I know they don’t have the same supply chain at all but Apple sells an entry Mac Mini for $600. That makes me feel like a similarly priced Steam Machine is possible.

Only personal experience but I have friends newly excited about VR woth this announcement

When Facebook was just starting to be popular I was telling my uncle how people will get exposure to more of the world and be more open to it. He told me he was afraid the wrong people would find each other too. Fast forward 15 years he gets red pilled and dies of Covid.

I was willing to take it with a grain of salt but that paints a pretty bleak picture

It just pisses me off that they have all the money in the world for their datacenters but not for the systems that power it

If anyone has an extra $5k lying around I promise I would make great use of this thing

I am having trouble seeing how OpenAI survives without investment cash. What exactly is their moat? I know they are hoping to power the AI behind everyone else’s tech but that is more and more untenable as the others develop AI models of their own.

That and the risktaking bit give the headline two rofl’s

It used to be the same but them W. Bush extended summer time on both ends to really make things confusing

I was wondering when we’d get to the snake oil portion of the video hobby that audiophiles have been suffering. 8k vs. 4k is the new lossy vs. lossless argument.

I mean I pay it and the free games are all that keep me from hating it

I hope it inspires Sony to follow suit. In the 2020s paying for multiplayer access is absurd.

I think the idea is to get a break from the digital life, not abandon it completely

I am really praying for the day corporate drops this foolish nonsense of foisting it on their company and employees - maybe even gasp enabling their teams to access and use the tools that help them do better and more creative jobs.

Because AI can fit into a lot of people’s toolsets really nicely, especially in creative fields like game design. Just need to drop the idea that AI is an authoritative final answer to our design problems and instead realize that it’s just another tool to help us get to those solutions.

Won’t she be shocked when the AI board replaces her with an AI too

My to-do list has become a place where my tasks go to die. I think it is because in my mind if it’s there I won’t forget to do it now so it’s no longer urgent and I don’t do it. It’s growing longer and longer now.

Revolution is extremely painful and I’m not sure anyone is up for that regardless of how much it is needed.

We should focus our efforts on getting inside the Dem party and taking over from within. Which takes time and effort. The capitalists did it to the GOP through MAGA finally after decades of effort. Unfortunately a lot of people think their only civic duty is to vote once every four years.

He was so good. I had the SW trilogy posters he did on my wall as a kid and it surely played a role in my artistic aspirations

This would be a dream if they can produce this with renewable energy and sequester a bunch of the carbon we’ve emitted. 90% smaller carbon footprint is already really great news

But why? They are barely supporting the current hardware.
