Thread: I want to go over these two shots again, indulge me in a bit of pixel peeping. I think this is an illustrative example because it sets the question of faces aside; from a purely technical lighting fidelity standpoint, DLSS 5 makes this scene worse.

Hadn't seen the context that the devs involved with the games demoed were unaware of it. So it seems like Nvidia lied to them AND Digital Foundry, and everyone at GTC. That's so nuts. Now I'm wondering if even that Todd Howard quote was real or they lied to him too?

This goes for code too. How often do you start writing code thinking "oh I know how this should work" and then halfway through realize it doesn't and you have to adjust or refactor? There are dozens of textbooks about this process alone.

Damn, guess you could say the platform... didnt have legs

(onion headline) It Not Even 9AM And I've Already Seen Leon Kennedy's Penis Twice

This is so funny because he's crashing out yelling it's not post-processing, meanwhile Nvidia's own blog post announcing DLSS5 describes it as post-processing. I think the man only reads AI summaries of what his own business is doing.

Great read. I think it's also interesting to compare Marathon's satire to the more heavy-handed ones in the indie space like Luck Be A Landlord or Clover Pit. Marathon plays a bit more in the space of hustle culture (see the "escape will make me god" tagline) vs being trapped in poverty

Hey ice cream place what that mean

Subnautica devs v. Krafton ruling is ABSOLUTELY stunning. Start at the top of page 32 and read until the end of that section on page 37. Krafton CEO was warned by their legal personnel to not follow ChatGPT into what is likely Some Of The Dumbest Legal Shit Ever, CEO believed the plagiarism bot.

God I'm finally going to have to start that game tech blog, there's too many people Wrong Online

DLSS 5 off / DLSS 5 on

looks incredible

Hearing reports that DLSS 6 is going to make every character in every game look like a naked 14-year-old girl but don't worry, it's actually turning them all into ageless demons who have existed forever but _choose_ to look like naked 14-year-old girls.

Wikipedia's birthday logo overhwhelms me with an unbearable motherly instinct. Baby Globe i would do anything for you. i wouldn't dream of disabling you

So is Digital Foundry fully owned by Nvidia now? This looks like ass, uncritically calling it "next gen photorealistic lighting" is deeply unserious

Remember! It is only safe to pet Caesar if you go with the flow of his quills!

Search your camera roll for "hell"

It's impossible to find decent tech books on Amazon/Audible now. It's 99.9% AI slop, jesus christ i hope people aren't actually buying these

If you can go to GameStop and buy Game Informer, it stands to reason that I could go to WingStop and buy

But I thought it was revolutionary and they couldn't POSSIBLY use real people because they were just uwu small beans, what changed

Should I play Game A or Game B? My brain: Game C! (thinking which one I should play until I'm too mentally tired to play either one)

Really annoyed that coding is one thing AI skeptics will concede it's "good at" when they aren't coders. These things require so much handholding to not blow up. Yesterday I spent 3x as long getting Claude to write 35 lines of code than it would've taken me to do it in the first place. It's crap

we can't let the humanity of the internet die

The biggest change in software development is not AI code, but a permission structure for disregarding quality in the pursuit of velocity

Huh!

Digital Foundry doing barely-disclosed sponcon for Nvidia, we really can't have shit anymore huh

The story is woven throughout yet such a light touch, last night I connected two bits of lore that made me cry. It's still for all ages, but in my mind, this is the first actual "adult Pokémon game"

At least he didn't call it 2 AIs 1 Computer

I don't like AI but I leave Apple Intelligence on because - it uses small on-device models (good for privacy and energy) - it's stupid in a funny way - rarely accidentally useful - otherwise generally unobtrusive

Do you ever *feel* something enter your vocabulary

The amount of companies rushing to degrade their own product into "the thing we used to do well, but now via LLMs" without asking "why would someone use this version of our product instead of an LLM directly" is wild and should be studied

Funny for a CEO to imply that you yourself are not focused on execution

My new AI slop website will be undetectable! > does a Find & Replace for " — " with "; "

It used to be "hands-on with an imperfect prototype will let you see better what the final product should be" but now it's "make an MVP and ship it before the company's wheels fall off"

I was incredulously shouting "oh my goddd?" during this whole segment, the comic relief after the previous tense segment was off the charts

me at work later today pretending I didn't stay up way too late playing Pokopia

I already debunked this, it's not an ID verification. It's a parental control API that already exists on multiple operating systems. It doesn't apply to user accounts for adults, and the law doesn't even require users to use it.

How to win in November

apparently nobody thinking about you - not even actively disliking you - because you've failed to be relevant in over a decade is what "cancel culture" is now I guess
