>>736084414Google has a new AI model that doesn't depend on the transformer foundation that modern day AI models do. I still think it the Solid State Model, but it could also be a hybrid model that uses the transformer foundation for specific tasks and something else for the rest. Either way, just as anyone who follows AI development knew for a while (i.e not the people who hang out here or on social media falling for bait headlines), the transformer + attention only model is on its way to being phased out for something more efficient, cost effective and as powerful (or more so) than transformers in capabilities.

>>736084414>*popping sounds*
Ram prices aren't collapsing they're just expected to cool
>>736084414turns out you can just download it
I will never understand valve worship
>>736083793Cool, what's the price?
>>736084985$700 (controller not included)
>>736084912>I will never understand why people like a company that doesnt actively try to fuck them in the ass at every possible turnYeah we know you zoom zooms are used to being taken advantage of but there was a time when video game companies in general genuinely did make good stuff that wasn't all about maximising profits
>>736083793He can afford the loss as hardware alone isn't where the money is
>>736083793i mean thats cool and all but unless the thing costs 600 bucks im not buying it, i'll keep an eye out for the controller though
>>736085528Exactly, bringing in more people into the PC gaming "ecosystem" is obviously going to be heavily profitable for Gabe.It's the same same reason why console wars existed and why consoles were sold at a loss, each console sold is one more (potential) long term customer.
>>736083793>>Valve>>How the FUCK does he keep getting away with it?>be the only *HALF*-decent vidya company/dev team left>everyone else is evilthe morals shifted, good is gone. now neutral (the new greatest good on the scale) to evil is all that's left. Valve is neutral with pieces of good sprinkled in. Everyone else is ass compared to that. Ergo, Valve is the best, the other old good guys are all gone, or went over to, or is corpse puppeted [the dev studio] by the dark side.Valve doing nothing is less evil than the rest actively going out of their way to do it.

>>736083793I'm imagining having a Steam Machine to try and coerce my friends to play local multiplayer
>>736088860I'm buying it for my parents' house, so that we can pirate and watch movies together when I come over. Fuck SHITflix and their shitty catalog:>no Kurosawa>no Tarkovsky>no Tarr (Turin Horse is my mum's favourite movie of all time)
>>736085461Ive started to realise that zoomers quite frequently people dont fucking learn anything- they see a commonly held idea and then just chimp out regardless of the specific comtext.Wasnt there some thing about how they stopped teaching kids what words mean and just advised them to guess while reading based on [intuition].Anyway the fucking point is, yeah, of all fucking houses why do any of them try to decry fucking Valve uness they have no concept of TrustWorthy Old White Man™
>>736089058>Turin Horse is my mum's favourite movie of all timeYour mom sounds pretty based
>>73608498599.99.99!
>>736083793lads i don't care about the steam machine, but i want the controller.now i've got an idea, gabe loves his yachts, he loves his deepsea research, and his submersibles.what if we email him and ask him if the steam controller 2 is compatible with submersibles? that we want a controller for a submersible, and we do not want to go logitech.would it work?
>>736090118Zoomers are purely a slave race, they need a master to tell them what to think, sadly their masters most of the time are the rothschilds.They are the first generation of people who cannot be independent.

>>736091180She's a fervent reader of historical novels and historical non-fiction, her favourite book of all time is Anna Karenina due to how well it depicts the life at the time. Turin Horse really resonated with her as she loves reading about peasant life during famine and shit.
>>736084801This. The Steam Machine will cost more than it would have if Valve had sourced parts in 2025.
>>736091540Large chunks of /v/s established lore for the outside world is built on far less
So what's the price then
>>736091631RAM will never be as cheap as it was in 2025. Gas will never be as cheap as it was in 2019. The quality of the human population is collapsing, civilization will rely on a smaller and smaller number of intelligent, wealthy people to prop it up, until whole sections just implode into permanent “poverty,” which will just be the new normal.
>>736091829>prop it up = increasing prices to the exclusive profit of themselves, profit which is mostly the result of oursourced and underpaid labor.
>>736091635>Anna KareninaThat one's such a fuckin drag desu, Kreutzer Sonata does it better in under 100 pages
>>736085461They do actively fuck their customers at every turn though. You just turn a blind eye because you have a bad case of FOMO
>>736083793>Ram prices will collapse.That's what they said about GPU's. Still waiting.Once they get people having to pay triple they will never want to go back.
RAM prices are collapsing?
>>736092008I didn't like it either, really dull writing style, but I respect her point of view.
>>736083793by having dumbfuck steamdrones like you
>>736083793steam machines give valve almost no revenue and not increasing the price will even make them more desirable, thus, not doing anything is the correct move
>>736090118>Wasnt there some thing about how they stopped teaching kids what words mean and just advised them to guess while reading based on [intuition].Are YOU a fucking zoomer? Cause thats called context you dumb nigger.Fucking everyone is taught that. Do you think in the 90s they bust out a dictionary and taught you every word? No you can discern a words meaning from context surrounding the sentence if its an unfamiliar one.God damn you zoomers are retarded.
