Google is adding more AI Overviews and a new ‘AI Mode’ to Search The AI-ification of Google continues

Again, I’m worried about the future of the web ecosystem and the impact of Google’s AI-powered search.

As traffic to content providers declines, their incentives will shrink.

This de-incentivization could ultimately disrupt the entire ecosystem.

Opinion | How Covid Remade Our America, Five Years Later It feels as if the pandemic is behind us. But we’re living in the world it made.

Physical health was not the only thing the COVID virus took away from us.

It turns out that the virus has been far more destructive to our lives than we imagined.

Although the story below is about America, the same seems to be true for South Korea.

Are Gaming Giants Doomed?

Civ 7 looks like a disaster. FM2025 won't be released. Starfield has been forgotten. Cyberpunk.. barely survived. Diablo 4 seems to be losing ground to POE2.

A challenge in the gaming industry is that past success does not guarantee future success.

I plugged an Nvidia RTX 5090 into a gaming handheld The power of Oculink.

This intolerably large – larger than a computer itself – GPU makes me strongly believe that the future of gaming lies in cloud computing.

Who wants to put this monstrous machine in their houses for computing?

Even better! What are exactly improved by the updates?

In a democratic country, all power comes from the people. Any attempt to neutralize and oppress the people will be thwarted. And the organized power of awake citizens will always monitor, check, and punish unjust rulers.

I hope that happens! However, I wish that the will of the people is always reflected through democratic and safe procedures, without the use of force.

I tried the Meta Quest 2, and wow, it was so much better than the one I tried 3–4 years ago.

Revisiting Clean Code—a truly great book.

But with AI assistants becoming prevalent, shouldn’t we revisit its principles?

Will its core philosophy still hold in the AI era?

These AI Minecraft characters did weirdly human stuff all on their own Hundreds of LLM-powered AI agents spontaneously made friends, invented jobs, and spread religion.

LLM-powered AI agents acted like humans in Minecraft, developing in-game jobs, sharing memes, voting on tax reforms, and even spreading a religion.

While surprising, does this imply that LLMs can 'think like' humans or convincingly mimic human behavior?

Yeah. It's very nice to meet you here! Welcome on board!

Who knew Twitter would be ruined by a playful billionaire? The future is unknown indeed. But, I have a good feeling about Bluesky.

Nice to meet you! Happy Thanksgiving!

Interesting. The human mind and its creations can never be free from the unconscious. When it comes to the mind, coincidence is rare.

I loved Twitter. I hated X (and its owner). I tried Threads and Mastodon but quit soon after. I was left wandering.

So far, #Bluesky perfectly reminds me of Twitter. I hope it will be a nice place for me to connect with people.
