Perhaps, but most people won’t even use it for quite a while. And AMD may not even do something similar. I don’t think people are going to become dependent on it any more than raytracing which I barely use even with my 5070 Ti.

Not true at all. Have you not seen all the NES emulators that apply anti-aliasing or other modern graphics techniques to old NES games? Completely changes the dev’s vision. You need to disable them.
Or you can just realize that modern devs are working with FSR/DLSS and tweaking it how they want. Just like they been doing with anti-aliasing. They can literally mask portions of the scene so DLSS 5 doesn’t apply to it.
Now, many games they showcased likely didn’t put much effort into tweaking their performance for DLSS 5 since it’s new and they didn’t get the chance, but newer games will use it. It’s not like raytracing and pathtracing just enhance whatever GPU driver devs want it to. The devs can control it.

Do you guys turn your graphics settings to lowest to make sure not to interfere with “artistic vision”? Or do you just literally no understand the technology at all? The dev can literally control the vectors for DLSS 5 and test it for themselves until it looks how they like. If you don’t like modifying frames, you should disable all post-processing shaders and most modern anti-aliasing too. Image

Your camera also runs at 4k 60 fps without a GPU. You’re already photorealistic. Are you really stupid or just pretending?

Downvoted for ruining the circlejerk AI hate without bothering to understand the technology.

Not even true. People would think it looks more realistic 10 years ago too.

The scene isn’t the exact same in the demo. Her shoulders aren’t in the same place and environment NPCs are different.

The devs can literally control the vectors used. They can even mask it to not apply to some things. Not sure how it calculates lighting though.

People with low grade hardware are pretty used to their games not looking as advertised.

Good for women who don’t want to give birth, but still half-raise kids. You get a break from the kids during joint custody with ex-wife.

It’s not factual. You’re just an idiot typing a single prompt, probably with no agentic loop or curated database to keep it on line. Then you get mad like a caveman wondering why sticks only give fire half the time because you’re not fucking understanding what you’re working with.

Not cancelled. But they may have been flagged internally, I don’t know.
We weren’t violating their terms, only violating their built in model guidelines.
But even adjusting prompts, it didn’t yield reliable results. So we have to use uncensored open weights models for many things. It’s not SOTA, but it’s better than nothing.

Government can certainly do illegal things. But why ever enter into a contract with ANY organization or business if you’re concerned that they can violate the terms?
-
Generally not.
-
Even if they aren’t, Anthropic started business with them months ago. Backing out now for this reason would be a pretense.

If your AI tools are wrong half the time, you’re using it wrong. My legal AI is linked to databases of statutes and case law, providing results more reliable than most legal professionals.
- Comment on "Cancel ChatGPT" movement goes mainstream after OpenAI closes deal with U.S. Department of War — as Anthropic refuses to surveil American citizens 4 weeks ago:
Why? I can’t think of any reason that would not also preclude their usage if all computer assisted tools.

Wait. You still trust human judgment?
My company has facilitated the filings of hundreds of pre se litigants who cannot afford lawyers, helped swamped public defenders with more cases than they could ever hope to defend without just making plea deals.
Meanwhile you probably sit around complaining about prison industrial complex and corrupt justice system. Doing nothing. Worthless.

This honestly strikes me as a story people don’t understand. Mass surveillance is not lawful and the government thus agreed not to do that. However, they still needed the guardrails removed. People interpret this as them wanting mass surveillance, but that’s not necessarily true.
I work for a company that uses AI for legal work, processing and analyzing court cases, discovery documents, etc. We had problems with AI models like Gemini and GPT refusing to do what we needed because of guardrails against violence and abuse of minors. It refused to discuss and analyze cases that involved murders described in detail, or cases involving child molestation, etc. We weren’t used it for unlawful purposes, very much the opposite.
I feel like if people knew that we, like the DoD, had to use uncensored models that allowed such things, people would complain “Wow, you guys are trying to remove guardrails for child porn and violence! How terrible!”
Is it so shocking that a military needs their AI to work with such things even if they’re not implementing it? They cannot afford to have AI in critical moments be like “sorry, my guidelines say I can’t help with this.”
This seems like the time Trump advised against pregnant women against using Tylenol. So people started buying and using it in protest. This is yet another reaction to Trump punishing them, but people are pretending Anthropic is making a stand for the people and OpenAI is somehow not. It’s not that simple.
- Comment on Epstein arrests: 0. Nancy Guthrie: still missing. The head of the FBI: 5 weeks ago:
Which of the Epstein files indicate a criminal offense requiring an arrest? I’ve seen so many of Epstein emails with comments like “WE NEED TO ARREST EVERYONE!” attached to a photo of Epstein with his goddaughter on his lap.
Like… Epstein was already arrested… and it does not appear he trafficked minors to anyone. Am I missing a key email somewhere?

