"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Stadia failed because it had huge issues with latency and video compression. Nvidia and Xbox are doing the same now and they do have people actually using it. The whole strategy from Microsoft is building a subscription gaming empire, both in software and hardware.
Stadia also had people, question is whether it becomes the majority.
They can and do drm their way to subscribing to the game content but still letting the end devices run the game. Cheaper for them compared to hosting, so long as they assure themselves that games can't be cracked offline, but for multiplayer games they further control the online aspects.
