  • What do you expect? Half of these decision makers are complete idiots that are just good at making money and think that that means they are smarter than anyone who makes less than them. They then see some new hyped up tech, they chat with ChatGPT and they are dump enough to be floored by it’s “intelligence” and now they think it can replace workers but since it’s still early, they assume that it will quickly surpass the workers. So in their mind, firing ten programmers and saving like two million a year, while only spending maybe a few tens of thousands a year on AI will be a crazy success that will show how smart they are. And as time goes on and the AI gets better, they will save even more money. So why spend more money to help the programmers improve, when you can just fire them and spend a fraction of it on AI?












  • IMO it feels like the Steam Deck was built with 3 goals in mind:

    • Longevity
    • Playability
    • UX

    And the competition feels more like

    • Specs
    • Gimmicks

    Like, sure, better gpu and cpu and ram is great, but it’s kind of shit if the battery barely lasts or tge performance is worse because of lack of compatibility with Windows or the repairability is shit you need to buy a new device if it falls.

    Ironicly it reminds me a bit of early android vs iphone. Where Iphone was built with real ingenuity and leading the market, while android was this mess of companies trying everything to “out compete” Apple. The irony being that tge steam deck is the open and inclusive one unlike the iphone.
