  • The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K

    Jump

  • Right? I really don’t get it.

    It’s the law of diminishing returns. When we went from 480p to 720p, it was a huge jump, something everyone noticed.

    But the jump to 1080p was much less noticeable, to the point that people just thought its no different than 720p.

    Now we have 4K, and most people stream, so it’s a bad bitrate ensuring it doesn’t look good all so the consumer feels like they are getting more cause 4K sounds cool.

    I’m sooo glad 8K is not becoming a thing.

  • I don’t find this hard to believe at all.

    Tried to play halo 3 campaign for the first time a little while back.

    It really felt aged, like an upgraded ps2 game essentially.

    And this was the pc version mind you.

  • Yes, my point was that even though educated people would agree, you would push the uneducated further with rhetoric like this.

    Having said that, that’s not a problem with an audience such as us.

  • But what if it’s a slow burn instead of a bang?

    Also, remember how eastern Roman Empire kept going, on an unrelated note, Canada’s economy is actually doing decent compared to the US.

  • I agree with the post but it conveniently avoids the actual issue. They are blamed for:

    • Cost of living
    • Job availability

    I’m not saying that they do affect these negatively, but that these two subjects are making life harder for regular people. So when someone sees something like “immigrants don’t affect me”, they just assume the poster is rich enough not to be squeezed like the rest of us.

    Capitalism gotta have its scapegoats or else it won’t work.

  • You're claiming that if capitalism tends to backslide into X, then X is part of capitalism. My point is that every system can backslide into something more primitive where a strong man makes the rules.

    I mean, that’s such a broad take, any system can change, doesn’t mean it’s inevitable. My point was that the core mechanism of capitalism, which is the private ownership of capital and means of production, will always concentrate wealth and power further and further.

    We have had systems of feudalism and monarchies that have stayed steady for hundreds of years. In pre history, people lived in communes for thousands of years.

    What is unique about capitalism is that it must move as fast as possible, hence why it can’t stay steady, thereby it changing to late stage is part of the design (as in you can’t have capitalism without it), whereas any other system does not, through its own mechanism, move towards some kind of endgame.

  • So just because it’s possible for any system to become corrupt that means they are all the same?

    I’m claiming that capitalism in particular is one of the most corruptible systems, it’s basically by design.

    It tries to harness the power of greed and turn it into positive sum games, which don’t seem to work in practice after early stage capitalism.

    It’s an optimization problem, how can we minimize corruptions by changing what forces drive our society. I think greed driving society maximizes corruption and think we should replace that with something else. Saying all systems can become corrupt doesn’t add anything to the task at hand.

  • If capitalism will always naturally morph into this late stage that seems similar to feudalism, then that’s part of capitalism.

    It’s like saying you like playing monopoly but then after all the properties are bought out you turn around and say it’s no longer monopoly.
