What bugs me the most right now (and doesn't quite get addressed in this article) is low performance standards.

I'd add low control standards. Since everything is a console port now, everything needs to be dumbed down to be playable by controller. That's why we don't see certain genres much any more (sims or RTS) and get shooters with included aim "aids" or cross-play wouldn't be possible.

Netflix comes around, other streaming services

The (admittedly inevitable) appearance of other streaming services was shit already since with it came exclusive content.

That was really my thought - future iterations of Chat GPT won't like spez very much.

The problem is people thinking the tool is a "calculator" (or fact-checker or search engine) while it's just a text generator. It's great for generating text.

But even then it can't keep a paragraph stable during the conversation. For me personally, the best antidote against the hype was to use the tool.

I don't judge people believing it's more than it is though. The industry is intentionally deceiving everyone about this and we also intuitively see intelligence when someone can eloquently express themselves. Seeing that in software seems magical.

We now have a great Star Trek like human machine interface. We only need real intelligence in the backend.

I guess that's far more unbreakable than what we have. But anyway, several three letter agencies will fight this (again) tooth and nails.

Well, iOS could just do it like every other OS that don't restore deleted data by installing an update.

Also Ethereum is extremely inefficient compared to conventional tech (like just a database). All you need is to realize that complete trustlessness is impossible to understand that a distributed ledger has no problem to solve. And that's why there is no practical application after all these years.

No, it's not useful as a cash substitute because of its hilarious inefficiency.

Of course there is another choice: you can continue to not buy their crap regardless of what they do.

You don't need to go crypto to get there though

You never do. Its only use case is a payment system for online crime. And even for that many criminals prefer gift cards because it's such a hassle to explain crypto-tokens to your victims.

But then you have to move all the time. A pile of bodies might scare off bike thieves.
