this was my favorite litmus test because as a football fan who knows the players I recognized Virgil van Dijk in the original gameplay immediately, but I was like “who is this guy?” when I saw the DLSS5 re-face. my brain did not know who I was looking at and it made me confused.

My alabaster milk child Teuton keeps asking for ranch dressing at the caviar factory, it is most epic. The fishmongers despise him.

we are all somehow dreadfully cracked about the head, and sadly need mending.

great reporting here. basically yes DLSS 5 is running a gen AI model on the 2D output and nothing more. it doesn’t know anything about the 3D scene, textures / models / lighting / PBR other than what the model infers by looking at a frame. TL:DR, they sped up slop. youtu.be/D0EM1vKt36s?...

I dont think I posted these here, but these are some base expressions for Astrid, Finn and Lydia that I did for the team on S3. We found Astrid at first was getting a lil too 'old lady' like Tildy, visuals that show the range of expressions really help! not every person yells the same way. #art

PinkNews says it is moving "away from having a reporter-led newsroom" and there "isn’t a need for the reporter role.” Not sure what that could possibly look like, but ok

Your prophets were hallucinating the voice of god & having visions. Now, you send cops for those who hallucinate & have visions & incarcerate them in conditions of torture.

Hey. Hey guess what. Guess what day it is? It's our birthday, and the Vagina Museum is nine years old today. The world has changed massively in those nine years. We started out with a tweet... and now we're a vibrant community space, dedicated to education and celebration!

In an attention economy, the incentive is for hyperbolic posts, which creates a whipsaw-like discourse, as every response puffs itself up to match the attention seeking hyperbole of the original. No idea how to solve that, but the dynamic drives so much fraught discourse over such fluff.

Listen. Depeche Mode means “hurry up, fashion” in French. Can you think of any other artist whose name means the same thing? That’s right. Taylor Swift. Seems like a pretty funny coincidence but start connecting the dots, I don’t think that’s what we’re looking at.

The chart on @gasbuddy.bsky.social just climbs every single time I update it. National average gasoline prices just surpassed the highest 2023 prices.

Somehow missed this DLSS 5 comparison where they make an NPC into the old lady no one has wished happy birthday to on Facebook

billionaires bragging about being unintelligent is not what i was expecting if im totally honest

Genuinely, I ask you, cis folks: how are we supposed to live in society under laws like this? Where are we supposed to work, how are we meant to get groceries? If we can be arrested at any time for simply setting foot in a restroom, how do we exist in society? What would you do?

it's AI isn't it. SIGHH

It's not about whether one looks better to you, it's about the fact that the art directors and lighting artists dialed in a particular look, and this just blows it up, under the guise of "supersampling".

been feeling kinda stressed lately so I made a little prototype is this anything

the trans drivers license revocation in kansas is horrible, but it's the second-worst thing in the bill there's not been nearly enough focus on the bathroom bounty system: any private resident can sue me for $1000 if they can prove i made them uncomfortable in a bathroom

the dlss stuff makes the characters look like every single ai "trailer" on YouTube, or "ai music artist". idk how someone could think that looks good

i haven't fully formed this thought yet but the DLSS stuff is like....... why are they choosing to show us mostly female characters to impress upon us the way it "improves" visuals
