am I wrong in thinking that the users are the product and advertisers the customer?

I think there was/is a monetization route through the use of user data (probably why they’re pushing their app so much) as well as using all the data for things like language AI modeling.

But on that last one it seems like the biggest players such as openAI and Microsoft already scraped their site freely. Not sure if they’ve missed a big chunk of that opportunity by now

I have developed the impression, and it’s mostly just my hunch not so much evidence based - spez and co are kind of kicking themselves for being oblivious to the AI training rush and failing to monetize on it. Probably didn’t even realize it was happening until we all did via crazy headlines showing up in news about what AI could do. That kind of thing may lead to kneejerk decisions on api access

Work then I’m gonna take a walk and watch fireworks around town. Then get online and look for firework accident videos

 

I have read that since photons have no valid reference frame they don’t experience time. They move through space at c so no time value, in essence.

But space and time are the same in relativity and space obviously affects photons ie they experience eachother. Photons redshift over distance and time, as the most obvious example.

So how is it that a photon can’t “experience time” yet it experiences space? Why isn’t redshifting over X ly considered experiencing time already?

I’m just a layman so I’m having a hard time reconciling a photon not experiencing time due to not having a valid reference frame; but that just doesn’t affect its deal with space? It gets a valid reference frame in space then?

It’s the only of its kind as far as I’m aware and tbh, I had a lot of frustrations with various design choices they made.. but with nothing else like it I enjoyed it and will buy this one too lol. I don’t expect them to change their approach on a few things but I can tolerate it just for the sake of a souls shooter

But it’s a shame because I didn’t really enjoy too many of the boss fights. Ironic since that’s usually a big draw for these games

I don’t have huge amounts of spare time, probably one hour at a time a few times a week

Damn I don’t think I’d even bother with that kind of schedule, honestly. I’ve played most of them and I can’t think of any that I think I could’ve ‘properly enjoyed’ on that kind of schedule. Even the older games will take tens of hours and you’ll occasionally need to keep things in mind for later in the game (places to go check out, storyline bits, where tf to go next). I’ve restarted before because I couldn’t remember where to go next >.>

And these games are solid overall but they can have extended lulls and you’ll end up spending entire gaming sessions in boring parts lol

If you don’t mind graphics I’d just do the golden age, the psx gen games. So like ff7-9 and Tactics.

These are imo the highest quality games in the franchise and Tactics is the most well written and themed game in the whole franchise too.

The remasters of 7-9 on current gen consoles (probably on pc too?) have a speed up button so you can get through the slow parts much faster. It’s really helpful and I wish all of them had it

Just reading it gives me a primal desire to disagree. Please tell me what’s coming in 2035
