I've always though the current AI technology we have would be perfect for generating new planets or fauna in a game like No Mans Sky. I feel most players wouldn't have a problem with it being used that way.
No Man's Sky already works without gen AI to do this incredibly well. I don't see what value gen AI adds when the current system allows for better tuning of parameters for generation and a gen AI model is more of a black box.
I don't have a full sized truck, but I do have a Tacoma (similar to the Hilux iirc for Europeans). The main reason I got it was because Toyota is well known for cars that last forever, but also to tow a camper and to do some offroad exploring and camping. It has also come in handy for helping move stuff for friends, I recently used it to carry a bunch of bags of sand and dirt for a friend. The utility it offers has come in handy compared to my old Ford Escape.
This really is a major issue imho. Many of the people here and those who are more tech savvy would be willing to pay for such a thing, but we are a very small minority. 90% of people don't care, or are unable or unwilling to understand the consequences of having all their data vacuumed up by corporations like Google and Facebook. Its a Tyranny of the majority type of situation. I'm not sure what the solution to this would be other than maybe better educating the populace.
Most of these things are emotionally driven. Education won’t do shit unless it’s coupled with some kind of training action. People will just laugh it off or accept it. Most people have literally come to accept their phone is listening to them for ads!
Either regulation, or it needs to get so shitty and painful that people get a reflexive avoidance thing going on.
The real problem is that all the downsides of the "tracking and advertising" tech world are largely hypotheticals and/or so subtle and divorced from day to day life as to be almost imperceptible.
There hasn't really been a "reap what you sow" moment for people who threw privacy caution to the wind for free stuff.
I sure hope it takes a bit longer than that. It would not be fun having only Qualcomm chips to choose from as a CPU. Either that or Intel/AMD start making their own ARM chips
