Pack it up boys, it's done. No GPUs for PCs in a few years. Hope at least the chinese step up their game

    Fingers crossed all our current hardware survives long enough to hold us over. It'll be very interesting to see where this will eventually take the GPU market, who will pick up the slack, and how.

    Maybe it just means game companies will optimize their games to run well on existing hardware.

    It’s honestly might not be too bad of a thing.

    Basically people chase gpus for the best graphics, but look at some people who port games to different systems. There is a lot that can be done to optimize a game to run more efficiently.

    Companies just don’t want to put the effort in because it’s acceptable to just list a newer model gpu as a requirement for some games after a few years.

    True, the advances we're seeing with recomps is at least something of a silver lining over all this bullshit we've had to put up with recently

    I have a very small business. I’ve vibe coded apps for my business instead of paying companies subscription fees for their commercial version.

    Before everyone warns me that vibe coded software is garbage, I just want to point out that I’ve tested it.

    Additionally, how do you know the commercial software is not vibe coded now too?

    In fact, I’m sure it very much is in a large number of cases these days.

    Honestly I'm not a programmer but I'm wondering if we could actually see the "vibe coding" become a legitimate process for organizations that can review it effectively

    It absolutely could. Also keep in mind that we are still in the early days of AI. As these systems get better, there will be less and less a need for people to intervene.

    Last night, I noticed some bugs, but it was easy to have so fix it.

    I think an important skill people will need is to be able to test the vibe coded apps really well. There are random bugs here and there that I don’t find on my first couple times using it.

    For purposes my purposes, that’s not a problem. But I’ve never used bug free software before, so maybe it’s not really any worse than commercial software. At least I can have the ai fix the bugs that I encounter instead of waiting for the company to do it.
