NVidia have announced that DLSS 5 will make graphics look "more realistic than ever"… as long as the realism that you want is "generic catwalk model who got airbrushed to within an inch of their life and has none of the character of the original design" 😐

Nvidia faces backlash over 'breakthrough' AI graphics feature

Nvidia says the tool will transform game graphics - critics warn it could squeeze out artistic expression.

I thought Firefox on Mobile might have changed recently and started to look fugly and Chrome-like.

Turns out Firefox on desktop is redesigning again and turning the fugly "buttons not tabs" Proton design into a fuglier "ROUND ALL THE THINGS!" Nova design 🙄

Those mockups look like absolute shit. What's with the rounded content window? And the bizarre "we're pretending to be floating palettes rather than components on a single window" layout?

Hopefully there will still be CSS that can fix it, the same as I've got fixes for the Proton design.

Firefox Nova - our first look at the browser's big redesign - OMG! Ubuntu

A new-look Firefox is on the way, with Mozilla designers working on a 'Nova' redesign that introduces more curves and colour. First reported by tech

OMG! Ubuntu

Today in "bad analogies" and "predicting the worst and least appealing future":

* "If I instruct someone else to cut some wood for me then I still cut that wood, because what's the difference between an autonomous, inconsistent agent and a predictable band saw, really?"

* "Apps won't be a thing in the future, it'll be sensors and inconsistent LLM glue all the way down"

Wow. The Beeb is actually reporting on how people hate AI slop. They're not really "both sides"-ing it 😮

A little bit of "is it bad if it's just entertainment?" but no "it's universally fine, deal with it" voices!

AI 'slop' is transforming social media - and there's a backlash

Social media has been flooded with fake, AI-generated images and videos. But will the majority of users actually care?

Yeah, the content warning says it all really. #FGO #DoNOTWant
@FandaSin Ditto. 💡 I have no issues at all… Still, I need space… this is just some Soylent Green or, I don’t know, choose another sci-fi dystopian sh… imho #donotwant

Why in the gods damned fuck is "press and hold" the "summon Google Gemini" shortcut and power off is "power and volume up" by default? 😒

Up until now, I have, with one NOTABLE exception, assessed units in #FGO primarily on their gameplay.

(the exception being Ashiya Douman aka Caster of Limbo to whom I have had a visceral reaction of hatred ever since Epic of Remnant… #DoNOTWant).

But there’s about to be a second…

Even more disturbing is that one of the “heel portraits” (NOT a phrase I was ever expecting to see, let alone use) belongs to MASH and you have to fight her as an NPC to get it. That’s ALL SORTS OF WRONG #FGO #DoNotWant #NoBullyBestGirl
