  There‘s also the concept of swarm intelligence in that a lot of people can beat for example a chess grandmaster by democratically voting for each move. This isn‘t super consistent but it happens. Of course tech CEOs claim AI is exactly that but it isn‘t. It doesn‘t make choices like a thousand people in a chess match do. It just rolls a dice and then does some math.

  What I‘m trying to say is if 99% of potential costumers says it‘s crap, then it‘s a really really tough sell. To put it mildly. And the backlash from DLSS5 has been huge across the internet.

  For me the silver lining is that only devs who are absolute hacks and produce overpriced crap would use this. I don‘t buy their games now and I won‘t buy their slop tomorrow. Personally I don‘t think it will be hard to dodge this for a very, very long time. The hardware to run this is unaffordable and development cycles are huge. This tech could be retro before I have to actually start maneuvering around it.

  Data centers and wasting massive amounts of resources. Name a more iconic duo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta is having trouble with rogue AI agents⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  AI has no agency. It can‘t go rogue. It just does what it‘s made to do, not necessarily what it‘s supposed to do.

  Right? Todd couldn‘t make a decent game anymore, let alone a decent looking game if his life depended on it. It‘s no surprise he embraces slop. He‘s exactly the type of guy to believe the hype.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair who has two 5090s laying around to use this crap? This isn‘t so much a „generation behind“ thing and more of a „overpriced luxury toy for the top .01%“. There is no market for this. It‘s all smoke and mirrors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  „No, no! You‘re wrong because…“

  And then this charlatan goes on to explain why we‘re right. It‘s exhausting to listen to these gilded clowns.

  It will be cloud subscription based too but you will need a 6090 anyway. 🤑

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The chud tax. If they have to drop $15k to enjoy games then that‘s fine by me. LOL

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nvidia would probably tell you to let your two 5090s constantly run the tool so it can change the Steam storefront and every trailer on Youtube too! In fact let it change how you watch movies with DLSS6! Coming soon™️. I wish I was exaggerating but I can totally imagine them saying this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The absolute tone deafness of the AI industry man. Everything about this is terrible. From destroying artistic intent, over making everything look slop to being insanely resource hungry in this economy. There is everything to hate about this. The house of cards can‘t collapse soon enough.

  I was planning on starting a new world once 1.0 drops and was worried how big this update will be. This gives me some confidence. I really like what they have done so far and can‘t wait to see how they‘ll wrap it up.

  Oh I know a good one too! A tankie goes into a bar, does a little whataboutism.

  Seriously you people are in desperate need of new material. You won‘t win anyone over with „US bad too!“ We know, but it‘s off topic here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The RAM crisis could completely change how developers make video games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Could? Should. This is obvious. Only AAA execs don‘t realize it yet because they think cloud gaming will come to the rescue and be adapted on a major scale any minute. I am less optimistic. For AAA that is. This is the year of indie games… again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asset reuse in videogames is essential, and we need to embrace it, says Assassin's Creed and Far Cry director: 'We redo too much stuff'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Studios like Fromsoft are known for recycling assets to a very noticeable degree. It‘s just part of the game and another reason why AI makes so little sense in the creative world. Studios already have their asset libraries. They don‘t need to prompt something that already exists because they already have it. What they need are new ideas and AI is terrible at delivering that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Icky and heartbreaking': The $2 per hour worker behind the OnlyFans boom⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There was a media company in Switzerland that advertised chatrooms with your favorite influencers and many many german Influencers advertised it and told people how happy they would be just to have 1on1 chats with their fans.

  Of course it turned out it was a huge scam and even though a lot of the advertised influencers were female, the overwhelming majority of paid chatters from the media company were of course guys. Some of those chats got steamy too and the company briefed their staff to love bomb and exploit their customers as much as possible. They even went as far as to fake soft porn images of the influencers they officially worked with.

  There was a lot of drama, pointing fingers between influencers and the media company and legal prosecution. But most exploited fans will never see their money back or get damages for being systematically emotionally abused.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Icky and heartbreaking': The $2 per hour worker behind the OnlyFans boom⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This seems to be the business model of our times. It‘s only more obvious with OF but there are parallels to many booming industries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China approves launch of world first brain-computer interface device⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It‘s standard „China is 50 years ahead of us!!!“ type media coverage and a core part of Chinese propaganda. They always make these spectacular claims and by the time experts and peer reviews chime in to debunk it or at least express serious doubts there‘s already another wild technology breakthrough claim from China. They know it takes a magnitude of effort to debunk fake news so they‘re always faster than people who actually have to read through their often AI generated slop studies. Even when the tech is technically real it‘s usually blown out of proportions. Even when they accomplish impressive tasks they coat it in lies. That‘s just how Chinese propaganda operates. You have to doubt everything.

  Who owns the means of production that make industris more efficient? Bingo.

  I swear it‘s like people don‘t even know who or what Karl Marx is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon is determined to use AI for everything – even when it slows down work⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  All so they can sell AI produced goods on their AI driven platform to AI users because none of us will have jobs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study: AI autocomplete suggestions can nudge people's opinions - and they don't notice⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It‘s said you should be nice to secretaries because they hold a lot of soft power in an office. Now people give that kind of power over their lives to tech giants who already know way too much about them. This is bad for society. Full stop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instagram is getting rid of end-to-end encrypted DMs that ‘very few’ people used⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I‘m surprised they even had that. The average Instagram user probably doesn‘t even know what that means.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox's beta feature "Smart Window" shared browsing and search history to AI models without prompting⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Much like Adobe‘s Acrobat which I also have to use for work. At least from what I can tell when it suddenly summarizes a PDF. There‘s no way in hell that happens locally. But the fact that it seemingly automatically processes potentially sensitive data from customers didn‘t even do as little as raising eyebrows when I brought it up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Fiber will be sold to private equity firm and merge with cable company⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Meanwhile SpaceX spends billions launching thousands of satellites into space and wreck the environment just so people can doomscroll their slop. When all we need are governments building some basic infrastructure like fiber internet for a fraction of the money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC upgrade woes⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It gets worse. Companies like OpenAI ordered much more than they needed with money they don‘t have just so other companies couldn‘t order them. The world is just upside down every since they shot to gorilla.

  Finally! A use case for AI! Oh wait we already knew it‘s used in all sorts of scams and criminal activity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii says English translations inevitably strip away a lot of a game's "flavor"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not every work can be translated into other languages very well. That‘s just a problem with cultural differences. I think writers should keep that in mind when they work on a global IP. Know your audience and all that.

  Other times it really isn‘t as important as some writers may think. You don‘t need to know about Wukong to enjoy Dragon Ball for example. A lot of ideas are universal even if they don‘t sound as clever after being localized.

  You mean the most popular brand of all aka Bambu? I can‘t recommend them even if they don‘t snitch at you right away. The ecosystem they‘re setting up is bad for consumers as is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seagate just unleashed 44TB hard drives⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  At the end of the day they still want things to look flashy of course. They know they need a thumbnail to stick out. They don‘t value creative work because it‘s hard to measure and it‘s everywhere. So the question emerges „Oh, how hard can it be when it is everywhere?“ That sentiment is multiplied times 10 since image generation became a thing. The internet already looks like a soulless slop machine because creative work is undervalued but still needed everywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seagate just unleashed 44TB hard drives⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They probably have no one who can photoshop „44TB“ on a Hard Drive and don‘t think it‘s worth hiring someone on Fiverr to do it. Media designers, being the creatives that they are were always undervalued and among the first to lose their jobs to AI.
