My attempt to rephrase it based on how I understood it after listening to that section of the podcast (which I cannot recommend, he’s absolutely just spouting marketing shit):

You know, all of the AI-generated content increasingly looks similar, the faces generated are all beautiful in the same way, and so I’m empathetic towards what videogame fans are thinking about DLSS5

I do think there is a real possibility to do something interesting with that idea - Hellblade could probably use it well - but seeing it marketed for stuff like the Elder Scrolls and Fifa is way off from that

Likewise

That’s ok, I can paste what you were trying to compare here

Are you trying to say that the because the frames have differently-shaped facial features, my argument that the filter changed the shapes of facial features is wrong? If not, what are you saying?

I’m not seeing the relevance of your new video.

To show that even at the lower resolution, the eyes and lips are still changing shape

I’m not talking about texturing details or lighting. I’m talking about her eyes and lips being different shapes and sizes.

Your images are coming from different frames

I mean, they’re the images that Nvidia chose to present as the comparison, but watching the video I do not see her eyes and lips growing like that in the idle animation

Imgur isn’t available in the UK, I’m afraid

With all due respect, I don’t think this shows what you think it shows. Here is that exact video downloaded, zoomed in, and brightened to clarify it: https://streamable.com/hpxx37

Smooth fades with the brightness upped for visibility: left eye, right eye, lips

Here are the source images for you: DLSS off and DLSS on

Streamable is just a video uploading site, you can put any video file on there for free (though it will be deleted after a while). I used OBS to screen-record, it’s free and fairly simple

but if you say, place it around a fixed reference, it is clear they remain the same size.

Here’s a screen recording of me doing exactly that and getting results that do not match what you’re saying

I’d suggest taking a look at the comparisons on Nvidia’s website, because it really makes it obvious how much this is changing things https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/dlss5-breakthrough-in-visual-fidelity-for-games/

If we look at the one that’s in the article thumbnail, the blonde woman in Resident Evil, you can see it has made significant changes to her face: her eyes are bigger and the outside corners of them have been moved up, and her lips are much fuller

Edit: also it straight up changes the skin colour of the black football player in an orange shirt, and that’s presumably meant to be a representation of a specific real person. It’s not even a lighting change either, because the shirt is the exact same colour. It’s only his skin that changes

Upscaling is supposed to look like the same thing at a higher resolution, whereas this is specifically making a point about looking different

I’m so glad that the GDP of a medium-sized country has gone into turning up the contrast on some videogames a little bit

It’s not a game, it’s an archive of games

It has, but the article is specifically associating this bill with the more recent reveals about Peter Mandelson. Both general public awareness of Mandelson’s association with Epstein and his appointment as ambassador to the US that brought that connection to the current government’s attention happened well after the introduction of the bill. The article draws no other connection to Epstein whatsoever, only Mandelson

The article does mention Epstein, but this Bill was first introduced to parliament way back in 2024

Turquoise Cyprus

(More seriously it’d probably be Türkish if you were going to do that, but as far as I’m aware the request at the UN to use the name Türkiye does not seem to have come with a new adjectival form to go with it)

There are others way to achieve those end goals, though. Mutually exclusive paths are usually going to feel much better than some unforeseeable bullshit

From the moon logic puzzle entry on the game’s own page’

Practically every puzzle in the game requires the player to either use highly unconventional logic, or be a psychic:

Can’t open the garage? You’d think you need to find the garage opener, right? Wrong. You need to use a workout machine, then open it with pure strength.

How does one open an envelope? With their hands? Or through a microwave? (Mind, you can open the envelope with your hands — you just shouldn’t, because that tears it, making it unusable for re-mailing, which is crucial for several characters’ paths through the game. It’ll depend on your team composition whether you can get past that or not.)

Yeah fuck this game

As the article says, Mexico said it didn’t want American troops in the country. There is no indication that that happened. The US contribution here, as far as we know just now, is information

Even then, though, Mexico may well decide that even if it doesn’t want US troops, bringing them in to cooperate might be preferable to fighting the US over it when the US is being so belligerent

This title format is gonna be great in six releases’ time

You don’t have to like Cuba’s government to have some sympathy for the people. Countries regularly send food aid to North Korea when its people are starving

Is 30 fps not playable?
