“Beacons” are a highly marketed socially acceptable thing in the advertising industry that has permeated the insides of most buildings.

Standing too long in one aisle lets them know where you like to browse in the grocery store.

When they first rolled these out in the US at least a decade ago I used to get notifications all the time.

Stuff like “Near Well’s Fargo? Balance your checkbook.” As notifications.

Ty here from Sillyz.Computer pointing out once again, software authorship is and has always been political and not technical.

AI inverted power structures to favor action over bureaucracy and software development is historically the definition of bureaucratic— dating back to IBM backing the Holocaust.

The entire thing is just men LARPing as executives behind closed doors and kids vibing futures is forcing them to keep up while the mask of “the responsible computer adult” continues slipping.

If this is interesting, message me about my “elves”

They are the cognitive construct I fortified in my mind and in my code before the models began producing their own training materials. My approach is based on two decades of coding without ai.

The immunization is becoming increasingly more valuable as people begin understanding the market in which I do business.

I’m describing why Halo worked :)

You’re 100% right that it’s halo, but it wasn’t

“No couch co-op halo”

Bros wanted to help augment the surveillance state with the Kinect on Xbox one originally by having it be a required feature AND for the internet to be online all the time “to validate software licenses”

Whoever can pull an old school 80s Microsoft heist, will win the next era of gaming.

This is a bit hilarious.

Bear with me because it’s getting out of hand.

Micro Soft

Microcomputer software

Broke into the mainstream by being able to hot swap a game.

That grew into the only American driven hardware gaming company: Xbox

The Xbox broke into the mainstream by being able to connect four of them together to have 16 people playing games together under one roof

Now read this article again and laugh a little, it is okay, they’re the driver of this global dystopia and the state of play on Xbox is just the canary of how bad AI is going.

It’s orating.

Yes write, but then orate.

Look at all of our AI feeds.

They want to be us so bad.

When MySpace came out browsers were only able to upload images and not manipulate them with filters like today.

Now cameras on devices like the iPhone will auto “enhance” at the system camera layer

It’s almost if Microsoft had advocated for citizen infrastructure for artificial intelligence, they could have avoided price gouging at the hardware supply chain layer with their younger, more nimble competition, instead they accidentally cannibalized their video game console market, which is their primary driver for future developers, by giving them a vision and a reason to dream about wanting to learn how to make something beautiful to share with the world.

Xbox might die, but gamers will live on.

There’s no gaming industry left for them to press into positive PR.

Yikes.
