I know you don't trust it, but if you ask AI whether or not any AI models are profitable, it will confirm that many already are and cite examples.

AI hallucinations are not a source, all you have to do is show a single earnings report to prove me wrong. Nvidia is the only profitable AI-adjacent company, and that's because they sell the tangible hardware powering it, not just snake oil like the rest of the industry.

For that matter, you could simply explain to me how you would go about making an AI model profitable. All anyone has come up with so far is selling ad space in conversations, and that's failed to keep most websites profitable for decades now. It has also failed in the most basic of human-driven tasks, such as taking orders for drive-thru customers at McDonald's. So what's your grand proposal?

Am I reading it right that it will only work with NTSC consoles?

I noticed that as well and AFAIK it doesn't make sense if this is a true repro.

Again AFAIK, if anything it would be the NTSC-J JP MD that it would be incompatible with due to the physical cart.

definitely feels more like a niche collectors piece then a copy you'll use regularly, unlike paying $80 for GTA 6 and just getting a code in a box, there's much cheaper ways to play Sonic 1 if you rather prefer it

I just used it as an example of companies exploiting the retro scene as well as a joking about the cost.

Bearing in mind that unless they did something like custom moulds, MD repros are relatively cheap to make since they don't use a lockout chip.

I just wonder how many people will buy this hoping it appreciates in value, as opposed to just liking the product.
