I think people will still “contribute” because they also don’t care that their use of certain platforms leaks data used to target ads at them.

In the same vein though, once AI essentially destroys a site like Stack Overflow, where will AI companies source new training data with updated information? Also, we are likely to see something like 50% of content being AI generated. Are AI models then going to train on the content they themselves created? What is the impact of that? What is the use?

Well, I use Steam a ton and have a Steam Deck. But, Steam dev effort to income ratio is probably ridiculously skewed. The company pretty much prints money. In that way, Steam is a cash grab.

I do question if Steam hadn’t been such a success if Valve might have released HL3 by now.

It has Google vibes to it. Google makes so much money in ad revenue that a lot of their other products just get cancelled.

I do like Valve overall though and am a fan. I’m a fan that wants to know the ending of HL3.

I’m not complaining, just noting that it was very lucrative. Folks are really overreacting with the downvotes. Chill people.

Is assassin’s creed any good? Once a game becomes a franchise with a bajillion releases I just tune it out. Feel the same way about marvel movies. Maybe they’re good, maybe they’re bad, but I’m more annoyed that they’re trying to shove it down my throat, so I tune out.

Temu is like NAFTA for American “business” people.

You cut out the factory worker first, then cut out the American importer.

Didn’t really try. Couldn’t get SteamVR working without lots of hacking. I ended up buying a smaller second hard drive and installing windows just for that use. Once I was done with that game, I haven’t booted into Windows since, as there is no reason to.

I built one — took about 4 hours once all the parts arrived. My first build. Installed Linux Mint from a flash drive and it worked perfectly. Ended up switching to Zorin OS later — also works fine.

I have been able to play every game I wanted, except one requiring a VR headset.

ChatGPT is lying too, and is also really confident about it.
