"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
This is a stupid take on so many levels.
Getting tired of this trend of people cobbling up hot takes from other people's opinions.
What framerate can ChatGPT deliver in Cyberpunk 2077?
Yeah, this seems like a pretty weird take. It doesn't take massive compute power to run a web browser and use a search engine.
Nothing that I built my computer for is related to what an LLM would do for me.
The industry is going to move towards stream only games very soon. Stadia failed because it was a small player that tried to early.
That's one of the slippery slopes of always online SP. "If need to be always online anyway, why not just stream the game?"
Yeah only if cloud gaming was attempted by a big player like Microsoft, Sony, Google or Microsoft..
It is, and it doesn't have the backlash stadia has. Google is massive, but stadia was a relatively small product that tried to starts already enshitified.
Amazon is creeping slowly with Luna, Sony has many games locked behind stream only (PS now). Do you think they want to be the ones paying for the compute for the goodness of their hearts?
I didn't know ps had streaming only games. Looking it up it seems to be specifically ps3 titles, which makes sense to me considering that the ps3 cell processor is notoriously hard to emulate.
Online only single player games are able to exist because most people have some sort of a connection all the time and they either don't know or care that the game is connecting to internet when they play.
Cloud gaming is a noticeably worse experience and it has much stricter requirements. I think you underestimate the backlash there would be if the next cod just downloaded a streaming client.
I am concerned that a generation of gamers will sink thousands of dollars into streaming services, end up owning nothing and have a worse experience in the process. I don't know how to prevent that other than giving people financial stability to make smart decisions.
Stadia failed because it's a flawed concept. Latency is a real thing and running local will always be a better experience.
This is absolutely the sentiment of executives, which is why it's so hilarious to see the 'friendslop' genre becoming so popular with $20 games like Peak snatching their profits.
In my opinion the best possible version of our immediate future is going to look more like this. Execs fire their talent, and the talent memes them to death.
I really hope so
This is all the result of “fuck you” capitalism
What services can LLM-AI providers offer that would otherwise require high RAM usage at home? I feel like people who do home video editing for example aren't going to be asking ChatGPT to be splicing their footage.
Running a LLM on your own hardware.
I'm way out of the loop on that. Is that more than just a hobby?
Slow as fuck unless you have a monster rig. Doing a basic job is like rendering a 4K 120 FPS video. Text comes out like an 1890s ticker-tape telegram.
We will always need some level of edge compute.
But I was there for the heyday of cloud. The need for edge compute was ignored or dismissed.
Ironically, the edge compute we ended up with after everything moved to cloud is very memory-intensive. Hmmm.
