What you’re describing is exactly what I’m wondering. Maybe I’m just not too deep into the topic, but it seems so arbitrary to me that they went with the whole isolation thing in the first place for no reason that I can see, other than the “oh no, it’s hacking stuff!” narrative being pre-planned and orchestrated for.

In other words, I am siding with the accusations of this whole wave of “AI” suddenly hacking into stuff, with different models from different companies wondrously doing the same thing one after another, being a publicity stunt that one company started and others, as they do, copying just to stay relevant.

Although I feel like maybe I’m going Chuck McGill here because I am very biased.

Am I just stupid for not believing that any of the models actually did any of that on their own? I feel like the companies behind them start claiming crazy shit like this every time people start questioning “AI” more and/or losing interest. Isn’t that how OpenAI dropped Sora amidst the dwindling hype to keep the investors hooked? Now it’s back to scary stories about “AI” being so good and advanced that it’s about to hack everything and what, actually think for itself?

There is no X big enough for me to press to doubt this enough.

I used to run GOG Galaxy through Lutris to play Cyberpunk 2077 to use cloud saves.

Other than that, yeah, Lutris and Heroic are probably a better experience if you just need an installer and you don’t want to download dozens of packages through their website.

I think you’re posting from pre-RAM shortage times. We might be looking at buying 900 USD phones and keeping them for more than 3 years in the very near future anyway.

Maybe we’ll get less e-waste out of EU-mandated right-to-repair parts manufacturing and “influx”… hopedully not more.

I really like the last sentence. The implication that he’s not firing everyone regardless is hilarious!
