Again with this, what was it last time. The mobile phones? Then the video Games? Then the movies and the TV? The rock music? The radio?

Successful indies helping out the indie industry is the only way it'll grow, a big award show that gets people's eyes is the kind of marketing most developers could only dream of. But they a really going to have to treat each nomination as a commercial, people need to be sold on these games

Assuming they don't just pick the devs that were already thinking of. If it's just that then it's probably pointless

Your bank would probably just deny it, it's been four years since they sold them.

I hate this: "Just accept it women of the world, accept the abuse because it's the new normal" techbro logic so much. It's absolutely hateful towards women.

We have legal and justice systems to deal with this. It is not the new normal for me to be able to make porn of your sister, or mother, or daughter. Absolutely fucking abhorrent.

https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/927248/-/comment/5921190 just accept it as a new normal, it's fine. Can't possible have any recourse, just accept it women of the world, it's the new normal!

Yeah it's this shit I'm talking about. We have a whole legal and justice system to deal with this. No kne needs to accept sexual abuse as a new normal. This shit is weird.

Every time this comes up, all the tech nerds here like to excuse it as fine and not a bad thing at all. I am hoping this won't happen this time, but knowing lemmys audience...

The people being exploited are the ones who are the victims of this, not people who paid for it.

Ai could be good, great even.

99% of it is being built not to be good, but to replace workers so that corporations can profit more, not to improve anything.

This especially includes all the shitty ai "art"

I'm not excited about it, I'm just not writing fan fiction so I can get more mad about it.

You can say the company has a history of mistakes, that's fine. That's not what op did and you know it.

The software aspect I won't argue with. But I will go against the chip design. In 2024, most parts of most chips are built from library prefabs, and outside of that, all the efficiencies come from taking advantage of what the chip fab is offering.

That's why these made up nm numbers are so important. They are effectively marketing and don't have much basis in reality (euv wavelength is 13nm~, but we're claiming 6 now) - what they do indicate is improvements in other aspects of lithography.

Apple aren't the geniuses here, which is why their M chips were bested by intels euv chips as soon as Intel upgraded its fabs to be more advanced than tsmc for six months. It's all about who's fsb is running the bleeding edge.
