Im curious why you hate watermarks so much? Gaining recognition as an artist by stamping a work as your own is very different than gazillion $ company paying to interrupt your content stream with brainwashing propaganda.
Either this is a very not-thought through opinion or it is a just another attempt to provide more content with attributions removed to train GenAI LLMs.
Good explanation. For a bit more context:
AFAIK DLSS was the first “AI technology” to hit the gaming market when NVIDIA revealed it a few GPU generations back. Unsure if it came with the RTX 2000 series or later but somewhere along those lines. DLSS consisted of 2 major technologies, upscaling and frame generation.
Upscaling uses an AI model to take a lower resolution image (frame) and upscale it to a higher resolution, this cutting the required performance to rendering the frame to begin with. This improves framerate at the cost of bluriness in fast moving scenens and some ghosting artrefacts. This has been improved across the different DLSS versions but the issue still remains, although way less notable.
Frame generation on the other hand generates “fake” frames in between naturally generated frames to improve framerate and produce a more fluid experience. As the model needs extra time to produce this extra frame it also leads to some latency being added resulting in input delay, which is not ideal for fast-paced competitive games.
Both of these technologies affects the visuals of the game somewhat but still retains the original artists vision. Although it does influence the visual quality and brings some side effects such as smearing, ghosting and artefacts.
The new DLSS 5 debacle is a fresh can of worms. While previous DLSS versions have focused on retaining the original image and only improving performance this version now heavily influences the content of whatever is being rendered. The AI now alters the lighting, textures, geometry, etc in the frame and applies the most glorious of AI slop you could imagine, removing any sense of artistic direction and atmosphere from the game.
NVIDIA is attempting to damage control the situation by claiming that developers have full control over what is being touched by the AI model and what isnt. But the reality remains that this does influence the scene content with unpredictable AI generated content, thus simply removing artistic ability and feeling from games.
But we do not need to worry, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang himself has told us that “we are wrong” and that this is simply amazing so as every good citizen under a capitalist technocratic ogligarchy i believe we should just sit bow down and praise DLSS 5 as the godly diety it is. /s
I can agree with this. The environment is definitely affecting OP in someway, i see the same in their way of writing. I dont think its an unnatural response to this mess theyre living in but i agree they should note this and not make it a habit everywhere else. I can see how it would be very hard to see what is a “normal” level of cleanliness/nastyness if this is how you constantly see your surroundings.
Yeah, same here. Sounded germophobic but with the context of the pictures it makes way more sense. In a generally clean and tidy house these things would not be that big of a deal but in this case i think its fair for OP to be disturbed by it. Im not a overly clean person, our apartment gets pretty messy sometimes but never to that degree or to a point where it looks that messy, especially not for prolonged periods of time.
Its true, its how the weird special keys on certain keyboards functions. Its just a convoluted keybind integrated into Windows.
Yeah, look at the headings, terribly obvious IMO. Theres also just something weird with the article content wise. Like, why are we blaming the women again? Because they do sex work? And that is not a fault of the system? Idk, this smells really bad…
Truth be told i stopped reading after just glancing the headings but it feels real bad.
