Sesame AI was doing this close to 2 years ago. I don't know where they are now with the model as I haven't been keeping up with it, but I played with the demo a few years ago and it was fun to chat with for a time. I'm sure openAI saw it, ripped it off and now pushing it like it is revolutionary.

Capitalism can't be abolished fast enough.
Since you are so forward thinking with your statement, what do you suggest we replace it with? Or are you just another parrot without a shred of real thought?

I love my steam deck and use it all the time. I have the original run model and it is still holding up great. I added emulation so I can play old console games on it, in addition to my Steam library. I can play games from the NES era right through to PS3. I play all kinds of games on it, from Super Mario Bros 3 to Super Mega Baseball. I find it is perfect for games in that mid range tier, things like Hades, Rayman Legends, Tony Hawk etc...
Comment Re:Last FM != Soma FM (Score 2) 10
I have been using last.fm since 2008. I mainly use it to track/chart my listening habits. It is great for those who like statistics, see which bands you listen to most and when, trends in your plays. It is also handy to easily find bands you listen to who are in town, connect with people who have similar listening habits and just chat about music. Pretty much a Facebook for bands/artists, when Facebook was about connecting people (pre-like, wall, and corporations using it).
Soma.FM was great back in the day, when it was mainly Groove Salad.

Maybe I'm mistaken but the video linked in the summary looks like it is AI generated. With that said, I still agree with what Woz (real or not) is saying in the video. AI can be a handy tool, but use it as a tool, not a crutch. I find many people are using it as a crutch or a way to get them through life, not assist them. Instead of trying to solve a problem on their own, they instantly resort to AI and this is going to slowly kill their ability to think on their own. Just like those same people who rely so heavily on GPS when driving that they ignore their own eyes and drive into construction sites, into bodies of water, off cliffs, etc.
We are entering a very interesting time for the human race. I can see many good things happening from AI, like radical medical advancements or better ways to design products. But I can also see a large chunk of the population becoming absolutely dead weight and essentially mindless drones as they lose their ability to read, write, or even think clearly because they allow AI to do it for them.
