from the articles I've found it sounds like they're comparing it to native...

Having to send full frames off of the GPU for extra processing has got to come with some extra latency/problems compared to just doing it actually on the gpu... and I'd be shocked if they have motion vectors and other engine stuff that DLSS has that would require the games to be specifically modified for this adaptation. IDK, but I don't think we have enough details about this to really judge whether its useful or not, although I'm leaning on the side of 'not' for this particular implementation. They never showed any actual comparisons to dlss either.

As a side note, I found this other article on the same topic where they obviously didn't know what they were talking about and mixed up frame rates and power consumption, its very entertaining to read

The NPU was able to lower the frame rate in Cyberpunk from 263.2 to 205.3, saving 22% on power consumption, and probably making fan noise less noticeable. In Final Fantasy, frame rates dropped from 338.6 to 262.9, resulting in a power saving of 22.4% according to PowerColor's display. Power consumption also dropped considerably, as it shows Final Fantasy consuming 338W without the NPU, and 261W with it enabled.

We have plenty of real uses for ray tracing right now, from blender to whatever that avatar game was doing to lumen to partial rt to full path tracing, you just can't do real time GI with any semblance of fine detail without RT from what I've seen (although the lumen sdf mode gets pretty close)

although the rt cores themselves are more debatably useful, they still give a decent performance boost most of the time over "software" rt

Yeah, you also have to deal with the latency with the cloud, which is a big problem for a lot of possible applications

well, i think a lot of these cpus come with a dedicated npu, idk if it would be more efficient than the tensor cores on an nvidia gpu for example though

edit: whatever npu they put in does have the advantage of being able to access your full cpu ram though, so I could see it might be kinda useful for things other than custom zoom background effects

it doesn't seem all that hard to make, as long as you don't mind the severely reduced flexibility in capacity and glass bottles shattering against each other at the bottom

Wow, I'm glad I have auto-renew enabled.

I was talking more about whether the existence of an image AI, regardless of the images it generates, breaks copyright law because of how it was trained on copyrighted images

as someone who never really experienced the old internet, all I hear are the positive sides and I feel like the guy in xkcd 239

Unions would probably work, as long as you get some people the company doesn't want to replace in there too

Maybe also federal regulations, although would probably just slow it because models are being made all around the world, including places like Russia and China that the US and EU don't have legal influence over

Also, it might be just me, but it feels like generative AI progress has really slowed, it almost feels like we're approaching the point where we've squeezed the most out of the hardware we have and now we just have to wait for the hardware to get better

Well, current law is not written with AI in mind, so what current law says about the legality of AI doesn't reflect its morality or how we should regulate it in the future

The fact that I can go on eBay and get an actually usable laptop for $40

Like, I was playing around with freecad on it a couple days ago. It just works. The fact that I can get a fully functional personal computer for cheaper than 8 hamburgers is crazy.

Yea, without an archive the internet is probably the least permanent form of media we’ve invented so far

The intent comes from the person who writes the prompt and selects/refines the most fitting image it makes

Would still end with him getting arrested/impeached though, I guess he could do it as a self-sacrifice thing and leave Harris to run

I think it’s supposed to be congress’s responsibility to do that, but I guess there’s enough conservatives there to prevent that.

Edit: you would need at least 1/3 of senate republicans to agree to impeach a justice

He can still probably get impeached, if it’s something congress doesn’t like

Roosevelt needed the support of congress for that, which Biden doesn’t have. Unless you want him to order assassins or a military coup, I don’t think there’s anything he can do.

Because the president doesn’t have official powers to reform the court