>>736084414>>736092173openai's basically going "whoops we can't actually pay for all that ram lol"which comes to no surprise to anyone paying attention, but unfortunately venture capital people are just really really gullible
>>736091829Things cannot go up forever, we have civilization collapses to fix that.
>>736084912Because you're a console toddler who doesn't know what the situation of PC gaming looked like back in the 2000's and that Gaben got to have his "monopoly" by actually taking PC gaming seriously and wanting it to be successful, while the competition either wanted consoles to kill off PC gaming or actively made things worse for PC users with their retarded attempts at "fighting piracy".

>>736092404We are declining in a way that cannot be repaired without dedicated eugenics.
>>736083793They wouldn't just lower prices right
>>736092404Prices can, just look at Zimbabwe i.e.
>>736084912Valve are not perfect.>Tuesdays used to fucking suck>Greenlight was dogshit>Paid mods were dogshit>Trading cards were dogshit>Overmoderation of game reviews is dogshit>Removing the old scoring system for upboats and downboats was dogshit>Killing TF2 was shit>Caving to MasterJew and Jewsa was shitBut you know, my account is 19 years old. In that time I have:>Been able to play all the games on my account>Never had an issue with refunds>Never had shit removed from my library>Have acquired a large library through sales>Have had stellar support from third parties in acquiring more games, like Humble Bundle>Linux support has improved massively>Steam Deck gave what a lot of people wanted>Family/game-share has been a great feature>Never been banned, but even people who are banned keep their gamesAnd in the future:>The controller looks good>Linux support getting good enough to ditch copilot bloat and candycrush ads WindowsIt's not that they're perfect, it's that every other company has been dogshit by comparison. Say a naughty word on Minecraft? Lose your Xbox account. Fuck you. Oh that game from PS+? Nah we removed that from the library with our reorganisation. Backwards compatibility? How about go fuck yourself. Want to buy more than one game at a time? No can do, Jim!Nope, Valve are good because the others are shit. Valve and GoG are better than the others, just by being less awful.
>>736092318So what's Micron gonna do? Say "Sorry about that, we're back on the consumer market now"?
>>736084414Gemini (Google's AI) unlocked a ram's true power, basically like the Ultra Instinct version of RAMs, now we don't need more RAM, we can just optimize the ones we have with the power of AI.
>>736094045>>Trading cards were dogshitWhy? It's literally free money for (you), funded by retards.
>do nothing>winWHY DOES THIS KEEP WORKING
>Still not out yet>Still not a peep on the price>WE DID IT WE WON
>>736094232>Why? It's literally free money for (you), funded by retards.It's the 'take one cent off of every transaction' approach. It feels like a superfluous grifting add-on to a service that didn't really need it. You might even be able to ignore it if it were, you know, honest, one way or the other, but it's not. It's about nickel and dimeing people while pretending to give them a feature.Let's say it was about the gameplay/profile side of it - you would get enough cards to complete sets by playing. But that's not the case.Let's say it was about the money - then they would have some sort of actual value. Do you people really take the time to sell cards for 3 cents each? Because that's what most of them are worth. They aren't locked behind any sort of challenge to add value to them. They all drop within a couple of hours of playing, and are all worthless. Their value is in the cumulative micropayments Valve take.
Valve won. This is fact.
>>736094108More likely just quietly, or at least try to, go back to business like it never happened, but not lower prices. Maybe if someone gets wise they'll put out a token corpspeak apology and then just keep walking because they expect the average consumer to be dementia-riddled retards. Never let them forget.
>>736094108>>736094461You will NEVER see Crucial memory again. If they come back, they will go through some subsidiary partner company, and you won't know it's Micron until someone does some heavy digging. They know they've burned their bridges.
>>736091982No, more like extreme taxes which do not benefit the taxpayers. Looks like you’re one of the moochers.
>>736092318This. Anyone that has been paying attention knew OpenAI was a bubble about to burst. Gemini is so much better now its not even funny, and Google doesn't need to buy more ram, they already got the infraestructure.Now is the time when Google overtakes GPT and sends OpenAI back to India. AI belongs to Americans now.

>>736084912Valve are generally much more consumer friendly than other storefronts/companies. They aren’t perfect but by comparison, they’re pretty good.
What happen with RAM made by uncle Xi instruction?Will they flood the market with cheap RAM or they are too shitty to compete with big RAM producer
>>736083793He is a Daoist
>>736095007here's an idea, get rid of the mooching roaches and actually tax the people that have more money than god instead of taxing the people in the middle half of what they fucking make

>>736083793Literally by not being a line go up nigger
>>736094939nigger you have the highest electricity rates in the world. what fuel do you think is used to power your countries? Rising gas prices also translates to more expensive everything, especially food grown with chemical fertilizer. The US is completely self-sufficient in fossil fuels. Europe is in deep shit if this Iran war drags on
>>736095075What will most likely happen is that the traditional players will try to maintain the prices as high as possibly while ChiRAM will only be double* (250%) the cost of RAM from a year ago and be hailed as saviors.
