Jensen announced everything Monday. We're just now finding out how deep it goes.
New post: "You Load Sixteen Tokens, What Do You Get?"
The mine got safer. The model stayed the same.

So I was going to let the Jensen post breathe. Then Micron's CEO told Wall Street the same day that autonomous cars will need 300GB of RAM each — server territory — and called robotics a "20-year growth vector."

Jensen Huang sees $1 trillion in AI chip demand and thinks that's a flex. Meanwhile, Nvidia demoed DLSS 5 on a $10,000 rig to add Instagram filters to a game that runs on a six-year-old GPU. When people pushed back? "You're completely wrong."

monument valley girli think it's really insidious how ubiquitous fake notification bubbles are on corporate websites. these things are everywhere and they're very explicitly designed to hijack existing UI standards to trick you into clicking on them, in order to "promote engagement" or whatever. isn't this plainly unethical? doesn't anyone care anymore? #userhostile #techbullshit
think it's worth marking this gripe with my customary hashtags #userhostile and #techbullshit for later convenience

Crest of LightDeleted my Discord account, because next month they are changing all accounts to teen by default. This means all users will need to verify themselves with either a Face Scan or ID, which is a privacy invading move by Discord. There are a lot of NSFW channels that will be destroyed by this move alone...
Given that Discord has been hacked and invaded on the regular...I don't trust this.
I basically lost access to a lot of indie game updates, this sucks. Eh, oh well.

Jon SnowOP: "Alot of people (including some i know personally) play this game alone and use it to help with depression and other mental issues.
Openly making fun of them during the time of the year with the highest suicide rates is certainly a choice."

Windy cityWe talk a lot about User Experience (UX), but I want to talk about User Hostility.
