The only pro-AIfags who don't hate openAI are third worlders who can't afford a real computer anyway. OpenAI is obviously causing the ram shortage on purpose to kill their competition and make it unviable to run AI locally.
Once we solve AGI we can ask it for a usecase.

Cyberpunk feels outdated because conglomerates aren't actually very efficient and most companies stay in their own lane
>>107549818>conglomerates are more efficient, that is why chinese car companies are eating the western ones.Conglomerates are more efficient, but you don't actually know anything about Chinese car manufacturers. Very few of them are conglomerates. There are 80 or 90 domestic car manufacturers, because their political system incentivizes every province to have its own local champion for nationally strategic industries. This has pros and cons. They end up competing so hard that it drives extreme efficiency, but the worst ones never fail, because the provincial government will continue to subsidize their best local company in a sector, even if it is losing market share to a company from another province.But to reiterate the point: the efficiencies of Chinese automobile manufacturers is not due to them being conglomerates, because almost none of them are.
>>107549487>conglomerates exist, mostly in the even more dystopian shape of investment funds and the different types thereofThis guy gets it.
>>107544409>conglomerates aren't actually very efficientThey never were in cyberpunk either.>most companies stay in their own laneNo the big ones.
>>107544409Cyberpunk feels outdated because>1) We are living through a period of technological stagnation. The "tech boom", the vast amounts of money printed to play with HTTPS and see what it could do, is concealing the relatively unimpressive progress in other areas. Consumer ICE vehicles are basically the same as 25 years ago, with the only "improvement" of onboard computers being widely despised and fairly retardedThe essayist Freddie Deboer said something that really stuck with me. Someone from 1925 who is transported to 1975 would find the world populated by incredible new machines and social configurations they could scarcely conceive of. Safe commercial air travel; highways and suburbs, mass visual media in the form of film and television. Someone from 1975 transported to 2025 would find the world not drastically changed EXCEPT for HTTPS-based interactions smoothing every interaction they have out, often in ridiculous and marginal ways (lol instacart).>2) The Web was deliberately deconstructed.I can only partially explain this. But there is the pervasive sense that while early social media engines like Facebook and Myspace led to some genuinely interesting social formations that weren't really possible in the previous world of magazines and nailing flyers to posts. Over the last ten years, maybe because of elite panic or whatever, all social media sites have pivoted to becoming television or television-like substance. Every curated algorithmic feed is, in fact, NOT a person using the internet. However outrageous and stupid the content they're being fed is (and most of this "content" is genuinely socially corrosive), users of Tiktok and Reels and even X the everything app are essentially addicted to bad TV. They are the new Maury Povitch viewer.There are still "actual" websites. I would argue this is one of them... maybe Discord is too? Reddit is like 1/10th website and 9/10th television...
>>107552804...and I would even argue the Web is growing. But the Web is tiny compared to the number of people who just transitioned from watching TV to watching algoslop, a crowd that outnumbers us easily 50 to 1 if not 99 to 1, and it's just not very interesting or cyberpunk that most people sit in front of video they can't meaningfully interact with. Look at this essay I've written you. It's a pretty short essay, I banged it out in probably 20 minutes. Writing this essay would come across as DERANGED behavior to the group I'm describing. In so far as they've ever contributed to the project or output of linking computers together, they've submitted their face and voice to Tiktok, in what is basically a globally sourced iteration of American Idol. The love of networking and interaction does not flow through people who are happy in these places. The world depicted in Serial Experiments Lain simply did not transpire, sorry. The internet is for TV and video games and most people are TOTALLY disengaged from it.>3) Culture is broadly stagnantI'm not really super interested in the why of this but it's obvious. Many people have observed that if you transported an ordinary person from 2002 to your bedroom he would find your clothes fairly ordinary. This decade has seen a seemingly random revival in the popularity of Country music, literally pop-country is popular with college kids right now. This is not a culture where explosive technological development is engendering new and alien cultural forms and social organizations. There are lots of other examples. I think Spotify's back catalog pretty reliably outperforms new, popular music. Netflix's back catalog might follow this principle too. And there is, of course, the remake/remaster epidemic that frustrates people so much.

>>107551007like ethnically replacing white workers with H1visa holders, Ai companies realized that the only way to get mass adoption of their shitty product is to make the world shittier for everyone else so their garbage looks good in comparision. Nobody replaced white geniuses in the 90s with jeets because 150 iq chads are obviously > 80 iq jeet subhumans. but after almost 20 years of commoncore, the tech industry in california can only source locally grown 90 iq whites who cant even read at a high school level, so in comparision 80 iq jeets look like a good deal at half the price.

if I make two distinct orders basically at the same time back-to-back, one with multiple items, and the other with a single item, will AE still try to group them together? The single item has a broader delivery timeframe by just a few days, and I wouldn't want it to make the other items arrive late because of it.

i randomly got a kobo libra colour some months ago on a sale surpsrisingly i've actually been usingwill probably not upgrade until it dies
I live in Chicago and got my libra h20 stolen in the train
>>107552302Dimensions wise, Xteink seems nice. I got a m5papers3 dev kit to play around on a whim. It's basically same form factor. It can read txt or epub with apps already made by someone, you move files with sd card. My device has a nice attachment for lanyard and a strong magnet for a fridge or something, but I think it's not powerful enough to comfortably read epubs. It's possible, just not great. Xteink has many physical buttons which I wish I had instead of touchscreen. Use cases I came up with for this format are basically advertised on Xteink website - reading, showing e tickets/ID/QR codes. The only upside of my more open device is that it has more potential as far as i can tell and it's an educational toy for me.
>>107544438dude why did you steal that e-pricetag?

it is widely agreed that windows 11 sucks ass, it's nice to see that people are waking up for once and are either holding off on 10 or switching to linux, consider doing the same, zoomers.or to put it in a language you understand since i too am one of youts windows 11 pmo twin, linux and 10 are healing ppl and you gotta join us hb, six seven

i have a fire tv stick at the moment and it's really sluggish even when just going through menus. is picrel (jewgle tv streamer 4k) any good? can i play media stored on a USB drive from it?
>>107552061Xiaomi or ONN if you live in the US I've heard are good for the price. If you have money to spend I'm pretty sure the nvidia shield is still the best option. Also set up Stremio on it.
>>107552206Raspberry Pi is peak normieTerrible price:performance
bump for answers
>>107552061I got one just because I cannot trust other brands to keep their shit up to date, and apparently ONN (at least when I was looking) didn't have AndroidTV 14.It's decently fast, but not smooth like my ATV4K used to be before liquid arse.The youtube app sometimes gets slow, but nothing crazy.It's good, I use it mostly for YT, Plex and Casting.
>>107552915Also, it has the perk of having an IR blaster on the remote, so you can control TV volume or whatever if not supported thru HDMI, which was my case.
