it's worse than that: The Helldivers devs were told that duplicating assets would help HDD load times, but then they actually tested it and it had basically zero effect on load times!

it's just frustrating how you can point out that none of the problems with AI are new and people will interpret that to mean "everything is fine and we just have to accept this new normal", rather than understanding that to mean "we need to change our thinking and tactics to address these issues more broadly and at their root causes instead of buying into AI exceptionalism, which may involve reevaluating other technology we're already alright with"

I remember as a kid the nearby small town had a "computer expert" who had a full storefront and office. If someone bricked their computer or it loaded with viruses he'd factory reset it for them and try to get it working again. He'd also buy, refurbish, rest, and resell old computers. But the main thing he advertised was if people brought him a computer and a list of programs they wanted installed on it he'd get them all set up. Flat rate of like 20 bucks.

got inspired by a #pedestrian post + have been stressed at crosswalks and the like lately sooo.
