SteamOS is a Linux distribution so you can install any Linux distribution (ubuntu, fedora, mint, …) and use proton. I would recommend that instead of SteamOS since it might be less stable. Check https://www.protondb.com/ for compatibility with games.

It will play alongside us, maybe future npcs will seem as real as another player. This is both exciting and terrifying haha but sites like .io games where already using AI to make servers seemed there were more players than what really was there.

I think the problem with all of this is not telling the player. If I know I’m playing with bots it’s fine since I can choose but don’t deceive me saying they are humans, that should be (or maybe is?) illegal.

First of all, as long as it doesn’t replace search I’m fine with more options, I don’t like when a company forces me stuff, that’s it. I just think this is pointing to a future where search disappears and I don’t quite like that.

You might dislike a direct answer but young people don’t. The design of the applications can encourage certain types of behaviors, can spread misinformation and promote racism as we have seen in many social media now.

Things like Instagram and TikTok stress me out by the speed they show content and I could conclude no one will use those but then you see the new generations and how they even listen to music there, just the chorus of a song and go to the next one. This way of consuming information is being promoted by how the apps are designed; it is no coincidence that depression is increasing among young people.

You can say that in principle people can use more responsibly this types of social media, but that’s not the reality when we have algorithms trying to maximize the time we spend on the phone. Also, how do you know that companies don’t add biases to LLMs? Turns out Gorg (the LLM on twitter) they have added to the prompt to not criticize Elon or Trump. That’s the current problems of LLMs is that we don’t have context and even if there is context, if you have to put effort into it people won’t do it. This happens to scientific articles where people never check the sources, imagine with other stuff…

I honestly like LLMs and I think they are fascinating and very useful in a lot of situations! And efforts like Perplexity gives me a bit more faith than google just throwing an LLM that suggests to eat rocks. And while you might see that eating rocks shouldn’t be done, there’s this bias that can be build behind any LLM that affects in a way that will be hard to avoid or notice. Same way current algorithms affects us more than we think they do and polarizes opinions.

I mean will see where this goes, I just want companies to take the matter seriously.

I think it’s simply that getting a direct answer is easier than reading different forums with different views and come up with your idea. That doesn’t mean people want google search to stop searching. We have gemini, if I want to use gemini I can go to gemini. I don’t get why everything has to be AI. We can have multiple tools, not everything out there is a nail.

Mixing science and click bait is the worst… You could say gravitational lensing was detected thanks to “AI” or machine learning algorithms that removed the noise and so on but it wasn’t that fancy that time, the important part was the science and now it seems the important part is to put AI in whatever place you can.
