Financial software is the last place I want fuzzy AI math. That shit needs to be rock-solid. Not that I use Intuit stuff anyway (Free Tax USA is my go-to), but damn must that be a scary sentence for people who use Intuit products (QuickBooks, TurboTax, Credit Karma).
That said, I think they are doing it mostly as a way to spin layoffs as a good thing, not something driven by poor financials (which is more likely).
How long ago did you try?! Have an example?
I expected it to get this one wrong and it did; I expected that as Hollywood portrays this wrong and people don't have an intuitive understanding of missile rocketry. Interceptor missiles only burn for a few seconds, get going very fast, then coast to their target. It is just flat wrong here.
I then fixed my grammar mistake and asked again, and poof, 100% opposite answer. I literally got the OPPOSITE ANSWER just because I fixed a grammar mistake. This fundamentally cannot be trusted for actual learning.
Anytime I ask it about things I'm knowledgeable about, it falls on it's face. It only seems smart on topics I don't know shit about (this red flag has spotlights on it!). Given this, I cannot trust it on anything lest I be led down false paths. Given how LLMs work, I don't see this problem as fixable.
I have found them useful for search term generation. (Using a topic I know things about) If I need a more powerful drill for screwing lag bolts into hardwood and I'm not finding what I need, asking it and and getting back the keyword 'impact driver' is helpful, as it lets me go search for what that is and if it is the solution to my need for a more powerful drill. Note: I do not let it teach me about impact drivers (as it falls on it's face all the fucking time), only use it to get the keyword to then use to search the internet.
To circle back to your question, I'm not scared with how fast they are advancing. I'm scared by how many people think they are good at everything and put them in places they don't belong.
Three-week-old fuel is brand new. I don't even fill up my car that often.
No issue here.
Every other platform is simply worse. The only one who even tries to be better is GOG, of which they do a good job for DRM free, which gets sales from me.
My question to you is: why would anybody buy something other than on those two platforms? There is not a single advantage to Epic's or Amazon's game store I can think of. They don't have good Linux support, they don't have a good review system, they don't have forums, they don't have mod delivery systems, they don't have any better sales, they don't have family sharing, they don't have in-home streaming.
Edit: And don't get me started on the Microsoft store....
Would like to see some confirmation, but this is probably the #1 thing I see people say is holding them back.
Revenue increasing by 1.6% is loosing to inflation...
That is one of the really nice things about the Steam Deck. It gives companies something to target. And once you have a Steam Deck app, well, you already have a Linux app, might as well release it as such.
The Steam Machine will do the same thing.
Yep. Intel sat on their asses for a decade pushing quad cores one has to pay extra to even overclock.
Then AMD implements chiplets, comes out with affordable 6, 8, 12, and 16 core desktop processors with unlocked multipliers, hyperthreading built into almost every model, and strong performance. All of this while also not sucking down power like Intel's chips still do.
Intel cached in their lead by not investing in themselves and instead pushing the same tired crap year after year onto consumers.
It was possible to skip Vista and go straight from XP to 7. You could even use the same PC.
It was possible to skip 8 and go straight from 7 to 10. You could even use the same PC.
This time around, Microsoft is forcing Windows 11 as the only option, forcing people to throw away their machines, and it is backfiring on them. People are rejecting it and the competition (Linux) has never been as good as it is today.
The executive also noted that 500 million PCs don't meet Windows 11's system requirements
So much unnecessary e-waste. I never want to hear about how 'green' or 'sustainable' Microsoft is again.
It makes sense to deprecate the 32-bit client. Win 10 32-bit was already pretty rare and any Linux distro has been 64-bit for the last decade.
That type of shit is exactly why my only interactions with Windows now is via work. A place I am pushing for more Linux in and have made some solid headway on. Just things like basic file operations are faster. A benefit I would have never known about had it not been for the constant, abusive nagging Windows does.
I had just assumed things like emptying your recycle bin of 50,000 log files is slow...no, only on Windows.
