This. This is a legal earthquake and existing law firms will pivot and new law firms will be created to dive into Big Tech social media settlement money. Plaintiffs will be groomed, "expert" witnesses will be retained for years, judges will get cushy property deals and non-show non-profit jobs for their clans.... the whole shebang is spinning up right now.

And "changes" will only mitigate (no preclude) future cases. This is all unprovable mental health stuff and "harm" can be attributed to anyone that's seen a post since facebook et al. was founded.

Altman and co. are dealing in investments of 10s and 100s of billions of dollars. Disney comes to the table with $1B and expects what, exactly? That OpenAI will be the firewall that protects Disney from AI predation? LOL. Disney will need to 10x or 100x that number at least, and they're still going to lose.

It was male. However, it was also gay, as Colbert will reveal.

Gay elves, gay hobbits. You'll see.

There will be female elves beating up everything: orcs, male elves, male humans, dragons, horses, barrels of ale. Everything.

Also, girl Legolas. Bet that.

Might have made a good date movie, if anyone still went on dates.

We are moving to an economy where if you aren't in the 1%, then everything will be a few months wage. This is definitely a case where a US administration was doing everything to increase prices, intended or not. Its what happens when you let a monkey and his buffoons run a system that requires understanding of consenquences.

Imagine thinking gamers still matter to Huang.

I mean what I said. We've had decades of obfuscation, lies and demurring bullshit on domestic surveillance by FBI and others. Now, the FBI director has committed a little candor and confirmed what we all know. This takes away a fig leaf that surveillance apologist's hide behind.

I'm sure this is frustrating for you: crediting an appointee of the big orange Nazi and all... but there you go. Guess you'll just have to tough it out.

It's more candor than we've ever gotten from any FBI director, ever.

I realize AAA game designers will adapt and use new capabilities to produce better "atmosphere," just as they always have. Shit tier games will still be shit, but different. Ultimately, nothing of value will be lost.

I meant, you get a stream straight from the studio master, not ripped from an audio CD.

I don't care about this much, but I took a quick look.

The DLSS 5 face looks about a decade better than the non-DLSS face. The latter is how faces have appeared for decades in games: not quite there. The former is far better: the eyes look real. Skin tone is convincing. Nice.

The alley/street/whatever is dramatically different. Not necessarily better or worse, but very different. So that's a thing that will bother people that are all wrapped around the axle about "atmosphere."

Overall I prefer the DLSS 5 version pretty strongly. It looks better.

There. A former gamer that likes it. Hate on, you spoiled brats.

Everything requires maintenance. Hopefully the repair equipment can be migrated to hybrid and then fully electric in the coming years. It’s going to take years, given the investment, but when oil is politically risky and environmentally risky, then there are incentives to move beyond it.

I thought the "high res" thing was to sell you music straight from the 48KHz master -- not jankily downscaled to 44.1KHz, clipped because of loudness wars, and then lossily compressed. Am I out of date?

Wider temperature range is a killer feature. It simplifies everything, so the plant costs far less and needs much less attention.

LOL.

Prophetic much?

When this one pops, it's going to be biblical.
