It's bad news for PC people, but I suppose it makes sense from a business perspective. We all have seen how well XBox is, and a big part of its current state is because of their "strategy of having 0 exclusive titles. Why would I buy an XBox if on other platform I can play all those games and more? The answer previously was GamePass, but now that it's been enshittified, the platform has nothing.

It's again nonsense brought by people that does not understand technology. How can Archlinux or Gentoo guarantee that the age check exists if the user does not install the corresponding package? What about my router, will it have to verify my age before connecting WiFi? And what about my smart light bulb? Will it have to verify my age to turn on?

Had Iron Lung on the radar for quite some time, but don't know any of the others. Will check out this bundle!

I knew I would end up lamenting joining, but unfortunately there are so many interesting communities you can reach only there 😡

Most of the replies are quite OK, to bad they'll not retreat on the slop machine usage.

Quoting: GuestWhat makes them so exited? We had procedurally generated worlds for years. Game engines to quickly import some character model to do basic stuff in them aren't new either. But now you call it AI and everybody acts like it's the second coming of christ.

The difference is you can do this with simple text prompts. It is an impressive tech, but as happens with most generative AI tools, real world use cases might be quite limited. Is it impressive you can get something looking like a Zelda BotW clone in minutes? Yes it is. But it is missing all that makes Zelda BotW a great game (on top of all the legal issues, economical and environmental disaster generative AI is, etc.). Yeah, using generative AI you can generate games in hours, maybe even minutes. But how much will it take generating a game **someone wants to actually play**?

It's like that experiment in which one Cursor guy built a browser in a week, that barely compiled and ran even worse. Is it an impressive feat the slop machine built a browser in a week? Yes, it is (even if it worked really bad when it managed to even start, and relied heavily on Servo code). But that's as far as the slop machine will take it. How much effort would take to patch those millions of lines of technical debt until you reach a production ready web browser? I suspect you'd be better throwing all of it to the trash and start from scratch, now with a real brain doing the work.

This is very bad news, at least for the Steam Machine. It's a bit tight performance wise, so each day it is delayed, it becomes less and less attractive.

So yeah, we can thank Sam Altman for killing one of the best opportunities after de Deck, for Linux to gain market share. At least thanks to him, we can feed ourselves tons of slop on Youtube 🤮

Now Nintendo needs an AI tool to automate Cease & Desists.

Quoting: Nic264

Quoting: hardpenguinHow about you disable them by default, Mozilla, and have people unleash AI at their own peril -_-

This is dumb. So dumb.

What's dumb about translations and OCR?

Blind hatred for anything labeled with “AI” is as pointless as hatred for anything that uses linked lists.

Translations and OCR are not the things that have caused the hatred.

And you know. Stop playing dumb.