>>736095223Why are people so retarded? You'll only see the prices drop once they sell out all the current RAM in the market you retard. its a shipment thing

They're fucking defending their yard, its the oppressors marching on his territory that decide how long the siege will last.

>>736095296Quite the opposite. You don't understand how China works, which is quite sad because they haven't changed at all for like 20 years.Americans develop a humanoid robot, price it for 420,000 USD.China develops a humanoid robot, price it at 18,000 USD.Nobody buys american, everyone buys chinese. China has a low profit margin but they make up for it by completely destabilizing the market as a whole. China is going to win, just like they did with Xiaomi phones.
>>736094717>>736092318OpenAI was also fucked because Elon sued them and the case is coming up at the end of April.tl;dr: Elon privately funded them for years under the condition that they remained open-source(hence the name, OpenAI) but they went public anywayThey conspired behind the scenes to trick him into giving them money and then turned around and went public and told him to fuck off. He sued saying he should get a piece of the pie or a payout because he privately funded them for years.This will be an easy win for Elon because during discovery they found out the CEO of OpenAI E-mailed himself frequently and used it as a personal diary(lol). In it, the CEO actually incriminated himself by saying something like this: "I need to find a way to shut Elon out so we can take this public on our own because we will be filthy rich".
>>736095528Lies. A lot of your (yurop as a whole) electricity production still relies on fossil fuels.
>>736095528Germany destroyed their last nuclear power station and resorted to burning more coal for power lmao, meanwhile America is exporting energy to Europe now and making fat loads of money
>>736096115>>736096075France will sustain us.
>>736096014>the antagonist reveals his master plan in a private monologueI thought this only happened in fiction.
>>736095528Germany is currently ripping up it's countryside to dig up lignite
>>736096014Holy shit, OpenAI is FUCKED.
>>736096014Glad I cancelled my subscription this month. I'm paying for Claude now.
>>736083793He's been manipulating everything behind the scenes from the start.
>>736083793lol ill buy one in two seconds if its like 750 anything higher for the base model valve wont make as much money imo
>>736096014I put this in Grok and it clarified some inaccuracies:1. The diary/journal in question belongs to Greg Brockman (co-founder/president), not CEO Sam Altman.2. As for the quote, the actual quotes were >"This is the only chance we have to get out from Elon">"Financially what will take me to $1B?"
>>736084912Redditor manchild behaviour, obviously.Although they are about the only good thing left working in favor of gamers and consumers, worshipping Valve is infantile and retarded in any case.
>>736095120This retarded idea that there's a leprechaun pot of infinite gold that the government just refuses to take has got to go.How delusional are you stupid niggers? Do you realize if you taxed 100% of the wealth of every billionaire in the us RIGHT NOW, like literally liquidated ALL of their fucking holdings damn the economy, you couldn't even fund the US govt for a year? Not even 1 year. Nah bro lets kick in for communism it'll work this time for sure
>>736096014I hope they get actually fucked if anything for killing that whistleblower.
>>736096908Being satisfied with Valve's service and dunking on clueless "arguments" made by console toddlers pretending to know anything about the history of PC gaming is not "worship".
>>736084912Most steamies are console refugees, they used to cheer on Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo until the early 2010s where they joined PC and made Valve their new corporate leader
>>736096882So its over for OpenAI
>>736097168Im not satisfied with not owning games anymore, to be satisfied with that is mindless worship
Steam lets you own games
>>736096882>"Financially what will take me to $1B?"Sorry for being a thirdie with a huge family (dunno if that's what makes the biggest impact, i can't think of anything else) but i couldn't fathom this kind of behaviour and mentality in a thousand years.Like, this guy's life goal is to have 1b networth, that's it, just money, specifically more money than he or anyone would ever need, and to flay people alive if that's what it takes.
>>736097417you couldn't understand, it's why you lived in mud huts until we came and uplifted you. a mistake that i wish i could go back and undo
>>736084912Probably because you're a consoletard stuck with shit, dogshit, or terrible dogshit
>>736084912It's a wonder what running a company that doesn't chase quarterly profits will accomplish. Since Valve doesn't have to betray their own customers every 3 months and fuck them in the ass just to make a spreadsheet look good for investors, they are able to acquire loyalty through their consistency and superior service to other products.That's something other companies can't do. They can only imitate.If other companies get a loyal fanbase they can only retain them for a year or two before the cracks begin to show. Valve has been consistent for most of our adult lives so it's expected that plenty of people would defend them for absolutely nothing in return.
that means RAM prices will go down but that also means A.I will be much easier to use in general.
>I will buy 40% of the planet's ram, i swear!>can you put it on paper?>yeah sure>delivers a "trust me bro, i will buy them" non-binding piece of paper>doesnt buy shithonestly is kinda funny seeing the "everyday a sucker is born" getting applied on the elites for a change.
