I never understood this attitude from native speakers towards their own language. I am a fresh NL citizen, and have struggled SO MUCH to assimilate into society largely due to this prevalent mentality of "dutch sux actually, we can all speak english amirite guys??" its so bafflingly self-destructive to your own culture. But go off I guess.

I am watching the same videos. I simply fundamentally disagree with the premise that "studio lighting everywhere" = better and photo-realistic. But besides all of that, most video games do not actually go for photo-realism as an artistic direction, they bake their lighting in certain ways, intentionally add shadow to create ambience, plus 10000 other things I am unqualified to discuss here. But again, feel free to enjoy what the AI sloppinators are offering, you are on the winning side of that battle as far as investments and bubble-making goes. I simply gave my view on it and regret the direction we are collectively taking, willingly or kicking and screaming towards infinite dogshit.

I hope we take a moment in the future to dissect the fascinating minds of AI tech bros, who have no clue what the heck they are talking about. You see a clear last gen AI yassifier that screws lighting in scenes and looks horrid in motion, and your prn-addeled brain thinks: "GENERATIONAL LEAP! LET THE GOON GAMES BEGIN!" In a way I pray for the coming end.

what does that even mean? Remakes have artists working with original creators to remodel characters in a way that keeps the original art's spirit, failing which they do get the backlash they deserve. This prnified AI filter "touch-up" is not the upgrade you AI evangelists think it is. But keep it coming, I'm sure once we've burned through enough forests we'll reach the desired outcomes.

Did you even read the article? No, even just the Title? Nothing is ever impressive I guess. Certainly not a 60 years running manufacturing process where your childhood pieces can be passed down and combined seamlessly with a set you just bought for your kid. So trivial and easy to do guys.

Good reductio, and good showcase of how little you know of your true nature. This is just a disagreement on the fundamental nature and needs of a human being. If you think an eternity would go great for you, more power to you. We'll see when/if that happens who's right, and who's delusional. Its pointless to make my case to transhumanist techbros on this website.

Yeah, that's not eternity. And if you read the article at all you'd know the argument is not against life extension, it's about having constraints, horizons, and deadlines to give meaning and urgency to things.

It's always the people who have no clue what they're talking about, whether in physiology or philosophy, who insist on speaking so confidently on matters of physical activity and the meaning of life. No, your reductionary argument about the purpose of something like the gym should not be "remembered". People partake in labor and even seek hardships for many individual reasons, most of which do not involve "faking" anything at all. Keep inhaling the data-ist technobro coolaid though, it's awesome to be always online.

Goons arresting gooners. In the year of our Lord.

Seems to be an awful lot of that recently to justify anything, from mass surveillance to crypto fascism. "Its just how things are guys, law of nature!". As citizens of a civilized society, we collectively get to shape and orient how legislation is put into practice. But ofc, if all you and people like you have to offer is pre-deterministic fallacies, then we are indeed screwed.

Not sure why this is getting downvoted, you are absolutely correct. The unhinged weirdos are still a minority, but less and less ashamed of their own behavior online. No doubt that dev is better off remaining unnamed in this instance.

And it works the way things are unfolding since the start of this year, highly knowledgeable person sir?

Yeah and that's a dystopian dogshit reality to aim for. (Not necessarily implying you are saying that)
