“It starts with people hold their governments and representatives accountable”.

That is basically a non-answer and doesn’t mean anything. The reality is AI is classified a national security priority and therefore has the US govt to prevent it from running out of money.

You could argue that the US has already lost the AI race to China, though. The race isn’t won by building the gigantic LLMs. It isn’t about 1 million token context windows or 1 trillion parameter models. It’s about sentiment. Deepseek and the other distilled models take a novel approach with MoE and strict use case training, but ultimately its the willingness of people/companies to use the AI that results in the win.

US adoption is still the highest world-wide, but China is starting to take the lead on that and have they have stronger willingness to use it.

AI isn’t anywhere close to being a pump and dump scheme as you speculate.

The reality is it would be closer to the dot com bubble (if anything at all). Most of the damage would be in physical infrastructure like datacenters which would be an asset write-off. However, there is tangible profitability in AI which we didn’t see in dot com. That would imply if the demand does not exist (which we know it does looking at DevOps, BI, etc) that should things go south, it would be a market correction and not a market collapse.

Again, the weak point and therefore the most hurt would be overvalued segments which is basically the datacenter infrastructure, but that doesn’t imply a collapse/pop only a downturn and correction.

There is so much AI hype and so much anti-AI hype, that I doubt it really will.

For the last 4 years, we have perpetually been 90 days from both the AI market crashing and AI stealing all our jobs at the same time.

My thought is the AI market won’t crash because especially in data engineering and devops there is an inherent worth. I think there will be a potential downturn in the volume of cash flowing into perhaps after the big players like OpenAI and Anthropic go to IPO, but the market itself will remain stable. Similar to how the housing bubble crash didn’t actually wipe out the housing market (with or without the US govt saving the big players - it still would have survived on its own even if those players did not).

No I haven’t, but I think I’ll give that shot. Thanks for the heads up.

I had the same experience with cosmic. It was prone to crashes. I really like the idea of combining gnome with i3wm/hyprland though. I currently have one box using gnome with a tiling shell extension, but the issue there is extensions not being well supported between gnome versions.

I wouldn’t be opposed to retrying cosmic now. It’s been a few years.

Because now you can build it into a franchise. Intergalactic: <INSERT_TITLE>

25 years ago when I was a teenager I had a terrible problem with CD cases getting broken and thrown away. I would have those CD stack cases filled with loose random CDs and no keys. I believe it is still around but GameCopyWorld (just google it) is how I was forced to install.

Honestly, I should have just taped paper on the CD top with the keys, but I was a kid and didn’t think very far down the line.

Is this meant as a rhetorical question or are you seriously asking?

Denuvo CEO: “Well, actually, it makes things faster. We streamline the process through several other processes to output the same result. We like to think of it as a fun multiplier. That’s how Denuvo math works here.”

One thing to remember with VirusTotal is that it should only be used as a “tool of consensus”. A lot of AV solutions on their list will false flag binaries presumably to instill fear and get people to buy their solutions over more reputable AV providers. You want the AV that works the best which many people would equate to the most flagging (as logically incomplete as that may be).

If you are seeing 66 flags and many of those being from reputable vendors, then I would say that what they show is likely accurate. Accuracy and relevance being two different things. 100% accuracy on keygen tools doesn’t mean that it is a relevant flag to what you’re trying to do.

You could try software solutions like LOKI (the IoC scanner) or Azul to test specific binaries, though. I believe LOKI is just doing static analysis, but Azul I know automates the sandboxing.

Denuvo’s CEO (I think it was) tried to explain that it couldn’t impact performance, but that’s basically impossible. They are pushing parts of the game through a VM and doing encryption/decryption on the fly. That’s going to generate significant overhead. Whether it were to get pushed to GPU over CPU, blah blah, their DRM is still adding additional hoops for the machine to jump through.

Nazi vibe coded dot files.

Multiple people mentioned there are on the Epstein list. They probably misheard “kitty exploit” as “kiddy exploit”.

And what did you actually do?

The fact that all of your posts have been involved in sleazy ad campaigns doesn’t give any legitimacy to this one. It’s just digital begging using a false AI sob story.

Yeah, I’m going to have some doubts about the “AI replaced me” part. My company works heavily with AI now and no one has lost their job. What their job was is EXTREMELY important here. Did they make birdhouses at a financial firm?

Nevermind. I found him: https://www.bizprofile.net/ca/woodland-hills/theseus-games-inc https://www.themarque.com/profile/justin-berenbaum His LinkedIn connects Thesus Games with Xsolla.

Yeah, he wasn’t “replaced by AI”.

NOTE: If you’re thinking that maybe it is just a dev working for Thesus Games, you can check the comment history on that account like: https://lemmy.world/comment/24338752 Name changes have to go through leadership meaning this was Justin speaking.

I’m not going to that site because I don’t want malware.

I’m guessing the titles include such classics as:

1. Hitler Simulator 2026
2. A border tower defense game that’s just gunning down migrants
3. A digital version of the game Operation, only it’s all children, and they’re just asleep, and you aren’t a doctor.

I don’t see how game streaming at least in the US market would ever work without higher performance infrastructure anyway. Functionally, it’s not a matter of bandwidth but latency. Xbox servers are centralized regionally, so even with latency within WebRTC range (like sub-20ms), cross-country traversal can add up to 30ms which makes games feel awful in terms of control.

I run NixOS as a daily driver and on a box for docker containers. I will say that it is stable to point that since nothing seems to ever really break, I don’t feel I really understand the configuration as well as I could (since I’m not having to fix things and learn).

I started with just traditional NixOS but later moved to using flakes. Because of flakes input pinning, it’s much more reproducible but also even more stable. The biggest benefit I see to flakes is the use of local git for updating. Since I have git logs for auditing, if something were to go wrong, I’d just find that change in log and revert to before that commit hash (or just revert to different generation).

The biggest problem I’ve had is how procedurally some tasks change and sometimes are made more difficult. Symlinks is a good example of that. In Arch, symlinking is just a basic one-liner. In NixOS, it’s a matter of writing config more verbosely to the configuration.nix file :

(pkgs.writeTextFile {
  	name = "tst";
  	destination = "/bin/tst";
  	executable = true;
  	text = builtins.readFile ./scripts/tst;
}) 

That’s a good takeaway from NixOS: things are more verbose in setup, but tend to get set once and never again.
