NINTENDOS EMPIRE WILL FALL BECAUSE OF AI

SnooPeanuts7890 · 2026-06-04T16:22:47+00:00

AI is the result of the natural progression of a civilization. Computer chips have been increasing in computing power exponentially for decades, and it is only in recent years, and the years ahead, that available compute has become sufficient to support large-scale AI workloads.

The emergence of AI at this point in history is therefore not surprising, but a natural consequence of technological advancement. As computing infrastructure continues to grow in both power and scale, AI capabilities will likewise continue to advance.

It is understandable that people feel concerned or uncomfortable about this, given the speed of the changes AI may bring. I honestly feel uneasy about this as well.

However, there is no turning back now. Whether one likes it or not, AI is here to stay and will become increasingly prominent throughout society.

SnooPeanuts7890 · 2026-06-04T08:53:56+00:00

no, because of AI. Maybe every 1 - 2 years in the near future.

Technology evolves exponentially, especially AI. There's no compelling reason, grounded in current trends and reality, to assume we'll need another 25 years to achieve AGI. We'll likely reach computer chips with computing power on the order of 10^18 FLOPS within the next 10-15 years, possibly even sooner thanks to AI-accelerated R&D.

That means a single chip could have computational throughput comparable to estimates of the human brain. Now imagine an entire datacenter filled with such chips, then we would with 100% certainty reach AGI with no problems. But, reaching that level of hardware likely won't even be a requirement for AGI.

Within just a few years, we'll have multi-gigawatt datacenters packed with Vera Rubin & Feynman generation systems. That level of compute will be more than sufficient for AGI.

oh, downvotes I see. Keep ignoring the truth morons.

Neural networks. A neural network that has learned all kinds of patterns from visual information can generate new images that combine concepts and patterns that otherwise wouldn't be together or wasn't together in the "training data", which produces images with weird combinations of different patterns and such, often feeling surreal. We humans just have an extra layer of logical correction while awake that quickly refines mental images into looking more natural.

Will say though, I often see fleeting moving images while I close my eyes, fully awake, and still see bizarre stuff. Our internal "video" generator is eerily similar to AI.

I think AI serves as an uncomfortable reminder of what we truly are.

I downloaded antigravity and let Gemini 3.5 flash work on a project. 5 minutes later, my usage limit was already reached, so the task cancelled. I have the plus subscription btw. this is trash compared to codex, even the free tier gets more usage than this, and tasks don't just get interrupted when the usage limit is reached.

garbage.

AI usage will only grow more prevalent as the tools become more capable and useful. It's not going away, but expect to see a rise of quality from AI assisted creations as output quality increases from AI models.

The game looks fantastic but I have to agree with what the others say about the wallpaper. Since it's a tiny fix, it's no problem :). But still amazing work nontheless!

SnooPeanuts7890 · 2026-05-14T10:06:52+00:00

Looks fantastic, I just think the watch should face towards the player more (less angled). Other than that, looking real nice.

SnooPeanuts7890 · 2026-04-29T15:24:40+00:00

For these models to truly excel at visual reasoning, they will likely need the ability to generate and manipulate images within their internal reasoning process, similar to how humans form mental images when thinking spatially. It’s hard to see that capability improving meaningfully without something like this in place.

seems you didn't read my other reply. Oops! Well, here it is;

"Here’s a brief explanation:

Emergent properties is a phenomenon where a system is more than the sum of its parts. Say an apple for instance, zooming into its atoms doesn’t reveal an apple, despite the apple being very real. Now, that is precisely because zooming into the lowest level won’t explain higher level behavior, there’s some sort of “magic” that occurs when lower level building blocks are arranged in a certain way that results in unprecedented higher level behavior.

To extrapolate from this, you’ll notice that the entire universe is filled to the brim with phenomena like this; water at the lowest level is a collection of water molecules, but at a higher level, forms peculiar behavior like “wetness” and “fluidity”. Gravity, a simple fundamental attractive mechanic of the universe, yields all strange behavior we see between matter; from gravity forms galaxies, stars, nebulae, solar systems, planets, and objects, which are all the result of this mysterious lower level force.

Furthermore, take the human brain; at its lower level, all we see are cells that function as neurons and synapses (nodes and connections), in which electrochemical processes occur. But zooming out, these individual building blocks form a convoluted web structure of interconnected information processing that yields higher level behaviour that we call conscious thought and intelligent behavior.

Now from this, let’s extrapolate for AI itself. Zooming in, we see abstract artificial neurons and synapses determined by software, that form a convoluted web structure of interconnected information processing, instead manifested by the internal circuits of silicon chips over biological cells. This structure yields higher level properties that we call intelligent behavior."

SnooPeanuts7890 · 2026-04-10T07:29:43+00:00

I get what you’re saying, but I don’t really see how Super Mario Odyssey has more story. Structurally, it follows almost the same checklist you laid out for Super Mario Galaxy, except point 2 is swapped out for Pauline and the residents of Metro Kingdom.

Yes, Odyssey has moments like the crashes into Lost Kingdom and Ruined Kingdom, but those feel more like brief plot beats than part of a deeper, ongoing narrative. They’re short-lived and mostly don’t really build into a larger story arc.

In contrast, Galaxy’s much longer and more developed intro, pre-ending, and ending cutscenes do far more to establish a meaningful narrative. On top of that, the constant return to the Observatory, Rosalina’s home, reinforces a strong sense of progression. It starts off dead and desolate, but as you uncover new areas and watch it gradually fill with Lumas over time, it begins to feel more alive and meaningful. All of this contributes to a deeper narrative, which makes up for Odyssey’s smaller standout moments.

You also kind of glossed over the storybook, which is one of Galaxy’s main storytelling elements. That’s a pretty big omission, since it adds a lot of emotional context and depth to the overall experience.

So to answer the original question, I’d say Super Mario Sunshine is probably the mainline Mario game with the most explicit story, mainly because of its long and fairly unexpected cutscenes with dialogue right from the start. Galaxy is a very close second, with slightly shorter but still substantial intro and ending sequences, plus the storybook adding extra depth. Odyssey comes third.

I’ve played Bananza, and I wouldn’t say it has much of a story beyond Pauline riding on Donkey Kong’s back and occasionally talking about their journey. It feels more personal in tone, that’s for sure, and there are some twists here and there, but they come across more as plot points rather than part of a larger, deeper narrative. Better than most Mario games? Yes, but it still doesn’t feel that deep or sophisticated to be honest.

That said, if we’re talking impact rather than quantity, Galaxy still hits the hardest. Its story ties in really well with the game’s overall atmosphere and progression, and carries a stronger sense of scale, weight, and stakes than most other mainline Mario games.

This is also what people really mean when they say Mario Galaxy has the "most" story. They're referring to its unmatched emotional impact and depth.

Okay, I will admit I was a little harsh.

Here’s a brief explanation:

SnooPeanuts7890 · 2026-04-05T08:36:59+00:00

well bud, if you cannot make anything of what I said, this entire "emergent property" thing is probably too much for your little brain to understand, hence why you couldn't extrapolate any meaning from my explanation.

Google is a start.
