@aparrish this stuff is so fundamentally not why I got into computer graphics. writing a byte into a framebuffer and having it show up on screen is fucking magic. putting some data into a buffer on a GPU and writing a shader and seeing something cool is fucking magic. waiting on an american corporation's black box to interpret "complex scene semantics" to decide what to display is depressingly empty. it's a man in the middle attack on the creative process and it fucking sucks.

what they wrote: "The AI model is trained end to end to understand complex scene semantics such as characters, hair, fabric and translucent skin"

what we understand: "this model is going to do racist and sexist things on previously unimaginable scales"

etc etc

We have choices.

We can bankrupt our transportation system while repairing car roads.
We can buy giant vehicles for everyday errands.
We can pay high gas prices.

Or we can build reliable transit & wide, safe, connected bike lanes.

It's our future. Speak up for what you need.

I'm tired of evil.
I'm tired of stupid.
I'm tired of incompetence.
I'm tired of self-righteous unrepentant, proud racism and sexism.
It's all exhausting.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Also, fuck Digital Foundry. Like, seriously. That level of oozing over shit Nvidia peddles is disgusting. (and not new for them)

We need to separate “tech” companies from videogames. This level of ghoulishness is insufferable. This is not progress in visual tech. This is defacing of an art form by people with ugly souls.

RE: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@yurisizov/116240441023829664

Your reminder that realism is not a universal creative goal. In fact, realism is rarely the most important art goal, even when it hits the list.

Anyone telling you a machine’s realism matters more than human agency and human choices in creation doesn’t understand what they’re working (read: fucking) with.

This is soul crushing.
