The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them-Turkish proverb

Reminds me of when TV manufacturers starting rolling out televisions with frame interpolation enabled by default, and that tech destroys the cinematic quality of movies and makes them feel like home videos. But that is on a compelling different level than this. That wasn't destroying the world.
I was asked to talk about DLSS5, but then I got angry about DLSS5, and so that's what in this @kotaku.com article.

People who believe in an imminent Rapture/Armageddon don't have anything invested in what happens to you here on Earth. You are irrelevant to them and will be treated accordingly.

Maybe Trump is the exit dose this whole fucked-up system needed? It’s like chemotherapy — the poison ALMOST kills the system but out of that chaos comes the death of the cancer? If this tears apart MAGA *and* neoliberalism then go man go.

I’m quite seriously concerned about the economic collapse that’ll come with the AI bubble popping, and I feel like this really illustrates why: so many headlines touting huge numbers and insane productivity for services there is absolutely no market for. Who wants 8,000 extra books a year?
Why? Who is this meant to be good for? Nobody wants your shit AI books, never mind 8,000 in a year. Just a terrible idea and a horrible road the publishing industry is heading down.

So, now The Running Man turns out to be prophetic. Yikes.
Could we at least live in the kind of cinematic dystopia that wouldn’t have gone direct to video?
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.

While she starts of pointing out how the games industry is falling apart for no good reason, the real point of this is that it's all the fault of Wall Street, and how any publicly traded company is on a short leash by faceless investors who demand profit above anything else. It's affects EVERYTHING
I spent well over a month talking to investors to get the actual data behind what’s happening to the games industry. I was going to say “enjoy!” but it’s, uh, not great.

People are surprised now? Seriously? I understood the purpose of these crazy tariffs as soon as they were announced. YES. There purpose is to sabotage our economy and drive all citizens into abject poverty. Then they will have absolute control. Bonus: 90% dead could reverse climate crisis.
