Of course not. He's a pos of a YouTubers, he's not a genocidal maniac.

Yet, he's a proud representation of the absolute mess we're in. Some genius 200 years ago had the great idea of saying it was ok to remove any ethic/humanity from the economy. And now, we're living in a dystopian hell where it's ok to profit from misery and where empathy is a sin.

He could organise squid games to sell cereal without blinking. Empty husks profiting.

    Not the problem. Most of his videos are exploiting human misery to makes a few bucks.

    The dude made people torture each other, jump in burning houses to make views. That's simply pure evil and not something I intend my child to think it's normal.

    Any barely good society would simply shame him out of business .

    The size of the pool is of no importance globally. You're still creating the same amount of heat

    The only real difference is that the river heat can get higher because it's more localised and, therefore, can cause more trouble along the way.

    But from the pov of the ocean ? Rounding error

    I see your point. It's evident valve don't have the production power of a Sony (even if they got absolutely destroyed for months for each release) or Nintendo.

    I don't know if it's really a "problem" per se. They're a lot smaller as a hardware builder so they can't have the same infrastructures,I don't think the demand would be strong enough. But that certainly makes them an easier target for scalpers

    Just like for any product... Give me one awaited product that didn't get recked by scalpers.

    Ps5, switch 2, ... Hell even ram...

    When you have enough money, scarcity is easily created. What would you want ? To have businesses to have production lines that can handle release volume? What do you do with them after, when the demand is slowing, it's faaaaaaarrrr from free.

    That's a really shitty take my friend. Scalpers are people with money and time that are creating scarcity.

    They're basically building a temporary monopole to impose stupid price. It should be illegal just like concert ticket reselling is being blocked in a lot of country.

    They are shitty people who don't give a flying fuck about anyone else and who would sell their mother's if they could. Soulless husk

    They did not. Computers were able to do things that were almost impossible to do by hands.

    LLMs don't do that. They regurgitate what we've been doing for decades.

    They're great to brute force some problem tho. You give them shitloads of data and they're incredible to go through it.

    Problem is, we took a REALLY unfinished tech and tried to package it as the saviour .
