[3:20:58] Outro.
Sorry about the delay, had a blackout due to maintenance that lasted to 3 PM. WAN Show started at 5 AM, so that should give some context as to how long it took (Advantages of having only instant noodles – nothing is ruined!)

Side note: donations are on my channel's about page.

I think Ai npcs will be great in open world games. But the story important characters should be voice acted for real. Also Ai commentary in sport games would be a game changer to get rid of repeated lines that ruin the immersion

Linus needs a hot take button that puts a warning on a banner 😂😂

Map hacking is still alive in StarCraft 2, unfortunately

@Luke and Linus

Linus you commented on hardening the team for current economic conditions.

I have not professionally experienced a spending cut anywhere other than staffing.

Your team released audio of a senior leader making comments at an all hands meeting about a former employee that disgusted me.

There are five things in that sentence I have not experienced in any of the toxic jobs I took as a younging.

I highly appreciate your team's work.

I can also understand why any brand targeting anyone outside your core demographic might be extremely careful aligning with your brand.

I really do appreciate your content, but as some one slightly outside your key demographic I hope you can understand why I now only religiously watch the WAN show.

That said, you have a 100m company. You clearly have excellent judgement. Please keep using it 😊

It's like people and corporations are trying to see just how much they can get away with rather than being afraid of the repurcussions

I think the only way for Twitch to get profitable is to add a charge for users to watch unsubscribed channels/month for say over 10hrs viewing (even a nominal $2.50 and regional adjustments) otherwise it will die eventually.

That ebay penalty of 3 Mil, considering it went right to the top of the company, should have had at least 1 more zero added to it. Probably 2.

2:18:24 "stock price" got me good.

At 2:47:50 ish when he's talking about meeting people u gotta keep in mind many of those awkward people also may view as something of an idol. Not obsessively but just the in the sense that they watch u almost everyday

I bleeping love the irreverence. Please never stop.

Can confirm the sheer volume of new games just fatigues me so much, I'll just keep playing older titles forever I guess xD

If it free to access to anyone with a browser and you don't copy it… What is the merit of alleging copyright abuse? Using text to train a neural network isn't copying and distributing. It is akin to learning or reading by a human. Though using a biased source like NYT is not exactly a great idea as it introduces a lot of bias on the system. Bad bias.

There is actually a case where you can force a company to sell there IP and have the court decide on payment, but this ain't it chief.

Wanted to chime in on the Bible comment during the segment in 1:45:20.
Many Christians misrepresent the meaning and signifcance behind the number and mark of Beast referred to in the book of Revelations. The Mark of the Beast being on the hands and forehead does not speak to anything concerning RFIDs (though you should think more carefully about what you put into your body), but is a callback to the foundation of Jewish faith, the Shema Israel, specifically Deut 6:6-8, where it is commanded to have God's commands "binded as symbols on your hands and to your foreheads", aka what you do and how you think.
Basically it is a warning that the world will force you to follow its commands and not God's, not anything about technology that the author would have known nothing about.

So OpenAI might have used their models to form their defense, but using copyrighted materials so their defense itself is suspect of being piracy of law materials lol

AI may be no different than youtube captions, thats scary AI cant differentiate truth or be excatly precise with words, refill or relate may be the word rifle while in translation as a analogy

Yall over here talking about 27" monitors and im over here thinking im gaming on An 85" TV maybe I'm doing something wrong

1:27:50–1:28:10 😂😂 i knew the games industry was strugglin' with 'blow' but I didn't I did know the situation was this dire😂 I'm just joking around don't shadow ban me daddy Linus 😅😂

Why are they pretending the streak is still going? There was no WAN show on the 18th August!

How about the fact that open AI isn't reproducing copywritten work so therefore the case needs thrown out

1:52:00 sounds more like Scientology
Is eBay a cult?

In regards to Windows Server and AM4 I HAVE an AM4 5950X Windows Server in deployment and its perfectly fine – just use the Windows 10/11 drivers.
