I wonder if developers will finally start taking middle end GPUs and the existing handhelds seriously.
There are “Deck optimized” games that run horrendously. But what if people can’t afford new hardware for the next four years? It’s either fix the performance or lose sales. The Switch 2 is likely going to become the most common performance target, and having only 12GBs of shared memory, it actually helps PCs in this situation.
Until the day CPUs aren’t sold to you either. Just the weakest most useless little blob of silicon that’s enough to connect to their servers, and then you run everything on the server.
I’ll never game or do my general computing as a subscription to a server.
If it comes a day when I can’t buy a GPU and run a game myself, I’m not going to game anymore. Simple as that.
AI doesn’t reason, so it heavily depends on what’s been presented in the training set.
Python is everywhere and most importantly whatever you can think exists in Python, from critical bioinformatics tools to somebody learning programming from the first time and posting their prime number finder or sorting algorithm online.
Rust? Not at that point yet, so the AI fails
If they’re as good at the game as LLMs are at writing, the bots would probably try to build a Nether portal using black wool instead of obsidian, then set it on fire, then die burning on said fire.
There are ways to do that WITHOUT treating you like a criminal, wasting your time, and making you work for free tagging images for their image recognition tools.
For instance, https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis and other derivatives.
One of the rules was no AI during development, they voluntarily claimed they didn’t use it.
They used it. Sure, in a minor way, but they used it and got caught.
The rules are the rules. Some chess events ban caffeine, we might laugh and say drinking a cup of coffee is not a big deal - but they’d be disqualified.
didn’t hear of Librewolf, Floorp or Waterfox apparently
So projects that depend entirely on Firefox, and therefore the idea of boycotting Firefox and making it economically not viable means also killing these forks… Hmm… I feel like there might be a logical flaw somewhere here…
But Lemmy told me Firefox was over and AI would be forced upon every single text field, and that we should migrate to Chrome forks maintained by 15 year old children!
By themselves yes. The fact that there are 20 different mirrors and modified versions and only one is the original is not.
I react with either neutral apathy, disgust or surprise when somebody tries to show me their latest AI generated blob. Repeat twice and they stop using it. Our fear of social embarassment is higher than our desire to use AI.
“Look at this picture of me in a Ghibli style I generated”
“Oh… It’s kinda bad isn’t it? I’d avoid sharing it”
“Oh remember what we were debating earlier? Gemini said that…”
“Oh I know what you’re going to say, it said something totally dumb, right? I know, one must be very stupid to trust it haha so anyway what were you saying?”

I don’t follow the AI bubble trend at all. But I have been seeing alot of videos all of a sudden, popping up in my recommended talking about it. Who knows.
A few banks started issuing warnings, and some of the “biggest upcoming launches” were extremely underwhelming, like Sora 2 and GPT 5. Not only that, but the companies going all in on replacing workers with AI are still not showing a clear return on investment, so this combination is making people more aware about the bubble.
“1000x faster?” Learn to lie better
Analogue computers are indeed capable of doing a task 1000x faster than a regular computer. The difference is they do only that task, in a very specific way, and with one specific type of output. You can 3D print at home an “analogue computer” that can solve calculus equations, it can technically be faster than a CPU, but that’s the only thing it can do, it’s complex, and the output is a drawing on paper.
If you come up with a repeatable and precise set of mechanical movements that are analogous to the problem you want to solve, you can indeed come up with headlines like that.

Sure, but the scientists doing those kinds of workflows don’t have anywhere near the money to burn on GPUs
I’m working in a lab that is purchasing a cluster with a price tag you wouldn’t believe even if I could share it, which I can’t. We are publicly funded. Scientists are buying this hardware, for this price, because the speed up we get is tremendous.
but the something in play has little value out of the AI bubble.
You’re delusional if you think GPUs are of little value. LLMs and fancy image generation are a bubble.
The gargantuan computational cost of running the machine learning processing that is now required for protein folding and molecular docking is not.
I wish. Even knowing it’s all a gigantic scam, they’ll first protect themselves before letting it burst and screw everybody else. The rich get a buffer period.
WHY poison Wikipédia with AI? I don’t get it, what satisfaction does a person get from adding text they didn’t write to Wikipédia? It’s not like you get a gold medal, or your neighbor sees you as a hero, or you get a discount at McDonald’s, there’s no glamour on being an editor, so why even bother if you’re not going to write quality content out of passion?
Please leave Wikipédia alone, you don’t have to shove your AI bullshit everywhere, please leave somewhere in this god forsaken internet alone. Why must AI bros touch everything.
