“Between dealing with minority oppression, general uncertainty, and the rush to replace artists and those who pursued knowledge with machines, it feels like there is no future for me or my craft.”

Jesus...

Someone: Hey nvidia, make this look better!

Nvidia: i got this bro!

When a product's most promosing feature is you can turn it off, you might have a problem.

I'm just gonna copy & paste my comment from another thread on the topic:

They don’t care. Nobody thinks this is a meaningful announcement, it’s just another pretense to justify AI as Nvidia and much of the entire US economy are so deeply sunken-cost invested in the “future AI ecosystem” that they just need any headlines to keep the machine churning. That’s what this is. Doesn’t mean it isn’t real and gamers won’t have to suffer with it, but no point of this is actually to make anyone’s gaming experience better in any way.

My thoughts on this corpulent technology can be summed up by some brilliant thinkers.

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage—to move in the opposite direction." – E.F. Schumacher

"The cheapest, fastest, and most reliable components of a computer system are those that aren't there." – Gordon Bell

"Keep it simple. A simple solution has elegance. It is the result of an exacting effort to understand the real problem and is recognized by its compelling sense of rightness. I stress this point because it contradicts the conventional view that power increases with complexity. Simplicity provides confidence, reliability, compactness, and speed." – Charles Moore

Well, according Nvidia, they're all wrong, so who are you going to believe?

What bothers me the most (besides the general AI slop thing) is that this shit changes the style of games. And imo better graphics alsmost never make a game better. I mean if the graphic is actually better…

I just want my games to be fun. Without 2x 5090's.
