Steve from Gamers Nexus was just on Ed Zitron’s podcast talking about Steam stuff. He said in the day they hung out with valve and checked out hardware, they didn’t mention AI once. Isn’t that blissful?

Which is wild in retrospect because holy shit they smell SO strongly.

I mean the AI that grifters currently push. Not the slippery slope definition of “is a lightbulb AI” :D

But like, that’s only further automation, not “AI” and certainly not AI in its current form.

Maybe it’s pedantry but like it’s got nothing to do with machine learning. I want it too, but not with the grifters pushing AI lol

Totally! And I agree with that.

I just don’t subscribe to the grifters pushing AI on us.

I just wanna say that while I agree with the sentiment of the post, AI has nothing to do with this.

We’ve had dishwashers and laundry machines that are super efficient and effective for many years. A lot of those chores are being done for you by automation.

LLMs have much fewer practical applications

Could be in and out of the machine often at a site/plant that requires it outside and doesn’t bother to take it off?

The reality is that it’s probably a photoshoot
