Yah I’ve heard enough “commitments” from corporations to know that it’s written on toilet paper. Let me know when they actually change things, until then it’s empty words

If this is serious, it’s a very centric view of the world there, right and wrong side is localized to where you live. If it was a joke… It wasn’t the most obvious

I uh, don’t think this comic was meaning it seriously.

Shocked. Absolutely shocked. Don’t you see how shocked I am?

This is good. Nvidia and ram manufacturers showed how reliant we are on them, and took advantage of their monopolies. It makes absolute sense that other govs will be looking to make them in house now, china being the most obvious. The nvidia and them will cry saying it’s unfair they have to compete again, and the us go will do something stupid for short term gains while the rest of the world plans long term.

Its artificial. Ever since Barbeinder’s viral success studios now want to make that annually. Its all about hype, its all about marketing budgets. They’re going to try and make it trending, they’re going to pay influencers, they will want it to feel authentic but remember it’s all corporate marketing.

They don’t care if you want to only see one, or if you think the other sucks. They already calculated that. You’re still giving them the publicity they need

This should be taught in MBA and finance classes for how Bros get caught up in a hype cycle and how it’s all bullshit

So what you didn’t want to read the rest of that and just jumped to insulting me? I’ll never be ashamed of learning new information and adjusting my views.

Guh. Look I’m not against AI, when it’s used in a good place. Hot take, DLSS 5.0 features could have an interesting place. HOWEVER, before you mass downvote me

NVidia is not the one to tell when a game should use something like this. This should be used as a fine tuning option if the developer thinks it legitimately will make their games slightly better, and only for super realistic games. I think Cyberpunk, where main characters are all super detailed but background NPCs are more or less fairly low poly and not detailed. It might be good. However, then it comes up against the real kicker, which is that those limitations of those engines and the hardware at the time is what made artists think about their decisions. They made design choices at the time which drove how their game would look. I said in another thread, Master Chief’s now iconic armor was because they had such heavy restrictions. It’s a few triangles of green at the end of the day.

Added to a few games where it’s been tested and fits in the artistic style? I classify that as upscaling, a proven use of AI, and fits within the DLSS brand. Slapped into every game to make all men beefy hunkcakes and all women look like OF models? That’s when it’s slop.

Sorry Jensen, you’re pushing the slop angle, and that makes me sour to the concept.

Son look up all of the other comments that said that and also where I responded to it already.

Spouse and I were joking yesterday. Yeah super they turned it on in starfield. Did it suddenly make the ge not boring? Is it interesting to play? Is the dialogue at all realistic? No? They’re just all onlyfans models now? Then who cares.

I really enjoyed Gifable, a self-hosted gif library. It was great, albeit a bit feature light. About 3 years ago the maintainer stopped maintaining and went AFK, nothing to be heard of then. I’ve since forked it, and I’ve been working on some new features to hopefully bring it up to speed. (Things like S3 storage, using AI image captioning to auto-caption your memes, categories, and hopefully full matrix integration), but it’s a slog.

First I asked it how to create a dump file. I hooked up ADB debugging to my phone, then used the scooter’s app as normal, with the logging turned on in Android developer tools. It created a very long and complex dump file of hex that I could not understand.

However, then I had Claude get to work. I describe that in that I had opened the scooter’s app, and turned it on, paused a few seconds, then turned it off and closed the app. It started attempting to mimic the commands through the computer’s local bluetooth device, to get a successful response. Eventually, after something like 20 attempts it found a hidden clue that was basically a pattern that it had detected, and it was able to finally get an ACK from the scooter. Something I would have never been able to do. From there we have a plan on how to map out all of the other commands, but it was a huge win for the day.

Personally it’s what I use them for the most. I do not have the time to reverse engineer arbitrary things like this. I have a scooter that uses Bluetooth BLE which has no connectivity beyond that. I’ve been using Claude to help reverse engineer the protocol to hopefully get a home assistant integration up and running.

Claude can see things I can’t, patterns in hex that are coming back, I send in results from wireshark and it can try ad neaseum to try and get something working. Right now it’s about half working. When I have time I’ll keep plugging away. Then hopefully other people will be able to use it, and we can have one less vendor locked in device

Kind of skipped over my entire thesis there didn’t you? And my other comments addressing those.

I saw the project that did this. It was satirical, and I think the point was to show how absurd it would be to maintain everything yourself, even with AI

Each of these points makes it worth it. Price is always overlooked. Renting is same as a subscription. If you buy your modem it’s more expensive, but at the end you still have a modem. Renting at the end you have nothing.

Bethesda should be offended that their flagship product that runs on their archaic engine was just roasted like this

I agree, but also I see the other side. This is actually a neat usage of AI, it’s not slop in my book, it’s akin to upscaling.

That being said, those limitations are what drove the original artwork. The artists used those limitations to make the styles and characters we now love.

Master chiefs classic armor was just as much designed my the polygon limitations as much as what they imagined could be done

I agree with your take, and I think it’s why there can’t be a rational discussion about AI on the internet, because AI is a very nuanced topic and the internet does not comprehend the concept of nuance.

Like all hype technology, both polar opposite sides will probably be wrong. The best and worst case outcomes are only 2 of an infinite number of outcomes in between. We will probably end up with some form of AI that sits comfortably in the middle.

Thinking that way, for engineers, I think refusing to use it will only limit you. It’s akin to refusing to use an IDE, or css. It may not feel like that, but to companies you might as well say you only code on punchcards. I can personally attest that searching for senior engineering roles last yeardid not ask if I used AI. they asked how much AI I used, and I was required to use it during the interviews. This is not one company. Every company interviewed with. It’s here to stay. Refusing to use it comes off as stubbornness to hiring managers, not some grand fight.
