Oh wow. They made an emoji of Charlie Kirk?

That is interesting. Thanks for the extra info!

Huh, I wasn’t aware that 4090s use similar tech. That sheds light on a few things. Thanks!

If it were contained in some way, that would make sense to me, but it’s free to roam as far as I can see. As for the hay mat, that still seems strange to me, but fair enough.

The game is rendered at a lower resolution, this saves a lot of resources.

Then dedicated AI cores or even special AI scaler chips get used to upscale the image back to the requested resolution.

I get that much. Or at least, I get that’s the intention.

This is a fixed cost and can be done with little power since the components are designed to do this task.

This us the part I struggle to believe/understand. I’m roughly aware of how resource intensive upscaling is on locally hosted models. The necessary tech/resources to do that to 4k+ in real time (120+ fps) seems at least equivalent, if not more expensive, to just rendering it that way in the first place. Are these “scaler chips” really that much more advanced/efficient?

Further questions aside, I appreciate the explanation. Thanks!

Is there an eli5 on how “ai upscaling” is less (or even equally) technologically demanding than just putting in better hardware?

They have a mat, on a mat, on a carpet…

This is why I suck at interior design. It all seems so asinine to me.

I feel for these studios getting treated like crap. With these shutdowns from corps like MS and Embracer, I can only hope that indie devs learn the hard lessons taught here that conglomerates can never be trusted to operate in the interest of their subsidiaries. All buyouts are to these corps is the addition of “assets” to their spreadsheet, to be ditched the moment it’s more convenient than keeping them around.

I’m not blaming employees here, but if GS is specifically marketing older games, they should be taking measures to ensure authenticity. Not that I think anyone should trust GS at this point. Still good to hold them accountable.

He threw $44 billion at it for the right to destroy it. It wasnt worth that much.

I turned my tab habit into a bookmark habit. Equally useful (ie not very), but far less messy.

The pauses are there because it’s not a “laugh track”, it’s a live audience. That’s not to say it’s 100% genuine laughter, but they’re pausing so the laughter doesn’t bury the dialogue.

Weird how many “false positives” they get. Uncanny.

They’ve literally already released sequels, with another coming in September.

“Didn’t forget”? They never stopped.

I’m not arguing one way or another

You literally were.

Lol, “insufferable”. News flash - there’s no “reason” to care about anything. Learn to find enjoyment in life where you can. You don’t get a reward for choosing to be miserable the whole time.

Cake Day is from birthdays, mate. You know? That annual celebration of creation where there’s usually cake?

Stop letting spez live in your head and just enjoy where you’re at.

Not to say that anything about the project is good, but the first human implantee is very much alive.

Gotta get some clarifying boluses for that.
