People, as here, who object when the discussion isn't about what they want it to be about seem to think that there is some sort of posting limit on Slashdot.

If you don't like a comment thread IGNORE IT. It has no effect on other comment threads that are more to your liking.

Reddit is (deliberately) shit and I am glad they have problems with AI, and anything else, and I hope a better forum site replaces them. So I don't have much to add to discussions about their new problems.

I do have something to say about why Reddit deserves to die, hence my comments here.

> I wonder how many problems they tried before they solved one successfully.

Was gonna mod Insightful, but the replies aren't getting it.

"Solving this problem cost $2000."

That may be true.

"We tried to solve 50 problems at $2000 each and one was successfully solved."

This can also be true which means:

"We spent $100K and we solved one open problem."

which is fiscally, but not akshually, the same as:

"We spent $100K to solve one problem."

If Astra is "all that", OpenAI should have a pricing tier, "no charge unless the problem is solved."

Now *that* would be an impressive vote of confidence and everybody should be excited about it.

Sandisk and SK Hynix are fleecing everybody - pc and phone makers, NVIDIA, the Mag7 - which means we are all paying a ton more for their products. They are essentially an oligopoly along with a small handful of memory makers. Did they do this out of the kindness of their hearts, or to create a standard they control to their own benefit?

I joined Reddit and started reading a Reddit sports group.
It is a less-popular sport, so it was the only group discussing it.
I got insulted for objecting to woke nonsense, insulted the person back, turned out to be the mod - > Banned, from all of Reddit.

The tentacles of the demented woke reach way beyond political discussion groups.

Funny but the only game I own on Steam is the Doom/Doom2 full collection. It is 50 years old, gets new maps daily from many different dev's. I play on the free UZDoom engine which is as good as most today. I play the original BG and BG2 quite often, they are old as well. Beyond BG3 I've not found too many compelling new games. I use Steam for Demo's and to see what is new. I buy on GoG and Itch.
