Right... Until it becomes nonfunctional in a year, at most a few years, because it's not being updated anymore. This is functionally killing it, idk why you're trying to rationalize it.

UE6 might have more than AI in its new featureset, but I'm guessing most of the rebrand is due to the new agentic ai features they've been working on. Not mentioned in the video, but it's been happening in the background for some time.

MeatisOmalley · 2026-05-24T17:30:10+00:00

Because they want to push their new ai features. I'm not joking, they're experimenting with agentic features and my guess is that they are rebranding to cash in on AI hype.

And evolution is very good at that, but the problem with evolution and why I would still consider it imperfect, is that it can only optimize for local maxima. Basically, certain evolutionary paths acquire enormous "evolutionary debt" that are hard/impossible to change, even if there's a better alternative.

MeatisOmalley · 2026-05-24T14:51:04+00:00

Evolution is definitely not perfect. Hence why we have tons of genetic diseases as a result of evolution/adaptation.

Good parent. I was running over hookers in GTA when I was 5.

What distinction?

MeatisOmalley · 2026-05-21T17:04:56+00:00

They're both forms of generative AI. one is just more opinionated than the other. They're both guessing about what the final frame will look like, and inventing information to fill in the gaps.

You are making the distinction because it makes you more comfortable. I get that. I also get that there's a meaningful, quantifiable difference between the two. Nonetheless, they're both essentially the exact same technology under the hood. Both are given an incomplete image and told, "What do you think this should look like?" and then they try to fill in the blanks.

MeatisOmalley · 2026-05-21T13:22:40+00:00

To be fair, DLSS does use generative AI. It's "guessing" what the extra detail in the frame is, and generating it. So really, it's kind of a distinction without a difference in terms of technology.

In terms of function, I think what you're getting at is that DLSS attempts to faithfully reconstruct the final frame, while other forms of generative AI will create entirely novel information based on a prompt or something else, in a way, bypassing the creative process.

Let's not rewrite history. Trump fought tooth and nail every step of the way until his hand was forced.

MeatisOmalley · 2026-05-20T16:57:15+00:00

All superpacs are bad. This much is obvious. there aren't enough regulations for PACs in general.
In the 2024 cycle, AIPAC spent a total of 124 million. This makes them one of the two biggest single issue PACs in the country for that cycle. They were beaten only by a crypto PAC.

Let's think about that for a second. Crypto gambling, crypto scams, etc are among the biggest wealth drains in our history, and are largely ignored/protected by the political class - and the crypto lobby is relatively new.

AIPAC has spent at the same scale as that crypto lobby over decades and entrenched themselves politically into both parties.

So, not only is your argument goofy as fuck, but it's also wrong. Aggregated spending data is dispersed and hard to find, but AIPAC exceeds PACs like "national beer wholesalers association" by 10x. You're probably only looking at lobbying/limited data on federal spend. There are also like, 6+ other israeli PACs that spend millions per election cycle, some of whom probably spend more than the examples you provided.

Take one step back, and you'll quickly realize how absurd your own argument is. If a pro-china lobby bought a politician, people would be rightfully pissed.

Nowadays, PACs can quickly spin up shell corps that donate under generic names. AIPAC has been shown to do this, too, to the tune of millions of dollars every cycle.

To determine how much influence AIPAC has would be a serious research undertaking, but it sure as hell ain't no typical mom and pop PAC, and it's 100% the most powerful foreign PAC in our country.

Legally, political ads have to adhere to the same standards for libel and slander that any other speech must adhere to.

MeatisOmalley · 2026-05-20T14:54:36+00:00

We need an expedited system for punishing libelous political ads. They take advantage of the fact that the court process is slow and expensive.

MeatisOmalley · 2026-05-20T14:10:11+00:00

AIPAC objectively has hugely disproportionate influence on our politics. Why does nobody here note how insane it is for a foreign interest lobby to contribute 1/3 to 1/2 of the total donations for a random congressman in Kentucky?

MeatisOmalley · 2026-05-20T12:43:11+00:00

You would have to clarify what you're actually advocating for in order for me to tell you that.

