A while ago I decided it would be cool to find my old PlayStation 2 and try out some Need for Speed Underground 2. Little did I know this would turn into a rabbit hole journey. This re-introduced several technical challenges that are solved with modern video technology. The first challenge was that I no longer had the video cable from the console to the TV which was what lead to the problem statement: How can I get the best picture quality possible from the PS2 to the TV?

The current state of technology is AI - or large language models, to be precise. Everyone is excited about it. It will change our lives and disrupt entire markets. They say. Society is no longer driven by facts, but instead narratives that fits into whatever political agenda. That being to please shareholders, or fear of missing out on something. It is good to be excited about something, this all comes at a cost.
