  • “Vote for us or russia wins”. This is probably the worst election campaign I’ve ever seen. Yeah, PiS is a bunch of thugs that has very high tolerance for people that could be working on behalf of russia. At the same time PiS government provided Ukraine with most tanks out of any nation. What PO is doing is just fucking irresponsible, take a look at this this ad they aired a day after Fico was shot.

    And that’s not even the most depressing thing. PiS and PO keep calling each other russian agents but won’t even mention far right Konfederacja that has obvious ties to Putin because they could be their coalition partner one day. PiS courted them prior to and after last elections but ultimately they wouldn’t have majority anyway. PO knows that if New Left ever grows balls and quits coalition there won’t be any other way to remain in power.

    Every piece of hardware in a given budget is ultimately a product of compromise. 3D capabilities of N64 are way beyond what PS can offer - texture filtering and Z buffer just put Playstation to shame. No CD is equally embarrassing to N64. The controller… well, it was a weird time.
















  • It will not be economically viable once AI companies have to pay for their training data. So far they made some deals with press/media but multimedia is a can of worms that’s waiting to explode in our faces. So far they’re getting away with this because doing things and then asking for permission / forgiveness is a very Sillicon Valley thing to do.

    Technology itself seems to be in a plateau. The whole AI computer thing is just moving computation offline because amounts of energy needed are unsustainable and have to be dumped on consumers. We haven’t seen that much progress since ChatGPT took the world by storm.

    I’m not saying AI is a fad. It’s revolutionizing medical research for example, and those industries actually own the data they’re training AI on. EU sees this and is currently working on streamlining exchanging this data across member states too.


  • You’re not entirely wrong but it’s a very shallow take. Left is conscious of lower classes because it’s rooted in egalitarism. Some right wing parties, especially Christian democrats are socially conscious because it’s the right thing to do. Liberals should be treated as a separate thing that boils down to “every man for himself”.

    PiS was neither, they bought votes by starting social programs right before elections. It wouldn’t be so bad if they weren’t so inept at solving actual problems. In the end they were just throwing money at people to solve problems on their own.

    Left favors systemic solutions so PiS had more in common with liberals, especially when you consider their tax reform that cut down taxes for nearly everyone. Thankfully their monetary policy was not liberal level of brain dead so regardless of that they reduced debt by a lot.
