I love the presentation! Would you mind sharing the source code?

This (and a global pandemic) are central to the plot of The Talos Principle, a 2014 puzzle game. Can't say much more without spoilers, but we'd better hope its other predictions for the future don't come true.

...is that the entire article? This reads like the thesis statement for a much longer article or book.

It's not one-click, or at least it wasn't for me. I clicked the link in the sentence "If you prefer to opt out of letting Fi use and share your CPNI with Alphabet and Google services, you can do so by replying here", and it took me to the Google Fi homepage. I had to then click on Settings, "Privacy & Security", and finally on "Allow CPNI Sharing". Four clicks total.

The signatories on this are not crackpots. Hinton is incredibly influential, and he quit his job at Google so he could "freely speak out about the risks of A.I."

Loading cached JS can still be very slow. https://www.webperf.tips/tip/cached-js-misconceptions/ has a good explanation of the bottlenecks involved.

> Subsequent reloads from browser cache it's up barely long enough to notice.

Are you measuring the time on your personal machine, or a machine that represents what your typical visitor is using? If you're using a recent Macbook, that's going to have very different performance characteristics than, say, an old Android phone. Something that's instantaneous on a Macbook could take ages on an old Android.

I've been in the same situation, and it's one of the few times I've appreciated the bureaucracy and red tape that come with being at a Fortune 500 company. Whenever the sales team comes to me asking for another tracking pixel, I just say "We'll be happy to add this once you've submitted the necessary paperwork and it undergoes the the company-mandated security, privacy, and legal reviews". 90% of the time, I never hear back from them again.

Elden Ring earned $720m in the first 2 weeks, which averages ~$51m a day.

Elden Ring isn't going to be a standalone game. The publisher (Bandai Namco) says it's the start of a franchise, which fans are almost certain to lap up for a long time to come. Had Elden Ring included microtransactions or other questionable features, it's likely fans would be far less enthusiastic about future installments, which means revenue from the franchise would dry up faster.
