Nightmare scenario for Nintendo.

Given the current landscape of using LLMs to decomp/reverse-engineer everything, I wonder if gaming corporations will try to get on their communities' good graces by being less "hostile" towards the users; I don't see anyone rushing to decompile Valve games, as they provide a good service and are well liked by pretty much everyone.

My suspicion is that Nintendo, litigious as they are, will shut down any decomp project that pops up and attempt to pressure Anthropic/OpenAI/others to extend the guardrails in their models further to "protect their intellectual property".

The key word here is "impose". I can imagine a world where at time of purchase you would select which OS (if any) you would want pre-installed on the machine. Even a checkbox for Yes/No Windows would be an improvement.

The Apple foldable is coming. There's no way they invested so much R&D for a thinner phone if they aren't looking to get into that market.

The problem then it's anti-SLAPP not doing what it's supposed to.

I'm rather new to the concept of objects and morphisms myself, but I love how fields like category theory allow one to "zoom out" far enough in abstraction that two seemingly different concepts are actually the same applied to distinct contexts.

Doesn't the very nature of open-source mean you can just abandon it and have someone else take up the torch when you're done maintaining it?

In that case, Linux creators would be liable for not taking any steps within the Linux kernel preventing you from pirating a game on the platform.

I feel like the "killer app problem" is not unique to the Quest, but the whole VR ecosystem. I'm being cautiously optimistic Apple will finally break through and find an app that will appeal to the masses, and even though the price is not attainable for 95% of the population, that will trickle down and find it's way to the broader market.

>So what’s the killer app?

I feel like the answer to that question will come next year, when Apple's Vision Pro is out.
