“Forbidden knowledge” my ass. You can just Google these things.

Has the site really changed that much since the Muskification, or are people just exposed to more negative stuff because the Elon hate-bandwagon is amplifying everything?

I don’t use twitter at all, so I have no frame of reference.

Really? Because as far as I know it’s a pyramid scheme.

Bold of you to assume they even went to business school.
All the big wigs I’ve met were “self-made millionaires” -meaning assholes that used, manipulated and fucked over enough people to reach their current positions.

Also, tax evasion.

The entire story surrounding this discovery is a scientific rollercoaster ride, with rogue scientists, updated papers, plus cloudy definitions and process descriptions within the paper that make replication efforts more difficult, and even a Russian soil scientist (and anime catgirl) deconstructing the original Korean paper to unveil the trademark levitation of the Meissner effect over her own kitchen counter.

I can’t believe they just dropped all this without any explanation. XD

People still don’t understand that AI is an all encompassing term like “tool” and not a single thing.

Just like we use thousands of vastly different and specialized tools, in a decade we’ll be surrounded by medical AI, engineering AI, accounting AI, design AI, research AI, life coaching AI, etc.

Right now we have a few LLMs and generative AIs, but that’s like having a pen and a spray gun.
Of course you wouldn’t ask any of them for a medical diagnosis.

I see this mentality all the time for industrial applications.

At work we have Stratasys 3d printers that cost upwards of $150k per machine, yet the “professional” slicer they come with is the most user hostile piece of software I’ve ever had the misfortune of handling.

They haven’t spent a single dime on UI design since '95 and the workflow feels like I’m in a wrestling match with the software.
The only reason these companies can get away with such blatant laziness is because they have no competition in their respective fields.

No. The guy who was in charge of implementing new “features” probably got laid off.

Interesting, I’ve never seen that. The opposite happens quite often, though; the question is the same as mine and there’s 5 other people in the comments also not finding an answer.

Maybe I’m just Googling for too many obscure missing .dll files and such.

The glasses thing will not happen for a long time, the are just too many limitations with the form factor.

On the other hand, Bigscreen’s HMD looks and feels way better than the toasters we’re accustomed to strapping to our faces. For that alone, I considered switching from the Index.

What we can hope is that Apple will somewhat normalize VR gear usage and push it further mainstream. They’re really good at this and the VR industry could use some more competition. Now, only if they wouldn’t patent every screw in that thing…

It was more fucked up than a simple rug pull.
Autodesk used the hobby community for years as free resource to develop Fusion and when they deemed the product finished, and sufficient amount of people hooked, the company put up a paywall. Then another one. And another one.

This is some Nestle milk formula level of bullshit.

You’d still need “gas stations” to recharge this battery in 10 minutes.

The charging current required for a battery like this would be in the high hundreds of Amps. Not something you can pull out of your wall.

Another thing with at-home charging that I don’t see much discussion around;
In 2035 the EU will stop the sale of combustion engines, but when everyone drives electric, how will the electric grid handle millions of cars suddenly being plugged in at the end of each day?

This is Microsoft we’re talking about.
It takes you their website where you can read 2 paragraphs of bullshit that will in no way clarify anything.

Does this also apply to keys lost in boating accidents?

This makes me wonder whether decentralized social media is actually immune to enshittification, or will it just take a different form we can’t even imagine at this moment in time.
