[@McLongSausage]

I like to think of him as the FF8 Jumbo Cactuar GF random encounter, your looking for it but you never know when it will happen, hits like a Tank and Peace, Gone.

[@MayaPosch]

The thing that's still very much missing with the whole 12VHPWR/12V-2x6 connector slow-moving-trainwreck is why anyone would be interested in using it. The only advantage it seems to have over the old-school PCIe connectors is that it can burn your house down. I'd rather run an extra PCIe power cable to my humongous RTX 4090 card, to be honest.

[@sircartdark]

The adapter actually makes it look so much uglier. I would rather see it with a consistent width instead of going from really wide to a skinny adapter.

[@kektaro]

It's not even needed. The 7900xtx often runs at 450+ watts and 3 8 pins are enough because each is rated for 150 watts plus 75 from the pcie slot. Not to mention how much uglier 12vhpwr looks

[@CodeDonut]

the connecter in itself would be much safer if they actually went with 8+2+2 pin rather than 8+4mini pins. so an 8 pin connector with 2 normal sized pins on either side.

[@HelipOfficial]

At this point, if nvidia wants to use that dumb connector, the voltage line should be changed to 24v or 48v. Higher voltage means reduced amperage with the same wattage use. Less chance of the connector overheating.

[@MayaPosch]

@@HelipOfficial Could also pull a 3dfx and supply GPUs with an external power brick :)

[@SplitScreamOFFICIAL]

Counterpoint: physical media weather's and dies because of use and wear, but companies going into your house to remove media you own after telling you for years you are "purchasing" it, not RENTING or leasing it. That's the problem

[@Splatterboy519]

The NYT - OpenAI lawsuit is extremely important. The concept of copyright infringement and copyright law in general is still being glossed over in discussions surrounding AI training and datasets. It needs to be made EXTREMELY clear to OpenAI and other ventures, that they can't just help themselves to whatever data they want. Additionally, we should also be discussing further laws which can allow writers or other creatives to protect their intellectual property from being used in datasets against their will.

[@John_Jack]

If I can train myself on how to speak English by reading the NYT, why can't I train an AI the same way? All these copyright suits are doing is making it impossible to get clean data for AI training. By mudding the water with endless copyright complexity: you're not stopping AI, nor are you going to "give it to the people," you're just making the AI worse.

[@Splatterboy519]

If an AI only becomes effective by allowing it to steal other people's work, then maybe we should be having a conversation about the ethics of chatbots in the first place. Relating the experience of learning a language to training datasets is quite absurd, since these instances simply aren't comparable. When an AI generates a new text, it does not do it in the same way that you would. It doesn't use intellect, it simply smashes together pre-existing data in a convincing manner. So the concept of copyright is relevant, since the data isn't being used in a transformative way, it literally is just used as it is. An AI does not know what makes a 'good text', only what 'good texts' look like. And so it just steals from the 'good texts' which are available to them. That is literally how the chatbots work, and why this conversation is important. @@John_Jack

[@Splatterboy519]

There's also the whole issue surrounding factuality. An AI can't meaningfully differentiate between facts and misinformation. And there are probably a lot of writers at NYT who would very much prefer for their data not to be used to produce misinformation. @@John_Jack

[@Splatterboy519]

My biggest issue with all of this, is this 'for the greater good' attitude that so many AI devs keep spinning. So many seem to genuinely believe that stealing from others to train AI is a universal good, and that those who write for a living should just suck it up. But no, that's not how any of this works. The stolen texts will only ever meaningfully benefit the developers of the software, as it makes their job easier, at the cost of other people's work. And I think that's a load of crap tbh. @@John_Jack

I am glad Kyle made it to the comment section. He brings such a youthful point of view. Also Reece video looked like he was through the window in the back. Just like if he was a ghost... A ghost in the shell of UFD! Cheers and have a good one!

[@LBXZero]

Looking at the possibilities for the RX 7800 non-XT, RX 7700 non-XT, and RX 7600 XT, this is my only hypothesis. RX 7800 will replace the RX 7700 XT at around $450, being a 16GB variant of the RX 7700 XT. The RX 7700 XT price will drop to $400 range, maybe better at $380. The RX 7700 will sit around $330, being a slower RX 7700 XT. The RX 7600 XT will be a Navi 32 die with only 8GB of VRAM (2 IO dies), placing around $280. The existing RX 7600 will see a mild price cut. I can see room for an RX 7500 set for the target of $200 and $150 using cut down Navi 33. I feel like I am being optimistic on the prices.

