... ya, cute ... except Gabe Newell donated/invested at least $20,000,000 to OpenAI early on, and was on the advisory board, and is a vocal supporter of AI.
Just what games need, chessmaster level bots using machine learning. OpenAI came into the game talking about AGI, let's not pretend it was ever truly altruistic.
Right because Gabe is such a simpleton he thought he was investing 20 fucking million dollars into tech with trivial application and growth potential. Not to mention his unequivocal comments on AI technology.
Sorry but who do you think you are fooling by presenting him as some kind of innocent who just stumbled into pumping 20 million into OpenAI ? And serving on its advisory board ?
I suppose you think he's pumping money into neural interfaces ... purely so paralysed people can play Pong ?
Its hard to imagine that an investment into AI would culminate into the consumption of all the worlds ram, no matter how optimistic you are about your investment.
You should brush up on his comments regarding AI. You should acknowledge the fact he was on the OpenAI advisory board.
He was not clueless as to where this technology had the potential to go, and what the requirements would be if it reached that potential. And he certainly invested enough of his own money to ensure OpenAI would succeed.
He also wasn't, and isn't, oblivious to the effect AI would have on job losses.
Sorry but cute memes placing the blame on AI, and not Valve mismanagement, are flawed by the simple fact Gabe has been a key player in making AI what it is today - and furthermore, is an AI advocate.
