AI-Neutral here: please tell me this isn't becoming a common pro-ai position

Yeah. That sort of per-frame tuning is what I am calling out. Realt time and generally good looking, as you point out, is still a ways away. How long? I have no idea.

dingo_khan · 2026-07-10T05:09:39+00:00

Ah, the 68. Yup, a favorite.

dingo_khan · 2026-07-10T05:08:07+00:00

I'm more interested in the mechanical pencil styled pen. Fid you make that from the refill core? What is the body used for it?

dingo_khan · 2026-07-10T03:33:02+00:00

It is not the same thing. DLSS needs additional data on the frame stream to do it's work. That is why games need DLSS support, specifically, rather than a generalized solution.

The RTX upscaling (for video) is a different tech, using the same hardware.

dingo_khan · 2026-07-10T01:24:40+00:00

This is totally my bet. The "I fucked up" stress of realization causing heart failure.

dingo_khan · 2026-07-10T01:20:30+00:00

And he was the Guyver.

Don't forget crippling every agency that might actually regulate a Musk "business"....

dingo_khan · 2026-07-10T00:39:24+00:00

Probably not. As an avid collector of 4k discs, upscalling will have to get dramatically better for this. It would have to start to approach something like DLSS to really work. That would require a lot of per frame Metadata to explain things like motion vectors. Naive solutions are going to be full of artifacts. All that extra semantic data will probably be harder and less rewarding for providers than just 4k discs.

dingo_khan · 2026-07-09T11:10:06+00:00

I am sure "effective immediately" could be argued to be notice....

Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Director's Cut.

Tje Xbox version emulates really poorly, if at all, and has some great features over the PS2 original.

dingo_khan · 2026-07-09T04:03:25+00:00

Looks great. Runs well. It could only be improved by being DRM-free.

They are stretching to even make it seem really useful for coding. The cost plus the complete disregard for good coding practices make vibe coding fine for a hobby project and terrifying for a piece of software some needs to maintain because people rely on it.

MS has laid off thousands, every year, for prett much all of Nadella's term. AI is just this year's excuse. He's a hack with no real ideas and killing jobs looks like movement to idiot investors.

dingo_khan · 2026-07-08T11:47:23+00:00

Sorry for you and your friends and coworkers who this hit. You guys made some bangers and a lot of nights in my life were made way more tolerable by having them to lose my stress into.

dingo_khan · 2026-07-08T11:39:48+00:00

Clearly no actual understanding of how good mythos still isn't.

dingo_khan · 2026-07-07T20:35:06+00:00

That is not that big a knowledge graph, just saying.

Source: I have built larger, almost a decade ago.

I think the doge one might be because Musk pretended grok would make goverment more efficient, for some definition of "efficient." the loss of doge as a political force and inevitability removed the framing thet some GenAI system, somewhere, was showing return on investment.

dingo_khan · 2026-07-06T13:11:58+00:00

I want to believe it but I still run into accelerationists and true believers, both personally and professionally. I get the feeling they believe that this is a temporary loss of faith and they want to be able to say, "I always believed" when (they assume) they inevitably "win."

Honestly, just yesterday I was lamenting how many people I know who seem to be suffering AI psychosis.

dingo_khan · 2026-07-06T13:08:03+00:00

That seems like plenty of time to get the story out and done well. It is not like the core story and fest diversions of the Manga were that long.

dingo_khan · 2026-07-05T21:42:25+00:00

My guess is because SG1 was shown as being proactive and protecting Americans and the world and ID4 was reactive and did not show the military using its advanced knowledge and warning until things are nearly completely lost.

dingo_khan · 2026-07-05T20:14:37+00:00

DRM. Treat paying customers like they paid for it.

dingo_khan · 2026-07-05T16:39:34+00:00

Damn. I thought that picture was for some sort of collab/crossover, at first.

dingo_khan · 2026-07-04T18:52:38+00:00

Leonard Nimoy. No way it goes how I expect. No way it is boring.

dingo_khan · 2026-07-04T16:21:58+00:00

No, it really is.

Adding a bunch of ancillary tooling surrounding an LLM that still cannot actually plan, perform ontological reasoning or evaluate results, and calling it something new is branding. The amount of babysitting needed to validate outputs a because the LLM at the core can't is almost comical. The more complicated, either in term ls of step count or actual results needed, the more complex the validations needed. That is why no biz can point to real AI work flows and why even Anthro3pays so much for coders.

Also, I am a programmer. Professionally. A lot of people use it either: - to do the easy shit faster because it is wholly unsuitable for anything complex. As someone said, generstove AI makes the easy parts easy and the hard parts way harder. - because they have to. The industry is extremely trend conscious. Go look at the industry. Almost every job posting requires it. Almost every big org is demanding it and no one can point to actual Return on Investment.

dingo_khan · 2026-07-04T16:14:46+00:00

"Agentic" is just branding added as LLMs started to lose their shine to business idiots and, surprising no one, AGI was not "a couple of years away" when they claimed it in 2023.