[@ElTeeger]

Thank you Reece! You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for the Corsair virtuoso! Thank you 🙏

I really appreciate your South African context in talking about tech accessibility, too often the southern hemisphere is considered less important in terms of support and communication even though EMEA is an important tech market

[@daltimond]

I mean I rarely read the terms that games make you agree to before you play them but I am aware that even with physical media these days you are still licensing the game. So even the arguments for physical media are subject to the same stuff. They can technically do this for your disc copies of games too. I think its messed up, for sure, but at the end of the day, we all are agreeing to it. I think this is becoming such a big deal because people don't realize that we don't "own" much anymore. Most media is licensed to us but the consumers assume we own it like back in the ps2/dvd era. Granted I'm not super sure if disc copies of movies and shows are the same as games, but I think its a licensing agreement there too.

[@johnpp21]

you might want to check your cuda-z/aida if your connected to gen4/3 oculink pcie gen 4.0 is kinda signal sensitive, my mini pc has troubling to get that gen4 signal, it degrades to gen3, so you might have to try shorter cables if it didn't

[@spoots1234]

I assume the 7600xt fills the 6700xt price and performance void. $329 to $349 most likely.

[@AutoCannonSaysHi]

Frankly I don't trust anything that I would be storing on a cloud computer somewhere offered by a service, for as long as a physical copy, atrophy or damage included. If it's not a copy in my hands, I don't own it. It avoids the struggle later of trying to replay an old classic to someone you're trying to share a cool movie with. Instead of "Oh no they took it down" it's "I got it right here, hold up"

[@DreamerSouls]

Even though Nintendo is shutting down there online multiplayer services pretendo is still being worked on as replacement servers. Sucky that they feel the need to take away everything after their plastic box gets old and outdated. These services and games should be made open for the public to maintain after they shut it down

[@markbrettnell3503]

My biggest problem with this digital download only, is that they charge you full ownership price and not make it clear that you are actually signing a lease agreement to be able to watch it so long as the licensing agreement stands. It was made clear as mud this could happen and that's why alot of people are pissed. If they charged an appropriate amount and it was clear upon "payment", that you're paying for a lease AND paying less, then people would be more understanding. It's bloody low and shady of Sony and other companies doing this, have hidden this info far into the "purchase agreement".

[@markbrettnell3503]

This is also why I do not agree with this digital only BS. Charged full price as if I have a physical copy and only have a half assed digital download. SHENANIGANS!!!! I DECLARE SHENANIGANS!!!!!!

[@flintfrommother3gaming]

Read the ToS and EULA is also a BS argument. NO one reads them and saying "just read them" when nobody actually reads them is not a valid argument (nobody understands them so it doesn't even matter, they intentionally use the most complex words and sentences strung together.)

Java is the OG Minecraft version and is what I play for the most part. Java and Bedrock mostly have feature parity but not 100%. Java Minecraft has a more extensive technical community and redstone. Java has thousands of free mods and mod packs. Bedrock has better performance than Java but lacks in the redstone and micro transactions for mods.

[@real_rsaNoob13]

Mods don't have to be paid for strictly (unless you're on console) on all other platforms they can be imported and there is ingame support for importing mods, texture packs etc. Even works on mobile (except ios cos apple) I mainly use bedrock for playing with RTX since it has support for it

[@Giraffiti]

You made a really good point about the lifespan of physical media in correlation to the expiration of digital licenses. Building off your point on compact disks, basically all CDs besides specifically archival made ones will experience irreversible data rot within 50 years and become useless. For example, I have a 28 year old French magazine CD containing one of Daft Punk's earliest songs, and it's already experiencing data rot. Following in line with the digital license expiration debate, would I realistically contact the French magazine and claim that I'm entitled to a new copy for continued access? Obviously not since they're probably not even around nor have the rights to Daft Punk anymore, but the moment this situation applies to digital media, it's apparently a different story. Even assuming you make a copy to digital mediums, you're still betting on the lifespan of the digital medium whether it's a HDD, SSD, cloud, etc which can still die suddenly and you're back to square one of nothing lasting forever. All in all, I heavily agree with you that it's up to the user to extract the value from the media and, in the end of the day, it will inevitably disappear unless someone cares enough to maintain copies of the media.

[@SD-ud9sh]

I like that google is fighting apple we cant give on companie to matchpower

[@jeffreydurham2566]

If the AI is getting training data by scraping the Internet in much the same way as a search engine scrapes the Internet then I don't think they have much of a case. If they are getting access to data that you would otherwise have to pay for, but are not paying for it, then there would be an issue.

