If you liked how Facebook turned out, keep giving OpenAI your time, attention, and data.

Crazy idea: Power Plants could still do the right thing.

We're at the tail end of that with Meta, which is "Just hang on and get your bag!"

This is a good case for making some laws which ensure entities responsible cannot hide from the public by white labeling, changing names, etc. In other words, since surveillance of the public by definition involves the public, the public sh

This is a great basis for a dividend from AI revenue to be paid back to society in a more inclusive form than stock. As more money flows into AI companies, data centers, and other related infrastructure, an amount should be extracted and re

Steam Machine and Steam Deck are open so I cannot see why this wouldn’t be.

Hacker News should be all over this device. They won't lock it down like the Meta stuff. Go ahead and install BeOS on it.

It's actually kind of nostalgic to see off the shelf computers have such a sky high price again. Back in the Silicon Graphics days the prices were aspirational! Give me something to lust over again... makes me feel young.

AMD and Intel would be HAPPY to replace them, and plenty capable. Game consoles like PS5 have been AMD for a few generations. Steamdeck/Steam Machine are AMD. But really, Nvidia has no reason to leave gaming behind. They can just star

very cool! Can we get a link to a not terrible website with real information?

I like this angle. You also need enough technical ability to know what is now possible. People are very used to being limited by technology and by the limited resources of human implementation. Getting un-used to that is a new form of creat

In creative fields, unions can produce great things but only when the people move freely and independently (see SAG, SWG) of the companies. It becomes more project based. I’d prefer to see a “Video Game Artists Guild” than a Blizzard wide u

I like the idea, but I really want iPhone Nano.

This is probably the beginning of the end for Blizzard as an identifiable company. MSFT will just absorb WoW, Overwatch, and Diablo and spin up new internal studios to support them rather than have their feet held to the fire by a union. Th

Meta’s strategy is to know you better than you know yourself. Then they will make you forget yourself. Then they will make you pay.

I'd rather throw my computer in the dumpster than let Meta install something like this on it.

I am deeply curious if there are people that would not benefit from this.

Is this what all those Flock cameras are for?

> before AI agents existed, projects with this level of data and depth might've needed to be monetized in order to justify the resources to bring it to life. Yes, this was exactly what I meant in OP.

It’s true. It feels like that age may be revisiting us. Makes me happy to see stuff like this which isn’t upselling something.

We might recognize that the economics of making such a fascinating and artful experiment like this have completely changed. No ads. Not asking for anything except your attention, and then delivering an outcome that is fascinating and honest

There is a lot of gray area between vibe coding and zero AI. Get over that too. End of the day this person is solving a good problem and sharing the work. This is what we want.

Can’t think of a better outcome than Meta guaranteeing all parents that Linux is the safest OS for their kids. Steam Machines under every Christmas tree.

Sure, that's a thing. But it's much different than building a multiyear strategy to use that data as the financial basis of one's entire operation.

Honestly, I've been a Cursor subscriber for a while and it was just momentum. Still, I rank OpenAI as the worst actor among the big AI companies. I think OpenAI's playbook will be a repeat of Facebook. Users are the product x 1000

I'd need to have a problem I couldn't solve with current models for my eyes to wander.

While this isn't great for users it seems like a pretty standard circling of the wagons in preparation for the next phase in the battle for frontier AI dominance. Ironically, as a Cursor and Claude subscriber, but not an OpenAI subscri
