I’m a little confused by how your comment relates to what I was saying. I’m not saying it doesn’t but I truly just don’t understand what you’re getting at.
I’m not a fan of where this tech is heading, especially when looking at all of the companies who are pushing for it. I do think it’s somewhat misleading to say that Apple is opening the door when we’re already seeing things like the glasses from meta, the upcoming (maybe now released) glasses from Google, and the plethora of AI powered devices and pendants already existing and I constantly get served ads for. I believe pocket and plaud are the two I see the most. We’re seemingly getting closer to living in a black mirror episode every day.

The article, which is more of an angry rant, only exists because the author believes someone stole his work and comes out at the end. I wish I could have the time I spent reading it back.
Getting an equivalent amount of ram in GPU's is substantially more expensive than this. A single RTX 6000 Blackwell with 96gb of ram is like $16,000 now. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but essentially with the Mac Studio you're getting the ability to run larger models, at slower speeds, for a lot cheaper.
This article was published on July 29th. I’m not saying it may not still be interesting or whatever but I thought that was worth pointing out.
From what I understand there are many different grades of helium and the shortages (at least when I initially was looking in to them) revolved more around the higher grades.
I guess I've never really understood why people who don't like the way the iPhone and apple ecosystem work buy apple products. There are plenty of other options out there. Every time articles about this and the App Store pop up it seems as if the comments are filled with a whole lot of android users that are upset that iPhone's aren't like androids. That's not to say those are all of the comments and there aren't clearly iPhone users who want these options but again, why buy a product that doesn't support these things if they're so important to you in the first place.
This is more like shouting to everyone in a restaurant that's mainly filled with people you've never met that you're done with your meal and are leaving
I know this is highly unrealistic but maybe the quality of customer service and how well the customer is taken care of may matter again
TVs and phones maybe? I’m not sure and it’s definitely a good question. My only guess at this point could be rockstar specifically restricting streaming to PC.
I know that you did and didn’t mean anything by my comment if it came across a certain way. I just thought it would be worth clarifying and sharing my experience with having done local and self hosted streaming previously versus the cloud streaming I’ve been doing in place of it.
From a Kotaku article on the same subject:
Update 10/6/2026 11:42 p.m.: Xbox chief strategy officer Matthew Ball has said that The Verge‘s report from earlier today claiming Xbox had exclusive streaming rights to GTA 6 was “misreporting.”
“We are looking forward to launching GTAVI on XBOX November 19, though the game will not be streaming exclusively or to PC.”
I’m talking about cloud streaming though I used to do local streaming through steam and remote streaming through parsec. GeForce now in my experience has worked better than either of those options running on my own hardware regardless of the hardware being local occasionally.
As someone who used to upgrade their GPU every year to the newest top card I find it to be indistinguishable from local hardware 95%+ of the time. It’s fairly mind blowing how well it works. Also just to clarify again I pay for the ultimate or whatever the highest tier of GeForce now is for like $20/month and use it primarily on a wired connection so that’s where my experience comes from. With their service you still need to pay for and own the games (though it also connects to Xbox game pass) so you’re only paying for the streaming. It’s also not something that depends on developers allowing it to be on the service so not every game is on there but the catalogue is quite large. I play on a 3440x1440p ultrawide at 100hz and I believe the ultimate sub supports up to 4k@120hz
I didn’t say only on a wired connection. All of my experiences streaming wirelessly have also been great. I’m just not willing to make the same level of claim when I’ve probably spent less than ten hours streaming on WiFi and hundreds on a wired connection.
Cloud game streaming has gotten to be extremely impressive, at least on a wired connection, to the point where it’s almost hard to tell you’re streaming. It’s been hard for me to consider upgrading my old gaming PC considering how good GeForce Now is for the $20 a month that I spend.
I don’t want this to imply that autopilot is somehow flawless and not allowing/including it is the wrong choice. However crashes and fatalities are something that already happen so I’ve always found it shocking just how much they’re highlighted and focused on when a computer causes them. I just think these things need to be looked at from a much more statistical angle than they currently seem to be. Innovation has kind of always been dangerous and risky throughout history with unfortunate lessons learned. Mitigating them should obviously be the goal but some level of risk kind of has to be acceptable.
I'm a little lost on how this comparison and explanation answers what I was asking, would you mind expanding on it? Guns and projectiles were just fancier ways for humans to kill each other.
My comment was focused on the original comments insight that AI will use humans to try to end other humans as it's imo nothing more than a change in who is doing it than a difference in what's happening. In that scenario the balance of power is in the hands of the AI and not the people who control, or I guess controlled, the GPUs.
Humans have been using humans against other human throughout time, is it really any different?
For anyone unaware this is stated to essentially be the MMO continuation of Runescape Dragonwilds which was a survival and crafting game that recently released into 1.0 after its commercial success.
The reporting in this is pretty awful. Why are they acting as if Andrew gave the agent an innocent goal? It’s hard to understand why the reporter wouldn’t have asked what possible outcome Andrew expected that didn’t cause some level of harm to the people who signed up before him.
The use of “hack” and “cyber attack” is also a bit ridiculous considering what it’s insinuating with other recent events but that’s already been mentioned.
I can't help but feel that this reads more as a reflection that you don't want to stop being a developer than it does that thing's aren't moving in the direction that the GP said it is.
You’re setting my expectations high for your next prediction
This just seems weirdly similar to Plato's comments on writing:
"And so it is that you by reason of your tender regard for the writing that is your offspring have declared the very opposite of its true effect. If men learn this, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls. They will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks.
What you have discovered is a recipe not for memory, but for reminder. And it is no true wisdom that you offer your disciples, but only the semblance of wisdom, for by telling them of many things without teaching them you will make them seem to know much while for the most part they know nothing. And as men filled not with wisdom but with the conceit of wisdom they will be a burden to their fellows."
Maybe it simply comes down to how things get used and people are trying to figure out how to use this strange new tool that's available to us.
The OS of choice may be an “impossible” ask from Apple. However with the Neo running on the A18 I don’t think we’re far from seeing something along those lines.
Typically people don’t use 1:1 movement when using something like this. It’s a much higher ratio so you only have to slightly move your head to look around. It allows you to do it quicker but also avoids exactly what you’re describing.
This is a good example of having sound logic but not understanding the actual use case. It's simply a way to add functionality in a way to attempt to mimic what humans are capable of in a game. Not everyone wants to or is capable of using VR for various reasons. This allows you to use a slight physical movement of your head to replace using a mouse to move the camera, primarily in flight and racing simulators. That means you don't have to take your hand off of the racing wheel to move a mouse around, or even need to have a mouse available to you.
Are you legitimately trying to compare alcohol to heroin?
