And let's not forget that the bots doing most of the upvoting and downvoting are more likely to upvote bot comments, driving the algorithm.

The internet as a public forum is dead. And given the purpose of something is what it does, this is the true goal of AI. I'm certain blowing up the internet benefits very many wealthy and powerful people.

Something like this could do without the selfie cam, or bezels in general.

Pretty sure minecraft has used borderless full screen for a long time unless you go out of your way to tell it not to. Lots of platforms, services, and applications have been deprecating exclusive full screen over the past decade or so.

And if you don't think this is half decent, just replace "now" with "soon".

see, you keep saying that, but it never comes true. First of all, you suggest that just because progress has been fast up to now, it will continue being fast. I think that's something like Gambler's fallacy. Secondly, the progress we're seeing is not like linear progress to 100%. It continues to get certain things extremely wrong. This might be half decent today for fooling the elderly, but it's not a good look for artistic expression or even marketing for that matter.

For me it's as if I'm missing a muscle in my right hand. I can do the Vulcan salute just fine with my left, but not at all with my right. I simply don't have the same input responsible for that specific motion. I have no trouble typing with both hands or doing most tasks, as we're adaptable, but it's still a physical limitation.

Here's an experiment - place both of your hands flat down on your desk, and on each hand try to tap your ring finger on the surface without lifting or moving any of the other fingers. I can do this hard enough to make a noise with my left, but not with my right.
