They didn’t; GameTheory on YouTube actually went through the numbers pretty recently, and of all the games available physically - I believe sales were ~50:50, or slightly trended towards physical.

Given we have court stenographers who need to use a very specific keyboard, months of training and can STILL be overwhelmed by too rapid of a speech pattern - our world?

The issue is, manufacturers are only going to get more and more insidious with this until they either have full unfettered control over what you are allowed to view on your own screen, or are stopped in a meaningful way by strong regulations.

HDMI and USB-C inputs can both potentially carry an Ethernet signal, bypassing a need for WiFi permissions.

Devices could look for and join hidden/ghost mesh networks from other complicit manufacturers devices without permission.

Device drivers could be bundled with software which will enable tracking through the connected machine.

Hell, we’re fast approaching the point that every TV could be equipped with a basic data SIM designed to directly phone home and act as a kill-switch once a device has been deemed EOL after its warranty expires.

I’m not saying that these are already in place just yet, but that we are well and truly oblivious, slowly simmering frogs.

Came to say the exact same thing; to top it all off - as a (currently) private company - Anthropic doesn’t need to publish gross/net operating profits. However, they did for the most recent quarter - highlighting their first ever quarterly profit - so up until now, they’ve been burning investors’ money hand-over-fist.

If this is the same issue as what Elijah experienced on LTT’s most recent Linux Challenge video - the. I believe the KDE developers are (finally?) acting to fix this functionality.

I have never, ever refrigerated peanut butter (the 99%+ peanuts kind).

The label on our jars just say to store in a cool, dry place - ie. in the pantry.

Watch that 8 hour workday quickly get moved first to 10 hours (capitalist argument being that it’s the new 1/3rd of the “day”), before ultimately consuming all additional 6 hours and having you work 14 hours straight like some feudal peasant serf.

The world is not America, there is no chance this would ever possibly happen.

I don’t think the personal market will completely die out, but it will definitely shrink by a significant percentage over the next ten years or so.

We’ll see a considerable volume of gamers move to thin clients, ditto for businesses, casual use (email, browsing, consuming media etc.) will continue to switch to mobile devices.

PCs will still exist as a hobby for enthusiasts, but we’ve definitely seen peak-component sales.

If you think that’s bad, wait until they try to fit 17!

I recognise Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo… …but what’s that last one?

Not crazy talk, Australia currently leads with the highest per-capita uptake of solar panels and it’s having a noticeable impact on our overall energy costs:

We actually produce so much excess solar during peak times that households without panels can opt for electricity plans which offer free electricity between midday and 3pm every day (inc. weekends).

We’re also rolling out a heap of household batteries to better help take advantage of this surplus production and offset peak demand times too.

The world is rapidly approaching a post-fossil fuel world; the transition will be slow at first, and then drastic all of a sudden.

Yup, was scary finding myself agreeing with her for a while there…

The world needs a hell of a lot more love, honestly.

I have a JP launch edition PSP as my prized possession - but always wanted a PSP Go.

How were the ergonomics?

A lot of these LLMs heap praise on the user - some more blatantly than others - whether it’s warranted or not.

Those most susceptible tend to be the ones who don’t regularly receive that recognition in their day-to-day lives, so they become infatuated with this “AI” that treats them nicer than they’re accustomed to.

Given that the rest of our annual training refreshers are 15 - 30 minutes, and that I can boil down the training to 2-3 bullet points here - yes, 2+ hours is (relatively) extensive.

Pretty unsurprised, I imagine - our training pretty much instructs us to not take anything it produces as gospel already.

Though given how much the company is getting charged for it, I think there may be some reconsideration in the budget for next financial year - given Microsoft have all but confirmed that it’s not much more than an overly verbose Magic 8 Ball

The company I work for (publicly listed) has granted company-wide access to Copilot, but requires users to complete a pretty extensive (2+ hour) training module before you’re able to use it.

Pretty obvious stuff like, don’t upload sensitive data, validate output etc. I just use it as a glorified search engine usually - validating function syntaxes etc., and also cot rewriting email to be less blunt.

Really comes down to whether companies have; no tech departments to stop employees from using AI, small departments that don’t want to deal with the headache, large departments capable of managing the rollout.
