Pivot to Cron?

I assume you're aware of the DLSS 5 shitshow but I'll send some links anyway (I'm helping!).

NVIDIA revealed DLSS 5 at their NVIDIA GTC conference. It's slop for video games. Game goes in, AI "enhancements" come out, game looks "better" than ever before.

Digital Foundry's video shamelessly glazing NVIDIA's newest tech to slopify video games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZlwTtgbgVA

Literally everyone hates it and a layperson can see it's shit. That DF, *the* "video game visuals and tech analysis" guys, who count framerates and are aghast if a game's 1080p upscaled to 4k instead of true 4k, apparently see no problem is mindboggling. Favorite YT comment: "I can't believe the words I'm hearing over the footage I'm seeing."

This isn't the first time Digital Foundry's been uncannily positive on NVIDIA products. Being independent is expensive, it turns out.

Is NVIDIA releasing AI slop? No, it's the gamers who are wrong: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/jensen-huang-says-gamers-are-completely-wrong-about-dlss-5-nvidia-ceo-responds-to-dlss-5-backlash

Digital Foundry's Q+A/Apology Video afterwards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dTTfjBAFzc

Funniest observation: "We should have waited to see what the reaction would be" Ah, yes, if we knew everybody hated this shit and we'd go viral for being tasteless, shills, or both, we would have not shared a video of us being tasteless, shills, or both.

Look how smart I am! See, I paste my horrible ideas into the head-patting machine, and it tells me I'm right and a genius and that the idea will totally work. You should try getting your head patted by the head-patting machine too.

@jplebreton @davidgerard

The amount of damage done by techbros convincing themselves that they are very smart, while being the dumbest and most credible people alive for any sort of buzz that vaguely promises to tell them they're special, has been catastrophic for society as a whole.

@davidgerard

Hey, man, tech is apolitical. The Torment Nexus COULD be used to MAYBE torment people, sure, and a knife COULD be used to MAYBE stab someone. Focus on the exciting stuff the Torment Nexus Project is building.

If demanding people you have absolutely no connection with, to police their own posting for you specifically, regarding posting that you weren't the audience for is your modus operandi, I would say: yes, please stop using mastodon and leave us all alone.

@reflex @davidgerard

> Anyway, back to Catodon: I have been working on this for a little over a week, practically non-stop

I guess it's pretty easy to work on something non-stop when you have the brain-drain machine work nonstop on your behalf.

@rysiek @sarah

Weird yet predictable that @firefoxwebdevs replies all over the place playing stupid word games and pithy semantics, but leaves this unreplied to.

I'm starting to think, maybe, this guy isn't interested in honest discussion!
