1) server host has to pay less for the bandwidth and storage, which are the biggest costs for them, end user has to download less, making it take less time and using less data, which is still relevant for mobile users, but some desktop users as well (rip). a 90% difference is massive (see https://squoosh.app/) 3) the end user doesn't notice the difference if they are just scrolling past an image or something 4) old formats are inefficient due to older tech. 5) webm (webp is based on that) vs h264 was a massive fight with licenses and different tech companies picked their side a decade ago. There is a reason apple can't play webms (they put their focus on h264), why you need to buy a hevc codec for 89 cents in the MS store and why you can't display webps on windows images. Because fuck you. 6) AVIF (and AV1) is the new hot kid on the block all the tech companies decided was _the_ new thing. No loicense or any of that shit. Guess what can be displayed in safari AND windows image viewer without a problem, despite being rather new? The sad side of this that anything that isn't AVIF is getting shit on, like JPEGXL, which seems a hype af tech which would allow another massive savings, is backwards compatible to jpg and still is fast (this is a problem WEBP and AVIF have, they are SLOOOW to encode, webp is still tolerable though. Using AV1 HW might change that but that's still rather new)
wow, I wonder if this has been attempted before where it also failed (it has, multiple times). The logic is that legacy media loses money due to embeds basically posting your entire story by just the headline alone/people don’t bother reading any further, causing you to lose ad money. In the previous cases the legacy media did either wave the license fee or when they couldn’t, they got fucked over entirely because no one found their shit anymore.
Aqua keeps expanding his harem, after which the new members are stuck in the agency room, with the only purpose to exposition dump or be jealous of him while he’s picking up more hoes.
Entirely different circumstances, One Piece is a movie created in the west with all the stipulations that come with it, while Japanese media is known for its weird humour.
It’s funny you say that, BACK IN MY DAY you could find information easily and more reliably via google (or search engine of choice), now that experience is shit but I still need to do it to double-check GPT, nice meme.
Researchers say we will have AGI by like 2059. Managers do love chatgpt because they can be even lazier by just feeding their financial reports into some machine and it says “beep boop, money go up”, but you still need to double check if it’s actually true, so you could have done it in the first place. Furthermore you induce AI generated brain rot because people won’t be able to think on their own. But hey, managers think metaverse gonna pop off because their entire job is to generate hype.
