Now comic books are kinda out of date, they used to assume you couldn’t be that evil and say you are while no one stops you from your plan while you talk about it non stop.

I don’t have an answer for your first two questions, but I hear you on your comic book take.

I see, thanks!

Got it, thanks for the clarification.

Thiel’s Antichrist scenario is one in which a unified government suppresses technology to impose order, or armageddon, wherein AI takes over and ushers in the end of the world.

Another attendee said the talk revealed a less well-known, more scholarly side of Thiel.

Scholarly, lol. What is it that makes people think that billionaires are more intelligent than they really are, while those billionaires are actually going off the deep end?

Pretty much exactly the same here. Can you tag people on Lemmy (how?) or do you do it on a separate text file?

Who knew that the Twitch CEO was actually the blonde bearded guy from the memes? TIL

Hmmm, I don’t agree. The trend is in the opposite direction. Microsoft Windows used to have a larger market share and supported hardware indefinitely. Now that their market share has shrunk, they are also limiting support for older hardware. This only shows correlation, not causation, but it does show that more competition has not improved the issue and that we need laws to do that instead. MacOS, the primary competitor to Microsoft Windows which also has Microsoft Office available, only supports their hardware for 6-8 years as well.

Edit: just to add, if anything, this actually shows that more competition and reduced market share probably increases the pressure to cut support for older hardware because it probably becomes less profitable to do so.

Is this also the end of Software-Defined Radio in Europe?
