The Xreal Air~, or the just-being-released Xreal Air 2 Ultra, is potentially that.

Oled displays and cameras for tracking objects and hands.

Edit: also just saw this

  1. I think you’re on the wrong community for this question.

  2. The thing regularly referred to as “AI” of late is more accurately referred to as generative AI, or large language models. There’s no capacity for learning from humans, it’s pattern matching based on large sets of data that are boiled down to a series of vectors to give a most-likely next word for a response to a prompt. You could argue that that’s what people do, but that’s a massive over simplification. You’re right to say it does not have the ability to form thoughts and views. That said, like a broken clock, an LLM can put out words that match up with existing views pretty darn easily!

You may be talking about general AI, which is something we’ve not seen yet and have no timeframe for existing. That may be able to have beliefs… But again, there’s not even a suggestion of that being close to happening. LLMs are (in my opinion) not even a good indicator or precursor to that coming soon.

TL;DR: An LLM (or generative AI) can’t have or form beliefs.

I mean, happily, chatbots are not really capable of learning like that.

So she’s got a while, there.

Have you got a source for that?

A quick search suggests that generating an image consumes between 0.01 and 0.29 kWhs (quite a range, so let’s hit the middle and use 0.14kWh), while playing Cyberpunk on a PS5 pulls about 200W, so ~0.2kWh per hour.

Seems pretty comparable, assuming you only generate a few images an hour… but if you were generating dozens, it seems like you’d overtake gaming pretty quickly.

Edit: I apologise, I took the Google summary of an article at face value. Clicking through to the linked article here actually says per 1,000 image generations which is far lower. Urgh, though actually the article also says 0.01 to 0.29 kWh. I’m just going to find another article. 🤦 If you did have a source with numbers, I’d still be interested in seeing it!

To be clear, that thirty percent was the going rate for stores back when Steam started - not just since 2019.

I don’t know where you’re getting the 15-20 percent thing.

It’s clearly down to the increase in visible moustache-twirling villains in the news, saying stuff like “and I would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those meddling kids.”

Or something.

Personally, I’m also annoyed at the increased use of “needs done”, which feels like it’s missing half a sentence. But hey, languages are big - and can fit a lot of different usage.

For what it’s worth, as it’s not clear if you’re already aware, but Al Franken was actually a pretty decent senator for ~9 years.

Jon has stuck his oar into political matters, but not at that level.

Out of interest, have you seen hbomberguy’s recent video on plagiarism in YouTube and the section on AVGN?

Yes, and?

Trying to make money from games with long term support is a tricky thing that companies keep trying to do - it can lead to season passes, microtransactions, deluxe/supporter editions, buyable maps and expansions - or stuff like this.

Companies try to get money to support game, more news at eleven…
