[Discussion] Do you still use your Steam Deck much?
  • It's server-based so you need to be online to play. However you can pretty much play it solo without interacting with other players (which is how I generally play it, save the occasional events and challenges).

    They've added significant amount of content post-launch which includes new locations, NPCs, missions etc so it's not too bad, although I would say NPCs aren't as well put together as other Fallout games.

  • The Asus ROG Ally X is official — and I took a peek inside
  • ASUS is terrible not because they make bad products (in fact many of them are good), they are terrible because of their horrendous support.

    There is no shortage of customer service horror stories because of this company. I would not give them money.

  • ASUS reveal the ROG Ally X with more RAM, more storage, larger battery
  • Great that ASUS is helping handheld PC gaming advance but from a consumer perspective, I cannot in good conscience recommend anyone buying ASUS products.

    Their customer service is legendary for being abysmal and for something like the Ally you need good support.

  • I'm in the same boat but having a blast with FO76. I'm glad I waited since the rocky launch back in 2018 - while the game is still far from perfect, it's a lot of fun to play and Bethesda did a good job fixing up the game.

  • Google Search Is Now a Giant Hallucination
  • I get your point but from a business perspective Google is doing pretty well (see last quarterly earning and they announced dividends for the first time). It's good to be a shareholder and from that perspective the CEO is doing a good job.

    Time and time again markets have shown, within reason, poor user experience and anti-consumer policies do not negatively impact stock price.

  • Nothing Phone 2a Debut in the Below-$500 Smartphone Market, Featuring Limited-Time AI Offer
  • It's probably the best and fastest "AI-powered search" I've tried so far. Think of it as a search engine on steroids, which can handle complex questions and give you tailored responses. It's also one of the few that really jumped out of the "text-based" chat format and really embraced more modern multimedia interface.

  • Expertise
  • Simple solution, spend 1 second and decide to consciously ignore guy on internet for the rest of your life.

    Works wonders for mental and physical health, zero downsides!

  • OpenAI has developed a new text-to-video model called "Sora". Soon anyone will be able to script, direct, and create their own films, their own cinematographic works.
  • 100%. The truth is hard to swallow but I've already seen people displaced by AI tech in other professions. It's no leap at all to think this could happen in the arts and film industry soon.

    Also I don't understand the notion of "humans can do x so AI can't replace us". Fact is AI only needs to do 20-30% of what humans can do to put a ton of us out of a job. And it's a bit delusional to think one is immune just because they studied "cinematography".

  • Hey, you do you, but a great example of being in denial and exactly what people should not be doing. Everyone should be thinking about how to reposition themselves to ride this technological wave to success, and not turn a blind eye and be washed away like the parent poster above.

    "Near future" and "foreseeable future" is constrained only by imagination and can happen sooner than you think.

  • A false sense of security is worse than no security at all.

    When the AI workforce breaks through the arts and film industry, what makes you think you're the one holding the keys and calling the shots on AI? Simply because you studied cinematography?

    The point is the scale of the impact will likely be substantial and many potentially will be displaced. I would argue you should be studying this shift rigorously instead of being dismissive to give yourself the advantage.
