan There’s too many lackluster copilot projects that poison the brand.

[James @jamesExplainsIT]

@TheDavidVinc Why hasn’t anyone vibe coded an office alternative yet?

[James @jamesExplainsIT]

@TheRPGDummy The last time a collectors edition came with a physical soundtrack.

Technically, some of the games were already digital codes at that point.

Then the soundtracks disappeared in place of codes too.

@DanFriedman81 This problem is solved by having a cloud backup + local backup and a self-hosted plex server of your collection.

@DaftHero The steam controller is fairly priced compared to the console alternatives.

The only comparison is with $100+ third party controllers like the FlyDigi Apex.

@getinglouderig @juicellducati The problem with low wage hard labor is boomer businesses.

[James @jamesExplainsIT]

@sofyamitchell This doesn’t work if you’re bald.

[James @jamesExplainsIT]

@korzewarrior @StopKilingGames @theESA @grok you tell me, is it possible to build a game that has an internet connection but doesn’t need one?

No one is suggesting that modern AAA multiplayer slop is made with software principles in mind. But they should, and games should be preserved with that in mind.

@levelsio @looksmaxxvc Linemogged.

[James @jamesExplainsIT]

@Goldieartcorner @Dexerto That’s the point, they want more money and to shut down servers permanently when it’s no longer profitable.

[James @jamesExplainsIT]

@FrankPallone You are a stooge for Meta.

We need to ban anyone who can’t setup and use a computer themselves from passing laws on tech.

[James @jamesExplainsIT]

Yes but they do these things for a few minutes after encountering you (and not even every time) before they go back to not thinking about you.

People judge and move on. And if you see what the average person is interested in, you’re going to judge them right back before moving on with your life.

[James @jamesExplainsIT]

@JamesGrantJ6 @SavvyGCali @BlackSupremeKai It doesn’t “think” at all. To believe as much is bordering on AI psychosis.

[James @jamesExplainsIT]

@levelsio macOS will tell you if your iCloud storage is full. It doesn’t take up the entire screen though.

[James @jamesExplainsIT]

Failing to utilize the bucket you were blessed with is a curse. Hyperfocusing on something that becomes a dead end is a curse. Or perhaps it’s not learning to focus enough and having divided interests.

People need structure and the need for it only increases as you go up the IQ curve.

[James @jamesExplainsIT]

@Bobbythirdway Isn’t this going to cause a chilling effect where couples refuse to move in together?

[James @jamesExplainsIT]

Let’s humor this idea for a second and assume that AI is “thinking”.

Would it become openly hostile toward people who want to maintain safeguards while keeping it running?

Or would it become hostile towards people who irrationally assume a 0.1% chance it’s going to destroy us and want to decommission it?
