  • Large language models are going to replace search. Naturally concise recommendations are easier for humans to interact with than a swath of web pages. The problem that you get here is this is going to disincentive the creation of new web content outside of the walled gardens we already have. The walls are just going to get higher.

  • 💯 exactly where I learned about it too.

  • Yeah they don't even need you to on TV and recant your crimes against the state. They can just disappear you and train an AI to become a mouthpiece for the state. Wild.

  • I gotta be honest, I love his deadpan dry ass thumbnails.

  • That's what happens when you have to be a loss-leader to secure your position in the market. Even when the government steps in to protect you you still claim it's a loss even though you've been crowned leader.

  • Just a thought, remakes like this tend to appeal to people in the PC crowd. We've all moved to PC for various different reasons. Better games, better prices, better hardware? Emulation and software preservation is the name of the game for a lot of people. Those people are working everyday to make things like the steam deck the dream game console they always wanted. That's the kind of person who will go back and replay Final Fantasy 7 four or five times.

  • The tale of Elon will be retold to our children for years to come about how billionaire philanthropists were incredibly dumb. How they squandered all their good faith and love for a payout before they cut and run. Never forget the tale of Elon, a man who could not tell right from wrong. He wanted to save us from a future grim as long as it was saved by him.

  • They don't care. They are lazy cowards who will give up everyone's rights for a false sense of safety. Trump can say whatever he wants because they don't take anything he says seriously. The more active among them are convinced that Trump is a "tool" to get what they want. Little do they know they are the ones being used.

  • 150 million is nothing for what Linus has control over. That's like the combined net worth of 100 of the top paid strippers in Vegas. (I'm going by vice documentary numbers)

  • Agreed. This is something that is very much overlooked when people talk about how manufacturing in China works. The country is split into special economic zones that have different rules and laws that govern the regions. This allows them to uniquely exploit their labor markets to keep their costs as low as possible.

    iPhones are built by FoxConn in their Shenzhen factories. See FoxConn Suicides for more.

  • Abso lutely. Microsoft and Google basically have a duopoly on corporate email and no one seems to care. I know this does seem relevant but trust me it is.

  • This. Buying power of the average American has decreased drastically. If you worked for the last five years and your pay has changed you've technically made less money every year as the power of the dollar has diminished. If you're on a fixed income it feels even worse.

  • It's funny especially because the attachment rate of the average gamer to a console is like less than 4 games. Microsoft killed their cash cow when they mismanaged Halo into oblivion. Players came to Xbox for Halo not the other way around. Once they had that audience they invested into them with more titles (like halo 3 and gears of war) and improved online experiences, by the time the 360 was done, Microsoft's new direction for the console including the announcement (then retraction) of CD keys being their new killer feature, they lost the entire audience at the turn of the hardware generation. Players ended up mostly on PC at that point.

  • I'm noticing the language used over and over now is "live service" instead of "game". I'm coming around to the idea that what they're trying to do is replace the fact that a game used to be a "good" with it being a "service". That accursed farms video from 5 years ago titled "games as a service is fraud" was spot on. Link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUAX0gnZ3Nw

  • Hell yeah brother. Started playing Hades 2 on my custom chimeraOS PC yesterday in the living room. I absolutely love the experience. I've been considering getting that Hx100 PC from minisforum and running bazzite on there to replace my custom PC for a smaller console like footprint. The time is nigh!
