So, it seems I’m really out of the loop. Is this some AI thing generating a video from my comment? Or does this scroll through all comments while “recording” the screen?

Thanks for your reply :) This grew quite detailed and more thorough than I had expected. But I’m thankful to now have something to read up on. It will take me a while though.

There are two follow-ups:

1. I’d be surprised if there weren’t libraries for the networking parts already. You briefly mentioned there would be for at least data types for the interfacing and wrote that I should instead use my own solution instead for said reasons. Well, are there libraries I can use for networking? What you mentioned sounds very low level.

2. What do you mean with point (3), where the client “should do more” than the server? The server would be authoritative and the client predicting. But, do you mean that the server shouldn’t do so much heavy lifting like working with game physics?

Thanks!

Imagine a car company disabling your car.

I don’t think the issue is corps feeding the internet into AI systems. The real issue is gatekeeping to information and only giving access to this information while milking the individual for data by trackers, money by subscriptions, and more money by ads (that we pay for with subscriptions).

Another larger issue that I fear is often ignored is the amount of control large corporations and in theory the government can have over us just by looking at our trace we leave in the internet. Just have a look at Russia and China for real world examples of this.

Think further. Don’t own a phone anymore but only smart glasses.

Crazy. And their algorithm for that is probably also not transparent.

Great article on Google Adsense :) I accidentally clicked on one of the ads. Enjoy the extra penny.
