@BrianCS_ Imo when it comes to updates like this they don't need to and shouldn't wait for someone to actively ask for it. There doesn't need to be anything wrong with the original system to change some things up. I like it, I think it's a really interesting change to try.

Who asked for this? Were there pros asking for reloading changes? This kind of update feel so insanely out of left field. Happy to see changes nontheless though, I do like seeing Valve be willing to do random shit like this

@NSTG17 Even if it did work I would think it's a really disgusting feature because my problem with it is the core concept, but when it just straight up doesn't? I really truly do not know who this is for.

@NSTG17 What I am most fascinated by is that I don't think it looks any more realistic. All of the comparison shots outside of faces look like a complete sidestep. It doesn't look any more realistic, just simply different. And faces just become complete slop.

For the last few years we have been moving a lot toward objectifying art more and more, and it is beyond disgraceful. GenAI represents everything wrong with consumerism as a whole, and I wish I could finally start seeing the end of the tunnel but I don't.

@nothingbruv_ In general I just stopped feeling like I need to share much about my life online, but I am not gone, just lurking simply lmao

@nothingbruv_ yoo, I do my things, care less about twitter, or at least try to. Finally out of the warehouse hell and actually got some consistent video game work, even if it's not the most well paid I am pretty happy with it. Some day I'm sure I'll be showing a lot of it very proudly.

I think @maximilian_ nailed generative AI right on the head

Art might be made for someone, and try to appeal to a certain audience, but it does not owe the audience to bend to their expectations.

@ZooL_Smith What if the plan is to make the 60 series so AI heavy, that it's only ""improvement"" will be DLSS 5? Games will start utilizing the feature, and GPUs will stop becoming any better in traditional rendering, only getting more AI cores and such

"Oh we didn't mention DLSS 5 only runs on 2 RTX 5090? Oh no, nobody can afford it?? But anyway, here's our service called Geforce Now which allows you to stream your games remotely from our massive datacenters for a small subscription fee" Don't tell me it isn't fucking obvious.

@sadasiankidd0 unfortunate

this is a catastrophe. StackOverflow provided data to LLMs, LLMs replaced StackOverflow, and now no new Q&A hub exists to provide fresh data. it’s a self-undermining causal loop, like mold growing on food, consuming it, and dying once the food is gone.

10 years ago if I needed to find an individual who provided a specific or niche service, I could just Google it and find someone's dopey little personal website and I'd give them a call. Now for every niche service there's 5 different aggregate websites with accompanying app I have to sign up for and log-in to and verify my e-mail with and receive a text code and fill out a 10 minute form about what I'm looking for specifically and I have to use their cursed little in-app chat to contact anyone and the demonic website/app ends up taking 25% commission every time I book someone and all the top matches are not individuals anyway but organizations where THEY have their own fucking system for soullessly matching me with one of their employees and they'll endlessly text me trying to convince me that they're the perfect fit for me if I'm looking for a DIFFERENT service I didn't ask for in the fucking 10 minute form THEY asked me to fill out! And all I get out of this whole tired ordeal is more spam in my inbox. Even if I find names of people I want to contact on these sinful websites and then I Google them to reach out personally I end up finding nothing but their 17 OTHER listings on competing aggregate apps and/or their linkedin which I have to fucking personally deliver a vial of my DNA to some OTHER data company in order to verify my identity to and I'm just... so over all this. I used to keep track of all of my log-ins and services I gave my personal data to and I simply cannot anymore. It's a deluge, a blight! I feel so stripped bare of my humanity and anytime I forget where I put my wallet when I'm leaving the house I think about how many hard drives in the world contain the supposedly private information I have so innocently and absentmindedly misplaced. My body, my mind, and my spirit were not built for this! The days where technology was a tool with which to create for and connect to other humans are slipping away from me! For every phone call that is answered by a machine and every simple tool or device or appliance that I have to "register" to my phone app I lose precious, beautiful seconds of my one and only fleeting life! For every pin number, code, and login I must retain in my mind, a wisp of my soul is displaced to make room! Humanity is so wonderful, so rich and so pure, it is no wonder that these things which lack it so desperately and aggressively try to steal it!

@sadasiankidd0 love it

Canopy?

This dumbass mfka said 2022

@mattworkman This is like saying food products shouldn't have their ingredients list. Consumers should have the information to decide if they want to buy something or not depending on its content. The only ppl afraid of this are the ones that know their product is low effort.

@sadasiankidd0 i have no idea what you are saying in the second part but the first point is more than enough to get my like

@fireworkzdotmp3 yo what the hell this is sick

self-searching 📀🔎🎚️

In watching the clip below of Danya's last stream and hearing the pain in his voice, how deeply the baseless accusations affected him, I am left so mad at what we all allowed to happen right in front of us. It's time to stop worrying about the backlash. I am calling on the FIDE EDC to remove Vladimir Kramnik from the FIDE record books, revoke his title, and disqualify his world championship. Chess is one of the most beloved games in the world and should be a place for kindness and inclusion. It should be unilaterally unacceptable to use a platform that Chess has given you to bully, harass, and slander a colleague. What Kramnik has done to David Navara, Hikaru, and Danya, and others can not be tolerated. It is up to our community and the governing body to set an example that this type of behavior will have consequences. Make it known loud and clear that Chess stands against these hateful acts. If you do them intentionally and maliciously there will be no place for you in our game. FIDE and it's EDC must establish clear policies moving forward around the safety of it's players both in person and digitally. The events leading up to this tragedy happened in broad daylight over the last 18 months. They could have been stopped. Nothing like this can ever be allowed to happen again.

retweet if you actually just fucking hate AI