Section 132 was recorded in 1843 and they were married in 1827. This is not a matter of interpretation. You’re just flat wrong.
By your logic, all sex in Christian marriages is rape. After all, they’re all taught the threats God made against fornicators, thus they’ve been groomed under duress into marriage.
You can go with that logic, and it’s not necessarily wrong. It just muddies what rape is into something meaningless.
- Comment on Praise Be 1 month ago:
I believe they were already married for many years before that. The threat of destruction was if she didn’t stay loyal to him in their marriage. She’s specially mentioned because she was consistently against polygamy, so this is more accurately described as intimidation to stay married. It’s a stretch to say it supports rape, no more than marriage itself is a social/legal pressure for those married to have sex with each other.

It’s very unlikely Joseph was in his 70s. Neither of their ages are mentioned. Common estimates for Mary are 13-14, and Joseph being in late teens or early 20s.
- Comment on Praise Be 1 month ago:
Instead of taking his virgin daughters, the mob wanted the men (angels). Pretty demoralizing for his daughters. Lot’s daughter may be the first recorded femcels, which would explain their desperate attempt at getting pregnant by their father.

She was pubescent, and thus irrelevant to pedophilia.
- Comment on Praise Be 1 month ago:
How do they support rape? Or do you consider it rape of I tell I woman she’ll go to hell if she doesn’t consent?
- Comment on Praise Be 1 month ago:
I don’t think the Bible talks about child brides. Without that, none of those are related to pedophilia…
- Comment on Self-hosting in 2025 isn't about privacy anymore - it's about building resistance infrastructure 2 months ago:
US police forces kill far more people than the overall homicide rate in Europe
How are you calculating this? Doesn’t seem right.
2024 was the worst year with 1,365 police killings in the US. That’s around 4 people for every million. Per capita this is a rate 8x that of France which I believe has the most police killings in Europe.
General European homicide rates vary on countries from 5 (Swiss) to 42 (Latvian) per million. It’s higher than the rate of police killings in the US.
However, the general homicide rate in the US is like 6x the European rate.
I only briefly checked the numbers, I hope I didn’t get anything wrong.

Trump meets with Putin and is nice to him: “Trump is Putin’s bitch, look at him!”
Mamdani meets with Trump and stands at his desk like an obedient puppy: “Wow, our hero really charmed him with his immense rizz! Trump’s a coward!”
Politics is so braindead. 😩
- Comment on After Today's meeting where Trump fell in love with Mamdani, this is MAGA tomorrow morning. 4 months ago:
I don’t know if this is some sort of joke, but that’s not an agreement. That’s Trump not wanting a convoluted political beating around the bush, which is what Mamdani was about to do. Such a response would feed the media, but just saying yes and Trump shrugging it off sabotages the media’s obvious attempt of pitting them against each other.

There’s no way you people would think she’s racist if she wasn’t transphobic.
She was very accepting of Hermione being cast as a black girl. Seaman was just used as comedic relief in the movies, much moreso than in the books, with his magical mistakes causing explosions being primarily when he was a kid. He was loyal and high achieving character.
Meanwhile, the blonde character who uses the offense slur “mudblood” is the childhood villain for most the books. Yet she is racist for this somehow too, I imagine.
