I’m sure the corporations owning the development studios will make sure their slaves will still create great art and optimize it, instead of just relying on a big tech to solve their problem of paying for professionals.

You should never ever blindly thank soldiers for their service. You have no idea what horrible things they have done.

So no original quality in any option, only worse or AI “enhanced” as I said: enshittified. They’re trying to push the “enhanced” shit by lowering the quality of the original vision.

And that’s a good thing. Why believe in fairytales?

I guess you didn’t bother to read the article.

“This process is so refined that the output can either provide a more realistic version on top of the base texture layer that the game uses or maintain the same texture appearance for significant VRAM savings.”

What is more “realistic version on top of the base texture layer” if not AI enshittification? It either compresses the textures, when has that ever maintained the original quality, or layers AI layer of “better” textures on top of the original ones. Shit vs shit.

Textures are created by visual artists, this technology shits all over that work.

Yet another AI enshittification on top of visual artists hard work.

“NTC drastically reduces VRAM usage by emulating textures, allowing for either much lower VRAM consumption or significantly enhanced material appearance, depending on the game developer’s goals.”

We are just emulating textures, trust me bro.

Just a late night side eye, “where is my activation ball?”

Why should anyone listen to yet another religious nut?

Thanks! She’s 11 years old named Puusti.

Majestic.

Most likely the last time she ever saw him.

Notice how the bastard calls daycare, Medicaid, Medicare etc. “all these little scams.”

I’d like to buy more European, but if I need to use some translation software to use the online shops that gets pretty tedious fast.

Translating the website as it updates is smaller inconvenience to Otto than it is to millions of potential buyers.

Their biggest competitor Amazon.de will cater to people who can’t understand German language.

Hopefully they will serve English language users in the near future.

Everyone in the U.S.A will be renamed as Donald J. Trump junior!

Learn to use AI if you have to, but keep up with the skills you already have. Even learn new things if using AI gives you time to do so.

When the inevitable AI crash comes, you’ll be even more valuable.

Of course they let the Russian tanker trough.

Seeing how well Iran did actually close and keep selectively closed the Strait of Hormuz it seems fair to give them the sovereignty.

Why not both?
