The Autumn/Winter timing of big console game releases

Evolutionary principles combined with our human needs tends to favour indoor pursuits at this time of year in the western part of the world. There is a good amount of evidence that we spend more time indoors near our computers at this time of year. So the lack of motivation to be outdoors during colder weather combined with the excitement of a new computer game equals more screen time.


I think it is often worth reviewing users screen habits in general, the study of how much screen time on what device is of value to us and the ratios between devices are sure to change as time goes by. However, we can assume that screen time each day is several hours, some of which will be playing console games for those that own the equipment.


The psychology of purchasing of big games titles at this time of year falls into environmental circumstances combined with the want of the user to be current and fashionable. The challenge of completing the game can provide satisfaction and status in the gamer community as well as serving as a worthwhile goal for the user.

Trust in humanoid robots and autonomous vehicles.

I viewed a Google YouTube short of Elon Musk getting his hair cut by an optimus humanoid robot and I thought about how impressive it is to have a skilled robot. Also, after a short discussion with some automotive professionals the topic of trust came up with reference to autonomous vehicles, “would you trust it?” They said. Well I thought that trust can be increased in stages by having the humanoid robot carry out riskier tasks, for example optimus might perform  a perfect straight razor shave  I'm sure Elon and others will be happy to volunteer once the optimus has been perfected. Happy holidays and a super prosperous 2025!

In current times employees intelligence can be augmented by AI and in particular Gen AI and it's about how well the employee can use gen AI to extend their human capabilities or make up for any deficiencies/weaknesses. How much weighting should the average employee give to the results of gen ai prompts? Are the employees generally rewarded or admonished for relying on gen ai? Is there more credit given to ideas that have been created by a human mind only or does the use of gen ai matter? Should every business have a gen ai usage policy? This post was created without the direct use of gen ai.
