This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Best comment about this was from a video posted yesterday:
Nvidia keeps saying that this tech is still a work in progress, yet they made the decision to release a demo in its current state...
GenAI is the ultimate demoware. Bro, it’ll get better. Just look how good it is now.
Just one more data center, bro! Promise!
As microslop was constantly saying last year, LLMs and their ilk are a product in search of an application.
Every company is desperate to find anything these garbage machines can do well enough to validate the trillion or so dollars pumped into them.
Late edit: Also, Salesforce is literally mostly about barely functional tech with shiny demos. Thats why there is a consulting and customization industry worrth at least 10s if not 100s of billions that supports just their software.
That's clearly the insane part, like okay it can be a bit helpful in this or that scenario, but they spent like every person on earth would want to pay 250 euros a month for it...
Well, if it isn't little Lisa Slopson! The tech bros answer to a QUESTION NO ONE ASKED!?
Nslopia
But then Nvidia really does not need to. They sell hardware. They need to design new better hardware and make good drivers. But it's never enough, is it? It always has to be more, like cancer.
Yes because it makes people talk about that instead of their love affair with Palantir and their passionate support for Israel.
Whoever decided to showcase DLSS5 in it‘s current form is probably getting a raise and a nice bonus for this diversion.
All good, I can hate them for more than one thing!
So they have this nice 3D card, which they had a hand in inventing and "perfecting" to render the entire 3D scene in beautiful, stunning detail, and then another card with AI instructions that totally ignores all of that just happened, takes a screenshot and puts a filter on it in real time basically. What a massive waste of power and computation.
img2img slop filter for every frame in real time. Great job nvidia what a dumb waste of resources.
Further confirming this is not meant to ever be used by actual gamers, and instead exists only to advertise real time genAI modification to existing video media.
I'm not sure why this is such a big deal. It's only going to affect the 7 or 8 people in the world that can afford the 2 top of the line graphics cards and the RAM required to run it.
This is a culmination of years in which gamers kept getting ignored when they ask for some consideration to their needs like more memory, better Linux drivers, and smaller form factors. Instead we get hit with their server farm AI slop runoff and told this is what we want. To me it's an insult for wanting something that's more specialized to gaming and graphical work rather than some LLM platform.
Ahh,I get it now. It's not about them creating something that sucks, it's about them creating something that sucks instead of something else we've been asking for that would be actually useful. Thanks for filling in the missing piece.
Well, I hate the AI slop look it outputs and until now DLSS was supposed to increase performance, now it does the exact opposite. Also fuck Nvidia, they deserve all the hate .
Wasn't DLSS working fine before, wtf did they do to it?
Haven't you heard? Everything must contain generative AI now.
DLSS stands for "deep learning super scaling." It was always gen-ai. Those extra details weren't being revealed, they were being generated.
While true, the way DLSS 2/3/4 does it is to take a bunch of low res renders of the game over time while wiggling the camera very slightly, and stitch them all together to generate a new, higher res image that very closely matches what the original would have looked like. The GenAI part is essentially just a very advanced temporal blending function that's really good at detecting and smoothing out edges.
DLSS 5 then runs an AI Instagram filter on top of the frame for "enhanced visuals", because obviously we want our games to look like cheap AI slop.
Wtf did they do to it.
✨AI ✨
But it was working fine and probably cheaper, this makes it worse. Where the fuck is QA?
Where the fuck is QA?
✨ They replaced them with AI ✨
"Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked."
The waste is the point.
It needs to be more expensive, because that can be leveraged for higher valuations.
Instead of doing this bullshit, can we just have regular DLSS be actually good? I can't stand turning it on for my handheld because it's a blurry, smeary mess as is.
You might be thinking of FSR? I don't know of any handhelds that support DLSS as they all use AMD hardware, and they also don't support the latest AMD RDNA tech so you're such with crappy FSR 2 most of the time which is indeed a horrible blurry glitchy mess.
The Switch 2 has it since it’s the only Nvidia handheld as far as I know.
Ah you're right. I was using DLSS as a catch all term forgetting fsr is the AMD version
So if i understood this clearly, because of halucinations during gameplay there can be things which aren't actually there?
like you see that guys haircut from the front, you move to the side ingame, and it disapears? or things in the distance change or disapear when you get closed to them?
Yes, or like we saw in the demo, someone's arm disappears, a ball becomes a blurry shapeless blob, and many others.
This tech is the same tech that powers other ""Generative AI"", meaning exact the issues with asking for a hand and getting one with 7.5 fingers can now happen in real time, in video games supporting DLSS 5.
It is straight up an AI slop filter over top of a game. There's not much more to say about it.
It already happened in the actual demo pictures nvidia themselves provided. Colors appearing out of nowhere, details showing up or decor elements disappearing, etc.
It's a shitshow, and it was the best they could garner in a finely controlled environment.
Most of the AI industry is currently stuck in a kind of uncanny valley where it's close enough to fool people who don't care about details or who so desperately want to make money that they deny the reality that these AIs aren't actually good at very much.
But there's been so much money invested in it that they are desperate to make it generate some revenue and profit and keep shoving it into things, hoping that their thing will be the one the public finally latches on to.
It's also management types that really bought in to it. The kind of managers that don't know shit and will make impossible requests, or think something simple is hard and something hard is simple because they don't actually know much about the jobs they are managing. But they do have the power to direct those under them to use the AIs as well as get of or dismiss the opinions of those pointing out the emperor has no clothes.
Right now, they are hoping to find that substance that will keep the AI bubble from popping. But IMO the problem is fundamental to the big data approach to AI of "throw a ton of data at a generic correlation engine and hope that it ends up smart".
Breaking news: this slop is sloppy
I don't know what DLSS 6 will look like...but I know that DLSS 7 will be mostly stick figures :D
