Intel bets big against ChatGPT's OpenAI, invests heavily in Stability AI, makers of Stable Diffusion in c/[email protected]

[–] ramblinguy 14 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Didn't OpenAI start getting massive investments from Microsoft and then became ClosedAI?

Edit: Not that I necessarily think this will happen here. If anything, Stable Diffusion might run much better on ARC cards (or whatever their Neural Processing Unit becomes) and give a viable alternative to Nvidia

I had such hopium for diablo 4, but they just made the game worse with every patch. It was decently fun when it launched, but they introduced more tedium into everything each patch. Plus when the new season started and you had to do everything over again, it killed my enjoyment of the game

I tried buying something using crypto on Coin base back in the day. Signed up, transferred $100 into Eth, had to wait two or three days for Coinbase to do their due diligence or whatever, and then it was down 50% by the time I could use it. (I think China banned crypto or something?) I just pulled out my credit card and bought the item directly, and never touched crypto again

I always heard tips started as "To Insure Prompt Service" or something. Which is basically what you're doing here with Door dash, so we've gone back to the root of tips.

There's another threads too that my company used to use for internal posts (referenced in the article): https://threads.com/

Interesting that they managed to keep the .com name

Wow we're like the same person... Maybe I should give this lifetime Bumble a try

The Outer Worlds sells 5 million copies in c/games

[–] ramblinguy 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Honestly from someone who has a backlog of hundreds of games, this is probably a plus. Too many games nowadays have filler that don't add to the enjoyment of the game. Sometimes I might wish a game was longer, but longer in the areas I found enjoyable, not endless fetch quests
