But you're probably not in this future.
Just focusing on brute forcing with bigger and bigger and bigger datacenters will just lead china to invest 1/100 of the budget in people actually researching and winning the "AI race" not by having the best model, but the best use for it.
1/10 of the money being used to make more data centers or to strip books for some extra scrap of data, invested in people coming up with ideas would help a lot more.

However as they're all buzzword parrots that works on "good news"/"bad news", people will keep getting fired, even if it kills the company.
It's all a number of stock go up, not reality.
This is specially true when the company deal with highly specialized jobs, such as gamedev or engineering etc..
Firing the "john carmack" of the company makes the stock go up.

256KB of RAM and 128KB of VRAM should be more than enough, specially if the car software comes from a cartridge.
There's even some fancy 21k color video modes that could serve you well.

Because they're painfully out of alignment with the actual public.

There's a balance here, specially with the de-aging treatments we're coming up with.
If you make someone live to 150 somehow, that will be 110 years of de-aging treatment.
And there's no definitive cure for aging, not one that you can afford anyway.
Cancers can be pretty profitable, but they will also kill your patient pretty quickly in most cases.

Most people don't even know what an OS is and that it can be replaced.
But i don't doubt it is basically already the year of linux (for those that know what an OS is)

It's probably AI stuff

It is an actually good use of LLMs this time around.
You get a LLM, tell it to look for exploits and bugs, and it will spit you 5000 answers, then you use another one or something less "prone to errors" to check if these answers are real.
50 will be and brand new, and then a human goes there and actually fix these 50 bugs.
The trick with LLMs is to assume they will be wrong and engineer around it, so this example above and many others are good use case, vibe code (as in someone that don't know programming using it to generate code) is the worst use case possible.

Because i don't want to get a copyright strike for playing songs in my head

Distros are more of "the taste of the consumer", specially in basic appearance and utilities.
As long you don't make an incompatibility trainwreck, you can make a bunch of different distros to try to get to different tastes.
The fragmentation is only a problem if you get stuff like "this distros can only run X programs".
If all of em can run all of the software, it's fine and even desirable.

A private company is like a girl with a wish, trying to accomplish it on it's own
A public company is a girl that fell for the talk of kyubey and will sooner or later turn into a witch, and whatever EA is, is not back to a girl, but a demon

It's not even real files from an user standpoint. you can't dir or ls on a console or pop the file manager.
Cerny could store unsettling giraffe pictures on your PS5 and you would never know.

This is actually fluffed up numbers by counting the games that don't exist on disc.
But it is a bit pointless to have games on disc on a platform that is a black box connected to the internet that you have no control over.

He/she will mysteriously disappear, because people that can manipulate the masses this well are needed elsewhere
