"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Another desperate attempt to get consumers to embrace their shitty solutions to problems that do not exist.
Nvidia's stock price barely reacted. I think we did it boys and girls. The bubble has started to collapse.
I don't see the stock price not moving as evidence of the bubble collapsing.
In Q4 2025 only 5.5% of NVidia's revenue came from gaming products. That's revenue not profit, their other products have better margins than gaming. Also Nvidia already has 95% marketshare in gaming gpu's. So for them to grow more, they would have to increase the number of people gaming on PC or get into desktop cpu's or get a bunch of people paying a subscription for access to more profitable cloud services gpus.
Really I just see the stock price not reacting as an acknowledgement that nvidia and nvidia shareholders don't care at all about desktop gpu's. It's a vestigial appendage to what is now an AI hardware and networking company.
I think its just waiting. It will hang out here for a while and then become even more ridiculous because Nvidia is the only one making money so far.
Important to note with this technology advance - game developers have full, detailed artistic control over DLSS 5's effects... includes things like intensity, color grading and masking off places where the effect shouldn't be applied.
So they can mess with the gain or turn it off. Definitely sounds like full creative control. What a joke.
Their video showing off Hogwarts Legacy 😂
That game already looked like it contained AI generated bullshit before they announced DLSS5, let alone how blurry their implementation of DLSS is.
So basically they want everything, real or not, to have that AI sheen to it. Ugh.
If everything looks kinda like AI slop, then you won't object to the full slop.
I think the ultimate goal is to destroy art in general because it has always been a majour driving factor for progressive social change (at least since the Renaissance), because art is about critically reflecting on our society and our environment.
I've got news for them. all they're doing is removing the monetary viability of art, which actually works against them and their current tax evasion practices.
progressive art doesn't need a buyer, or a gallery. progressive art only needs an audience, and when everyone is jobless and destitute there will be a large captive audience that is sympathetic to progressive art and its message.
Yeah, I also think this attempt will ultimately fail. They probably think it could work, but these people are not known for being particularly smart.
It could still divert some people from the right "path" (learning to appreciate good art though), which makes me a bit sad.
You are right on the money. I'm 90% sure YouTube has been applying postprocessing to give videos an AI sheen as well. If they could all stop, that would be great. Half these games look worse than 5 years ago. The other half look good, but have an unsettling vibe. As for YT, videos of real people don't need to be AI-ified
They have. Artists noticed it months ago when their art got fucked. Lines got oddly smeared, combined, etc. Lines they’d spent hours meticulously placing.
There was an outcry but not much more than that sadly.
Upset they didn't show one of these AI models getting blown through the head like all of them will when the games are played. It's gonna look like LiveLeak, and then parents will push for violent video game regulations, since it's illegal to regulate ai apparently.
Then we can all play Hello Kitty Island Adventure AI Edition! /s
Careful with what you wish for...
In the future there will just be one game Slop. It can be whatever you want so long as you don't violate any copyright laws. The ChatGPT of games.
And you're absolutely right, it'll be a subscription
Happy Tree Friends: The Game?
Thanks I needed the laugh. That bluesky thread is gold.
I expected this to be something like that hair fx stuff that you try when you buy a new card, realize is costing 20 fps with no visible benefit, turn it off and forget it ever existed.
Can we go back to developing ray casting instead?
Ray casting on what? Those new GPUs are spoken for already.
