Me too. AM4 platform. Just upgraded the CPU to a 5800X3D and will get a 5070 TI (maybe super?) soon. This old machine will out perform a PS6 and I can use it as a regular PC as well. The price difference (assuming I would have purchased a PS5/pro and will have purchased a PS6) is minimal especially if you consider (which you have) the higher quality gaming experience.

That's an interesting take and I can see things moving in that direction. The problem for the console makers is at that point, anyone can make a dumb box to stream with very cheap hardware.
That means the fight will be over exclusives. It's going to look like streaming services, huh? $15/mo for PS network, $15/mo for Xbox network... Yuck. At that point I'll stick to indie games locally on PC.

I'm starting to think consoles are cooked. The massive jumps in technology between console generations have turned into small incremental steps. The game quality has dropped (independent games and a few others are exceptions). PC's used to be slow to boot and load a game vs consoles and also required updates to download, but now PCs are quick and updates are mostly automatic. Consoles used to be nice to just turn on and play without thinking about all that other stuff, yet now they require downloads and updates as well. Loading times aren't much better either. Consoles used to also be very cheap compared to PCs, but now with the "next gen" being around $1000 the price difference isn't that huge anymore - especially when you factor in modular updates that can be done to a PC to cheaply extend it's life. One of the last hold outs for consoles were physical games and now they're taking that away too.

When I can't play a new game I want to play, I'll upgrade. This varies. My last computer i7 920 with a GTX 470 lasted me for a long time -- around 9 years. I have a Ryzen 2700x with a 3060TI that I built in 2018 and added the newer GPU in 2021. I'll probably upgrade next year so around 7-8 years. Before that I had a Pentium 4, Pentium 2, Pentium 1 so those are roughly 4 years between but progress was more impactful back then.
Averaging things out -- I'd say 6-7 years between major builds.

Ok that makes sense - thanks for the example. If done with a package could it function the same way (do everything) as if it were part of the OS? Are there any efficiency gains if AI is part of the OS? If not, it sounds like I'd always just want a package and never any AI built into the OS.

I see people commenting like it's always a bad idea to implement AI. I think it can be a very useful tool and running locally seems beneficial. Is there no right way to do this?

He's showing he's trying to be a real threat. Now they're sending in the military to scare Venezuela into a good deal for resources or else.
It won't work. Internally, Congress is already calling out the illegality of attacking the boats. Congress won't allow a war and has already figured this out enough to tell the military to not follow illegal orders. It's still a sticky situation, but Venezuela's best move is to warn people and wait it out.
