If I go that route it won’t be day one, which means some reviews will come in. This is looking like it may be near RDR2 levels, if it is and reviews confirm it, I could see then deciding to and buying a second copy on PC later.

I would only do that for rockstar and cdpr, honestly because both have made games previously that have been worth it. I get downvoted to hell, but honestly a game like rdr2 is worth $100, even twice over. It’s a masterpiece. Same with cyberpunk for me. If the reviews come in and people say it’s truly a masterpiece, I could be swayed. But that is a pretty high bar.

I’ve been thinking that actually, but they’re overpriced now. But maybe a month or two after release, we’ll see

Yes and no. I use llama server to run my own local models, and then open ice to monitor it. From there a lot of open source services host MCP servers which then can help integrate. I then use it to auto write the documentation on the layout so next time when I say “go to the ZigBee controller and tell me…” It knows first go to the docs, it remembers where it is and any useful commands, then continues on.

I’ve learned that’s just kind of Microsoft’s thing. Whenever they have a product that might actually be a “disruptor” they figure out a way to shoot themselves in the foot.

• iPod landed but lacked video. Microsoft makes the Zune and it was awesome, but clunky software and a boxy shape made it fall, and they killed it before a needed v2.
• Xbox & Xbox 360 had Microsoft riding high, and then they ignored gamers and threw away their target market with the Xbox One
• Hololens promised true AR gaming, and they threw that out before they even made a consumer version.
• Mixed Reality followed Hololens, was genuinely a cheaper VR alternative, had one myself. Then they silently killed it before reducing the hardware to ewaste a couple of years later.
• Windows 7 was their best OS after XP, so of course they change everything about it to make Windows 8
• Skype was the only video calling service that people regularly used, and they bloated it and enshittified it, causing it to collapse just a few years before Covid, allowing Zoom to take over.
• Cortana had genuinely more functionality than Alexa, but they stopped investing in it, forced it down everyone’s throats, then sunset it, leaving ewaste speakers.

(and so many more)

They either come up with a good idea and half ass the execution, leaving the consumer disappointed, or they kill it off before it ever has a chance to take off. Google I guess at least let’s a product get to it’s highest peak making sure they disappoint the maximum amount of users, but Microsoft just makes sure that the users never even arrive.

We weren’t talking about Rockstar’s issues, but okay. I agree, I dislike the disdain towards PC players, but I also think they make some of the best immersive games out there, and so far haven’t disappointed. So yes, I was willing to buy into their hype and marketing, but Sony ruined it for them.

Wow they’re really efficient at enshittification now. They don’t even need to wait for buyin or for the service to be successful! They just enshittify it early now

“Due to the decisions we made, we now fear our own customers”. You know, companies that make good products don’t usually fear their customers.

I was literally ready to buy a PS5 for GTA6, money set aside and all. PC gamer through and through but GTA has always been my game. Sony completely ruined that, and I have no interest in it. Unfortunately others are buying them at inflated costs and wiping my personal refusal out, but still. One less playstation sold, Sony.

But that’s my point, this isn’t like the fediverse, this is true peer to peer, which means one person hosts everyone would theoretically see it, which means everyone would have to see the inevitable horrific shit and prune it themselves.

How do you in a completely decentralized system? If everyone hosts their own then there is no moderation

From me just looking at it, everything they’re trying to do to force US AI supremacy seems to just generate and cause even more pushback. Ban cards to China? China’s ramping up GPU supplying and separating from US dominated supply chains. Ban model exports? They’ll make cheaper and easier models. Idk, whenever you force the market it usually backfires in ways you can’t expect.

Very cool, but repo looks a bit light. Posting about it a few days after creation makes me nervous

Also, I thought about doing something like this but couldn’t get past what I see as the obvious CSAM models that would be posted. I’d like to see what your thoughts are around that, to help prevent large booted gov agents from booting down the doors

Except both CXMT is ramping up and at the same time datacenters buildouts are slowing. Supply is going up and demand is dropping. It’s economics 101.

Correct, and another reason why it’s complex. If it was trained on it that’s bad, but if the user didn’t do the training does that mean what they are doing is okay if it helps them? Or is it bad because of the source? It’s a whole can of worms that we won’t be able to come to a concensus here, too many grey areas.

Company that has a vested interest in keeping prices high says prices will remain high. Yeah, I’m not going to trust that source.

Yeah no idea personally, definitely something I’m not qualified to answer.

I heard there is a theory from therapists that being able to create that content can help quell urges, and so we should allow it if it protects real kids, vile as it is. However others argue it could cause it cause more to cause harm.

Either way, the decision is well above my ability to decide, and while I would hope actual professionals would have a say, unfortunately it’s going to be a political thing. Pandoras box is wide open though.

Okay we tried that cheetos Mac and cheese out of pure curiosity. It was vile. Absolutely vile. I couldn’t do more than 5 bites or so. I mean I didn’t expect much, but it wasn’t edible.

Yeah anytime I see code that I use that interacts with a third party I mirror it to be safe. Repos are small. Especially if the third party isn’t a tech company, like most home assistant things. They are incredibly hostile and letigous against open source projects that have the audacity to make their products better.

always remember to clone/mirror repositories in other places folks. Lawyers got onto Github and Github happily takes things down unless all of the internet comes to push back. Mirror your favorite projects to codeberg, forgejo, gitea, wherever. You never know when someone will be forced to take that project you love down.
