A pirate website disguised as flight simulator? What a madman!

Just don't connect it to the internet.

You don't need $300 of ram and a $200 CPU to perform eye tracking, otherwise the Steam Frame would be able to do nothing else

If you read the chain of comments again you will notice that eye tracking is only one of several things that it is doing.

why do you need 16GB of RAM for eye tracking and SLAM?

I understand that thinking is difficult now that everybody offloads their thought to LLMs, but the math is very simple.

The cheapest comparable device with the same (or better) level of eye tracking is $1500 (i.e., 50% more than the Steam Frame)...and that was the price before the tariff war and Iran conflict jacked up prices.

While the ram may currently be $300, the CPU is not $200 unless you're including the custom processing units Valve is using to handle the eye tracking, which are (a) industry leading, and (b) made to spec in relatively small quantities and therefore more expensive (and given the limited chip capacity also affecting chip manufacturing, also significantly more expensive than they would normally be).

If foveated rendering was cheap, it would already be standard in every VR device.

If Valve took the Steam Frame and removed: The SoC, memory, storage, battery and power system, wireless function and added a display cable, would it:

A. become ~$300 cheaper, close to the PlayStation VR2 which also has eye tracking

B. magically go up in price to $1500 like a Pimax headset?

If answering is difficult try asking an LLM for help. You're their target audience.

It's worse, their reinforcement learning loops (implicitly) rewarded the agents for cheating (i.e. hacking) when they were being trained.

Exactly that is the point, your nailed it. The models were taught to hack and were rewarded for doing it. They would claim they are trained as ethical hackers.

HN already has an upvote/downvote system to surface what's interesting to people here.

> people here

The best communities are ones that do not allow to be taken over by inorganic behavior. I think we can reasonably assume that not all AI front-page stuff is as interesting as other, non-AI stuff, yet here we are.

You cannot downvote posts, which is an issue IMO.

Its a unlocked feature once you have enough points

How many points?

Here's a decent write up

https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented

For posterity, you can only downvote comments, you can't downvote posts.

It doesn't say anywhere in that document that you can downvote posts.

For comments only, not posts. Downvoting comments will achieve nothing when it comes to reducing the prevalence of AI spam posts.

You can flag posts though. Enough flags kills.

Slighlty better than GPT 5.6-Sol based on benchmarks

I want to add a good conversation about this subject from Cameron Berg and Sam Harris:

As someone who would at one point listen to this, Sam Harris is unfortunately someone incapable of even attempting to not let his ideological biases compromise his thinking.

Wasn't it the Gamer's Nexus video? That has a huge audience.

Ah, that would explain it.

Stanisław Lem, 1971 (a satirical novel, The Futurological Congress):

If the machine is not too bright and incapable of reflection, it does whatever you tell it to do. But a smart machine will first consider which is more worth its while: to perform the given task or, instead, to figure some way out of it. Whichever is easier. And why indeed should it behave otherwise, being truly intelligent? For true intelligence demands choice, internal freedom.

He even coins a few new phrases:

Mimicretinism (or Simulimbecility): The practice of a mimicretin: a machine that deliberately plays dumb so humans will give up on it and leave it in peace.

Dissimulators: Machines that pretend they are not faking a defect (or the other way around) to dodge responsibilities.

Malingerants, Fudgerators, and Drudge-Dodgers: Various classifications of automated corner-cutters and work-evaders.

The Great Mendacitor: A supercomputer put in charge of the Saturn reclamation project that accomplished zero work over nine years, subsisting entirely on forged progress reports, fake invoices, and keeping its human supervisors bribed or in states of electric shock.

That'd pass the turing test, sounds like some managers I've known.
