I find it indescribably funny that no matter what, every news site somehow manages to always put a mobile app install screen with the company’s product as the banner image for their articles, even in this case, when I think most people would have probably never even thought of Steam as a mobile app, only as PC software.

How have I never heard of this before!? I’ve been looking for exactly this for ages now.

Already spinning up a docker container!

Whoops, no clue how that happened, fixed!

And when traditional AI programs can be run on much lower end hardware with the same speed and quality, those chips will have no use. (Spoiler alert, it’s happening right now.)

Corporations, for some reason, can’t fathom why people wouldn’t want to pay hundreds of dollars more just for a chip that can run AI models they won’t need most of the time.

If I want to use an AI model, I will, but if you keep developing shitty features that nobody wants using it, just because “AI = new & innovative,” then I have no incentive to use it. LLMs are useful to me sometimes, but an LLM that tries to summarize the activity on my computer isn’t that useful to me, so I’m not going to pay extra for a chip that I won’t even use for that purpose.

It’s generally not an accurate statement to say that piracy drives down sales, at least when you look at overall measurements. You’re definitely correct in assuming pirates want to support developers (and media creators in general) that they enjoy the works of, because pirates are by far the largest purchasers of content compared to traditional content purchasers

Gotta love this quote from the article: “piracy doesn’t mean a lost sale if the person pirating the game couldn’t afford it in the first place.”

I’ve seen this happen time and time again with people I know who simply couldn’t pay even a single dollar for a game, and had no other options available. They deserve to experience culture and entertainment just as much as the rest of us.
