Novel compression method: we take all the textures in the game and describe them as AI image generation prompts.
Then, at load time, we run the generative image AI on the user's computer and thus generate them fresh.
The text descriptions are tiny compared to the images, so we get amazing gains in file size!
Realistically I should be training it on, like, all 90s FPSes, as otherwise the generators model is going to be WAY bigger than the textures themselves would be.
Plus it'd be funny to see Half Life texture influences showing up in Wolf3D

You are a monster.
@foone hahaha let's also not cache them locally so that every time you load the game you get the new psychedelic experience
until the oceans boil next week
@foone You are joking, but... people are already working on the technology.
@foone replacing phone calls by personal speech trained models.
You have to train a model once so that it can replicate your speech. While having to distribute the weights once to so your contacts, in the following you can use highly compressible text instead of audio.
In interstellar space flight this approach has been the modus operandi more or less since the first interplanetary voyage - especially with response delays ruling out interactive communication anyway
