Lots of games work. Here's the summary:

Pick SteamOS if:

* You play mostly on Steam
* You want better battery and fewer headaches
* You like quick suspend/resume and controller-friendly menus
* You don’t need online shooters like Valorant or Fortnite

Pick Windows if:

* You want full compatibility with all games and services
* You need Game Pass, Epic Store, or Riot Games
* You don’t mind tinkering with settings, drivers, and updates
* You’re using your handheld for work or media too

Your idea is that if OpenAI goes out of business, somehow airline engine manufacturers will also go out of business?

You said cars in current production are twice as good and half the cost. You lied.

As for a citation [sodiumbatteryhub.com] demonstrating "twice as good at half the cost" I'd suggest that this comes close.

Fail. A battery that is not yet in production does nothing to prove the quality of cars currently in production.

I don't know what is wrong with you that you don't realize that, but something is wrong with you.

Oh spare your bullshit. You were happy to let the claim "Chinese make a product that is twice as good and half the cost" pass without complaining about APA references.

If you believe the cars are twice as good, then show your work, because it is not at all obvious. That is my claim.

The real risk is that with all those huge financial deals, when OpenAI fails, they'll take other companies with them, companies that produce goods and services that we cannot easily do without.

Which other companies are you thinking of that might fail if OpenAI fails? NVidia?

The "attention mechanism" isn't magic, and it isn't attention in the same way a human has attention. It's a name chosen for hype, much like the term "quantum teleportation" or "entropy" (in information theory). They are all names chosen to get attention.

We have ways for dealing with this in a standard manner:

Let the company go into bankruptcy and investors eat the losses. If reorganization is impossible, sell of the pieces to the highest bidder.

but heaven forbid the FDIC bail the bank itself out with a loan that got paid back (which they don't pay for).

This is why the bankers win. All they have to do is create a paper trail complicated enough, and people like you think they paid it back. Where did they get the money to pay it back?

You don't do research. You also don't read, because I did put things into words. https://slashdot.org/comments....

That makes sense. You imagine things rather than researching them.

The Chinese made a product that is twice as good and half the cost

There's a really big [citation needed] on that. They've definitely taken shortcuts: https://www.youtube.com/shorts...
