Bwahahaha, remember when their company motto was “Don’t be evil?” Pepperidge Farm remembers!

Half the time my IP is messed up anyway, because whenever I use the Safari browser, it goes random places. Which I always forget when doing speed tests and then freak out because I think the speed is off (but it’s really Apple’s MITM network that is maxing out under a gigabit).

Meh, it sounds like the usual “AI will change everything!” bluster and disappointment.

I would try it out myself, just for the sake of curiosity, but unfortunately, my $1/mo 3 month thingie I got with my last phone literally expired today, or course.

Relevant to your interests…

To be fair, how will you tell the difference from FOX News?

Yep. Maybe it could actually be “modules” that the individual devs submit with their game, essentially.

Current DLSS intent: We can only render this at like 720p with enough frames, so let’s do that and use AI anti-aliasing tricks so that when we present it at 4k, none of the jaggies are visible on-screen like they would be with raw 720p upscaling.

DLSS5 intent: Using our pile of stolen artwork neural net that we can now render at 60fps+ let’s “reimagine” the entire look of the game as we present it on-screen, even if it was already running at 4k just fine.

TLDR; How big the neuralnet is and what your train it for matters.

This was definitely something I predicted like a year or so ago. Richard Burns Rally will continue to be the default rally sim, but they will never bother to update the 2004 game engine. Rather at some point, AI will literally start MITM capturing all the 2004 graphical output and converting it to photorealistic modern graphics that are output to your screen instead.

EDIT: But yeah, this is such a “fuck your game, fuck your artistic intention, eat our AI slop and like it!”

Don’t worry, guys! If some country bombed, let’s say for example, 2 of our buildings in NYC, would we treat that as act of war? Nah… probably not. Surely we’d just shrug and move on with peace negotiations!

Like an order of magnitude worse?

• No sitting president before him has been a convicted felon.
• No sitting president before him has been involved in the sheer volume of sexual scandals from assault to cheating to being implicated in possible pedophilia.
• No sitting president before him has refused to return literally boxes and boxes of classified documents which he kept as trophies (or possibly as items for sale) while storing them in extremely inappropriate ways. (This is extremely different from Biden, btw, who promptly returned a few accidentally retained documents. Trump was playing shell games with them, repeatedly swearing he had returned them all while doing things like loading them on planes to move to other locations, etc.)
• No sitting president before him has attempted to overthrow the government when they lost an election.
• The level of bribery and corruption in his administration is off the charts.
• The number of lies he tells has always been off the charts. (“I’ve never heard of Project 2025!” while having given a speech to its members and now following its plans to dismantle the federal government.)
• His department heads have all been picked to dismantle the departments they’re in. (Project 2025 again)

And then of course there is the christofascism angle, which is extremely disturbing because he definitely plans to never leave power again. He’s currently trying hard to normalize use of military force against US citizens so he can seize control of the elections to make sure they go his way.