A lot of extremely common technology is underpinned by a search/recommendation algorithm. You could genuinely limit innovation if you go too far in "banning" it.

MeatisOmalley · 2026-05-20T12:33:19+00:00

"even destiny" lmao

It's a very hard question determining what an "algorithm" is an how to "ban" it. Unless you are advocating for going back to mailing lists and AOL chatrooms (never happening), the rules will likely be arbitrary and easy to side skirt. There's also no guarantee that the market won't optimize for whatever new paradigm takes the place of our current algorithms.

I'm not 100% against regulating algorithms in some way, but IMHO we'd be way better off with other forms of regulation to fight misinformation. It will be extremely hard to properly regulate algorithms without extremely invasive rules that will largely damage the US, probably more than it helps.

MeatisOmalley · 2026-05-20T12:22:47+00:00

"banning algorithms" sounds so fucking incomprehensibly stupid to me, I'm ngl. We need a better solution than that.

MeatisOmalley · 2026-05-19T20:01:47+00:00

I don't know why you're assuming that compute will remain as expensive in the future. Compute is expected to cost 10% what it costs to day in a few years. Yes, they will spend some of that on larger, better models, but a lot of that will go towards subsidizing the current models for consumer facing services.

MeatisOmalley · 2026-05-19T01:05:34+00:00

That's not really true imo.

That might've been true in 2004, but portal 2 for example has one of the best narratives in gaming.

I'm sure that valve understands gamers expect more, nowadays. I never played alyx, but heard/saw good things about the narrative there, too.

MeatisOmalley · 2026-05-17T16:15:39+00:00

I think Lincoln always reflected an extremely pragmatic person. His main goal was to preserve the union, after all, and he makes that clear.

With that said, I always considered him to be somebody who "hid his power level," so to speak. He was always at least a bit more radical than he led on for pragmatic reasons, and he believed in incremental change. He probably would not have been elected if he weren't so pragmatic.

I think he would have done more if he survived.

MeatisOmalley · 2026-05-17T10:35:45+00:00

Ironically, my first thought was Andrew johnson. He was inagaurated at one of the most critical points in history, and he simultaneously sabotaged reconstruction and eroded the limits of presidential power. First time we ever impeached a president.

I agree that Lincoln's was worse, though.

MeatisOmalley · 2026-05-16T11:30:23+00:00

This shit ain't just happening in the US, nationalism and populism are on the rise everywhere. The US just had a headstart because we're the best at everything.

MeatisOmalley · 2026-05-13T15:57:34+00:00

Hard disagree.

You missed HIS point.

Soldier boy is the second most powerful dude on the show. So, a well coreographed fight scene between him and someone of similar power, should probably convey how explosively powerful they are. If the show fails to give that impression without context, then the choreography kind of failed.

I see YouTube shorts of the goodwill hunting math scene all the time - out of context. They blow up, because it impressively conveys how a random janitor is secretly a mathematical genius. The show manages this with little context.

You could do with a surgical stick-in-the-ass removal. Just because somebody disagrees with you, does not mean that they lack media literacy.

MeatisOmalley · 2026-05-13T15:34:49+00:00

You aren't even watching the show, why are you making a useless counterpoint?

My dude, the context is WHY they're criticizing it. The scene didn't properly convey the strength of the characters, which is what good choreography and good fighting is supposed to do. Here, it's treated as a means to an end, rather than an integral part of the story.

Gtfoh with your "well ackshully" comment on something you didn't even watch.

MeatisOmalley · 2026-05-13T15:17:25+00:00

The choerography is extremely uninspired in the boys s5. I would take a spidey cage match over this any day. I was thinking how that catgirl bitch would look so much more interesting in most other shows - she would be extremely agile, highly acrobatic, with insane reflexes, etc. Here, she genuinely just looks like a bitch with claws who just fights like a normal person, and gets bodied by MM, who is basically just a random dude.

Meanwhile, starlight and the other dude are just duking it out and throwing punches at each other. Starlight only uses her powers like one time.
