      no one is buying a mass market new pc for ‘ai’, they’re buying the new pc because of the forced obsolescence of windows 10 and every pc that predates ‘8th gen’ intel.

        It annoys me that “eighth gen” Intel means something other than the Pentium 3.

    Im so hyped for the future. All this useless innovation while we still struggle to meet basic needs of people.

      When AI surpasses humans it’ll be used for good humanitarian purposes and not for business! Trust me bro!

    “Ai” is largely a gimmick. It can be an impressive gimmick at times, but the failure rate and misses are too common to really trust. I’m an enthusiast, so I have been dabbling a lot with what it can do, and theoretically there are some really cool applications - but we’re not there yet. I’ve got Gemini on my phone, and yeah… I can talk to it about things, but like… Why? The most useful thing I’ve done with it so far is ask it specific game information like, “hey, I’m in x level and I see a chest. I can’t see a way to get it right now, is it something I can come back and get later? Or do I have to figure it out now?”. And it can answer that.

    Saves me from having to look up an ad riddled guide, but that’s not a killer feature. Integration with aps could be huge, where it can actually do whatever task for you, or automate something tedious, but that’s still not super common. I’d rather personally and directly control anything vaguely important.

    It’s really a solution looking for a problem.

      Yeah, except it can also get things very wrong. I tested it against my RuneScape knowledge. RuneScape is niche enough to not have them “fixing up” stuff specifically for it to make it look good and big enough that there has been a lot written for the LLM to go off of.

      Suffice to say its advice was plausible sounding but inefficient if not outright grammatically correct nonsense. I would’ve been better served in every case by looking up player made guides.

      Yeah it’s kind of that last bit there.

      I honestly don’t know what they’re going to do with AI stuff but I feel it’s going to be a huge bust. The fundamentals of the technology are just completely unproven. To me it seems like a bunch of people invested in a palm reading machine and then (because they have a lot of money) tried to convince themselves and everyone else that the palm reading machine really is going to change the would (and they didn’t just get scammed).

    Way too early for this tech… but at least we got some beast NPU designs. This is useful in science work.

    I hope everyone who got laid off because these overpaid shit-for-brains monkeyfucks blew all the money on garbage tech they didn’t understand goes on a tirade against them that topples each company in short order.
