Thom, exceedingly pureValve exists in that weird superposition where I'm supposed to dislike them for their monopolistic power, shitty client, DRM, and just general fuck capitalism, but at the same time, they're the only thing standing between us and the end of PC gaming as we know it because they actually seem to give a gram of shit about us.
Like, how's an anti-corp dude supposed to feel, man?

MarcWith all these stupid Google AI screenshots... The problem isn't so much that LLMs aren't really AI, or that they're not accurate. The problem is the tech companies trying to line their pockets by selling you the *idea* that LLMs are AI and can be accurate and trusted to answer questions.
