You can do this with Jellyfin too, there's lots of guides online on how to set it up. Requires a bit of self-hosting knowledge, but if you're reading this there's a good chance you have that.

I'm in the games industry and I can tell you first-hand nobody is making games targetting future hardware right now.

The pattern used to be to optimise assuming your current average hardware would be minspec by the time your game came out. That's no longer true and everyone knows it.

If you pick up a used 3060, you'll have a solid gaming PC for many years to come.

We just got sick of approving all those annoying prompts! /s

These days they can also chain together tools, keep a working memory etc. Look at Claude Code if you're curious. It's come very far very quickly in the last 12 months.

How can you hear the DJ tunes over the server fans?

You forget we are in an echo chamber here. Most people not only read the AI summaries, they believe them. Just the other day I saw a normie ask ChatGPT to add up some numbers for them, instead of using a calculator. That's how entrenched AI has become in their day-to-day. They don't have to think any more. Thinking is hard. And that's how Google is able to dominate the web. Steal the data and serve it up as slop that's good enough for the everyday Joe.

I watched someone in a YouTube video ask ChatGPT to add up some numbers for them, despite having a calculator on their phone. The sheer laziness at the expense of someone else's energy was impressive. And don't even get me started on the accuracy.

Sounds a lot like IBM.

Thank you! After reading that I'm surprised Microsoft didn't issue a statement to clarify, but I guess of all the rumours to run wild, it was fairly innocuous.

At least we've got AI to help with journalism now. /s

It came from the mouth of a Microsoft executive, and Microsoft followed up with a statement saying they were moving Windows 10 to a service model.

Exactly - comments are what you make of them. In high traffic communities they do indeed degrade into echo chambers as the poster above you suggested, but IMHO that attitude is throwing the baby out with the bath water. I find comments useful to gauge public opinion on current events, or have more nuanced discussion about special interests.

It's more an issue of communities than it is comments.
