Yeah, I know. If I remember correctly, the Steam Deck uses a pretty standard RAM type.

But the system is well designed and doesn’t have any real bottlenecks that aren’t game-specific. So the Deck can’t even run anything that would benefit from 32 GB of system RAM.

No, it has 16.

I thought it was so comically stupid back then. But a friend of mine said this was just a bullshit way of hyping up AI.

I don’t need AI to replace my creativity and imagination. This is what someone writes when they only care about the end product, and not about the actual creative process.

This is one page in a series of short comics against AI.

Well, he’s not wrong. XD

There’s a line?

Ooh, the “Smart” era. We still have “Smart” TVs from that era (as in, a device that still uses the “smart” prefix).

But there was a period not too long ago everything was called “smart”, which came down to shoving a SOC into some mundane household item and forcing an Internet requirement.

From that era we had such wonderful inventions as:

• the Smart Water Bottle (required a phone app. It reminded you about being thirsty),
• the Smart Tea Kettle (required an online connection to retrieve the specific boiling time/water temperature for proprietary tea blends),
• the smart juicer (required an Internet connection and an app to pour large, proprietary bags of Capri-Sun into a cup for you),
• the Smart Car (a tiny city car. Yes, that’s all it was; just a car… but smol).

Yeah, I’ve noticed an uptic of AI generated content being posted outside the AI circle jerk subreddits. Places like the AoE4 and Bionicle subreddits have had quite a number of AI posts already.

Theyve become too courageous, with others going out of the way to defend the use of generative AI with weak arguments like “but cars also steal jobs”.

The one subreddit that I’ve seen have a healthy response against AI generated content is the Bionicle subreddit. Doesn’t really surprise me as the Bionicle community is full of creatives.

Wasn’t wake on Bluetooth disabled a few updates back due to certain problems that still need solving?

Someone on the Pluribus subreddit suggested that certain quirks of the collective consciousness comes from how it needs to stay functional despite a vast array of minds that are individually quite different, and how those different personalities and experiences need to be merged together somehow.

There are empathetic people and completely obtuse people inside the the consciousness, highly intelligent people and those with regressive mental disorders, or more importantly; abusers and abuse victims.

In order to keep cohesion, they literally cannot deal with negative emotions. Imagine an abuser and their abuse victim merging into a single consciousness. How would they even function?

They wouldn’t.

So whenever the collective consciousness is forced to deal with negative emotions, it goes into a seizure.

The absolute irony. Yeah, this advert is trying to be a reference to what’s happening in the series, as this is exactly what the main character is experiencing.

But it creeped out and distressed the character into a mental breakdown. Yes, let’s emulate that as a tongue-in-cheek fridge advertisement.

And haven’t even achieved AI yet. What we call “AI” is still nothing more than an upjumped calculator.

Huh… That’s not a bad idea, actually.

Yes, but they still have problems. But I’m noticing a trend in foldable phone designs, and I’m worried that by the time foldable phones get really good, the ones that fold smaller aren’t around anymore.

I’m not sure what features you feel are lacking. And I haven’t used Plex at all.

For me, all I want is being able to connect to it from any device, and sync play.

Oh yeah. My friend group starts having issues with more than 8 people watching. ^^;

Unfortunately the plugin seems to be abandoned.

I don’t want large phones that get even larger. I want a large phones that becomes smaller for my pocket.

Sounds about right.

Use Jellyfin. Fill your server with treasures procured from the high seas. Watch on any device. Sync play with far away friends or family.
