Of course I’m talking about looks, as that is literally the only thing people take issue about with this car.

Got nothing to do with being close minded lol. You’re saying “read about the downsides of going digital” and I’m saying I don’t need to because I already know them and accept them.

I don’t need to read anything this topic because I’m well aware of the downsides and repercussions of what I’m doing. The benefits outweigh them, like I said.

It’s not just the models that make the big players great, it’s the proprietary tools to use those models. Claude code, codex, seedance, etc are what everyone wants and what are so groundbreaking, not the LLM that they use.

Making RAM isn’t like making a shirt or a suitcase v it’s an extremely specialised and extremely expensive business, and this should be apparent given there are literally only 3 manufacturers in the world.

Making ram is incredibly hard and expensive, that’s why there are only 3 companies in the entire world that do it. For a new company to attempt to do it now, they’d have to outlay tens/hundreds of billions of dollars and a decade before they see a cent of revenue.

Their birth rate is “In collapse” because they already have a gigantic population that is too big.

There is literally zero incentive for companies to make ram and sell it cheap. The market is used to current prices, and by 2030 current prices will be looked at as cheap.

People that think there’s going to be an AI crash are in for a rough future. The genie is out of its bottle and it’s never going back in.

You may as well be saying that there’s going to be an EV crash.

I have a work issued Lenovo Thinkpad P14S Gen6 AMD with a Ryzen 9 AI, 2TB nvme, and 64GB of GDDR5 RAM. It cost $2600 last October.

Went to buy more of them for other devs last week as their Dells are just hot garbage and are being refunded, who wants to guess what the price of the exact same machine though Lenovo directly again is now?

$6800.

Absolutely insane.

Apple haven’t designed a radically different looking product, or one that bad looking, for decades. Jonny Ive didn’t design that atrocity. He designed the interior, and that shows.

I don’t need to read anything. I understand the benefits and also the drawbacks of digital licenses.

To me, and to most people, the benefits - instant access, all games accessible without getting off your lounge, no possibility of losing/breaking discs, home console/family sharing, no “sold out” chance, among others - outweigh being able to re-sell and lend to people.

These days even the physical prices are not much cheaper than digital, and digital copies go on much better sales that are more available.

The Apple from the 80s and 90s, 30-40 years ago, is not the same Apple as in 2026.

No, because the digital uptake began as soon as digital copies of every game were made available on the 360. People like me have basically been digital-only since then. Digital only consoles didn’t start until generations later.

There’s no way Apple would have designed something that bad.

Good for you, but you’re one of an incredibly small number of people. Most people prefer the convenience of digital.

If you can’t understand why “gas heads” prefer ICE cars over EVs, you aren’t a car person. That’s fine, but don’t pretend to know why they prefer ICEs.

No it wasn’t. He only designed the interior.

Jony Ive only designed the interior. He had nothing to do with the exterior of the car.

Jony Ive only designed the interior of this monstrosity.
