Reminder that Sam Altman is not just happy that most regular people cannot afford RAM anymore,
He is gloating about it and want even less regular people to have access to RAM.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says it’s “quite terrible” that people have so much DRAM sitting in their own PCs instead of being used in data centers.
“Everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer. And be used 5% of the time,”
He argues that cloud data centers should make better use of limited memory supplies instead of people running AI models locally.
Look, Switch 2 emulation should’ve been developed behind the scenes with no announcement until after the console was off market. Emulation isn’t illegal, the issue I have is people emulating consoles currently on the market. You’re doing it wrong by saying “eMulAtIoN iS iLlEgAl”.

Reports of cheating are lower in MW4 because BO7 had Open Matchmaking. When bad players encounter good players, they don't understand the killcam and falsely report.
Strict SBMM in MW4 is protecting the bad players from skill they don't understand, suppressing false reports.
MW4 WEEK ONE
Modern Warfare 4's first week is behind us, and #TeamRICOCHET has been working around the clock to protect your matches.
Early signals are encouraging. Reports of suspected cheating are trending lower compared with last year's launch, fewer primary cheat vendors are active, and our response times remain strong.
New launch protections, including Server Culling, DMA detections and stronger hardware enforcement, have been working together since Day One to make cheating harder across Multiplayer and DMZ.

Good and bad players both pay $70 to play Call of Duty. The catch? The good players are forced to have a less enjoyable experience so that the bad players will play longer.
Good players are PUNISHED for other people’s lack of skill.

How did we go from…
Call of Duty 2009:
- Lobbies stayed together
- Party chat was the game
- Host migration was the only SBMM
- Maps lasted 15 years
Call of Duty 2026:
- New lobby every match
- Silent
- Rigged matchmaking
- Maps forgotten by Christmas
What changed?

i had a 5.41 KD in Black Ops 1 because i was the campiest sniper of all time
Since then i’ve easily held a 2 KD in every Call of Duty mainly quickscoping and shotgunning
Nowadays SBMM is so insane that the literal BEST Players in the world can’t hold a 1.3 KD. That is nuts

when I was new to COD I watched YT gameplays from people like xJawz, FearCrads and TheMarkOfJ - all of which had at least a 5kd - and even though I was a shitter at the time, seeing these people shred lobbies and knowing it was possible made me want to get better at the game and I sank in an insane amount of hours to do so.
what does an account that is played on by some of the best players in the world collectively averaging a 1.27kd tell people? That there is no point improving at the game.
Call of Duty with its current SBMM implementation in casual playlists has to be one of the only games out there where getting better at the game makes your experience worse.

BREAKING:🚨Since the announcement that referee David Smith would be on the call again for the Vols matchup this week vs the bye week, the spread has moved an unprecedented 37 points in favor of the bye week.
Only an absolute moron would be using emulators for consoles currently on the market…
Fake PS5 emulators on GitHub are spreading password-stealing malware.
Security researchers found fake PS5 emulator projects, including KyttyPS5 and AnyPS5, that are actually being used to distribute malware.
The malware can:
>Add exclusions to Microsoft Defender to avoid detection
>Steal saved passwords and other sensitive information
>Delete its own files to hide what it did
>Use fake or lookalike GitHub repositories to appear legitimate
The researchers warn that emulator fans are being targeted because they’re more likely to download and run unofficial software.
Yeah, we’re supposed to say idly by and just say “this is the new norm”. While the player count keeps dwindling more and more because of this crap. Call of Duty as a franchise could die tomorrow and it would be a good thing. (Let the devs put their time in fixing the old games.)

We are now on a multi-day continued crash out.
Maybe if you spent half the time you spend talking about Valve working on your own platform, you could be better than them rather than just talking about it.
Exactly this. Valve has held gaming back for years by locking developers’ PC games into Steamworks’ social walled garden where players can’t talk to other players on iOS, Android, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, or even other PC stores.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
You can use Steam Datagram Relay (and its servers) on any platform as long as your title ships on Steam.

This wasn’t the same Sucker Punch that made those games…

SBMM genuinely is ruining the new COD. Fucking miserable experience. GGs IW you completed your goals once more by making an absolutely unbearable MP.
Nothing quite like watching the Chiefs unbeaten dream go up in smoke. Chiefs fans can cry “rigged” all they want, but y’all losing is a W to the entire NFL. So do us all a favor, and hold this L. #KCvsSEA
