If this is what it takes for us to get sockets back on our RAM and CPUs in consumer tech, so be it.

Not to mention listing “accidentally ending all humanity” as a real risk of your business.

Good on them! Perhaps one day, like their robot dogs, they might even reach some level of self-awareness!

Note to self: automate utilities churning and deal hunting to maximise savings.

Ah yes, we must be getting closer to their IPO date.

My favourite part of this is that Zuck was so out of ideas that he tried to reinvent Google Glass at great expense and is running into exactly the same social brick wall that project did.

And we’re about to watch Anthropic go through the same thing with their IPO. Late-stage capitalism sucks.

I swear this is the real reason AI companies are concerned about watermarking - not for the public good, but so they can keep their model training inputs clean.

Reminds me of Sam Altman saying he uses AI to make a podcast about his kids sports game so they can listen to it on the way to school. As if talking to your children wasn’t an option.

All these tech bros creating solutions in search of a problem.

For real? That is some dystopian Minority Report level advertising right there.

This is what pisses me off the most - they committed PS5 to physical media the second they made a disc edition. Any reasonable customer would interpret that as discs being a viable format for the lifetime of the console. If they were making a call for PS6 and beyond I’d understand, but they took our money for the disc edition, then reneged on their commitment to it. There’s a class action lawsuit here for sure.

The other problem is bandwidth. Even if you can run Kimi K3 locally, AI usage patterns tend to be very bursty. Having the scalability of cloud compute to run multiple agents and sessions at once makes it much more usable.

Press F to pray respects

Exact same strategy they used for Chinese EVs… head in the sand while China steals their global marketshare. I still get a chuckle when Americans paint Chinese EVs as poor/lesser quality.

Weapons of Math Destruction. A good read about algorithmic discrimination, this is more of the same.

I would have understood them making this call for PS6 onwards - digital edition only. But while they’re still selling disc PS5s at eye-watering prices? What the fuck are they thinking? Way to burn good will with your ever-shrinking fanbase.

I’m in the games industry and I can tell you first-hand nobody is making games targetting future hardware right now.

The pattern used to be to optimise assuming your current average hardware would be minspec by the time your game came out. That’s no longer true and everyone knows it.

If you pick up a used 3060, you’ll have a solid gaming PC for many years to come.

We just got sick of approving all those annoying prompts! /s

It’s substantially faster than most programmers at finding bugs too.

You forget we are in an echo chamber here. Most people not only read the AI summaries, they believe them. Just the other day I saw a normie ask ChatGPT to add up some numbers for them, instead of using a calculator. That’s how entrenched AI has become in their day-to-day. They don’t have to think any more. Thinking is hard. And that’s how Google is able to dominate the web. Steal the data and serve it up as slop that’s good enough for the everyday Joe.
