I don’t see how it will have any effect beyond what the Steam store already has on the indie market. Indies already flourish thanks to Steam’s use of discovery algorithms instead of human curation.

The Steam Machine isn’t going to compete with consoles. It’s not a replacement for a console and the target market for this machine is PC users not console users. Console gamers who don’t know what Steam is will not buy this machine like they didn’t buy Steam Decks instead of Nintendo Switches. The goal of Valve’s hardware push is to show that an alternative for Windows is possible. Valve wants to break Microsoft’s monopoly on the PC market. Since Microsoft is the biggest threat for Valve. The more anti-consumer Windows becomes the more it puts Valve’s business in danger, since a shitty Windows experience can push PC gamers towards consoles.

If the bio dad also did the test then Ancestry will match it with this kid.

They can probably reuse the individual clips, but not this exact edit. The edit was still done by a human. AI can’t produce an entire coherent sequence of different clips. Generative AI basically can’t produce clips longer than 10 seconds without going wonky, it can’t even transition to a different camera angle in the same clip. Also the audio and music in this ad is copyrighted.

The Coke ad is still edited by a human though. So you probably can’t use the same shot for shot sequence. Like if you created a movie by editing clips together from public domain movies you created a derivative work and that work is copyrightable. Even if you don’t own the copyright on the individual clips you own the copyright on the new creative expression. So people can’t just copy your exact edit. Like the idea is not copyrightable but the execution of that idea is.

Also health care won’t be affordable for long if everyone just decides to indulge in unhealthy food and stops exercising

No but the amount of tourism a country gets does not correlate to the English fluency of the average citizen of that country.

They are still not centrists on the political spectrum though. The political spectrum doesn’t shift right just because the political landscape shifts to the right.

?? Japan has a lot of tourism and you’d be hard pressed to find a Japanese person that can speak English proficiently

For email you should also get your own domain. So it’s much easier to move to another email provider when you inevitably need to migrate again.

The Switch 2 is selling faster than the Switch 1 during it’s launch period. So Nintendo’s new leadership is not negatively affecting the company. Also even under Yamauchi and Iwata Nintendo never fixed drifting analogue sticks, so that is new leadership continuing the course.

This gives off «Despite Being Only 13 Percent of the Population» vibes

This happens because search engines have become worse and worse over the years. Unless you’ve installed adblockers or have a pi-hole. Not to mention that many search results Google returns are just AI generated websites. And the average person isn’t going to pay for Kagi to get a better search engine.

Nark Stark or Ned Sted?

Well step 1 should be: Beat that meat into submission

And thus this is how progressive America can win back the country.
