It is the move if you want to be Jensen's little bitch, and want to fuck gaming and computer ownership for everyone, forever.

The technology isn't inherently evil. The actual problem is the way our societies are set up, ironically incentivizing sociopathic behaviour even among members of a single nation, nevermind when geopolitics get involved.

Let's imagine I have a blog and put something along these lines somewhere on every page: "This content is provided free of charge for humans to experience. It may also be automatically accessed for search indexing and archival purposes. For licensing information for other uses, contact the author."

If I then get hit by a rude AI scraper, what chances would I have to sue the hell out of them in EU courts for copyright violation (uhh, my articles cost 100k a pop for AI training, actually) and the de facto DDoS attack?

Lunar Lake had integrated RAM, right? Given certain market realities right now, it could be a real boon for them if they keep that design.

I really liked the chill vibe and it ran surprisingly well for a 3D browser game. Are there any "secrets" besides the alien, space ship and the girl on the roof who talks about Three.js?

Some would argue we are already living Cyberpunk, just without all the cool stuff.

BTW, why single out "the EU block becoming regulatory" as something negative prophesied by Cyberpunk? I have recently watched a video about the timeline of Cyberpunk 2020/2077 (which is just one universe, granted), and the EU sounded like the only ones who had their shit together, even though they were facing sabotage from all directions.
