  • I have almost this exact mini PC. It was ok for things like StarCraft 2 and the Sims 4. I tried playing a newer game like Stormgate and it couldn’t keep up.

    I’ve since spent a bunch of money getting an eGPU set up, and have yet to have more than 5 gaming sessions in a row without a crash.

    I probably could have saved a lot of money if I’d just gotten a PC with some headroom for upgrading, but I really didn’t think I’d want to.










  • Agreed that ChatGPT has no motives.

    But the thing about these chatbots (as opposed to search engine or library) is that the responses will be in natural language. It won’t just spit out a list of instructions, it will assemble a natural language response that affirms your actions or choices, and sometimes include words that sound empathetic.

    I would imagine some of the generated replies would say something to the effect of:

    “It’s terribly sad that you’ve committed to ending your own life, but given the circumstances, it’s an understandable course of action. Here are some of the least painful ways to die:…”

    Are people looking for something to blame besides themselves? Absolutely. But I think the insidious thing here is that AI companies are absolutely trying to make chatbots a replacement for human connection.
