Best comment about this was from a video posted yesterday:
Yes because it makes people talk about that instead of their love affair with Palantir and their passionate support for Israel.
Whoever decided to showcase DLSS5 in it‘s current form is probably getting a raise and a nice bonus for this diversion.
All good, I can hate them for more than one thing!
GenAI is the ultimate demoware. Bro, it’ll get better. Just look how good it is now.
Just one more data center, bro! Promise!
What isn't? Everything is growing, decaying, or changing in some way, honestly.
AI is the most rushed to market product I think I've ever seen in my life. It makes Cyberpunk's release like like a polished gem in comparison. Yes, things evolve over their life cycle for better or worse, but none of this other things have been so ingrained in everything, cost even a fraction of LLMs, both monetarily and environmentally, it sucked as hard.
AI is a different monster. A shitty shitty monster.
The thing is, it's not rushed. 'AI' as in what we call LLM today exists for quite a few years now and is just a tool which is used for a lot of I'll fitting uses. Training also has its limits and it will not suddenly not hallucinate or get sentient.
Yet it was sold this way. It's the sunk cost fallacy, stupidity and the attempt to cut literally every corner. And it's failing hard.
It's because CEOs don't play cyberpunk, but they did try chatgpt and got an immediate boner thinking about all the people they could lay off.
More like they saw the potential to ruin most plebs' already limited abilities to figure out wtf is happening in the world, thought they would be too smart to fall for that shit, and decided they should open Pandora's box and sell it like it's Prometheus's fire
Unlock Pandora's box, though, a lot of the dumber applications of this stuff will go back in when the VC money dries up.
Can't tell if serious.
As microslop was constantly saying last year, LLMs and their ilk are a product in search of an application.
Every company is desperate to find anything these garbage machines can do well enough to validate the trillion or so dollars pumped into them.
Late edit: Also, Salesforce is literally mostly about barely functional tech with shiny demos. Thats why there is a consulting and customization industry worrth at least 10s if not 100s of billions that supports just their software.
But then Nvidia really does not need to. They sell hardware. They need to design new better hardware and make good drivers. But it's never enough, is it? It always has to be more, like cancer.
That's clearly the insane part, like okay it can be a bit helpful in this or that scenario, but they spent like every person on earth would want to pay 250 euros a month for it...
Well, if it isn't little Lisa Slopson! The tech bros answer to a QUESTION NO ONE ASKED!?
Nslopia
Demos are very often an example of in progress works or technology. That literally happens all the time.
Doesnt really matter IMO. If you have known bugs and flaws you dont showcase those, or if they are present in the showcase you atleast adress them and show what is to be expected upon release. NVIDIA just flat out didnt care. As soon as motion increases the artefacting is crazy. How do you even decide that this is remotely good enough for a demo?
Nvidia hears people like motion blur and AI slop so they put some AI slop in their motion blur.
Ugh. "Everyone is doing BLOOM, lets also do BLOOM but at +150% more!"
I remember that, motion blur came after and now I guess ai 😓
"Hallucinations" are an inherent part of the programming.
It is literally impossible to prevent them.
Okay but that is not what the person said or what the poster above quoted as being the best part. I'm not commenting on the overall performance I'm just saying that demos very often are exactly what that sentence implies they shouldn't be.
And yet, they chose to demo a broken technology with obvious bugs and flaws. The demos from tech companies are supposed to make people excited, not recoil in disgust.
This isn't some tiny company, either. It's fucking nVidia, who supposedly has the money to create a good demo.
