You might think that this is clearly a joke. That no one would actually do this. But you don’t know how the people at the other keyboards are going to take it. Case in point.

This is the best one. Well I feel like any game I could turn the corner and find a Stargate and it wouldn’t really be that out of place 😂

Honestly feel like this works 😂

Yeah I’m excited about it. Dubious and skeptical, but excited too.

I’ll always remember you Ralph. Though, I can’t even remember what I had for dinner last night. I wonder what I should have for dinner tonight…

Oh shit Demon Slayer x The Ascent. I’m imagining Ghostrunner but you fight 'borged out demons

This is hilarious, I thought it was just me 😂

So, Timmy, what games you playing?

Honestly, people generally have more compute power than they need. If this proverbial platform came with an efficient transcoder, then the files just need to be hosted.
The torrenting scene is alive and well with users fronting the cost and taking legal risks. Many torrents have enough speed to actually stream the content while it’s downloading. Hard to say now… But if somebody set up a solid peer-to-peer solution, I think it has a chance.

I think this is super interesting, and a really good idea. But as others have stated in this thread, very costly.

However until technology catches up, maybe we could have an interstitial federated platform. One that’s super decentralized. Like 90% of the users running their own instance, decentralized. Anyone with a NAS can host they’re own vids. Then the other 10% that are willing to host high bandwidth, high capacity servers, can work as caching for the most popular videos.

It’s a great and rewarding hobby! But having cloud connected devices on the same network as your sensitive information is an issue.

Use a vLAN and IoT devices capable of local control. Use a self hosted hub like Home Assistant. Keep devices that collect sensitive information (like a camera) out of sensitive areas (like the bedroom). Then you should be reasonably secure.

I think this is something that’s easier said than done. Maybe at our current level, but as these AI get more advanced… What is truth? Sure mathematics seems like an easy target until we consider one of the best use cases for AI could be theory. An AI could have a fresh take on our interpretation of mathematics, where these base level assumptions would actually be a hindrance.

So, if we put AI in an echo chamber it gets dumber? Wow it really does think like humans.
