kind of cute that you think that people in EU are not by default voting for christian and social related political parties.... and that the whole reason for laws is to keep capitalism in check.

> Alternately you could vote for politicians who will regulate the market in way that would, for example, force companies to pay back money if they shut down what your paid for prematurely. Or take away other rights of use from licensed products. capitalism *could* get regulated any way we want, one just has to do it. But if you think the invisible hand of the market will know best, dont embarrass yourself by signing petitions against what the invisible hand just decided for you.

how to tell you're brainwashed by capitalism...

I don't think he will be able to... for US at least: https://www.thetruthaboutcars....


there is a waranty related clause:
The only federal requirement is under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which applies only during the warranty period. This law requires that if a manufacturer provides a warranty, they must have parts available to fulfill warranty obligations, but this typically only covers 3-4 years for most vehicles.

> let the free market be free, let capitalism do its thing


> why are we forced to work 80 hrs, being replaced by robots, replaced by LLM, why are we not even getting minimum living wage


ah yes; let the market be completely uncontrolled create large monopolies. you example should be corrected:

a huge wine shop with shops all over the world, would be forced to allow others to also sell their wine.

oh no let wallmart do its thing all over the world, and then get a job as "greeter"

awesome!

> People use AI to answer questions. So if your site answers questions, you should hide it behind a login at the very least, so AI can't scoop it up. If you don't, sorry, that's on you.

yes that's how the internet works. Put all your content behind login walls. That will drive traffic up from incoming sources...
nope.

> The switch 2 is a problem for both Microsoft and Sony because it's dangerously good enough

good enough at what?

if I want a portable console for ~€500, Steam Deck is the go to option, with a truckload of cheap and free games available, homebrew, etc

if I want pick up and play installed next to TV where I will be spending money on games, €499 for a PS5, €120/year and you have 500+ game titles


I don't see how Switch is option for any of these scenarios, unless money is not of concern, parental control is not important, and you're willing to spend €80 per game title.

ah yes... worry

Sony should wake up, allow blanket slate keyboard & mouse support for all titles (create mp lobbies for mixed/separate pools) and you have a powerful game PC that is best in class price/performance....

but yes, let us worry

the only way this can generate any revenue is to put all your content behind "offerwalls" for any and all indexing robots
all human visitors get free access, but any traffic coming from LLMs and search indexes need to pay to access your content, since they will not send you any traffic, just using up your bandwidth and server resources, without giving anything in return

> Sites with real content will be fine.

no... they won't. In fact those will hurt the most, as their content is slurped up by indexing bots and their content is being served by LLMs, with zero visitors coming to their site

all these sold xxx units should be put against population and growth.
otherwise this is just very much a "duh" article, so wait more people with access to disposable income and increased world population equals more products sold?
wuk?


duh

having your own content, on your site, made query-able for your visitors, is in no way, "the dark side".

> Death of Clickbait Journalism is A Good Thing

if only it would impact those sites, but nope, it impacts everything, click through rate is abysmal for any and all sites. AI summaries top of the search results for any subject. Google for "search" is worthless, but majority will happily accept the AI summary and never look further.

How is that a long term smart move?? google is biting the hand that feeds it: content creators. If you want to ensure people actually find your site, you will have to start... blocking google bot? Cause you gain nothing from publishing any content and having it made "searchable" through google. Nobody will ever visit your site. Your content will just get slurped up by the bot and integrated in the RAG for their LLM.

And if everybody starts blocking google, their LLM will provide outdated stuff in less a few years.

so what... we put everything behind paywalls to help recover any lost revenue ?
This move by major AI companies to never mention sources & links is just horrible. Horrible for trust in the output of the LLM, horrible for those whose content was blatantly copied and used for LLM model training

"the public" doesn't like it because the companies will replace workers, and as ever in the meat grinder that is capitalism, higher efficiency doesn't mean better quality of life for the masses.

> I haven't seen a decent movie since the end of the 90s

that's you stopped watching movies ofc


a few post 90s movies that more than "decent"
The Dark Knight, The Lord of the Rings, Inception, City of God,Spirited Away,The Pianist,Gladiator,Parasite,The Departed,Whiplash,The Prestige,The Intouchables,Django Unchained, Dune P1/P2, Memento, WALLE,Inglourious Basterds,Coco,Oldboy,...

but yes, since the CGI "revolution" zero decent movies.
.

to make playbooks, spitball ideas and transfer them from static images to demo reels would indeed be a cool idea to use these tools to quickly get something out there to see if there is Animo for a concept. If it helps them realize quicker those ideas that can spark, and those that cannot, I'm all for it. but alas, their goal will ultimately be cost cutting with zero revenue sharing

the increases in productivity should have caused less time to deliver the same quality/quantity of products required, thereby reducing the amount of hours/week working is required by humans. However for all the "good" capitalism has done, by pushing the "more money per week" narrative, and the fact those that stand to gain the most from these increased profits are not properly taxed... has made capitalism basically the cause for all these "job losses" to increased tools for productivity. Instead of seeing as a way for humanity to grow as a whole.


sad.
