You're talking like everyone owns a steam deck od Rog Ally, or should just buy one of those instead? Well for starters, the SD doesn't play switch games all really well. Frame rate and stuttering issues and not all games work.

Secondly; and the bigger thing is that the SD is far and away the most popular pc handheld. It's estimated to have sold around 4 to 6 million units so far. I love mine. It's awesome. Switch has currently sold 132 million units. It's the most sold system in the world. More than any xbox, ps4, or ps5.

You're talking like the Mig isn't for people who already own a switch. You're also in some weird edgelord mindset where you think mostly just kids own a switch? Nintendo releases the age demographics of switch users, since you enter in your birthday on your profile. Every age between 18 and 45 is higher than any age under 17. Most people with a switch aren't 12. They're 25.

Sounds like you're arguing against yourself, now.

You're looking at it in a flawed manner. AI has already been making up sources and names to state things as facts. If there's a hundred websites for claiming the earth is flat and you ask an ai if the earth is flat, it may tell you it is flat and source those websites. It's already been happening. Then imagine more opinionated things than hard observable scientific facts. Imagine a government using AI to shape opinion and claim there was no form of insurrection on Jan 6th. Thousands of websites and comments could quickly be fabricated to confirm that it was all made up. Burying the truth into obscurity.

The top results pages, sure. I belive it's going to take over the top 500. Along with flooding places like lemmy and reddit.

They have already been trying to use ai to combat and identify ai in college and highschool papers. So far it's been severely ineffective. AI has gotten pretty good at writing out a sentence or two that looks like it's real. If ai improves enough I doubt they'll be much of a way to identify it all.

Pretty soon the internet will be almost completely ruined. Within a few years. AI bots will have spammed everything. Searches and web pages will be entirely faked bs. Reddit and Lemmy will have enough ai Bots commenting and pushing agendas/products that no one will have a clue who's a real person. Information that's true will be almost impossible to verify online.

In short, if you think the web has gotten bad now, you ain't seen nothin yet.

Yeah. I'm fine with using them at wal mart most of the time, but the grocery store where I load up at once every other week just went full send on self checkout and outside of being a pita dealing with so many bags and no place to set them without going into the cart with stuff you haven't even scanned yet, some have a stupid conveyor belt after you scan and if you let like ten items get on it the damned machines locks you out until a worker comes by and unlocks it after the belt has been cleared off. Total piece of junk, but there's now usually only 1 real person.

"Technology was a strike issue and one of the very last issues to be resolved,” said Ted Pappageorge, the Culinary Workers Union's secretary-treasurer who led the teams that negotiated new five-year contracts, narrowly averting a historic strike at more than a dozen hotel-casinos on the Strip."

The thing is, once robots are good enough to replace the workers, the hotels won't care about the strike. So now 5 years from now, if the robots are good enough than the jobs are gone.

You can see it moving a mouse super quick on a static background, but I never notice it happening in games. There's probably something there a touch noticeable in some fps online games if you really paid attention and could lock your max fps at 120fps with a 240hz monitor, but that would be about it, and I don't competitively play fps games. I'm perfectly happy with running 60fps at 120hz for myself.

I didn't say I wanted them disallowed from being made. Just that it's dumb to buy them.

I use my chromecast dongle for my smart TV. My smart TV will never get to have an internet connection.

I don't need or want a phone over 90hz, and a pc screen over 180hz. A phone is a waste of battery and a pc screen over that is a waste of money.
