The PS5 system itself is running on pc

[u/3nnb]

Recently, we have seen massive developments in PS5 emulators (such as shadPS4 and Kyty), and how rapidly they have progressed in a short period.

​Now, developers have successfully booted the actual PS5 system software on PC.

​If this momentum continues in the future, it will eventually allow players to run PS5 exclusives directly on PC, marking the end of the era of console exclusivity.

I’m not a coder so take it as an idiot speaking, but from the outside looking in it’s like the boyfriend being scared of the vibrator. You should be ally’s not enemies.

[u/Suuldam → u/DogWithaFAL]

That's mostly it, but with a vibrator that knows your habits and will vibrate to your liking automatically. But sometimes it will also try to enter the wrong hole, and that's where you shine, preventing backdoor usage.

Upvoted for such a poetic description.

😂

[u/cannibalcat → u/Suuldam]

I would change the last line with "sometimes it will also try to hit you violently" 

be more inclusive, a lot of people actually like the backdoor

[u/Chudpaladin → u/Suuldam]

The vibrator is no better than me SMH

The double entendre on back door is chef's kiss.

But they are trying to replace coders with AI Agents.

A good coder understands that its just a tool line any other

[u/SpacePumpkie → u/mugiwara_no_Soissie]

A good human being understands that the real problem is how the companies are managing the shit and closing access and charging an entry fee to what always has been publicly accesible information. Heck, even all the research on LLMs and GPTs was done publicly mainly in tandem with university researchers until OpenAI closed it off because they saw profit and kicked off the race in private (but not after having taken advantage of what everyone else was doing out in the open).

All this tech should be one hundred percent open sourced because the models were taken from the open research community, the knowledge for training was taken from the open internet and all previous created works, and now they charge for access and don't give anything back to humanity's pool of knowledge. Instead they're trying to keep it gated and charge for access to it. After having taken all they could for free (and illegally).

Open weight models are available. The only barrier to entry is the cost of hardware

[u/SpacePumpkie → u/No_Brother1599]

The open weight models are nowhere near the level of the closed ones. And the cost of the hardware is currently astronomical due to these companies' antics. The hardware needed to run a proper non-quant model is close to 10k currently anyway.

[u/XavinNydek → u/SpacePumpkie]

Open weight models are a few months behind, but a year or two ago we started reaching the point where the models were good enough for various tasks so it's not that big a deal. Even in the frontier models the emphasis is switching from better performance to better efficiency.

The no sign the improvements in hardware or model efficiency are slowing down, so In a few more years pretty much everyone will be able to run coding models, image gen, etc on their local machines/phones. The subscription models will be relegated to enterprise environments with management and compliance requirements unless they come up with some other always online hooks that the open models and tools can't easily do (or if they get cheap enough that it's just easier).

[u/SpacePumpkie → u/XavinNydek]

I hope you're right. I don't share your optimism currently and I despise the way these companies are being able to do whatever they want. But I hope you're right.

[u/No_Brother1599 → u/SpacePumpkie]

Indeed, the industry appears to be quite disgusting.

[u/PhaserFister → u/SpacePumpkie]

That's not really true anymore (level disparity).

[u/BoopinSnoots24-7 → u/SpacePumpkie]

They're not charging an entry fee to the information. The information is public. What they're charging for is their models, which are so far removed from the initial public research on LLMs that is like comparing a Ford Model T to a modern day Ferrari.

AI companies charging you to use their product makes perfect sense. The only economic problem is them not sharing revenue with those who created the data they train on.

Even then, it's not that straightforward. If you post your art on Instagram, Meta owns that data. If you post on Reddit, Reddit owns that data. If AI labs were to compensate their sources, the vast majority of that would go towards private companies who you willingly already provide your data/work to.

There is no precedent for this level of scope, and it doesn't seem like there is really a feasible approach yet to compensating individuals. I do hope they figure it out soon.

[u/Frisnfruitig → u/mugiwara_no_Soissie]

For now...

[u/RedditAdmnsSkDk → u/mugiwara_no_Soissie]

as long as it's not foreign controlled yes, otherwise it most definitely isn't "just a tool like any other"

[u/mugiwara_no_Soissie → u/RedditAdmnsSkDk]

I mean so is google itself lol. Plenty of countries dont have access to the google or socials that we do. And plenty of stuff is already being censored/enshittified. Like I do agree with you totally but this is the just an AI issue, more a general issue in modern society.

Hell, I use Tor just bc I despise the way google handles their shit

[u/RedditAdmnsSkDk → u/mugiwara_no_Soissie]

well, it's also not "just a tool like any other" in the aspect of copyright (or much more copyleft when it comes to software)

it's a very problematic "tool" and reducing it to be "just like all the others" is not cool at all, especially if you are aware of some of the issue (as you seem to be)

[u/xaxis-yaxis → u/DogWithaFAL]

This is actually entirely meaningless when the entire junior/grad market has basically been annihilated over the last few years.

There's a fraction of jobs at that level compared to 5 years ago. Coders aren't so scared of AI in that they don't know how to use it, they're better than basically everyone else at it, but because companies are cutting jobs for AI.

You can't be a software engineer if there's not enough jobs for software engineers.

[u/MDParagon → u/DogWithaFAL]

lmao that is a brilliant analogy

[u/oneanotheruser → u/DogWithaFAL]

Imagine a carpenter that enjoys working with wood and spent all his life mastering his craft. Then someone invents a machine that does all the carpenting autimatically.

Sure it makes mistakes. Not many people care. And working without the machine is not reallly legible anymore because it's that much more fast. Now your job as a carpenter is to talk to a machine so that it makes something instead of you.

Sure some people will say it's just a tool that they will now use instead. But I personally don't see myself being a programmer in the era of AI. For me vibecoding feels as much different from coding as dancing. And I don't really see myself in any other profession that isn't being consumed by AI.

[u/BoxOfDemons → u/oneanotheruser]

It's more akin to if you're a carpenter, and you still plan and draw out the build, mark every nail spot, and the tool just hammers the nails for you. At least with actual competent coders using AI.

[u/ukiyoe → u/DogWithaFAL]

Good vibes only.
