@ck0 followed by doing some stretch and curling to nap on top of the server?

@Sythelux without ever thinking whether that "book" actually exists or whether the chat bot is simply roleplaying by stringing together words that look like what a coauthor would have written.

@nixCraft though you have to admit that even back then, the corpo were already trying hard to attach some strings into all the examples you list, with various levels of success, ranging from "never caugh on" (CD from Sony), to become part of the standard even if useless (CSS on DVD, also eventually Macrovision on videotape), to actual pain in the butt (DRM in games and software).

Even more reason to support the alternatives!

@jimray warning: body horror, freudian self destruction, etc. It's Sunji Ito, after all.
But, I find funny how the "inescapable horror" plot device there suddenly has become a metaphore of what the big corp try to do now.
I guess it's almost a Torment Nexus...

@jimray The plot device in Sunji Ito's "The Enigma of Amigara Fault" manga of "made for you" personalized holes on a mountain into which lonely people feel irresistibly compelled to enter despite certain doom...
suddenly an apt metaphore about modern AI-slop filled corporate social media.

@SecurityWriter don't worry, "Cloud play" will also bring this "no matter how fast your device is" crap to gaming - the last bastion where high end current generation *local* hardware used to make a difference.
