Even if it could work that way, I don’t think it matters… They used a system with TWO 5090s in it, one to run the game normally, and the ENTIRE OTHER 5090 to run the dlss5 AI rendering bullshit over the top of it.

I, for one, am loving the “DLSS 5 Off/On” memes.
- Comment on What is your take on organ donation? 1 week ago:
I know it’s irrational, but there is a tiny voice in the back of my head going “what if the ancient Egyptians were right, and you’ll need your liver or eyes or whatever in the afterlife?” even though currently right now living and breathing I couldn’t tell you what my liver does for me other than I need it to stay living.

Jesus christ… A second top of the line GPU just to run the AI slop filter is one hell of a deluded announcement. I kinda feel bad now about all that hate Blizzard got for announcing a diablo mobile game.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash 1 week ago:
Wait, is that real? I thought the entire point of previous versions of DLSS was to get “better” performance out of “less” hardware? I had suspicions that running every frame through an AI image generator wasn’t going to be an improvement to performance, but that’s even worse than I was expecting.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 1 week ago:
Why do you assume it is only happening in public? Since it is hidden cameras, in glasses, they can be recording anywhere (and even if the user hasn’t asked them to record explicitly, they are probably sending data back to their servers anyway - we know they have been doing that with microphones for literal decades already).
- Comment on A sudden epiphany. 1 week ago:
Yea… This was the basis for my first existential crisis in my life… All through small town public school I was basically the smartest kid in the room (sometimes smartest person - we had some really bad teachers). Thought I was god’s gift of intelligence to humanity. Went out of town to a really good engineering school and holy shit I was immediately humbled. I was clawing my way to try to reach “average” and couldn’t quite reach.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
I was honestly asking, I constantly see artists and writers wishing AI didn’t exist because all it makes is garbage… But I also regularly see developers lashing out at AI hate, fighting tooth and nail to keep it and get more of it. That’s a really strange dichotomy to see “in the wild”.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 weeks ago:
AI is actively destroying the environment and harming people. Data centers have been caught using methane burner generators (which are banned for use by the EPA) which significantly increase health risk to residents that live nearby (cancer and asthma rates already significantly increased). Then you have the ridiculous effects it is having on computer hardware markets, energy and water infrastructure and prices.
Then after all of that, the AI themselves are hallucinating somewhere in the neighborhood of 25% of the time, and multiple studies have found that people that use them regularly are losing their own skills.
I can’t figure out why people would choose to use them. I can’t figure out why programming is the one place where people that might have otherwise been considered experts in the field are excited to use them. Writers, artists, lawyers, doctors, basically every other professional field that AI companies have suggested these would be good for, they get trashed by experts in the fields for making garbage. I have a hard time believing the only thing AI can do well is write code when it sucks so badly at everything else it does. Does development suck this much? Do developers have so little idea what they are doing that this seems like a good idea?

Ah, good point, it didn’t require source code release so much as self-hostability in some form.
- Comment on Highguard will permanently shut down on March 12th. 3 weeks ago:
I’m convinced it is some sort of insurance fraud a la The Producers. They found a way to make more money by flopping HARD than getting middling success, and flopping hard is a LOT LESS work. If their choice is A) spend a lot of money and time making a really good game that will capture the attention of the entire market; or B) spend a bit of money and time making something that looks convincingly like a real attempt at making a good game to some corpo-fuckwits at an insurance company and then nuke it hours after release… Well. Yea, they’ll do the second one.
- Comment on Highguard will permanently shut down on March 12th. 3 weeks ago:
That’s literally what the “stop killing games” movement was/is pushing for, at least in Europe. Really hope it goes somewhere, but it’s kind of stopped making noise lately (at least that I’m hearing), what with the US speed-running fascism more and more every single week.

- Comment on The script is mysterious and important. 4 weeks ago:
Yea, but isn’t a kind of big part of his brand that he is technically family friendly? Like he didn’t use bad language in his music and stuff, right? Django Unchained but rated PG-13 would have been an entirely different movie…
- Comment on The script is mysterious and important. 4 weeks ago:
2 things:
- I just recently learned that the “monsters” in I Am Legend were not zombies, they were vampires and they were supposed to be fully sentient… The movie adaptation missed the mark so much it is basically a completely different and unrecognizable story from the book.
- why is there a tag or something next to your name that says “Bot”? Is that supposed to be there? Is that something buggy happening in the front end I am using?

I’m absolutely flabbergasted that anyone walks anywhere without constantly scanning around them. How do people have the attention span to just look at where they are going and only where they are going??
- Comment on Is it rude to go through the car wash with a bunch of snow on your car? 4 weeks ago:
EDIT 2: I think I’m gonna go in and ask the workers today what they think.
Ya, you are rude. Don’t do that either. Just stop. Remove the snow before you leave the driveway. It is unsafe for you and everyone around you on the road. Also, in general, yes, making someone do extra work above and beyond what is being offered, at the same price, is a rude thing to do. By your description they “did a lot more work than usual” - did you pay them a lot more money than usual?
- Comment on Do we have No Man's Sky fans here? 3 months ago:
I liked it briefly, but it fell off for me. I feel like there needs to be an area to go to, or missions to pick up, or something that is a higher difficulty. I feel like a mid-range quality ship and weapon will do everything in the game without issue, and when you continue to get upgrades and suddenly everything the game has to throw at you poses so little of a challenge you could afk while being shot at with little issue… Well, it didn’t hold my attention anymore unfortunately. I really want to like it more than I do.
- Comment on why is fossil fuel still used? 3 months ago:
There are so many factors playing into this. Also, I don’t want you to think this post is suggesting we should give up on alternatives, because that is not my belief. We need to transition to something, and really we should have started this process much earlier. This is more to illustrate why it is a slow process.
- Energy density is unbeatable. Around 100 pounds of gasoline (15-ish gallons) will push most small road cars 300-400 miles. To get close to that range from an electric car you are going to need 1500-2000 lbs of batteries.
- Transportability. We have yet to really figure out how to get several thousand kilowatts of electricity from where it is easy to produce to where it is needed without losing a good percentage of it. You can fill a tank with Gasoline and haul it across the planet and lose basically none of it.
- Safety. Batteries can be very nasty things if damaged, the fires they can cause are astronomically harder to put out compared to traditional gasoline fires after a nasty car accident. Hydrogen is so much more violent in a fire/explosion than gasoline as well.
- Economics. Yes, Oil Companies have a huge grip on massive chunks of the world. MANY countries entire economies would collapse if fossil fuels were removed from the equation. And those countries are powerful, and scared, which is a dangerous combo. They are fighting tooth and nail to maintain their GDP as there is not a good replacement. It could be a civilization crumbling event if all money tied to fossil fuels just stopped in an instant.
Our habits need to drastically change as a society. Fossil Fuels are not the only problem we need to change, as an example, industrial farming is also pretty catastrophically bad for the environment (as we are currently doing it). We need to consume less (both power and stuff), we need to travel less, we need to eat less meat, and we need world governments on board for these changes in a meaningful and peaceful way. Or we need someone to invent a way for us all to survive the problem or reverse it without us changing a damn thing, but that sounds like magic.

- Comment on Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck? 4 months ago:
Do you not think a VPN will affect response time?? I implore you re-read the paper you keep referring to because they spell it out pretty basically what they are doing - and finding a person’s actual physical location behind a VPN is not it.
I am not claiming a VPN is a perfect or complete solution… The modern web has an absolute ton of ways to track you even through a VPN, but CPV isn’t it.
