Wasn't the efficacy of the focus/bionic reading stuff disproven awhile back? Are people still using it?

Yeah idk why people dig it, but they do. Maybe placebo

> But there is also the fun side of it becoming a status symbol I guess. Drive up future demand.

For the Steam Controller that's very clearly at least partly what's going on. Valve's "we didn't expect the demand!" schtick is getting pretty hard to buy when they clearly expected around the same expectations for V2 as for V1. PC gaming usage has grown massively since the first controller came out.

Exactly what I thought.

The beginning of the end of the free and open internet was the rise of the walled garden. The final nail in the coffin is that every search result for "independent blogs" and "free and open internet" these days goes to politically challenged morons like this.

Simply put, the people running their own websites and blogs aren't "normal" anymore. The "normal" people are on the big platforms, unfortunately.

In addition to the wonders of the physical world, national parks, lakefront properties, skiing locations becoming owned by and run for the rich, advertising is moving further from the consumer to investors, their true market. They don't need the poors anymore.

Bun is now almost twice the size of JavaScriptCore, too, by linecount after this.

This is the 'world class' engineering that Jarred claims he can't hire Americans to do, by the way https://x.com/jarredsumner/status/1969751721737077247. This company is parasitic to its literal (javascript) core.

> It is straight up wrong to say "if you have ASLR enabled, you're not at any risk from this" and saying this is extremely harmful for anyone that trusts claims like that.

You can safely assume a 1:1 overlap between the people that claim "AI will solve cyber" (and they always say 'cyber') and the people saying this.

> Does nobody remember his old videos rambling about women and gender topics, for example?

No one remembers these because they don't exist.

This is gaslighting.

You need better proof than tiktok buzzwords. This isn't reddit.

The difference is that the Not Just Bikes guy is actually doing what the parent commenter is claiming Louis (only) does and Louis in reality does a lot more than that like what's in TFA.

Not Just Bikes makes reddit posts for redditors in YouTube form, basically. Louis actually supports people and projects. There's no 'schtick', consumer repair is core to his business and his channel.

The Empire of AI book seriously did permanent damage on this talking point.
