How am I being left behind by not using AI? I have a fully functional brain that I can use to do anything AI can and better.

How can a random generator be deterministic?

$230 for essentially a fancy numpad that's only useful for one tool? Welcome to the AI revolution

Sounds like a lot of work just for it to maybe not work anyways

So many of the replies are saying that they should've restricted access using .md files and whatnot. Is really any guarantee that they even follow those? It seems like even if you ask pretty please don't touch those files, there's a chance they will. So many people have just willingly installed spyware on their computers and big tech calls this the next big thing.

Writing a JS engine for OS 9 in 2026 is like, genuinely impressive

Couldn't think of a less urgent "civil rights" issue in the United States right now than this.

Isn't thermal throttling an issue for all laptops, really any computer?

Also the keyboards have improved a lot since the original butterfly design.

Gaming is in a really tough spot right now, and it's not being made easier by the drain AI has put on chip and RAM prices. It's absolutely insane that Sony and Microsoft have had to raise prices on their years-old consoles.

Retro Studios is a subsidiary of Nintendo, actually! Not sure how it's structured organizationally, but Nintendo does own it.

Web apps are a scourge.

The latest remote at least has directional buttons, and I think you can disable the touch part entirely. Might be worth looking into, I think you can buy it separately and it works with most if not all Apple TV's.

Simple solution here is to not use AI?

So their "humanistic" approach is just marketing, huge surprise /s

I mean gen AI is based on theft, I don't really see that as a deterrent. I don't want the companies to exist, and having government ownership sounds like a convenient way to get bailed out when the bubble pops

Must feed the AI slop machines!!

There goes my 401k

What the fuck?

Choosing AI over human authenticity is a death sentence.

That's depressing

So all that hype for the AI revolution just for it to be... taking advantage of cheap overseas labor after all?

Please tell me you're being sarcastic.

And AI investors and stock market boosters are just going to accept OpenAI not having anything "new" to show for all their investments? What about replacing hardware once it's been burned out from constant high usage? Is it not odd to you that so many big AI deals get announced and never heard from again? What's the business reason for neoclouds buying GPU's from NVIDIA only for NVIDIA to then pay them to rent them back? How does this make any sense?

Yeah a lot of AI hype is look at the amazing new thing our new model can do! Like Google at this event. But when pressed about its pricing reality the answer is “use a worse cheaper model”?? Real convincing argument there

Also OpenAI somehow having 44% of the world’s population as its customer base is a plainly absurd goal and will never happen, not in 5 years

Then why do they constantly need more and more funding from VC and Google and MS and NVIDIA? Why is it all circular dealing? Why aren’t there smaller AI startups running these smaller, “profitable” models?

Then why haven't they reported any profits using GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles)? They all use ARR which is easily gamed.

If it's profitable, why haven't they reported any profits? People like Ed Zitron have done the math and it just doesn't add up. I mean he just published this piece today: https://www.wheresyoured.at/ai-is-too-expensive/

You never needed a crew of people to make videos. This is just outsourcing people's creativity.

That sounds like absolute hell
