Look at this beauty! The paint job is actually really well done.
Looking forward to seeing what's going on inside here. I gather the synth mod was never finished.
Now @Raspberry_Pi has its own @Mastodon instance, and because we’re committed to supporting platforms that support us, we’re putting our money where our mouth is. We have become a platinum sponsor of #Mastodon. In case you don't know Mastodon is a non-profit corporation based in Germany supported by both its sponsors and patreons. #TwitterMigration https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors
If you assume that half of my 32k Twitter followers are dead accounts / bots etc, that means in a week of Mastodon, I've managed to attract roughly 6% of my Twitter followers
Which, you know, really isn't terrible!
If I could somehow keep this up, I could have 1/4 of my Twitter following on Mastodon within a month. Which would be pretty mega / make it well worth sticking around here
@gpowerf I love these types of posts. And I fully believe freedom in where wr gsme and when is of utmost importance. Even more important than immersive graphics. Gaming should be like reading a book - that level of portability.

@gpowerf rip stadia 😓👋
Love the idea that @Raspberry_Pi account is hosted on its own instance running on a Raspberry Pi.
Currently writing a blog post about the new
@Raspberry_Pi instance we spun up last night. I'm taking about why, as a company, we're doing it. What it means, and (the fun bit) how we did it. Because it's running on a Pi in the Sky☁️ on a #RaspberryPi 4 with #IPv6 only networking hosted at @beasts. We're part of the #TwitterMigration, and taking a step back, the social and technical bits of that are actually sort of fascinating

One thing I am very interested in is how AI language models will be incorporated into gaming and our everyday life.
Will an NPC become so believable that people will perceive it as a friend? What are the moral implications of these? Are there any?
If we do get a Tesla bot-type home helper in the future and it is connected to a language model that makes it likeable to humans how will people treat it? Will it feel like a member of the family? Treated like a slave? Will this alter how people treat humans? What happens when you cannot tell the difference anymore between who is human and who isn't? etc, etc, etc...

This is my fun social media account, I will post a lot of video game stuff (mostly old or cloud gaming) and some work stuff.
If I post an image with no Alt text it is because the image is just there for decoration and doesn't provide any extra meaning to the toot.