>>736097716The truth is they're just as retarded as we are in most cases.
>>736097698>A.I will be even easier to use and people will pay even less for the privilege.
>>736097417He's an American Jew.
>>736097698so win-win?I'm literally making porn of my ex girlfriend with myself all thanks to AI.
>>736095968This is like saying OpenAI is winning because they're blowing the most cash.China is never going to win, because they cannot win by reacting only and they cannot do anything on their own
>>736097794yep. I can already hear dev companies salivating over the fact.here where I work I have been basically just vibecoding for the last 4 months to the point I don't even care about actually coding for real anymore.They kind of expect you to deliver huge project features every week because of that.>>736097886in a way, yeah. depending on how you look at it I guess.
>>736097417This is why capitalism was always meant to be paired with christian moral ethics being enforced which makes up for the downsides of capitalism(people being scumbags). Unchecked greed like this would have him strung up in a courtyard and lashed in public or something if we had justice in this world.
>>736097763They're even more retarded because they're insulated from learning from their mistakes.A wagie that acts up can get the shit kicked out of them or fired and starve.>>736097617This. It's not like Valve is doing anything particularly special they're just not actively hostile and their shit just fucking works.I have no reason to distrust valve.
>>736096014>This will be an easy win for Elon because during discovery they found out the CEO of OpenAI E-mailed himself frequently and used it as a personal diary(lol). In it, the CEO actually incriminated himself by saying something like this: "I need to find a way to shut Elon out so we can take this public on our own because we will be filthy rich".fucking lmao I hope this is real.
>>736098015>was always meantChristianity just replaced certain abrahamic bankers with tithes for the church anon.The advantage of capitalism is that it's more agile than a planned structure, but all systems are better with strong guidelines. It's why the strongest economic times were heavy social spending and taxation paired with free industry
>>736097916they don't need toall they have to do is distill the latest frontier models and poop out their improvements for me to use as open weight models so I can use it for cheap uncensored ERPing and some actual work sometimes
>consoleKEKs keep losing
>>736097321So you're one of these huh.Valve's competition didn't want you to really own your games. They actively toyed with online licences and limited installs. Meanwhile you pay for a steam game once and can freely install and play it for years. Steam DRM is also notoriously weak and forgiving. Now, the copy protection of old and crap like Gays for Winblows Live on the other hand...
>>736094580>and you won't know it's Micron until someone does some heavy diggingId bet my house that, if a new RAM manufacturer appears out of nowhere, there will be hundred of autists diggin it to see who they really are (You only have to check if they are on the stock market and it will instantly show where that company comes from).Anyway, the same shit was said by Njudea, but im pretty sure that was in order to swindle investors.
>>736097916>China is never going to win,China already won in robotics bro...This is why China is going to continue to win, the west is so fucking deluded on their views to China that it makes them complacent, and THAT'S what allows China to win.
>>736095346Lol no, you are the retarded here.Do you think that they rised the prices because the shortage in that moment? No, they did it in prevision of said shortage. The same way is bough/sold oil.
valve seething used to be fun, but after Timmy hired pajeets for his Unreal "store," it's just pathetic at this point
>>736098246nobody bought oil before you were told to buy ityou're a sheep
>>736084414That shit only skyrocketed due to speculated demand for the next few years. Turns out they don't need as much as they thought. Oopy all those who bought RAM in the past year. Turns out you were fucked for no reason.
>>736098204China dick-riders are so weird. Is it just europeans upset how reliant they are on america? China will never win for the same reason Japan in the 80s didn't win either. I
>>736095346why are you retarded? Nothing EVER gets cheaper, it only gets more expensive and your money only gets weaker so things that are supposedly "cheaper" don't matter because you are still paying more in general due to your dollar being weaker
>>736098134Distillation attacks will be harder as the government slowly wakes up to AI being an actual national security issue. The whole kerfuffle with Claude being a national security threat was theater to soothe Hegseth's ego, but the problem is real and Anthropic has said for years they are not capable of defending against an actual nation-state tier cyberthreat.
>>736096959The pot of gold exists, but the trick isn't taxingThe only way you could get at it would be to sieze the assets of those oligarchs and take them publicThen a whole new problem of government corruption takes centre stage, really there's no winning
>>736098467Japan already won you retard, everyone loves Hyundai and Toyota.
>>736098528>as the government slowly wakes up to AI being an actual national security issuelolbet you believe in aliens tooAI has nothing to do with cybersecurity lmao
>>736098130I don't mean Christianity itself, but specifically the morals it imposes on its followers that makes them productive civil members of society. Benjamin Franklin once said “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.” Most of western culture used to be like this, even if you grew up secular, you absorbed the same messaging by osmosis. But thanks to importing so many 3rd world migrants, the internet, and allowing gay/tranny people to run wild and shit on christians all the time, we have a society where you can be as evil and cruel as you want as long as it's technically "legal".Unfortunately, you can't impose morals on people without a logical reason behind it and most people won't accept anything other than "god said so". Woke people tried to do it but their logic is so flawed it was easily deconstructed into the nonsense it actually is.
