What if, LLMs have reached the stage of diminishing returns ?? https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/evidence-that-llms-are-reaching-a

Google has done stuff with AI such as deepmind/alpha zero that work in a closed environment with clear rules. However I am deeply skeptical of this LLM stuff, if it requires additional (manual) step to verify the output

LLM is useful for summarizing the contents of any one website However to synthesize contents across multiple websites, there should be a weighting algorithm (like google used to have number of links metric for traditional search) I don't have knowledge in this area, but I hope there is a...

This feels like a bad mis-step from google Strangely, they don't seem to care at all that they have trashed the USP of their cash cow

When mistakes cropped up in Google’s very first demo of Bard in February 2023, shares of Alphabet dropped 7%, wiping $100 billion off the company’s value. On Friday, as more social posts of its latest gaffes went viral, they opened up almost 1%. Wall Street doesn’t seem to care. Does Google...

Why Google is (probably) stuck giving out AI answers that may or may not be right Is Google going to have to backtrack on this? No, says Google, which argues that the dumb answers it has been generating are few and far between. And that most people don't know or care about search answers that...

Apparently this has now been tested (& proved to work): Google AI said to put glue in pizza so I made a pizza with glue and ate it https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/google-ai-said-to-put-glue-in-pizza-so-i-made-a-pizza-with-glue-and-ate-it/articleshow/110406679.cms

A speculative blog analysis from last year What if Generative AI turned out to be a Dud? Some possible economic and geopolitical implications Microsoft, up for the year by nearly half, perhaps largely on the promise of generative AI, might see a stock slump; NVIDIA skyrocketing even more...

Valve is on track to sell more consoles than Microsoft Already Microsoft lead on average daily sales has shrunk to less than 50% Eventually Microsoft might give up making xbox & instead open up xbox OS to allow installation of Steam

Windows Central's Jez Corden calls the next move by Microsoft to break Sony's PlayStation exclusivity on games. Bring Steam to the next Xbox(es) He expects Microsoft to release an Xbox OS that can be used by other PC partners to build their own version of the console (Phil Spencer had already...

The tariffs add a 25% duty on graphics cards, motherboards, and desktop PC cases. Over the past year, the US Trade Representative (USTR) has delayed restoring the Trump-era tariffs, which added a 25% duty on affected Chinese goods. The goal was to gather feedback from the industry and consider...

I am with the AI on this. Cheese is supposed to melt. If you want it to stick then adding (non-toxic) glue is a fair answer Maybe the Ai should have just said pass to weird questions without a proper answer but otherwise nothing wrong in this case

This is fake (a meme & not real)

Google scrambles to manually remove weird AI answers in search The company confirmed it is ‘taking swift action’ to remove some of the AI tool’s bizarre responses. Google spokesperson Meghann Farnsworth said in an email to The Verge that the company is “taking swift action” to remove AI...

"AI optimists argue that we should embrace the hype because of the rapid progress made so far, trusting that it will continue to improve. I really do believe that this technology will continue to get better, but focusing on an idealized future where these technologies are flawless ignores the...

My guess is that RDNA 4 was supposed to have software based crossfire for the top chips but didn't work out. So it had to be scrapped So AMD is now working on incorporating it in RDNA 5. Remember in ATI days there used to be the x990 cards Check the Active Interposer Dies (AIDs) in the linked...

The tech companies are spending so much heat & energy on GPU driven LLM models but the tech is not ready for primetime yet There are so many screenshots floating around but I have no way to confirm if those are fake or real. I saw a screenshot where the AI summarized pineapple on pizza as the...

Atari vanquishes its most ancient foe by acquiring Intellivision, declares end to 'the longest-running console war in history' The concept of a "console war" didn't really exist, but the competition was real. Mattel had been working on the Intellivision (the name is a portmanteau of...

A hypothetical question: What if the smaller chip (Navi 44) is between 7600xt & 7700xt (matching 4060 ti on raster & RT) & the larger chip (Navi 48) is closer to the 7900 GRE rather than 7900 XT in raster (basically a 4070 ti) Then AMD can do a really funny thing. They can launch the navi 44...

Nvidia cuts China prices in Huawei chip fight major stumbling block to the success of Nvidia's H20 chip in China has been a directive by Beijing for companies to buy Chinese chips, although two of the three sources said those orders had eased in recent months. The H20 became widely available...

Apparently game time (the demand side) is limited and its mostly taken up by old games such as fortnite/roblox, so rest of the gaming industry (the supply side) has to adjust to it This is the reason Square Enix is trying to increase the addressable area of the market by ditching PlayStation...

Looks like the 6700 xt/6750 xt have run out of stock now. But the 6800 is down to almost $350 That is a pretty good deal for a 16gb card which can max out 1080p gaming or even play 4K low This is probably the best value 16GB card that you can buy in the budget range in the next few years

If you are buying a GPU now, then let it be the 16GB 6800 says MLID XFX SPEEDSTER SWFT319 AMD Radeon RX 6800 CORE Gaming Graphics Card for $355 in NewEgg https://www.newegg.com/xfx-radeon-rx-6800-rx-68xlaqfde/p/N82E16814150886?Item=N82E16814150886 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_qlPl58qcY

astonishing demonstration of Unreal Engine 5's core technologies: Hellblade 2 is one of the Unreal Engine 5 games to ship that takes full advantage of everything the engine has to offer to produce visuals that feel like a genuine leap forward. This isn't the first shipping game to use these...

Hellblade 2 is a story-driven experience more than what one might think of as a typical game, let alone a triple-A juggernaut. This is evident in how input is handled - there are many scenes where you push up, watch an animation play out, then push up again when that animation is finished. In...

Any idea when the 2 AMD chips will launch RoCM updates confirm that there are two: Navi 44 & Navi 48 https://github.com/ROCm/clr/blob/943fddc1a678508bd3e629b8e7b67c3e4a04e46d/opencl/tests/ocltst/module/runtime/OCLDeviceQueries.cpp#L122

Anti-lag+ is back as Anti-lag 2. Now it has to be integrated on a per game basis by individual developers based on sdk provided by AMD https://community.amd.com/t5/gaming/amd-radeon-anti-lag-2-technical-preview-now-available-in-counter/ba-p/686012

Rumours of max 32 cores per CCD of zen 6 https://www.techpowerup.com/322694/amd-zen-6-to-cram-up-to-32-cpu-cores-per-ccd?cp=2#comments

Agreed. What I meant when I said it is 'free' is that if you have subscribed for game pass due to other reasons (ex. To play Call of Duty) then this game is complementary or free. That is the marginal cost is free, if you are already subscribed to game pass (assuming you see a value in that...

It is free, if you have gamepass. But if you are spending $50 then it is too short a game for that

I lost count of the takes Windows NT for ARM Windows Mobile 6 Windows Phone 7 Windows Phone 8 Windows Phone 10 All those Surface devices (Windows 8, 10, 11 etc.) on ARM (including the current versions where they have completely removed X86 this time in a bold move)

MacBook Air offers about 16% less video playback time than the new Surface Laptop. Is this because of new processing node or dropping of unnecessary backward compatibility & i/o features ?? https://signal65.com/newsurfacelaptop/

I played Hellblade II on Xbox Series S without headphones and on a high-end gaming PC with headphones. The game is stunning in both formats, though of course the details and lighting looked a bit crisper on PC. Whether on console or PC, I encourage every Hellblade II player to wear headphones...

There is not a single scene of this game that didn’t take my breath away, from the dark forests and the muddy roads to the snowy mountain trails and the endless, claustrophobic caverns. The puzzles and combat failing to blow me away might seem like something of a dealbreaker in a game where...
