Yep, The Island and Altered Carbon (also an excellent TV series) were the first two works of sci-fi that came to mind, but Altered Carbon is a much closer match where the clones were brainless vs. The Island (if I say any more it'd be a major spoiler for sure, even mentioning that it contains the concept is a bit of a spoiler).
Probably humanoid robots, it's already happening in China:
A bunch of stock-trading bots and quick-fingered suits probably just flinched and dumped a couple hundred billion into ARM stock though. See also: the company formerly known as Long Island Iced Tea.
BTW it turns out that DLSS5 isn't working with any texture properties/layers or geometry meshes, it's taking finished frames with motion data and hitting it with a slop filter, which is why it adds hair to one side of a guy's head where it wasn't before and makes a nostril look oddly huge when a shadow makes it hard to see where it ends:
The AI data centers mostly run on natural gas burned in on-site turbines, this could hasten the AI bubble popping.
Or build more solar + wind with storage so that we could almost be powered by moonbeams and unicorn farts and not have to wait decades for a nuclear plant to finish construction or pretend that producing a little more oil locally would meaningfully affect global prices.
Please don't, Microsoft, you're enabling a golden age of Linux adoption! Win11 needs more slop, THE INVESTORS COMMAND YOU!
If it's cranking up the bump/AO maps to the point where it appears to any layman, or even a person with texture modding experience such as myself, that the characters are getting face-swapped with AI-inspired replacements, wouldn't you say that's too aggressive an enhancement and should be dialed back massively?
I'm pretty sure the legal definition of treason in the US is something about giving aid and comfort to an enemy in war and doesn't include defying the constitution.
Their mistake is that they think letting a Chinese commercial app spy on them will cause that info to be kept to the Chinese government rather than sold on the open market where the US government can get it too.
Sure and we'll solve all labor issues by just having people quit jobs with bad working conditions, solve car safety by having people just not buy cars that aren't safe enough in crashes, water safety by having everyone boil and filter their own water, and food safety by having everyone conduct their own restaurant inspections. All people have the resources and education to take part in these highly practical and efficient solutions.
How would you make it impossible? I was thinking that outlawing closed-source software would be a good first step, but that's relying on laws again...
Why do you think it just changes the lighting? Have you seen the demo? It's changing features including on people's faces. That's much more analogous to having ChatGPT redesign your models. The way it face-swaps the Resident Evil characters and a futbol player is downright comical.
He's a bit worse than Sam Altman, more like a vehicular Elizabeth Holmes.
It would actually be news if they *weren't* buying the location data openly available on the market.
The only way to fix this massive privacy problem is to make it illegal for companies to collect this information in the first place.
You know you've been spending too much time on the computer when your friend misdates a check, and you suggest adding a "++" to fix it.