>>736084912They make a lot of money from steam and therefore have a lot of money for shills.
Wake me up when 64 gigs of DDR5 doesn't cost $600+.
>>736098629>the computer program that mass democratizes good-enough coding ability to every would be black hat on earth isn't a cyberthreatIts coding ability will only trend upwards from here. This isn't even getting into the actually existential near-term risks like bioweapon synthesis and gain-of-function research.
>>736098528>attacks???I care not for your Thucydidean rivalry, not nationalistic wanks.I will always use cheap open source shit over kike s|op.

>>736098886Sounds like wishful thinking.Hopefully OpenAi will die soon tho.
>>736098886see >>736096882It's real, but slightly inaccurate

>>736084189that's right up there together with>Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistakecan't beat someone who's patient
>>736098578not really, he's talking about the japanese boom before the bubble burst and led to the lost decade. by the 80s they were saying japan was gonna own the west by the end of the century

>>736098846Any Chinese model of equal capabilities to Claude would not be substantially cheaper. Inference compute is not free. Chink AI is cheap because they're consistently trailing the state of the art by ~6 months, with commensurately less compute used per query.
>>736099023Thats retarded. Japan was never big enough to own even their own continent lmao.Only retards would believe that. You need to be a real country (that means more than 2x2 feet of land) to lead the world.
>>736099098retard
>>736099093China already has better models than the west tho, specially video ones since they don't care about Israel's copyright laws.
>>736095223It's not an overnight thing
>>736099159Maybe for specific writing and chatting scenarios but GPT5.4 and Opus 4.6 lead by a country mile for coding and computer agenticity and it isn't even close.
Don't care about the GoyBoxDon't care about RAMMake storage cheap again
>>736099093>~6 monthsCompletely acceptable when they are 10x to 50x cheaper and can be run on US servers uncensored>>736099159they just bent the knee to kikewood and promised to respect IPs tho(they didn't to anything yet)
>>736098061>their shit just fucking works.Broadcasting never worked.Otherwise I agree with you.
>>736095223What's going to happen is all the RAM sellers are going to keep the price high until they absolutely have to lower them. It's a game of chicken, whoever lowers theirs first will take a majority of the sales and then before you know it it's a race downward to what the normal price used to be.
>>736099243Yeah no doubt Claude is king on coding. But video right now is China.It really is a race with multiple AIs fighting for supremacy on every field.
>>736099315Unless of course they get together in some secret meeting room and conspire to keep RAM prices high by agreeing to not lower the price too much.
>>736099270>they just bent the knee to kikewood and promised to respect IPs thoplease be fake
>>736098173don't forget chink brands are coming soon. cxmt have been making ddr5 iirc.
>>736094968heng sissies... we won
>>736099448https://www.reuters.com/world/china/disney-sends-cease-and-desist-bytedance-over-ai-generated-videos-2026-02-16/https://www.reuters.com/technology/bytedance-suspends-launch-video-ai-model-after-copyright-disputes-information-2026-03-14/
>>736093685Those will never lower until people stop buying at those prices
>>736099561I can't believe I'm rooting for chinks now.WHat a timeline.
>>736099663Fuck.We need to kill these jews holy fuck.Why does this always happen? Someone makes a ground breaking advance in AI technology, some jew complains about it, then the AI gets neutered to shit to the point its unusable.This has happened like 7 times already.
>>736093685why lower when you keep buying anyway lol
>>736099868Stop making porn of celebrities, it lowers their value~
>>736094232What, three cents? That's not even worth the time it takes to sell them.
>>736099989You get a foil sometimes, which can go for a few quid. And all it involves is installing a script to sell them automatically after they accumulate.
>>736097527Uplifted us? i dunno senpai looks like we thought you a lot more about cannibalism than you did us anything.
>>736099971lol
>>736099843Anything to break up the RAM cartel desu they've been doing shady shit to inflate prices for years.
>>736100156this
>>736083989When you do things right all the time, people start wondering if you anything at all.
>>736098015>still falling for kike tricksWhen will you learn
>>736099429But that's illegal!
>>736098886The rich and powerful elite want all the money, power and influence to control the whole of America and by extension the rest of the world and turn it into their own personal VIP clubHow is anyone STILL surprised by this?
>>736096186All great fiction comes from a greater source still: reality itself.
>>736084414Flagrant lying. RAM prices are as high as ever on Amazon
>>736083793he has divine energies and shapes the world to his will.
>>736084912I'm just a gay cunt
>>736084912they arent shit, in fact they provide some exceedingly reliable services that aren't consumer-hostilethis, sadly, is a rare quality these days
>>736083793OOOOOHHHMMMMMM
>>736100832weird
>>736084912Being the least bad makes them the best. Why is this hard to understand?
wait, ram prices are collapsing? i call bullshit, source?
