  • I don’t think I’ve ever been this disinterested in a Nintendo console and I bought the WiiU. So far we have:

    • Insane price tags: 80$ to buy games digitally? And 90$ for physical? This isn’t how you stop piracy, it’s how you start it.
    • The tech demo costs money. Why? Sure, they explained why. Just not very well.
    • That Nintendo-Denuvo deal from 2023 is still a thing. Thankfully, no games on the Switch have implemented Denuvo. With the Switch 2 coming out, I’m not certain this will remain the case.
    • Far as I can tell, they did next to nothing to fix the joycon drift. The one big problem with the Switch 1.

    Also, the launch titles are kind of sparse. Most are rehashes of existing Switch 1 games, with two or three exceptions. Not for me, I guess.















  • I hate it. For starters, I want to echo a common sentiment in the comments: the way it was taught data seems just so wildly unethical to me. The authors and artists whose works were stolen deserve a paycheck and I mean big time.

    Don’t get me wrong, it does cool stuff too. Being able to recognize birds and plants and being able to proofread your texts, stuff like that? That is pretty cool.

    But what pisses me off is how much “white noise” it generated on the internet, if you know what I mean. It depends on the search engine, but I’ve caught myself typing -ai_generated or some-such in the search bar just to find something that an actual human made. The search results are just so polluted with this shit. And, of course they want to put AI in everything. Ovens, CPUs, pillows, you name it. I don’t want it. Make it go away.
