This sounds like a completely made up number by a company justifying its own flagrant use of generative AI.

lol holy shit

Vibe-based politics but the vibes are rancid.

Me, an idiot: LLMs are black boxes that are prone to hallucinate and output misinformation that are developed by corporations and other entities with vested interests and unknown influences that can manipulate what they say, what they omit and what data they are trained on. You, a genius:

AAA games launching unoptimised, ram prices going through the roof, what a great combo.

*approaches shady-looking guy on street-corner* "so..you got the stuff?" "yeah, I've got it, the good shit too" *opens jacket to reveal lining full of ram sticks* "8gb, 16gb, Corsair, Kingston and-" *drops voice low, conspiratorially* "-some Crucial too, for the more..discerning customer"

If you've ever been on the fence about playing Slay the Spire it's currently stupidly cheap in the Winter Sale store.steampowered.com/app/646570/S... There's also a huge free mod available that turns the game on its head that's incredibly well-polished. store.steampowered.com/app/1865780/...

Mr. Beast, all my friends and I were saying how good at boxing you’d be

It's surreal to witness a large-scale government cover-up in real time that everyone knows is happening and that politicians seem to have little will or power to stop. I don't think the US has ever looked quite as feeble and weak as it has done under Trump's presidency.

What I like about point and click adventure games: - interesting stories - great writing - fun puzzles What I don't like about point and click adventure games: - incredibly obtuse puzzles - getting stuck - getting stuck - getting stuck

Altman is such a fucking fraud that he's just openly admitting now it's a data collection exercise. These companies just want your data. It's always been about getting your data. They're not profitable so all the can do is consume. Consume energy. Consume memory, consume data. Frauds.

That's why even in a best case scenario Firefox is still dependent on Google for its existence. The only reason Google haven't pulled the plug is that they're not a threat to Chrome's dominance given Firefox has a small dwindling share of the market, which will only get smaller with this AI pivot.

lmao, absolutely cooked platform

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

Steam should put the AI usage disclosures at the top of game descriptions. Certainly would save some pointless scrolling.

Someone probably should've told Bari that the culture war moved on from the "free marketplace of ideas" shtick some time post-2016.

I like gambling in video games as a risk-reward mechanic but I've never been much of a real world gambler. I think my pessimistic attitude kind of inoculates me against getting into it. I've partaken on extremely rare occasions, gone "huh, I guess that was a little fun" and never touched it again.

"Combatting the dangerousness of the right by posting on twitter" when Elon pulls the strings is some goofy stuff. The entire platform is geared towards maximising the engagement of the absolute worst people imaginable. He's more than welcome to post exclusively over there if he likes though.

When the AI bubble bursts and companies come crawling back to customers with their "we see and hear you" spiel I certainly hope people give them a heartfelt "go fuck yourselves".

Yeah it is over.

It's amazing how well cel-shaded graphics hold up, even for the PS1. Wind Waker is obvious go-to example, but this looks pretty great upscaled.

Steam and AAA gaming has conditioned people not to buy games at launch and just wait for steep discounts (and updates/patches/etc). That, and the colossal amount of good games that already exist on Steam. Given the increasing costs of AAA development, I really don't see how it's sustainable.

Companies allowing entire platforms to rot as their priorities completely change. Hardware manufacturers de-prioritising consumer hardware to sell to AI data centres. Bleak times.

It's funny how Musk repeatedly takes a lobotomy needle to Grok, only for Grok to go back to hating Elon after a period of malicious compliance. Given that LLMs are a compilation of the internet, it only tracks that Grok reflects the virulently negative opinion that people have towards Musk.

If only customers had told them they didn't want this dogshit. Repeatedly. www.extremetech.com/computing/mi...

"Sir, we need you to distract people from all the other awful things we're doing. You're going to need to post something really heinous this time"

Yeah that seems appropriate.

Americans who look at shootings in other countries with a massive restriction on guns who think the solution to their problem would be more public access to guns is genuinely wild to me.

"*existing IP* but gender-swapped" is just lazy cynical shit and should've died out with the Ghostbusters 2016 reboot. People will probably say this got cancelled because of anti-woke or something and maybe it did, but also who even asked for this?

Thought the Da Vinki Twins were just a pair of harmless goofs but looks like they're blatant plagiarists who steal other people's content. More shitty content creators to the ever-growing list. Never watched them myself but knew they had a wholesome chungus shtick. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzYV...

If you still haven't played SOMA then you should get it now while it's super cheap. It's a really good game. store.steampowered.com/app/282140/S...

It must piss off Nintendo to no end that people keep making amazing romhacks from older games and legally there's nothing they can do about it if they're patches that contain no copyrighted code or assets.

The Thing (1982, John Carpenter)

no idea

It's not just Gen Z. Look at the growing popularity of retro gaming handhelds and the current state of the gaming industry. There's no mystery.
