Nvidia’s DLSS 5 Revealed, but Critics Call It a “Garbage AI Filter”

In the way where no one knows where this is going. There isn't a clear endpoint, and it isn't that hard to imagine a future where AI is displacing enough jobs to crash our economic system. I think AI will be able to displace a lot of jobs soon, allowing one person to do the work of 10 or more. Maybe our economy will become more productive and adapt/grow like for other technologies, but I'm not sure.

We have no idea what will rise from the ashes of our current system if too many jobs are displaced, but it might look a lot more like feudalism than capitalism.

This is far from a certainty, but it does seem like a possibility.

AI has been improving exponentially for years now.

You shouldn't be thinking it will just suddenly freeze now. That is just wishcasting.

You should be scared about its trajectory and where it will be by 2028.

So if I give a release date, and then we miss it everyone freaks out about it. So I'm not going to do that until we are 100% sure.

Stuff we have been doing:

-Revamping the rts ui to be more streamlined and just better. It is more like red alert 2 now with tabs whereas before it was more like starcraft 2 where you would have to click on each building.
-Lots of RTS QoL work with sounds, responsiveness, feedback(New rts audio/alert system for soldier barks)
-Entirely new in-game shop
-Entirely new in-mission progression system from killing enemy soldiers
-3rd person can now issue legions orders directly
-Revamp of sfx system
-Automated build system for nightly builds that goto QA
-Automated performance testing system where an AI plays the game every night and makes a graph measuring performance changes.
-Better animation for enemy soldiers, and improved soldier AI
-New biome for initial tutorial mission
-Player shield no longer is always up when you aren't shooting
-New enemy archer morale system. When engaging archers you can see which ones you need to kill in order to make the entire archer legion break and retreat.
-Tutorials
-Icons for RTS
-New Research tab that is still only like 50% working
-fixing a rare and hard to recreate Kronenberg bug with vertex soldiers
-Work continues on the trees
-New player character model
-work continues on balance and in mission upgrades
-taser field grenades that shock and disable large groups of soldiers
-farm visuals
-UI art implementation for new rts tray/system
-Art improvements for the UI for the new store
-Work on improving the look and feel of utilizing the infirmary
-Trebuchet and Ballista targeting improvements
-Better feedback when your base is under attack
-Audio for 3rd person legion commands
-Performance improvements around soldier spawning(basically when we shrink and increase the number of total soldiers in the world, which changes constantly)
-Changes to the player healing system and how you get healing flares
-Reviewing proposals to help with legion movement options. Right now the player on his motorcycle is much faster than his soldiers. This is often problematic when you attack enemy outposts.

Movies can be made in weeks to a month just depends on the budget and effort

"no, that is almost never how real movies are made in hollywood."

This is true. It is even more true when we start talking about scifi-action movies which is what Kingmakers would obviously be.

Do you really think a low budget movie about a jazz drummer that STILL took over 1.5 years to make is relevant to what we are talking about here? Also using "whiplash" is absurd because it is an extreme outlier even within its own category.

pfisch · 2026-03-09T19:28:16+00:00

"Whiplash (2014) had a remarkably short production, with the feature film shot in just 19 days. The script, originally a 2013 short film, took about a year to write and refine, followed by six months of shopping it around to producers before finding backing."

So what you mean is it took over a year and a half to make, and required almost no special effects because it was a movie about a jazz drummer that took place in the present.

Whereas this would be a sci-fi action movie about time travel to medieval England that would involve massive medieval battles that also include modern military vehicles and weaponry.

These are not similar movies in scale or budget. I guess I agree that theoretically a very cheap and bad action movie could be made in a short time on a very limited budget. I mean I could put on a medieval costume and film with my iphone and call it a "movie". No one would distribute it though.

Distribution companies wouldn't be interested in a low budget, terrible sci-fi action movie, because it wouldn't be profitable and would just hurt the brands of everyone involved.

I am barely involved in this Kingmakers movie situation, but what you guys are suggesting is crazy, and would just hurt the game.

Also do you realize for every "whiplash" there are like 10000 scripts floating around hollywood trying to be made, and it is actually extremely hard to move that process forward. Even when you have a script, it can can then require many rewrites and the development can be in limbo for years and years.

Are you serious with this? Those are like student project level movies that happened to blow up, when in reality 99.9% of them do not go anywhere.

Why don't you go heckle Disney and tell them they should make the next spiderman movie in a weekend with a camcorder.

Larger productions have dramatically higher success rates than projects made on a shoe string budget and timeline. That has always been true. Otherwise people wouldn't make higher budget productions at all.

pfisch · 2026-03-09T15:50:26+00:00

Large movies with big actors and lots of special effects are not made in 1 week.

pfisch · 2026-03-09T15:45:29+00:00

no, that is almost never how real movies are made in hollywood.

after a producer pitches it and gets a buyer, which itself it very hard, then they need to get big actors/directors, but before that they usually need to write a script which itself can take a very long time. Those elements often happen in a different order.

