What do you think about a "SteamBSD" machine ?

The only person who knows about this stuff is shkhln
who wrote the linux-steam-utils

From his previous post about AI projects using his work i think highly unlikely he would want to be involved

I find it hard to believe that the only possible answers are highly technical ones. I think it is possible to discuss complex projects in a more casual way. As someone who isn't a programmer, I wouldn't be able to hold my own in a highly technical discussion—I freely admit I don't know how to program (in classical terms). However, I can engage in discussions involving low to medium technical complexity, and that is the kind of response I expect from you.

Not if I’m portrayed as a chatterbox who produces nothing.

Not if you (plural) urge me to show you something when I’ve already done so, but you (plural) ignore it.

You (plural) talk too much. I've already produced more useful and complex projects than you (plural) in your (plural) whole life.
 
I have never used Steam

im not a C programmer,
dont know anything about Kernel development or the graphics stack

If people dont know about a subject then they cant have a discussion about it

I can only tell you about the process i go though to create projects,
which involves reading all the documentation,
understand how everything work and then developing the logic to implement the idea.

shkhln is the only person who knows about this and you asked if he wanted to colloborate,
he didnt respond, so he doesnt

It seems you don't have a good imagination. I want stimulate you a little bit.
  1. From the screenshot, which elements indicate that FreeBSD is running as the host system while Debian is running as a guest inside QEMU?
  2. What is the difference between running Debian in QEMU with full CPU emulation and using QEMU with hardware acceleration through a hypervisor such as bhyve/vmm? How could you verify which mode is being used?
  3. Assuming the Debian VM needs to communicate both with the FreeBSD host and with the local network, which virtual networking configurations could be used, and what are the differences between NAT, bridge, and TAP?
  4. How could you determine, from inside the Debian VM, which devices are virtualized by QEMU and which devices, if any, have been assigned directly to the VM through PCI passthrough?
  5. If you wanted to make this VM configuration persistent, which QEMU configuration components would you need to save in addition to the disk image—for example CPU, RAM, PCI devices, networking, and firmware—in order to restart it later with the same virtual hardware setup?

Where did I urge you to show me anything? I'm really not interested in your tinkering with LLMs at all, and that's the whole point. Just stop pretending to be an artist, because this isn't art, and you're not even the one making it.

Sorry to hear that.

Ignoring the usual reddit mob...some guys there seemed to issue genuine warnings about feasibility of the project, tho
i.e. do you really, really want to spend huge amount of time and tokens on this? It is most likely a cluster F of undocumented HW quirks.

I'm not stupid. I will spend a small quantity of tokens to make some experimentation with a short list of games.

If you happen to think I consider myself as skilled as someone who spent years studying at university, you're mistaken. Obviously, delegating tasks you can't handle yourself isn't ideal. But don't forget, I'm a hobbyist. I try to complete the projects I want to do using the tools and the competence I have. I don't view myself as a programmer in the same league as those who studied for years at university—though, in a way, I suppose I am a kind of. After all—and perhaps you missed this—I’m not exactly a complete novice; I’ve been working with computers since I was 16 and have picked up some fundamentals along the way. On their own, those basics wouldn't have been enough to build complex projects. But today, we have LLMs, and I use them to fill in the gaps in my knowledge—and I manage to produce good results.

Famous last words :)

Given your background in psychology.
The only usable methodology I came across [researching for .mil PTSD regimen and personal curiosity], is the Internal Family/Parts Therapy/Systems (it has a lot of names).

TLDR: When you experience trauma, your Self splits and creates another persona, often stuck in the setting, including (im)maturity level, when it occurred. To manage them we create other personas etc. This was observed in control group (normal people) under MRI - study on heavy cases of split-personality. Goal of the therapy is to return the parts back in to Self aka regaining self-confidence aka Fear is the mind killer....to quote a classic.

Behavioral psychology I consider to be a mistake, especially given it's prevalence.
If men were the automatons that behaviorists claim they are, the behaviorist psychologists could not have invented the amazing nonsense called 'behaviorist psychology.'

Why I talk about it....one guy made the IFS almost (without Ai it is too complex/fuzzy) to an algorithm. He used to be sysadmin, I believe.
https://sfhelp.org/site/intro.htm

LLMs and agents could work with that and guide people through the process.

Might be more suited for your talents than working on distraction machine aka Steam gaming contraption.
But who am I to tell you what your heart desires...

I probably enjoy fixing broken operating systems or adding features to them—much like I would with someone's psyche. After all, there is an analogy between the hard hardware (the brain) and the electrical impulses that program the mind (firmware/software). So, in a sense, I like working on operating systems because I enjoy clinical psychology....when I was a child I have been a good videogames programmer...

Given the seemingly fractal nature of the universe, there is probably not much difference between meatware and siliconware.
Law is also a sort of programming. It has syntax, keywords and conditions etc.
But both of these disciplines - psychology and law - would benefit from a bit of UNIX philosophy. Or at least succumb themselves to scientific method - if the results are failing the hypothesis must be off. We have century of behavioral psychology and law has more pages than ever but we have more neurotic people and more scam (injustice) than in cave days.

In any case, there are already 100 games running on FreeBSD, so the SteamBSD machine is already ready... all that's missing is a machine with standardized hardware...that nobody would buy. So yes,this project could die here and now...

I'm not interested to treat people with mental health issues; I prefer fixing operating systems affected by bugs or misconfigurations :) ; sorry for you if you wanted to push me to stop using AI :P.
