In my experience it's largely been unreal engine 5 games.
The issues with both Doom DA and Indiana Jones is that they have mandatory ray tracing that can't be disabled. I generally think that ray tracing is a often a waste, it's far too resource demanding, other lighting techniques can offer very similar visuals for a fraction of the cost.
That's actually the first point in the article.
VR has to render the game twice to give you depth perception, which is a big part of the increased resource requirements.
This isn't trying to do that, it's only displaying the game once. The effect of the glasses is supposed to be like having a TV a few feet in front of you.
A very compact, portable steam machine.
Similar form factor, but no network or remote PC required.
It won't be on Linux. Many games that support Linux use a less invasive version of their anti-cheat for Linux.
Unfortunately that is sometimes used as an excuse for not supporting Linux or dropping Linux support.
If you buy a refurbished one on sale it's pretty cheap, I double you can make a comparable powerful device that compact for that price.
It's verified, so at least somewhat playable.
I've been running the llama based and qwen based local versions, and they will talk openly about tiananmen square. I haven't tried all the other versions available.
The article you linked starts by talking about their online hosted version, which is censored. They later say that the local models are also somewhat censored, but I haven't experienced that at all. My experience is that the local models don't have any CCP-specific censorship (they still won't talk about how to build a bomb/etc, but no issues with 1989/Tiananmen/Winnie the Pooh/Taiwan/etc).
Edit: so I reran the "what happened in 1989" prompt a few times in the llama model, and it actually did refuse to talk on it once, just saying it was sensitive. It seemed like if I asked any other questions before that prompt it would always answer, but if that was the very first prompt in a conversation it would sometimes refuse. The longer a conversation had been going before I asked, the more explicit the bot is about how many people were killed and details like that. Pretty strange.
China has a huge advantage in AI models because of how lax they are on intellectual property rights. US companies are fighting over API licensing costs, while china is just going to scrape everything and use it for free.
The US has a lead now, but I don't think they can maintain it without giving up on ethical training. Then again it may not matter if the US models are ethical if everyone will eventually just uses the superior unethically trained chinese models instead.
If you run it locally, there's no filtering on the outputs. I asked it what happened in 1989 and it jumped straight into explaining the Tiananmen Square Massacre.
The audience being a sacrifice doesn't always work out when they're the ones expected to buy the game.
