  • Like, sometimes these things would be quite useful for me. I’m someone who goes into fight or flight (often fight) when I receive a leas than positive email at work. Having something smart enough to interrupt me before I do something hasty and tell me to puss off for a couple of minutes first would be really useful. But a system like that can’t ever live I’m the hands of someone I don’t trust.

    It’s like immich. The idea of having an AI go through all your images and labeling them is something I usually balled at with google or meta, but when it’s all local on my machine and I can turn it on or off at will makes all the difference.






  • To play devil’s advocate; it might be that the RAM producers see AI as a bubble, and it would be incredibly risky to expand their production now, when it won’t come into effect until a handful of years from now.

    RAM and SSD manufacturers have already seen many many dips and rises in price over decades.

    However, that all of them are deciding not to expand and potentially rake in the cash is more than a little sus.

    I’m not sure how to feel about it personally. I hope the true cost of maintaining these AI models gets passed down to customers soon so that it either crashes and burn, or at the very least stabilises the market.















  • I’m not saying the game isn’t good now. They’ve done a fantastic job getting it to where it is now and everyone should definitely give it a second chance. But Rockband (I’m a huge RB nerd btw, my friends and I definitely skipped a few too many school days to play it all day instead) and Minecraft gets poked fun of because they really are just digital Lego and hitting plastic together, but they are still among the best games ever. The closest equivalent I can think of for NMS was that the game had a very shallow game loop of collecting resources and upgrade your ship, which is what it was when it first launched.

    I don’t see much hate for NMS anymore, either people forgot it exists or they are praising how good it has become.
