I hate email or SMS 2FA. But 2FA codes are awesome (and passkeys)

Good on you! US is kinda going down a bad path sadly. Although big tech has had way too much influence there for a while

Unless there are actual major efficiency innovations. But yes, current LLMs are sold cheaper than what they cost

This comparison is really lacking, just like the NFT one of the other commenter.

I would say AI has a lot more usecases compared to a monkey picture URL on the blockchain

No matter how much your distaste for it is, the cat is out the bag. You can refuse it but other people will keep using it

Thats why I’m actually at least for now hoping for the FOSS Chinese Frontier labs to make the breakthroughs since many of them still share research and open weight models

I dont prefer to be so pessimistic about the future. I don’t believe the EU will break down or fail as a project even if times are rough

If the EU at least has the option to regulate them directly on EU soil that will already be a big step forward.

But image how many jobs this could create!! 🤯

I would say this statement is false but just because its not really a secret

I actually had the alvr bin aur installed on my old destop machine. Its just the only proper way for me on Quest to properly play any PCVR games. But i haven’t used nor updated that one in a while. My new arch machine luckily doesn’t have this installed but now im freaking out

You wouldn’t get this advanced technology

Legit first time looking at the picture i thought this was a googly eye

Valve could also just stop allowing people to turn the gift card money back into real cash. It would be trivial to implement this with a bit of goodwill. But i get your point

But there will always be some form of gift card. if not steam gift card people will buy apple or google play cards. Its a sad thing going of with the scamming but honestly a physical gift card still beats a print out of an email on a piece of paper.

No I think this is an awful move. Digital Gift Cards will still be available. And I think for gifting its actually really nice to still have.

I dont use or like Brave that much but its definitely not Malware. This is how we lose normies. They use google chrome or whatever and infighting tells them “look this significantly more private product is awful”. We kinda gotta stop doing that. That had some scretchy incidents with referral links but their BAT thing is like whatever. You dont have to use it. Their defaults are much more private then all the other mainstream chromium browsers. And it Open Source. I also think their development for their search engine has been interesting.

Lets see if Brave will hold. Im gonna keep sticking to Firefox tho

Yes, that is very reasonable and has been the standard in most developed nations for a while now outside the US. Although in the US it would quickly be decried as “communism” or whatever (ignoring the fact the US healthcare system is the most expensive in the world)
