Almost all user agent strings start with that Mozilla prefix because Mozilla made the first browser with “fancy” features, so in the early internet many websites checked for that string to determine if they should serve the nice website or the stripped down version. Later when other browsers added the features, that also had to add that to their user string so users would get the right site. Which just cemented the practice.
The alternate timeline would have to be pretty wacky, a lot of his techniques are using modern software development progression. Sure, the N64 was a limited platform, but also they didn’t have efficient and optimized algorithms back then that enabled this type of performance on lesser hardware. That came with decades of experience writing code like this.
It’s not about percentages or watching everything. It’s about I want to watch what I want to watch, and usually that’s the opposite of the popular stuff.
Also let’s be real if we have to resort to going out physically to buy plastic disks that I’ll just immediately throw away after ripping, something is still drastically wrong.
I mean yeah it’s selfish, but it is definitely righting a huge injustice:
There is literally no customer centric way to watch these shows, or most modern media at all. Where can I literally buy shows that I can then resell. Where can I get a subscription service that’s focused on giving me the best content possible and not trying to squeeze value out of me by influencing what I watch or selling my metrics or up selling me to a bigger plan after killing the previous plan or any number of other dark practices. Where can I buy DRM free offline files of these shows so I can watch them on an airplane on my own hardware without Internet?
It’s fucked up that there is literally no way for people to buy their entertainment and not be fucked over more for trying to do it the legal way and spending money. And piracy needs to exist as a breaking point to stop these companies from getting even worse.
Air brushing, Photoshop, and AI are specific methodologies, you can’t just use that as a generic term when that will just create more confusion and hide the meaning, especially when the difference is important due to legislation.
I never put out an article saying it was one of them definitively. I just said the style looked similar to another method.
Then why did they put the name of the latest tech in the title when it’s not even relevant
Because the article specifically said “AI”. It could have just said “edited” and left it at that is the methodology was unknown. But when the methodology is both unknown and doesn’t affect the story at all, it’s bullshit to put a potential lie in the headline just to act relevant to a different hot topic issue.
Amusement parks can’t just spin up extra servers to handle load at peak times. Video games can. Also there is not a complex economy and ranking system that pits guests against each other at an amusement park.
The comparison is not even remotely reasonable.
This looks like a bad 15 minute Photoshop job. Why does she think it was AI? Where is the proof AI was used?
Or is this just more news cycle bullshit trying to throw in the latest controversial keywords 🤔
This is nothing like a block chain. Blockchains are distributed and assume 0 trust in any actor. This is just a database that you have to have full trust in. Literally the opposite.
Very untrue. Consumers have the power to buy far cheaper Android phones where they have far more freedoms, but not only do the majority of American consumers refuse to do this, they voluntarily and systematically shame those who do.
Statistically, Most American consumers are pretty dumb and act against their own interests
SEO was a problem before Google search became uniqutous
SEO might be the clearest example of Goodhart’s law to ever exist
The real question is how many of the creators would love the ability to put this in their game. Maybe they wished it looked like the upscaled version all along but couldn’t due to the technical restrictions of the time
And the 5 plz and thank you
Agreed about them doing nothing against the law in the past.
But against your last anecdote: 150k now is worth more than having to maybe pay 150k later
But when one businesses whims can harm the right of millions, it’s time to regulate them so the CEOs feelings don’t fuck users over.
But is he getting a hefty stock based compensation package? Can he sell those stocks before he bails?
They are removing lots of the nice things they did like days when an the revenue goes to artists