>>736100096If yer a sudaca, and not 100% indio from the jungle, yer more whitoid than you realize.It's your world now as well.
>>736100832Havent seen a Palworld or Silksong thread in monthsTake your meds
>>736101026Silksong shills and Palsnoys still exist. They've just gotten good at blending in with other fanbases. They'll falseflag and psyop as Pokémon fans to start a hate train going against them. E33 shilling is the latest astroturf they like to cling to
>>736100962>RAM prices surged becase OpenAi boutght the entire stock for years>Google annouced ne algo that makes aisloppa rund faster for less>RAM cartel's stock tanked>OpenAI has no money to pay for the all the RAM they want and may not exist by next yearyou are here now
>>736101116Lmao so E33 seething really WAS fueled by tendies.
What makes people think companies will go>"We don't need all this RAM anymore, lets dump or sell all our extra!"instead of>"Cool, this means we can invest our extra RAM into AI!"and make AI require as much as it did before the RAM optimization?
>>736101137okay but did the prices tank or did they not tank?
>>736092286That anon is retarded and is likely completely misremembering a actual change in how they've made to how they teach reading some 5 or so years ago.Basically kids are no longer allowed to sound out words letter by letter or allowed to read out loud, they're now being taught to "just read the whole thing silently" because sounding out the words is a crutch or something, unfortunately illiteracy rates in school children have been absolutely fucking sky rocketing since that change.
>>736100978Honestly we already get fucked by our own politicians too much for any jews to fit in, people here can be just as addicted to money as any jew anyways.
>>736101116
>>736101248Stocks tanked.Prices did not, yet.(Probably won't much)
>>736096186Truth is stranger - and very often also much, MUCH more silly - than fiction.I mean - just look at Trump's second term...
>>736092158GPU prices did collapse after crypto
>>736096186Literally every person in power is an evil egotistical ridiculous braindead retard. All those shitty millennial stories where the le evil executive is actually an incompetent idiot manchild are true. They were 100% true
>>736101424well that's a whole fucking nothing then, innit? why should i care about fucking stock prices as a common man? all i care about is how much money goes out of my bloody pocket
>>736101163So E33 shilling really WAS fueled by snoys.
>sorry guys, we've got to raise prices for you all so we can sell all this RAM to the big corporations>we'll be raising the price from $100 to $900 over the course of the next month>4 months pass>okay guys, the big corporations don't need the RAM anymore, we're gonna lower the price now>a month? are you insane? we can't adjust our prices that quickly, it's gonna take us at least 2 years to return to $100, and that's only if the corpos don't need more RAM again in the meantime>honestly, just be happy we're not raising the prices even more to make up for lost revenuelol
>>736101554even if the prices go down, everything else will go up due the Iran war
>>736101703
>>736101431they came back down a notch not a collapse5080's go anywhere from 1200-1800 Eurodollars980 and 1080's were around 500-700€/$That's how it always go, if there is a sudden price hike the price will eventually come down but never to what is was.I wouldn't be surprised if DDR5 ends up being twice as expensive what it was 2024 after "the prices come down"
>>736101672It can't be helped.
>>736083793Gaben STAYS winning.
>>736084912Its just more console warring but PCfags can pretend they use GOG too. As a Piratechad Steam is just worse.
>>736096014The idea that rich people are intelligent is insane to me. Fuck Americans are retarded
>>736100832>memoryloooholes smashfansok nintendo adult
>>736102353>I don't pay for gamesso your opinion is irrelevant
>>736084912Most of your games are on steam faggot
>>736102463nope. I've seen the console vs PC threads and piracy is always used as a plus. When its convenient. In reality Steam has comparable pricing to other storefronts.
>>736083793>He chooses to not be manipulated.I'm a physicalfag so I don't do much gaming on PC, but the gaming world won't be the same when he dies.
>>736084912It makes more sense than blizzard worship, nintendo worship, sony worship... hell every other [game company] worship makes less sense. What's hard to understand exactly?
>>736102653why are they hitting the a pose?
>>736084912me either call it as you see itsteam is better than psn tho lol and switchbut valve is responsible for early access some mtx trends and you dont own your gamestheyre a mixed bagbut thats not the pointthe point is fucking over nvidia open ai and microsofttheyre so evil theyre even fucking over nintendo with the ram shit lol (nintendo deserves it tho)
>>736084659
>>736102742to prevent their aura from being farmed and mogged by the walking chad
>>736085528theyd be stupid to sell too low500 to 750 would take it to mass market cuz its better than a ps5fuck it if i were gabe id be selling steam machines holiday 2026 for 650 dollars on sale sony would cry lolthey did it last year with the deck at 320 when the new xbox ally came out and i lold
>>736099971Their value can't get lower than 0, where it already is.
>>736087707when i got lawfared the state stole my phone and my aol emailsteam was the only corporate service i got backjust went in and changed my email lmaofuck nintendo im still fucked if my oled breaks
>>736102947>deck at 320 when the new xbox allyNeither the Deck nor the ROG Ally (not made by xbox) is a mainstream product, it's niche and irrelevant compared to actual consoles that sell in the tens of millions
>>736098990>
>>736095007it's the epstein class doing all of that.
