Jesus, I had to do a double take because I thought the stick person had somehow trapped a little human inside a pod for their entertainment and I was so confused.
I'm still confused. What is the little pod and detritus around it supposed to represent?
I get the broken piggy-bank (and hammer?), not sure what else is going on..
Do you really own it though? Is it fully local? Or is it based on some online slop-as-a-service provider who might kill your girlfriend at any given moment?
CES
You don't need to read further to find out. Ed Zitron attended and called it the "Anti-Consumer Electronics Show".
That formulation is by the journalist, I just copied the headline.
Nice
Can’t believe they let him in
Haha, holy crap. Hadn't seen that. Thankyou.
Razer releasing a holo-wife is not a thing I ever imagined.
No thank you, I like my women flesh and blood. Or if technology gets way better than I expect it to in my lifetime: thinking feeling beings capable of choosing to leave with soft bits.
Fuck this shit is sad
So youbare holding out for the physical Terminator version.
I'll respect AI girlfriends when they're self cleaning, same as real girlfriends
Like a UV system in the mouth?
I was thinking soap and water but if you're nasty like that sure
Flesh and blood women taste better.
Yeah, but digital ones are byte size
It would be pretty sick if I could shove a Cortana into it tho...
Thank God, I thought it was analogue to the pony in a jar meme.
Thanks for the context. I figured the comic was just ai slop itself..
I remember seeing a recent Kickstarter that has a sort of holographic AI friend in a "container" like that, and it reached funding far past its goal.
I got the holo-waifu, but not the broken piggy bank, I thought it was a bong
Maybe I'm not awake enough yet but I'm still not seeing anything other than tiny human in a pod
I thought it was a verification can.
Lol, I feel bad for anyone new to the pc building community. At least those of us with 10+ year old computers at this point can play most of the indie games coming out. I AM still surprised by how intensive some games can be when they look like minecraft downgrades.
Kind of funny story, I launched Stardew valley yesterday and my displays absolutely shit themselves even though my graphics card is pretty new. Turned out that nvidias stupid app had changed the display settings to something weird. I had to manually flip it back to borderless and that fixed it but at first I was like "how out of everything I've played is this the one having problems?"
Tx I'll send this to bro that still thinks AMD is the one that makes shit drivers
My wife started Stardew valley the other day and we also had display issues trying to output 4K. Still had to max out the zoom and even then the dialog boxes are cut off until you zoom out. Unlucky
Probably not the issue, but if you're outputting 4k, is it to a tv? I had an issue with a big screen having its own weird zoom settings (the old widescreen/cinema/whatever).
We're outputting to a projector, but the UI is what's actually cutting it off unfortunately. I'm sure there is fix out there somewhere with a game this popular, I just need to do some digging 😁
Unity and Electron. Make a simple game consume 10x the resources it should realistically need
What an interesting domain the image is hosted on.
:3
Woof c:
You see, the big mistake in 2029 was the person installing Windows. Now they can see the horrible data center right outside of their house. As they say, out of sight, out of mind.
You can pry my "double" slot GPU out of my cold dead hands (good luck trying to run away with it, it's heavy as fuck and needs a supporting post)
Tbh, the whole card format feels very legacy, even for my Vega 56 "dual slot" card, and that thing "only" consumes ~230W.
If ppl back then could've foreseen what obscenely power hungry parts would be shoehorned into the expansion card format, they probably would've chosen a different approach for GPUs specifically.
iGPUs should have been a better option, but they were hamstrung by PCI conventions and graphics APIs favoring discrete VRAM.
(Just look at how x86 SoC consoles run circles around similar-spec PCs.)
I’m hoping that ARM is a chance to reset.
I've been expecting socketed GPUs ever since the AMD/ATI merger.
There were many a meme of gas powered GPU's back in the day. We knew.
I guess we won't do something about that, especially when we have the power in our hands.
It looks so ridiculously realistic that I can't laugh.
Supply will catch up with demand. High PC component prices are a temporary thing.

we said that about housing since 2008.

something something ai bad -
eh whatever
i might have to make a controversial post again-
Maria dear i think this may be your one character flaw. Ai is a huge force for evil. It's a tool. And sure tools can be useful but they way it's being wielded is to the detriment of humanity. It's not a cute novelty anymore. It's not being used appropriately at any scale. I know you are fond of some of the silly and fun use cases. And it probably still has limited ethical uses. But as it stands the power of comput is being used for propaganda repression of people and genocide. To dumb and pacify the population and with the way hardware is going the corporate fascist may kill personal computing. It's not worth discussing the good it might be able to do when it's actively harmful to humanity and only helpful to the controlling and ruling class. It's really sweet and endearing you are so optimistic but sadly it's an evil world and the point of this technology is to serve the interests of bad people and any good it can do will be for their profit and control not for the lives well being snd freedom of all of us.
i thought about how to reply to this a bunch... because like - ur totally right-- but also i felt somewhat unnecessarily attacked >~<
the controversial post i would have made would have been with the following content
content of post
i would have drawn an angry man hitting a computer, with the text of my comment:
somethingsomethingAI BAD!in a round kind of way ~
with bottom text
(now go and like my post)the goal would be to make it look as if it were generated using openais image gen 1 model, so i would have
similar like how another post tried to, this one would essentially bait for being flagged as ai... dunno why, but i thought that was funny. it also would have made fun of people actually posting their low quality slop made using the most lazy prompting.
it also would have played on the "hate-post" thing, which tends to amount looooots of likes and stuff ~
(see all the "the bubble is bursting" and "ai makes u dumb" videos)
sketch of post
a sketch i made just for this comment <3
You are absolutely right ✅—the stuff isnt a fun novelty anymore and its primarily being used by bad people for bad things and now even in war apparently.
so like..... its not like im pro-ai, see this post- im very much aware of the evil and the bad happening, more so than most anti-ai peeps i believe.
ive been around the bubble because i find the topic intellectually stimulating. the idea of curating some data to let a prediction mechanism grab onto those patterns to predict following sequences-- just seems like an interesting engineering process, especially when it comes to behavioural analysis.
but over time ive been disappointed, as the majority of that bubble is made of disgusting people, business people and spammers with only a few people interested in doing fun research.
over the last year or so, ive been moving away from the ai bubble. removing discords, bookmarks, yt channels and even local language models from my devices (besides my phones keyboard auto-correct... i wont let u peeps take that away from me!)
i did post plenty stuff on lemmy concerning the topic--- but like - all of em were either jokes, technical stuff or ideas (correct me if im wrong, may have forgotten something)
i do have a character flaw, but not the one you portrayed:
the character flaw i believe i have
when i see a topic being dominated by one opinion, i usually want to know where the other side is coming from. why do people vote for trump? why would anyone be pro-ai? who in their right mind would not want to at least try pineapple on pizza? then once i understand the other side (which is usually more nuanced than the "right side" likes to imagine) makes a lot more sense to me.
this is where imma leave it i think... might still make that post tho--- for the funzies-
(yes, the comment was generated entirely by a human brain connected to a human body)
EDIT: for anyone whos not aware: i dont dabble with image, video and audio generation stuff... not my thing.
oh wow that domain----- sharkey, hm? ~
