I bet the remake will be fine, it’s just technical upgrades, no new writing or anything. Maybe not as “soulful” as Skyblivion, but fine.
What I am more worried about is “fun” writing and storytelling in new games.
EDIT: Wrong reply, but you get the idea @acosmichippo@lemmy.world
I mean, Starfield should have been my dream game, but after that…
I dunno. All my enthusiasm for BGS has been sapped, and I adored Oblvion.
Aww man, are they going to take down Skyblivion right when its done?
Well yes, it’s Nvidia.
Even at the enterprise demos, the running joke is that Nvidia is fudging claims big time.
That’s still more positive than summaries from Cohere, Qwen, Deepseek, FuseAI and Arcee 32B (the latter two being combinations of different models, it’s complicated) in my quick test.
…And I’d recommend them all, TBH. Use anything but ChatGPT for the same reasons you’d use Lemmy over Reddit.
This is just them going for regulatory capture. Again. The “tiered” country system, the controls on model weights, centralizing regulation in Washington, focus on datacenter build out (instead of on device inference), and more, it’s all just a big middle finger to open, locally runnable weights without saying it.
And they’re trying to justify it with Chinese hate more than “safety” fearmongering this time, even though this would let them run circles around the US (in time, though not without OpenAI making a healthy profit first).
They want to own your access, not let you have it.
QwQ 32B did a decent job writing that out:
OpenAI’s proposal contains elements that could inadvertently or intentionally hinder open-source/open-weights AI and smaller competitors, while also raising concerns about regulatory capture. Here’s a breakdown of key points:
OpenAI’s proposals, while framed as pro-innovation, risk entrenching its own dominance and disadvantaging smaller, open-source competitors through:
Verdict: While OpenAI positions itself as advocating for “freedom,” the proposals contain structural biases that could stifle open-source/open-weights innovation and enable regulatory capture. The focus on national competition with China overshadows neutral, inclusive frameworks, raising questions about whether the plan prioritizes U.S. corporate leadership over democratizing AI.
And it was generated on my desktop. That I own, in my house, with the PC completely disconnected from the internet atm, with some settings and features OpenAI would never let me have.
We never said they’re real.
Hybrids can be simple too.
The problem with EVs is that the battery is massive, expensive, and suffers from the the tyranny of the rocket equation: The more battery you have, the more battery you need to haul that battery around, and so on.
Hence, pure EVs are extremely heavy and expensive.
Stick in a self contained generator, just a few horsepower like a backup generator you’d find at Lowe’s, and it short circuits this equation. You can have a really small, lightweight battery on a lightweight frame because a four horsepower range extender weighs practically nothing, and is ridiculously fuel efficient from being so small and constant RPM.
That’s what a plug in hybrid is. All electric, with a backup generator in the boot and like 1000lb lighter.
This is very distinct from true hybrid ICE vehicles like the Prius, which is a frankly a stupid way to engineer it these days. The only reason they do is because it uses existing ICE manufacturing, as it’s mostly an ICE car with a transmission and everything.
And why doesn’t anyone make those? Well, in the US, they aren’t “premium” because they’re tainted by gas. If you have the manufacturing set up for EVs, mind as well make super expensive luxury cars that sell for higher margins. This is wha Tesla has always done.
TBH Teslas have always been status symbols for the uber wealthy.
If they were a true “people’s car,” they’d be plug in hybrids with a tiny gas generator… and like half the price, with less emissions from production.
Tesla is sort of a public-facing proxy for Musk’s wealth, and is becoming a lightning rod.
It’s not so much about practicality, but desperation and an opportunity to send a message.
Welcome to Lemmy. Here’s your Molotov, the guillotine is just down the hall. First left.
It doesn’t have to be.
That’s why pushing locally run, sanely implemented LLMs is so important, for the same reason you’d promote Lemmy instead of just telling people not to use Reddit.
This is my biggest divergence with Lemmy’s political average, probably: AI haters are going to bring this to reality, as they are just pushing out “dangerous” local LLMs in favor of crappy corporate UIs.
Apple could pitch in just for the sake of sticking it to Google.
For most people, use Open Web UI (along with its many extensions) and the LLM API of your choice. There are hundreds to choose from.
You can run an endpoint for it locally if you have a big GPU, but TBH it’s not great you have at least like 10GB of vram, ideally 20GB.
Why doesn’t Mozilla just fork Chromium? Anything bad sneaks in, they rip it out. New feature? Develop it specifically without paying for the whole browser. From the user’s perspective, very little changes, but cost savings would be massive.
It would also be a good high profile tab of “bad things Chrome/Chromium is doing”
EDIT: It would also justify regulating Chromium like a monopoly, though I think that government ship has sailed.
Lemmy is not commercial, so the more fundamental problem will be battling bots, hosting, legal issues, and attracting users from sites that burn cash on advertising and entrapment, probably.
The community could get toxic, but it’s not going to be stoked from the top, and it’s more escapable.
Not all them, just the thread in the screenshot. With a little apology or something. See what happens.
This is Lemmy, no one wants to ban a good poster.
Just… don’t make an issue of it? Apologize and delete some posts?
TBH lot of the internet has an “over 18” requirement somewhere in the ToS, for good reasons, and… yeah.
Trump/Musk (especially Musk) could totally come out against this if it gains traction.
I guarantee, your family’s tune would change
Heh, that’s a good future.
The one we’re speeding towards is where they all collude, and all the service is shitty and the same (or worse) as its ever been. If its not just monopolized. That’s why Night City is a relatively good place to live in CP2077: There’s still competition.