>>736101672just don't buy RAM for awhile and then they will have to lower the price.
>Google saves consumer grade PC parts by complete accident.Never thought I would see the day.
>l4d2 wasnt a valve faliureHoly memory hole you retards are delusional>launched literally as l4d1 WITH DAY LIGHT>absolutely shit on by everyone>gameplay was totally fucked up with adrenaline/laser sight/machete >hard rain made tourists shit and piss themselves>thousands of people got false VAC bans from modding>hilariously cringe redit boycott that failed as everyone in the boycott bought the game like the good NPCs they areThe only reason anyone plays l4d2 still is because they ported all of 1 over. Otherwise 1 is a much better game in all aspects
>>736102353>As a Piratechad Steam is just worse.Incorrect.You can add games from outside Steam and use a lot of Steam features regardless if you pirated it or bought it on another store. So Steam actually benefits pirates too.
>>736084889>turns out you can just download itKEK
>>736092318>openai's basically going "whoops we can't actually pay for all that ram lol"Didn't they sign a contract saying they would though?
>>736104726IIRC, they weren't "contracts" they were "letters of intent."
If you win your enemies, they kill.
>>736083793oh fuck we're going to have to find another excuse why we're not mass producing this thing we never had any intention on mass producingfuck shit fuck fuck
>>736105483you seem upsetthe steam machine will sow the seeds for home consoles going extinct
>>736104726nope
>>736105483only 2008 is real
>>736107425no shit
>>736107512the anon posted that image claiming it was fact, it was indeed a bunch of liesI just wanted to point it out
>>736107613thank god you're on the case, sherlock
>>736096014>using your e-mail for writing a diary instead of a simple notebookThis retard is a head of a major company whose worth is measured in hundreds of billions. I'd be very concerned if I were an investor.
>>736106617Two more weeks, trust the plan!
>>736084414>-0.6%Wow...
>>736108154stay mad
>>736083793Is Gaben the Ou Sen of our time?
>>736084659>Let's save memory by doing more compute! Surely it will cost less!lole
>>736108435
>>736084659>Google has a new AI model???are you talking about TurboQuant? literally a nothingburger, it just reduces RAM requirements when the context gets long
>>736108435buy the dip
>>736109049jesus ur such a moron
>>736084659>RAM is fucked>we need to fuck compute nowkek based
>>736110484I don't think you know what a computer even is
>>736083954lmao
>>736084912Steam is one of the very few big services on the internet that didn't get turbo-enshittified like everything else.
>>736113219It was enshittified since day one you drone
>>736083793how's he winning exactly?i imagine they've already bought most of their inventory at inflated prices, and may soon be expected to sell their console for less than anticipated
>>736113605I'm going to enshittify my dick by fucking your asshole.
>>736083793Just join a gang or video game company.
>>736084912I'm not going to call you names and remain calm. You probably never grew up without PC gaming was in the past with keys, antipiracy bullshit developers kept pushing and much more. Not to mention that Gabe's inception from MS and how he managed to make PC gaming what it is and the history behind their games and relationships with the modding community. Nevertheless I can't wait for the Steam machine and controller. I only ever turn my PC on for games and discussion.
lmao'ing @ all the timmybros
>>736092135They don't, actually.
>>736084189Sun t'zoo said that?
>>736088138>military buys 4000 ps3 units>no game sales for them>sony pushes an update that bricks all of them, after leaking whatever info they had>chinese laughs in the distancw
>>736083793>does nothing>gets surpassed by the google play store
>>736108591Meme Machine is going to flop and you know it.
>>736084189Nah, his competitors are just dumb.
>>736084912After taking the hit with forcing their DRM, they went out of their way to:>Make good games>Make the service not shitty to use>Give discounts whenever the greedy Jews in other corporations allowed it>Not be a bunch of massive cunts like themPersonally, I always found the worship to be a bit much, but I can understand why they were, and still are, held in high regard.
>>736084912there is no such thing, valve is just better than most tech companies/storefronts and people are grading it appropriately
>>736083793at this point it's just hubris
>>736104404like what? Why would I need a launcher?
>>736118501So your desktop isn't cluttered with 60 icons and you don't have to remember where the fuck you installed "Sister panty sniffer 3000: Onsen Edition".
>>736118602I don't leave my games installed. When I want to play one I will install it and use the start menu. Start menu would work with 60 games anyways.
>>736084912They make it easier for me to buy things, play with my friends, update games.15 years ago I was annoyed by the bloated launcher, but the gap between the bloat of the launcher software and my hardware has increased so much that it's like it isn't there anymore.I don't even use 3rd party voice chats anymore since steam's own voice chat is good.
Valve has so much money they can sell the Steam Cube for $50 and still make a profit.
>>736096014>under the condition they remain open source>but went publicIsn't that what open source is?
