First apple tag, now this. Apple must really love the creepy stalkers they cater to.

I only scrolled over it but every time I stopped to read another sentence, it got worse.

From what I understood open-weights models are too efficient, too cheap, don’t consume enough energy, and don’t require to construct as many super data centers. That’s why they are… dangerous?

The schizophrenia of the AI industry is laid bare in this fever dream of a statement. My god, we really cannot afford to have tech CEOs running things as a society. All they seem to be interested in is killing us.

Most of these are such universal experiences that most of us lived them growing up. I know I did. I also saw them in old cartoons that predate Miyamoto‘s work. These things are universal concepts often depicted in media long before he was born.

Yup. Obviously that person is insanely thin skinned and tried to deceive people before which has lead to all this drama in the first place. Shitty behavior if it happened but can we be sure it actually did?

Because the backlash from the community sure might look like senseless bullying to the receiver if you lack any self awareness and refuse to take responsibility for your actions.

For all we know they might just blow this out of proportion. They‘re known to overreact after all.

So China has their own ouroboros now. Congratulations?

It‘s how virtually every startup in Silicon Valley still operates. Bait and Switch is the business model of the 21st century.

I know about the Donkey Kong thing but that doesn‘t seem related to Miyamoto‘s claim at all. That‘s just a work story. There‘s nothing about actual life in there.

And yes Star Fox was designed after a shrine spirit near Nintendo headquarters, making him much more of a „real life anecdote“ than Mario or Donkey Kong.

I re-played that a few months ago, actually. Still one of the best Zelda games but I did not cry, no. There are so many strange things there that it‘s honestly hard to believe much of it was drawn from life, though. It feels like an otherworldly dream and that‘s the point, I think.

Remember when OpenAI seemed idealistic? To most people, anyway. This is the same. DeepSeek has already been caught lying to inflate hype. They‘re grifters like all the other AI companies.

What‘s Miyamoto‘s history with apes and plumbers? I would love to hear about those stories.

Really the only time I remember him giving examples of drawing inspiration from real life was a fox statue at a shrine inspiring him to design Star Fox or something. That seems pretty far removed from reality if you ask me.

I never played more Nintendo games in a year and I didn‘t pay for a single one!

Ah so prices will go down, right? Riiiight? Hahaha

Gnarly. Hate them double dippers.

You will own nothing but corporations will still hold you, the consumer, responsible when their decisions have catastrophic outcomes for everybody.

This loophole (if we can even call it that because it‘s just stupid marketing) makes it even worse than regular gambling. It‘s unregulated and very easy to exploit even by other participants. Everything about this is illegal in pretty much any country no matter how you word it. It‘s actually insane how slow countries are to do something about those criminals.

The internet peaked over a decade ago when bandwidth was alright for what we consumed and attention seekers have only infested mainstream media. You could navigate around them. Most forums have died since the early 2010s and you have to deal with these faking clowns even in the tidiest niches that we have left. People have become completely obsessed with attention and money. It‘s all the internet is good for anymore. At least if you ask most users.

People seem to miss the point that it‘s probably more about information than anything else. They know this shit isn‘t productive. Deep down, they know they‘re selling crap. But it produces tons of data from users. Silicon valley knows this best. That‘s why they „protect AI companies“. They just want to harvest the data themselves.

Consumerism being a democratic process is probably the most effective propaganda capitalists have fabricated.

LOL what? This is some „your carbon footprint“ level horseshit. It‘s like saying you the consumer chose global warming or to lose your job to automation. I mean, did you choose to live near a data center that was build last month? I didn‘t think so either.

We‘re not one tightly organized mass making decisions with far reaching consequences together as consumers. Providers on the other hand practice price-fixing and lobbying in an organized manner. That‘s where I would start pointing my finger at to explain this mess.

I, the consumer are terribly powerless. Only we, the people can change these things for the better by gutting these corporations.

Modern day Robin Hood.
