This one was never $35. The higher compute power and 16GB onboard RAM had the base price at $120 at launch.

This isn’t inflation, it’s billionaire-flation.

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard today. Having Claude “play”-test a game 1200 times isn’t the same as having 1200 humans playtest something. It’s having one pseudorandom test 1200 times.

Also, isn’t the point of games that humans play them? That’s why it’s called a playtest. Humans play the game and report what they found enjoyable versus what needed work. The designer then gets to choose if adding units or balancing abilities is warranted. How would a machine know what an audience finds fun? How could it know what a dominant strategy might be? They don’t, and this idea that you can outsource creativity to AI is fundamentally flawed.

They mean specific ones.

Shares of CoreWeave were lower Wednesday, along with Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which is headquartered in Texas.

The first sentence in the article says everything (else) is up overall.

Well yeah, this is a warning for investors. The rest of us are less than nobodies to them.

More like “subscribe in” so they can slowly but continually raise prices, continue to price out the consumer market, and ultimately decide who gets access.

Said something mean about oligarchs? Tried to sue one of their buddies? Promoted pro-worker ideals on social media? No computing for you, or maybe they hit just you with additional punitive hidden fees.

Blocking ad blockers is small potatoes for them. They’re going for the jugular.

Found their Github. Looks like it’s a custom Linux kernel…? I dunno, it’s really hard to tell directly; I’m inferring from context clues (like tagging Raspberry Pi, mentioning the open Nvidia kernel modules, etc.).

Famous for hiding business owners and shielding them from legal consequences. I haven’t heard about them being a tax haven; they just have a really thick corporate veil.

More of a digital homunculus.

I mean, saving subscription costs is one draw for me personally, but at that point it’s a matter of making up my hardware investment cost versus the subscription costs over time. This isn’t an instant money saver, and it never was.

Something something single point of failure.

Is this some new money laundering thing? Are companies “buying in” to hobnob with other wealthy people? Is this just the latest Country Club or whatever?

I seriously don’t understand why all these companies are throwing money at a project that is almost assuredly going to “mismanage” it.

Exactly as predicted years ago. Project 2025 is still being followed, and they’ve accomplished over 50% of their stated goals in less than two years, with more to go.

Neat, I didn’t know that was possible