[@MrExdous69]

I am 0/2 on buying GPUs. I built my pc with the Intel Arc a750 because I wanted to support a 3rd party in the scene. It worked until Starfield was released and I couldn’t play it on the Arc. So I bought the only other current gen GPU I could afford, the RX7600. This was a great card until I bought my 1440p monitor. Now I have to buy a 3rd GPU. This time im going to spend more than I can really afford at once and get a A tier card that will last two to three years minimum… which looks like I only have the options of the RX7800XT, the RX7900XT and the RX7900XTX. I mean I could look at a 4070,4070ti, or even like a 3080 or 3080ti but the VRAM on the Nvidia cards makes me feel like the mid to lower top end of the Nvidia cards simply don’t have the staying power. Sure they are up to 20% faster than some of the AMD cards, but it seems to me the AMD cards will have more staying power with twice the VRAM

[@randy206]

7900xtx is faster than the 4080. I know that 950-1000 bucks is a lot to spend on a gpu and I know that dlss is a tempting feature. I have a 3080ti, an rx6600, an rx6900xt, and an rx7900xtx. The amd radeo software is very nice to use, overclocking the cards through the Radeon software is super easy. You don't need to sign up for or register a user name to use the amd radeon software. And with starfield, the Radeon cards are smoking fast. Also, the AMD cards just use the standard pcie 8pin power connectors. No messing around with the 12vhpwr cable.

With the portal lack of captive wifi. You shouldnt have to buy a third party device to begin with. It should just be a built in function. The fact that the device is $300 and can't login to a captive wifi page is just an absolutely ridiculous issue. Sony is being given far too much slack for stuff like this and that sort of attitude will only make problems like these less likely to be addressed.

[@NeilBooth]

The computer world is 30+ years behind in power connectors, compare the design difference between xt90 and 12VHPWR. The 4090 power connector is just stupid, they should study the xt90 connector for how to safely make a connector. Two huge power point is much better and smoother than 12 shitty skew failure points which won't line up.

[@randy206]

I use prime video as my main streaming service. Maybe canceling my prime subscription.

I was no longer getting 2 day delivery with Prime, about 4 yrs ago for some reason. It was basically a 50-50 chance. I was surprised to not be seeing complaints..

[@VTOLfreak]

Beta test cables? This is nuts. Just stop using it and go back to regular 8pin. I like innovation and change but this new connector is just a bad design and does nothing better than the old one. Unless you really need to power a 600W card with a single cable. My 7900XTX uses 3x8pin so not a big deal if it needed a fourth one IMHO.

Bedrock has micro transactions, different Redstone functions, and recipes. Java is much more modern friendly, and with optifine or fabric, it can run better than bedrock. Using modrinth or curse forge, you can easily mod the hell out of Java edition and play online with friends.

[@craigreustle2192]

Are there actually people that care what color their bubbles are? I assume you are jokingly minimizing the issue when talking about it. Sending videos and pictures that aren't compressed into a poo smear and encryption would be nice.

So I understand that AI uses media to increase its knowledge base and where that data comes from is a source of contention. What about the composer who listens to many artists and then comes with a new track, but we’re mad when AI does it. Is it because it doesn’t give credit to the artist it derived its sound from?

[@CaptainJonathan]

AI lacks creativity.

[@Splatterboy519]

This is because an AI does not operate on intuition. The difference is that an AI chatbot does not know what makes a track 'good', it only knows what 'good tracks' look like. So when it's generating a new track, it's leeching directly off of the data that is available to it. It does not interpret, adapt or even understand the data it's using. While an artist might take inspiration from other artists (and sometimes even getting close to copying), their own perspective/taste will always influence the end product. Ask three musicians to produce a piece of music based off of the same material, and you'd still get three very different pieces. An artist uses their inspirations to create new works, an AI generates 'new' works by leeching from the data it has, and it's therefore often hard to truly argue that these works even are 'new', or just cold amalgamations of already existing works.

[@Splatterboy519]

That's why the conversation on copyright in terms of AI generation is important, because it's not taking inspiration from the data it has, it literally just steals it and smashes it together, creating the illusion of a new piece.

[@anonanon5666]

Gonna have to disagree with how you compare physical items vs artificially manipulated lifespans. While yes physical media has finite lifespans, digital media's (for the most part) is artificially manipulated. While yes, people agree to the terms of service when paying for digital media, imo, it is still morally wrong. People agree to scummy practices all the time. The fact that it is in the agreement, does not justify its morality. Hypothetically, say someone purchased skins from that hit game "The Day Before" and with its lifespan being super short didn't offer returns, would you say you've gotten your money's worth? The gaming industry has gone mostly digital and a lot of people have been concerned regarding digital services being shut down at the will of the publisher or whoever at any time with little to no ramification because the agreement states they can at any time. But like you said, it is a matter of opinion whether you've got your money's worth from whether it be a game or digital asset. Regardless, they have the ability to absolutely shut down services the minute after purchasing. I think Kyle's silence is an agree to disagree moment, but could be wrong :P .

[@Frashsibit]

That would make no sense, removing the XT would make it a lower end card, but the GRE is a higher end card from the 7800XT, if they do release a more wide version of the GRE they would probably call it the 7800XTX or 7900 non-XT
