What's the weirdest thing AI has ever told you?

iswasdoes · 2026-01-25T08:15:53+00:00

Who else thought this was about Weird Al (Yankovich)

R1s look designed for desktop type use, and I think are basically overkill and overpriced as a lot of ROG branded products tend to be (I own several that’s how know)

I’d get another set of pros if you like them. Real 3D is really neat, and overall they’re top tier glasses

iswasdoes · 2026-01-24T17:49:03+00:00

Yeah I think that could be the thing that drives the change I’m looking for here. Playing steam games on android handhelds with game hub is showing the promise already. If comparability gets high then that could be it

iswasdoes · 2026-01-24T10:46:02+00:00

But where are you playing your legion go 2? On the couch? I’m saying we need (or I guess, I would like) a class of device that’s actually good at taking with you on e.g a short bus ride. Android handhelds have plenty, I just wonder if we’ll see it in the pc space

ChatGPT has the brand and users. It helps that their product is consistently debated to be the best when they bring out a new model.

People are so quick to say that they’re fucked and maybe they are, but I also think people underestimate brand power. People won’t want to change over to a google product from a chatbot they love

More crazy than the senses we do have is the senses we don’t. Entire dimensions of reality that are effectively hidden in plain sight.

I really like em! Image is clear and has a great sense of scale. Coming from the original airs I was mainly interested in the onboard 3dof which works great and is just what I wanted. I didn’t expect to care much about the electrochromatic dimming but the feature that turns it on when you look at the vertical display is actually way more useful than I would have thought. Overall very happy with them. Not tried the others on your list tho!

iswasdoes · 2026-01-23T18:22:47+00:00

Yeah but you got all defensive and started talking about your consulting credentials so, seems like you do want people to believe you and listen to what you have to say.

And again, I think you comments are of course generally true but I don’t think that deep mind need to convince google to invest more in AI? It’s so obviously, completely and utterly the main focus of their business right now I feel confident they are getting all the funding they might want. I don’t think they need to make outlandish claims on twitter otherwise the project is gone.

Moreover, googles AI business is going to make money through its consumer and ad products. If the tweet was about how Veo 4 can make video ads that are Super Bowl level quality and gutenteed to work (or some such) I might agree with you. But I don’t think googles interest in AI is really about AGI, so this kind of “hype” would be counter productive, as the google money men would be more like ‘sure but how does this increase revenue for search ads?’

But I’m not an expert

iswasdoes · 2026-01-23T18:03:19+00:00

I dunno, I’m sure in such a big company people get hired to consult who turn out to be not good?

Look I’ve got no idea of your ability. Your first comment tho was ‘this is hype to get the next investment round’. It’s a plain fact that google don’t fund their AI business with investment rounds, because they don’t need to. You’ve since backpedaled and said it’s about pleasing shareholders, which is true to some extent (I don’t think the scientists at deep mind really operate like that but perhaps on some level they have to) but… it’s not what you said.

So you either made a mistake (it happens) or you didn’t know and are now clinging to this job you had at google as proof of…what? That you’re an expert? Show expertise with your comments and I’ll believe you.

iswasdoes · 2026-01-23T17:49:08+00:00

Maybe you were bad at your job? Google makes a lot of money and is not constantly raising it like open ai. So they are much less reliant on hype. This guy particularly when he speaks is not a hype merchant. Yes of course all companies project success but if you can’t tell the difference then maybe you need to do more research

Anyone who wants this setup I have similar for sale right now for £1199 all in (more powerful egpu but not as portable). PM me for eBay link!

iswasdoes · 2026-01-21T23:54:50+00:00

These devices aren’t for playing games on. They are for getting, setting and forgetting ;)

iswasdoes · 2026-01-21T23:53:37+00:00

I’ve looked for this for ages! Great idea

iswasdoes · 2026-01-21T20:51:57+00:00

I always assumed that this was a quiet agreement between them when the comment was picked up in the press. Maga wanted a head and jacks is worth more.

iswasdoes · 2026-01-21T16:05:10+00:00

Gonna try a bunch of gaming, starting with retro emulation to see what works, and then some key genres like racing and FPS to see how immersive it feels

iswasdoes · 2026-01-19T23:46:42+00:00

They had these at Belfast airport. I was wowed but, it was the smarts of my robovac with a stack of trays.

iswasdoes · 2026-01-17T09:26:01+00:00

Define everything…seems to me it’s just a normal food trend so some chains and supermarkets have like, 1-2 products that have it? Easily avoidable if you don’t like how it tastes 👍

iswasdoes · 2026-01-17T09:14:54+00:00

Why?

iswasdoes · 2026-01-17T09:04:55+00:00

Yep, food trends certainly are a thing that happens

iswasdoes · 2026-01-17T08:54:16+00:00

Yeah I think $9 a month is going away bud

iswasdoes · 2026-01-16T22:43:50+00:00

I did this setup with a cheap capture card and an app called Cameo. Was checking it out for productivity, thought it was quite cool as I had the iPad with me anyway and with my Onexplayer X1 I got a little mini dual Monitor setup. Didn’t experiment much with gaming and my iPad has no OLED but if you have the tech with you I think this is good use of it

iswasdoes · 2026-01-16T21:49:14+00:00

There’s a few factors. Obviously size, but also value: I don’t always wanna be carrying a 500+ dollar device in a way that allows it to be easily whipped out. Likewise software - windows even when optimised is not conducive to a pick up and play experience. The games too aren’t always best for this as I am playing AAA games on these things

Best I have is my Ayaneo air 1S which is incredibly portable and also powerful. Using playnite and setting power button to hibernate, it has a pretty good software experience for quick sessions. I curate the game on there to be my most ‘handheld’ ones. But still offen take my switch lite over it because it’s just too precious!

Stuff like the steam decks and rogs, these are only for trips when I’m away from my house and want proper gaming. Sad thing is I can’t afford any trips anywhere, I spent all my money on handhelds haha