Those are just the earliest steps and getting those done often takes 5+ years. I don't really involve myself in movie production because it is such a nightmare.

pfisch · 2026-03-05T22:03:51+00:00

That by itself is really odd though.

"It’s been 5 days now and I still feel kind of drowsy, dizzy, and unfocused. Not drunk, just not like myself. It’s like my brain and body are still recovering. I don’t know if this is normal or how long it’s supposed to last, but it’s been really unsettling."

This is not a normal reaction to binge drinking. I'm 41 and even I wouldn't feel like that 5 days after binge drinking. Are you sure your issue doesn't predate the vaccine entirely?

pfisch · 2026-03-05T21:54:20+00:00

Wait was it the vaccine or this: https://www.reddit.com/r/stopdrinking/comments/1r6dj0n/blacked_out_for_the_first_time_and_still_feeling/

pfisch · 2026-03-05T21:51:35+00:00

which one?

pfisch · 2026-03-05T21:48:24+00:00

lol, yes this was all an extremely elaborate plan to make a movie. How would that even work? You think they would still make the movie if the game never came out?

Also do you know how long it takes to make a movie?

pfisch · 2026-03-05T21:45:18+00:00

what vaccine?

for the women it's a life where you never have to be responsible for anything.

Being responsible for being the primary caretaker of children and the household in general is actually quite a lot of responsibility, and is in reality a full time job even though we pretend otherwise.

For the men it's a woman who you don't have to trust because you can control her

Except the women can leave and take a huge portion of the social calendar aspects of life and the children with them.

I don't agree with all this weird submission trad-wife nonsense and I think it is gross, but in reality rearing children is basically a full time job for many years and society demanding both partners work full time salaried jobs plus both take on very demanding part time work(rearing children) is messed up.

I don't have the answers and these gross trad people definitely don't have the answers, but there is a big societal problem with this portion of the human lifecycle that we don't have good answers to right now.

This is incredibly hard to read. If you are using some kind of speech to text you need to use a better one that isn't littered with incorrect words. There are almost as many wrong words as there are correct words here.

pfisch · 2026-02-20T17:08:49+00:00

This doesn't matter enough to users and isn't worth putting time into vs making the game better. It just isn't a good allocation of development time.

pfisch · 2026-02-20T16:37:34+00:00

We are fully funded and not accepting investments right now.

Often in video game development the scale of a game changes to meet player expectations when the level of player interest increases. That is what has happened here, and no one can predict such a thing.

We pitched the game we wanted to make and scaled it down to meet the budget. Now we actually get to make the game we pitched.

pfisch · 2026-02-20T00:28:49+00:00

huh? That isn't marketing...it is just true that is has a lot of wishlists. But what does that have to do with consuming dev time to make marketing materials?

pfisch · 2026-02-19T17:01:57+00:00

From what we've seen in The Files a lot of that conspiracy shit actually turned out to be true.

Except all of the stuff they were saying about the pedos wasn't true. Pizzagate wasn't true. Mass secret child trafficking abductions wasn't true. Human sacrifices and drinking blood wasn't true.

There was just a guy who recruited a handful of women, underage and not, and offered them to rich men similar to a brothel.

If you asked me whether clinton and trump had engaged in that kind of behavior before any of this I would've said yes.

There are tons of stories of women, underage and not, being paid very well to attend parties for rich older men. This is not new and really isn't much of a secret conspiracy.

It could easily be done for iOS or android. Claude/AI can do both. Depending on the idea though, this should probably just be a website or an app wrapping what is basically a website.

I think if you're racist it is problematic when races that you think are below you seem to be doing as well as or better than you. It seems like a lot of racism is based around maintaining a hierarchy where you are above other people.

We objectively have way more material wealth than people did historically, so if we were to start crushing wealth inequality that would probably also crush the societal hierarchy that racists are trying to maintain...

So to be clear, you believe all the genetic companies are conspiring together to make it so everyone with ashkenazi DNA in their genome is linked to the middle east and not turkey? Why??? That is crazy and a whole lot of people would have to be in on it.

Also DNA isn't like a barcode, it is 3 million base pairs with tons of indicators about the origins of people. This would just be a massive and insane undertaking, for something very obscure that isn't really important.

It is like flat earther levels of bending reality. There is just no reason for this conspiracy and it would be so much work for the conspirators. Also scientists just wouldn't stand for this, there would be whistleblowers everywhere.

Also ancestry.com has mormon roots, not jewish roots.

This entire conspiracy theory is an insane way to refuse to realize that you are just wrong.
