I've felt similarly about the vintage game collecting market. I had started collecting old Sega stuff a few years ago, but that's gotten progressively more expensive to the point of not making sense. Learning to use emulators has been a game changer; every Dreamcast game on a mini-pc hooked up to a TV is pure bliss.

ikr?? at first i was kind of ehhh about the whole emulation idea, but then nintendo 64 gamecarts started selling for $500+ online and nintendo itself started doing all this engineered scarcity and i'm like "you know what? no. emulation is good actually".

Been using Emulators since 2011 because I realize there was an alternative way to get the games and it made me trade most of my PS2 games for a Arcade stick lol In regards to AI It's going to be a problem sadly due to other political problems around the world. Ai, Digital ID, and Digital only Payment is kind of tuck in a corner unless someone else speaks out about it.

I replaced the Rayman 3D recommendation with Terraria on the 3DS 15 page. there's actually nothing superior about the 3DS version compared to the N64. quite honestly even the so-called "hi def graphics" are mid at best

no problem. you're right about it being interesting that pewdiepie would be talking about reclaiming your privacy. like, if he can turn all the app-crazy dudebros who still think he's cool, google hasn't got a hope :P

yes i do and im surprised you don't. A, piracy: the same upscalers were trained on the same pirated art and photographs as the generators. B, accuracy: the models don't work well if they need to upscale something that isn't a conventionally attractive white person. C, waste: litres of water get dumped into the analyser and kilos of carbon are output to upscale a single image.

D, ease of re-use: when you get even the appearance of results, it makes it easier to call on generative AI for other things, such as drawing, writing, or even information recall that you would otherwise use your brain for.

deleted my comment to re-write it, but no need since you already responded. I thought upscaling was just filling in pixels to stretch an image, i didnt think it would alter the image. I don't care how the AI is trained, I care what its used for and how accurately. I will look into it and will remove it later if it seems unethical like you say
really sucks how often we run into this these days. on the other hand, a couple doing doordash together is the cutest thing I've ever heard