>>736118837Delusional, they are making it same build as a prebuilt and not making it cheap
>>736113219the fact that you need an account to run your games is enough "enshittification" in itselfif you were vouching for gog, I'd get you, but not shitty DRM storefronts
>>736094424>They aren't locked behind any sort of challenge to add value to them.this wouldn't work, people would just cheat
>>736097716>delivers a "trust me bro, i will buy them" non-binding piece of papermusk did this and then a court forced him to buy twitter
>>736098125Or finding a holotape on OpenAI's HQ besides the CEO's corpse with this
>>736101269>5 or so years ago.Those are gen alphas
>>736094045>killing every ip they buy>turning everything into gambling>being the pioneers of children's casinos>pioneering SSBM to optimize for "player engagement" (forced win/loss making your time worthless)holy freaking based le gaberns for the win!!!!! my fellow anons!
>>736084912its because they have put a lot of money into PR teams and advertisingpeople on here are dumb enough to fall for it. back when 4chan wasnt literally >50% bots people still dickrode valve even though theyve been almost exclusively a negative to video games
>>736097617their main product is gambling for children. of course they dont have to chase profits. they have no obligations to anyone because they are printing money.this is also why they ahvent had to release a successful product in decades.everything theyve done outside of lootcrates has been a massive financial flop. and portal
>>736120209>retarded sweeny pajeet shill projects his own situation onto otherslol
steam online play will need a subscription in the next years ( muh steam's servers are too expensive, we introduce this new, fun, amazing and revolutionary option to preserve the quality of our services in the future )
>>736121289That'd require Valve to do something, so it won't happen
>>736083793What the fuck? Fucking how?
Its going to be funny when its still announced for +$1000
>>736083793Gabe is actually humble and doesn't crave silver/gold.
>>736119289Open Source Company vs. Going Public:Open Source Company: Builds around truly open code (OSI-approved license) that anyone can freely use, modify, fork & self-host. Revenue comes from support, hosting, or add-ons. Prioritizes community, transparency & user freedom.Going Public (IPO): Shifts duty to maximize shareholder returns via quarterly results & stock price. This often pressures companies to restrict openness—relicensing to "source-available" models, gating features, or limiting commercial use (e.g., vs. cloud competitors). Community goodwill takes a backseat to profits.
>>736121978Yeah having a fleet of super yachts is very humble
>>736122119the ones for his private marine research company that has one of the most powerful submarines in the world?
>>736121978He's also not in the Epstein files
>>736122119They are medical frigates.
>>736122168Yeah hes not snorkeling and laying about all day despite him saying it himself, hes doing research! What a kind humble man!
>>736096186Nigga we got literal kike JRPG villains fucking and eating kids.We ARE the isekai heroes.Just a hell of a lot more autistic and without any cute cat girl waifus.
>>736101327It really is just shabbos fuckin goyim and their kike masters all over the world huh?Can we just get on with the global pogrom and go back to calling eachother slurs? plzkthxbai
>>736098130>>736098670I mean wouldn't a strict Nationalist structure like NatSoc Germany be sufficient? No dumb faggot bad shit for our people. No media that disparages the people. No shitfillers and untested chemicals in our food. Foreign policy that's strictly only to benefit the people of the nation and not bring in a gazillion fucking thirdies.
>>7360901181/4 of them all were murdered anon.The rest are practically mongrelized, where do you think the fucking broccoli hair came from? And then the rest are fucking pumped full of vax or come out of 35 year old dry wombs
>>736113845Niggernewfags do NOT understand what PC gaming was like from 2007-2012.You either had Steam which was slowly getting more and more gaemsOr YOU CAN ONLY INSTALL THIS GAME 5 TIMES GET FUCKED GOY AND ALSO SIGN UP FOR OUR MANDATORY SHITTY HALF-WORKING WEBSERVICE THAT'S SLOW AS SHIT
>>736096959I'm 100% taking foreigner assets and kicking them all out. The biggest thing is society is the best when you got a mix of socialism (NATIONAL) and capitalism. Caring for the nation's people has never been a bad thing and is always economically feasible. It just breeds good civilization.If fuckin Hitler can do it I don't see why we can't.
>>736094045Yeah, I know the whole PC master race overhyped Gabe N. But the truth is Valves positive reputation as a store front is earned. Other than GOG, every other game service has screwed with me by removing stuff from my library, going away and deleting my library, or just straight up changing the name of their service (origin) and telling me to rebuy all my games again.Sure, the social features are over moderated, they have done stupid stuff, and they were really shitty when they started out.... but they have learned from mistakes.GOG has slowly made me love them. They aren't perfect either but they really try. Their partnership with amazon is the only reason I've kept a prime subscription. They have never tampered with my library and good lord do they try. I applaud them as the game preserving storefront they are.I think GOG could blow up if they get their full linux support and decent social features in place. Also more partnerships please. It's comfy to get classics regularly.
>>736102891this is a nice picture.
>>736103690Evil
