So is nvidia’s plan to just not have any market share in a few years?

When the AI bubble pops they’re going to need someone to buy their stuff again. Perhaps pissing everybody off isn’t the best long-term strategy. But what do I know I’m only their target demographic.

There’s absolutely no application for DLSS 5 for anything other than gaming

The fact that he was convicted of a sex crime should have already invalidated him from holding office. What really needs to happen is the US needs to sort their laws out. Trump is a symptom.

They should also probably put a law on the books that says that if you can’t run a casino profitably you should probably not be allowed anywhere near any any finance orientated job. somewhat of a niche law, but it seems necessary.

Didn’t Trump post AI videos of himself talking about magic instant heal beds at one point? Everything really is a projection isn’t it.

Dad you’re on the internet again, you know you’re not supposed to be on the internet, because you say dumb things and then people laugh at you.

Roll under error was it?

You’re yawning? You’re the one that brought it up.

No there isn’t. There’s lots of ways you can shoehorn NFTs in, but it’s always a poor fit. People always try and claim that NFTs will solve some sort of problem that is already solved with existing technology.

There is no problem NFTs can solve that can’t also be implemented much more cheaply and effectively with an SQL database from the 90s.

But I didn’t pre-order it did I?

I’m really not sure what you’re upset about.

Oh no there would absolutely be responses, but not to the level of military retaliation as he was suggesting.

China would definitely use it as an excuse to build up their nuclear stockpile and the nuclear test ban treaty would be in tatters.

It would also result in a lot of civil unrest in the US which could spiral into a civil war. To be honest though I can’t really see the US surviving until the end of the century regardless, there’s just too much hate and division there and neither the republicans nor the democrats have ever attempted to fix major societal issues.

Yeah they’re just evil oppressive dictators but at least they don’t try and claim innocent. They own being dictators, they admit it.

Does Iran actually have the range to be a threat to the US? The last stats I saw had their maximum range and maybe enough to strike the Mediterranean and maybe a little inland in Italy and Spain. That’s a far cry from being able to hit the US mainland. Hell even South Africa is probably out of range and it’s not like they can deploy ships to close the gap.

I’m pretty sure the rest of the world wouldn’t need to do anything. Nato isn’t particularly pro-Iran either so they’d probably be very unhappy with the US, but not actually unhappy enough to do anything about it. Maybe some trade sanctions.

I highly doubt NATO would consider it a sensible response to nuke the US.

Also I can’t see Russia or China getting involved. Russia won’t because I suspect they don’t actually have any functional nukes, and China won’t because they don’t care about Iran enough to risk a war. Obviously Israel isn’t going to do anything. So that leaves maybe North Korea who probably don’t have the range even if he did decide they wanted to respond.

So I can’t see how this would spiral into anything more, unless the US decided to use an unprecedented number of nukes and just cause nuclear winter on purpose, but I don’t think even the Trump administration is that stupid.

I’m fascinated by the idea that world war 3 wouldn’t affect the development of AI. All any opposing force would need to do is bomb California and that would be the end of AI research.

Or die trying; you mean the effort of reading out a long string of letters in order to authorise the launch will overwhelm his tiny mind? I mean I guess it’s possible, I’m not sure he actually can read.

Yes that is absolutely a valid way of approaching the problem although you do then sometimes run into the problem that the game you’re trying to play is no longer supported (service been shut down left and right).

I also think it’s a bit unnecessary, by all means play the classics if that’s what you’re into, but if you’re doing it to save money, it’s not as if there aren’t high quality indie games being made right now, so it’s not like you have to just play old games to be frugal.

Is that supposed to be some sort of personality failing?

Unfortunately it isn’t a particularly great spec. It’s fine if you don’t care about those things but for people that want high-end smartphones the phone isn’t going to cut it.

Well not too much for Starfield. Back when they announced it they were comments about how their engine isn’t good enough to pull off the things they were promising. It’s why I didn’t pre-order it.
