New Xbox & AI CEO announced via Twitter ( not calling it x) the new “hybrid” console that will play Xbox and PC games.
In other words you know just a PC. Thus far it seems the system will use the exact same Xbox desktop experience as the “rog ally”.
While we all saw it coming and there isn’t much surprise. This to me says Xbox is dead as a platform.
It’s going to be expensive, it’s going to have Windows. It’s going to have co-pilot it’s going to have the same pop ups.
At least we get an Ally ROG desktop at most a Surface Gaming Desktop. Either honestly is a terrible idea. There will be most affordable options not tied to windows there will be mode powerful options at the same price. Even if you like the idea of going all in PC gaming this won’t be your best option.
If you want to stay a console gamer you’re going to have to switch teams …
RIP Xbox.
Is anything in the tech world interesting or good any more? I remember being excited 20 years ago for new inventions. Now its slop, slop, slop, authoritarian surveillance fascism, slop slop slop
Foss projects and indie games are about the only interesting thing now.
I’ll go back to 2005 soon as someone invents a Foss time machine !
Handheld emulation devices
Yes! Super interesting devices, a friendly community, lots of development and you’ll be playing games made before gaming went full enshitification.
This knowledge does me no good if I can’t go to one of these exoplanets and meet a nice Orion lady.
Steam Machine?
I like to see what’s going on in the handheld emulator world!
Oh true emulation in general is very awesome
AYN Thor is a awesome DS handheld, but they too also warned that their supplier is bumping RAM prices heavily, so they expect the price to go up too
Ironically, there are a couple of things in the tech world right now that I’m extremely interested in. But you would likely downvote me if I mentioned them.
You got downvoted for mentioning you’d get downvoted! OK, I’ll bite. Based on OP’s comments, As long as it isn’t in AI, surveillance or Microslop WIndows, maybe you have found something for us all?
Afraid I can’t help you, then.
It’s really quite ironic, this is the sort of tech that science fiction has been dreaming of for decades. And now it can’t even be mentioned in tech-oriented forums, can’t even be hinted at, without mobs of negative-nellies dumping on it.
Ah well. I continue to have fun with it, downvotes can’t stop that.
No it isn’t. LLM’s are a fucking technological dead end and will never reach AGI’s.
Quit sucking off Sam Altman and go look into actual AI research, douchebag
You just can’t quit bringing up your ai girlfriend, can you ?
So what, who cares about downvotes on Lemmy? Even one more person finding out about some awesome tech is worth it!
Unfortunately they’re just a fucking AI-bro. Not worth your time
When people call any AI user an AI bro, you know the logic has left the room when it comes to AI discussions.
LLMs are a technological dead end and will never be the path towards AGI. The AI bubble is fuelled exclusively by overly wealthy gambling addicts like Sam Altman.
You claim the “AI bro” accusation is the loss of logic. Go look at the fucking market right now, it’s completely irrational. It’s the AI investors that have killed any logic going on.
The AI bros just continually ignore this because they’re idiots. If you’re going to back them up you’re just as much of a dumbfuck as them
Why are you arguing against things I never said? The market condition has no bearing in justifying you categorising anyone using AI as an AI bro. That’s a specific term for people who are pushing the market towards AI without regards for anything, not for anyone that has a use for AI.
The latter types can also be anti-“AI bro”, they’re just not lacking as much logic as you are acting on right now. Have you realised how little logic you’re running on if you’re even calling what I said as defending AI bros? You’ve either cultivated a Pavlovian response whenever you hear the word AI to turn off logic in your brain or you’ve never had good reading comprehension in the first place. I’m not sure which is worse.
Quite true.
Well, I guess the most games-oriented thing is that at the moment I’m generating some cover art for some music I generated earlier to use as part of a tabletop roleplaying campaign I’m in. Custom art, custom music, stuff that a few years ago would have cost me thousands of dollars to commission (and therefore that I would never have dreamed of commissioning - it’s just for me and a couple of friends). That’s pretty awesome, IMO.
