I’m afraid I’d be unable to respond to all the questions since I can’t read!

DFW part of Texas, it’s mostly hot throughout the year. I let my thermostat get a bit warm when no one is home to save on energy cost there.
The winters here get cold, but not that bad and not for very long so the heater doesn’t need to be on that much. Usage does go down during those months. We peak around 1400 or so in the hottest months.
My usage is so consistent I happily took an energy plan that was more expensive unless my energy usage stays between 1000-2000 kwh, where they give a $100 usage credit.
- Comment on Servers go Brrrrrr 2 weeks ago:
That’s surprising. I live in an area with no gas connections, so everything is electric. We average a little over 1000kwh a month every month.
I do live in a hot place so we rely on air conditioning a lot, maybe that’s the difference.
- Comment on Servers go Brrrrrr 2 weeks ago:
Is this weekly or monthly? If monthly, where the hell are people using only 600 kwh a month?

After looking it up, assuming it’s a zaghrouta, I can understand that being a bit jarring during a quiet part of a set. It’s not exactly subtle and could easily sound like someone is mocking you in western context.

- Comment on Google's Gemini will make its way into Dragon Quest X to power a "Chatty Slimey" AI companion, Square Enix has announced 1 month ago:
Totally agree, but I think we’re talking ideal, perfect case here. The llm would need to be really tight so that the things you’re mentioning don’t happen.
Also, there’s simply not an unlimited amount of time and money when it comes to game development. You could write hundreds, even thousands of throwaway lines for minor interactions but that pales in comparison to those things being totally generated on context alone.

People on lemmy usually only ask questions in bad faith, especially when AI is involved in the subject, so I assumed that was the case.
I’m imagining a large RPG in the vein of the Elder Scrolls games where you can walk around a town and engage/be engaged by a random npc who would be capable of reacting to current circumstances fully dynamically. I think it would be fairly interesting if the npc could pick up on various things the player has done or is doing, their gear, or even various world events, and have a fully in character reaction to those things.
For example, Cyberpunk 2077 has some romance options, and you can have some text or in person interactions with the character you choose to romance, and some of the dialogur options do have things that reference recent events in the game. The problem is that there are just a few of those, and the responses they created are fairly generic. It would be pretty neat to see less canned and more dynamic responses and engagement with the character.
I acknowledge that those are pretty minor parts of a game and that LLMs are pretty expensive technology to achieve something very unimportant though. Plus, it would need extremely tight guard rails to ensure the responses stay universe and character oriented rather than whatever hallucination garbage an LLM might come up with.

Clearly you just don’t enjoy games for the same reason people who would like that do.

What’s sad is that games are probably the best use of LLMs. It would make it possible to have NPC idle chatter have a lot more possible responses.
Kind of expensive tech for just random characters yapping though, so we end up having it replace important things that need more attention than throwing it at AI.

If it’s as hard to run as it seems (current model took a dedicated 5090 to run it), then that would be foolish.

Clearly not bud.
You are basing your entire argument (pointed at nothing I ever said) to a bunch of speculative statements about a stage presentation of a beta of a product that isn’t won’t be realed for at least 6 months. Somehow you have managed to ignore the fact that not only are current GPU supplies limited, but many users have graphics cards that can’t even utilize the entire suite of DLSS4 features, but you then state that it won’t be possible to disable DLSS? Your entire bandwagoning stance is entirely based on shit you made up.
On top of that, nowhere have I claimed that an AI filter and mod changes are the same. Simply that they have a similar end result, of which we agree changes the original artists intent. Somehow you the think that the modder/mod installer has their own artistic intent that somehow matters but also that it’s different from someone toggling a feature on or off that results in visual changes. What if the user wants this effect? What if this effect was implemented as a mod? Your entire argument is flawed and it’s pointed against a stance I’m not even taking.
Furthermore, instead of making any sort of actual argument why I should care at all, you went straight to a personal attack. So no, you’re no a human, you’re an idiot.

- Comment on We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?' 1 month ago:
This seems completely irrelevant to my point. The problem isn’t that it’s against the developer’s artistic intentions, it’s that it looks like shit.
Who cares what the artist intended?

Weird, pedantic emphasis alert.
People have different tastes, and an equalizer is supplemental to both their tastes and individual audio setups. So would visually modifying a game to meet your own taste. Some people just like extra vibrance.

Okay, this is still possible. Just don’t turn it on.

I don’t think the second part of your first statement is correct. There are plenty of games that have modding support and that’s great, but there’s also plenty of types of mods that exist despite a lack of support.
Reshade works with most games, even some with anticheats, for example. To piggyback off your analogy, that’s like using an equalizer to accentuate the bass because that’s what you like the most in music.
Regardless, throwing an Ai filter on top of your game seems like something a modder would come up with (and has), but not in any serious capacity.

It’s astonishing to me that PC gamers are suddenly so focused on the “creative intent” of game visuals.
We’re talking about the crowd who shits on console players because they (usually) cannot install mods for their games. Gamers have been destroying the creative intent of the visuals in games for years with shader mods, changes to models and animations, and adding totally new, completely out of place things.
The DLSS5 examples look like shit, but let’s stop pretending we give a shit about the devs “creative intent” when talking about it.

Skill issue. If you pull the rice early enough and let it steam itself dry, it comes out as good or better than letting the rice just absorb the liquid.
It’s also way easier to make a huge batch of rice this way.
