Shit like this aint meant for you and me.

Its meant for big industrial scale data whores, like Palantir, and youtube, and CIA.

They better be getting a fuckin paycheck too.

Don’t get to steal peoples work, then go “oopsie”, slap their name in credits, and think alls well.

Yep, and I wager the steam machine is probably going to be, at minimum, 50% more expensive than valve planned it to be, which more than likely will kill it on arrival as far as price/performance goes.

Will there be die hards who buy it no matter the price? yeah… but i wager it’ll see a fraction of sales that the deck did, due to ram and storage price bullshit thanks to AI fucking everything up.

Never thought I’d miss bill gates, but jesus christ microsoft has been a spiral of awful ideas and terrible implementations since he stepped down.

i think its a bit much to still ask the steam deck to run new releases well, especially with valves refusal to release performance updated version unless they can make major, foundational improvements such that it would basically be a steam deck 2

the steam deck is 4 years old, afterall, and it wasnt exactly a top end machine when it released… being little more than a slightly modified APU based system.

Now all it needs to do is randomize your fingerprint.

because your fingerprint can be just as, if not more identifiable and trackable, than your cookies and such.

Because if something exists in a vacuum, without challenge, then theres no motivation for betterment and no repercussions for enshitification.

probably the same reason I refused to let it go.

I actually own it, control it, and can use it at my wimsy.

vs streaming, which I could buy it and still have it taken away from me cause you never own anything when its streaming/digital download.

worker productivity continues to climb ever higher, yet wages never grow with it.

take someone from the 1950s office and ask them to do the same amount of work that an officer worker today does, and they’d quit on the spot. especially since they’d be paid less today than they were in the 1950s as far as buying power goes.

No, I dont use it.

I get enough hallucinations and blatant lies from biologicals, I don’t need an AI erasing a mountain to consume the coal underneath to tell me made up bullshit.

Line must goes up until it hits a ceiling, then system collapses… but line go up again after!

remember that ram drive that gigabyte made like 20+ years ago?

That worked by putting sticks of ram in it, with… i think AA batteries? to maintain the data during power downs?

AI is the last great bubble.

And it, like all bubbles, will pop.

You are already seeing the people in the know flee the field.

You see reports that every company that has adopted it has at best changed nothing, at worst lost money on it.

Outside of the psychotic linked in CEO bubble, literally no one wants AI. And every day its generating more and more hate due to its halucinations, mistakes, and bullshit.

Its garnering massive negative attention for its use, and for anyone stupid enough to adopt it at this point (cough intel cough)

Its a dying star, and people are frantically trying to harvest the last bits of warmth from it before going off in search of new horizons.

i mean, i thought you were wanting to save money…

a predictable lemmy.ml user retort.

probably wont delete the other data either. just make it so the profile doesnt show as existing anymore and claim its deleted.

These companys are addicted to data and will never give it up.

You don’t have to be a sociopath to be a CEO, but most CEOs are sociopaths… because sociopathic traits, mostly lack of empathy and zero issue with being horribly manipulative, are traits that tend to be selected for to move up to this level.

“Its not an addiction, I’m not addicted snorts line off a toilet seat I’M PERFECTLY FUNCTIONAL”

Even if you limit it to 720p, if it were to be even a quarter as popular as youtube, the bandwith and storage requirements would still be astronomical.

not to even mention the computational power required to process and transcode all that data from whatever format you upload it to, into whatever format the platform wants.

spite and hatred are incredibly powerful motivators.
