I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all Americans on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This anniversary stands as an invitation not only to celebrate the nation’s remarkable journey, but also to reflect upon the responsibilities that the sons and daughters of this country bear to one another, and to the generations who will inherit the nation that is being shaped today. https://t.co/jIio4BBg9v
Are you telling me that if someone steals all the creative work of authors and musicians and artists, uses it to train a machine to put those people out of work, enables the creation of countless bots attacking and harassing people who point out the moral wrongness of it, essentially bribes a politician to support a 10-year ban on regulating their industry, enables the government to use their program to spy on its citizens and wage war on other countries, and says they’re going to put everyone out of work but, no, they have no idea how people are going to survive, THEY are the victim when there’s blowback?
Funny ol’ world.
'Well actually Jon, you can just turn off and ignore DLSS5'
Ok, sure, can I also turn off the massively inflated prices of PC parts caused by Nvidia fucking up the market as part of its huge AI push that's closely tied to DLSS5's AI models?
Oh, so I can't just ignore it then.
I DONT WANT DLSS 5 I WANT TO BE ABLE TO BUY COMPUTER PARTS FOR A REASONABLE AMOUNT AND I WANT THE DEVS USING UE5 TO FUCKING OPTIMIZE IT BEFORE PUBLISHING FOR PC YOU FUCKS
Why would you be?
The tech is impressive, there’s no denying that (when it doesn’t look like a Snapchat filter anyway). But to blanket artistry with a computer’s idea of what “real” looks like will only lead to the following:
- continued decline of style
- inconsistent visuals
- increased divide in tech affordability for consumers as more AI gobbles up resources
- more corporatization of the medium with pressure to use this as a crutch for meeting deadlines
- a complete loss of passion or innovation in game development “AI will just regurgitate something for us”
This is the corporate-approved trimming of art for profit VERY thinly veiled as pro consumer, and outside of the usual AI wood-gobbler accounts people see through this attempt to deceive.

Rivals tournament with a 40K prize pool : ''The vibes are off, we are throwing the match''
Typpa performance you'd see at a local FGC tournament when there's two twix bars on the line:
Zohran Mamdani is a good politician but I cannot look past his personal beliefs.
In 2025 how have we let someone have such a huge platform while supporting such a terrible organisation. I can accept a lot of things but supporting Arsenal is where I draw the line.
If only there had been some sort of sign people with disabilities were not going to be respected, we could've stopped this before it got to this point.
