The general public on games development. Sometimes even game developers on games development outside their usual sphere/scale. None of us are immune to Dunning-Kruger.

That would be Germans in my experience.

That’s not the claim of the article though. Avellone is ragebaiting in a desperate attempt to stay relevant. It’s an absurd claim to make in context - especially from a game/narrative designer.

Cool but the narrative doesn’t have anything to do with technical expertise like Avellone is claiming. It was way more buggy than Fallout 3. and some of us are old enough to remember that.

Ah yes because F:NV was such a technical masterpiece. What a ragebait statement.

But if you’re even the slightest bit aware of statistics, near misses are exactly the same as complete misses. Seems strange that anyone educated falls for it. Desperation I can understand, especially these days when traditional ways of building wealth are almost as bad as just leaving cash under your mattress.

The most risk I ever take with my money is an indexed investment fund and even that feels a bit much at the moment.

Good instinct. Pirat_Nation is a grifter/ragebaiting account. No one should be giving him visibility.

They’ll be just like British Labour who are somehow even worse than the last Tory government was on trans issues.

I’ve played SM2 (single player) just fine with a 6950XT on Mint. Was it multiplayer that didn’t work?

- Comment on We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?' 1 month ago:
This guy is clearly speaking from a place of technical ignorance. It can’t do any of that because it’s a screen-space post-processing effect that only works on final pixel colours and motion vectors. It does not have depth, material, or lighting information. It is purely a generative AI filter and in the demo gets so much wrong with the lighting and material properties. There’s one scene from the Hogwarts game where it turns a cast-iron cauldron into flat ceramic or plastic. It makes up reflections that are effectively screen-space because it can’t „see“ detail off screen and overrides actual RT reflections with them. It’s bad for faces and bad for backgrounds.

They already have the RTX Remix stuff but it’s a manual process because at least back when that technology launched, people at NVIDIA realised it needed a lot of human intervention.

It was also a work in progress. This was just meant to be colour blocking before details were added.

A tech YouTuber ended up following up with Nvidia engineers directly and it’s exactly like I said. Not even the depth buffer is part of the inputs.
- Comment on Developers Were Left in the Dark About DLSS 5 1 month ago:
The inputs from everything Nvidia has said, are simply the final pixel colour values and motion vector information. It’s meant to sit in the same post-processing stack as the upscale. It’s effectively a screen-space post-processing filter over the final image. Nvidia have said that the artist controls are masking (blocking certain areas from it), intensity (so a slider value), and some kind of colour re-grading (since it destroys the original grading). It’s extremely limited.

Studio quality headphones tend to be a flat response curve, which is not what professional music producers master for - so no, that’s a poor argument.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash 1 month ago:
It’s a post-processing screen space effect. At that point, there’s zero control the game can have over the geometry. If the AI model wants to change it, it can. It fundamentally can’t only operate on lighting like the marketing claims, it can only make a hallucinating best-effort statistical guess at what the geometry in the final image should be.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash 1 month ago:
So this dumb fuck’s own marketing material has said this operates off final pixel colour and motion vectors (for temporal stability presumably) - that says to me that it’s not working with actual geometry info at all. It probably has a step to infer geometry but it’s still just a fancy Instagram filter working with limited data and an obviously ill-suited training set.

Have you talked to people who use LLMs regularly? They’ll acknowledge hallucinations but will downplay them as much as possible - saying they’re low frequency and they can support them, while telling you about how they’re using it in an area they’re unfamiliar with. Dunning Kruger strikes again.

If I saw this in The Met, which I’ve visited but this wasn’t on display at the time, it would have stopped me in my tracks even as a TTRPG player. It would feel very anachronistic amongst most of the displays.
