@preya Right?!

@preya Valve silently racking in all the Ws by being an apparently normal company that just *does* things. Absolutely mind boggling.

@macronaut@mas.to 2025-11-13 00:47
@preya Exactly! After a long while I am really excited about Steam Machine!

@preya - The shocking tech business strategy of "Sell people things they want".

@preya why would they? If they did I would cancel them immediately

@preya Completely serious here, there was nothing else (aside from the first Switch 2 Direct) that made me feel any sort of genuine happiness this year. Seeing Valve take it to the next level while clearly respecting their userbase is top tier respectable.

@preya Wowsers. The most convincingly decent thing a tech company has done in a decade. #valve

@preya @aeva thank you for highlighting this, I almost didn’t notice why I was so excited

@preya wooow! this is so unusual (normal in another way)

@preya I mean, they mentioned it's a PC and you can run every software on it that you want... So you can run AI on it 😅

@preya meanwhile xbox headquarter brainstorming for new xbox release. let AI run your game. no matter whether you are asleep or at work. let ai play this game for you while you can do more important things.

@preya I mean, they were all over AI 25 years ago (have you seen that cockroach AI???), they don't need to come back to it :p
-
@Kimota94@mas.to 2025-11-13 06:40
@preya Since AI produces slop, I propose we start referring to them as “slop machines.” It works because it makes them sound like “slot machines” and they have roughly the same probability of paying off.

@preya More companies should begin realizing that just because something has AI doesn’t mean people will buy it, because everything else already has AI. You don’t need a microwave with an AI chatbot on it if your phone comes with Gemini and your smart speaker has Alexa Plus. It’s good that Valve already comprehends both that and the need for more open hardware using Linux.

@preya and this

@tuftyindigo@meow.social 2025-11-13 09:32
@preya Because they don't have shareholders. Camera-based tracking is an AI feature, but they don't need to say that, because analysts at Gartner aren't gonna tell people to sell their Valve shares after poring over every word of the video.
-
@bart@floss.social 2025-11-13 09:53
@preya There is a wordplay joke on the product page which they translated into a different jokes in other languages. Which means they hired actual translators. That's also not a given this day and age. The fact that in the German translation the joke disappeared further proves this fact.

@blackknight95857669@social.linux.pizza 2025-11-13 13:37
@preya I don't "need" any of it but I'm still tempted by all of it simply because I want it all to succeed so hard the AI tech bros lose their fucking minds. I am actually interested in the Frame, TBH. Do have a PSVR2, but that's got shitty PC implementation, esp on Linux which is all I run, sooooo...

@reflex@retrogaming.social 2025-11-13 16:08
@preya Weird too given all the dirty shit they do as a company, but I guess AI won't go on the list.

@preya did they mention getting kids addicted to gambling?

@preya Plot twist: They silently changed the lowercase "L" in the name to a capital "i" (VaIve)...

@preya Computer games and the software supporting them are probably the activity and as an industry that have benefited ai the most. Not only because of the rapid GPU advancement, but also because of ai upscaling that make consoles like this steam machine viable, and also because it has never been easier to develop computer games because of ai - code and graphics. It's great that they left it in the background and focused on the product!

@preya@mastodon.social Oh shit we didn't even notice, but that explains why we were so weirdly excited about them lol

@syphist@zoner.work 2025-11-13 18:14
@preya@mastodon.social I do wonder of the Frame will use the Snapdragon's NPU though. If the eye tracking was done by a specialized ML model they could probably run it on the NPU silicon to save CPU time for the other things.
