• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"I can see where they’re coming from, because I don’t love AI slop myself": Nvidia boss plays DLSS 5 good cop after criticism⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In his mind dlss5 isn’t slop.

  “That’s just not what DLSS 5 is trying to do,” he continued. “I showed several examples of it, but DLSS 5 is 3D conditioned, 3D guided. It’s ground truth structure data guided. And so the artist determined the geometry, we are completely truthful to the geometry in every single frame.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US regulator won't follow Europe's lead and stick higher age ratings on games with loot boxes and daily quests, since it might confuse parents⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When they address this in games they should also apply the same age rating to all the ‘collectable’ stuff sold in stores with packages that have random content like magic the gathering, sports cards, and the rest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The worst timeline⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The vast majority of my game time is coop shooters, fighting, and racing games with real life friends on voice chat. We get to chat daily about things without spending an hour or travel each way.

  So for me playing video games is playing with real people. We even play DnD on virtual tabletops some of the time and then play on a real tabletop in person when our schedules match up.

  You should pay them more if you are remixing their voices with AI to expand how much time their work is used in the game.

  HDD being used for SSD is like using a floppy disk icon for saving data to a HDD!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'The Most Dejected I’ve Ever Felt:' Harassers Made Nude AI Images of Her, Then Started an OnlyFans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is absolutely horrible and I wish the media would stop working things as if genAI have xray specs that can reveal what is underneath clothing.

  Someone used AI to remove her clothing in the original photo.

  Someone used AI to generate a hypothetical nude based on the original photo. They made fake nudes of her for the purpose of harassment, yes, but they did not magically create actual nudes of her. The punishment should be the same as releasing nudes against her will, but terminology like ‘remove clothes’ makes it sound like genAI can magically create real nudes of someone.

  I like sex.

  I don’t like companies forcing sex on me so they can collect data to sell ads.

  When the discussions about AI are about the latter, I’m just going to say I don’t like it without needing to clarify.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Larian want to release Divinity in "three to four years", and they're making limited use of generative AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, and construction workers hit nails with hammers before they had nail guns.

  Sometimes tools make doing the same things faster. Using AI to recolor a complex image based on a starting image instead of doing it by hand is just doing the same thing faster, like a lot of other tech that is used intentionally and not just vomiting something based on a few keywords.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t have been surprised if it was only 10% due to the massive backlog available.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Larian want to release Divinity in "three to four years", and they're making limited use of generative AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Are they being replaced or are the same staff using a new tool to do their work faster?

  The increase in staff for writing and scripting suggests using a tool instead of being replaced. Like how a nail gun can be used for the same nunber of employees to do more work faster or to reduce employee headcount depending on the circumstances.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Larian want to release Divinity in "three to four years", and they're making limited use of generative AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m torn on this one because they are using it as a tool similar to digital artwork in place of hand drawn animation, not as a replacement for people.

  In less positive news, Larian are reportedly making limited internal use of generative AI for tasks such as concept art development and internal presentations.

  In fact, they are hiring more people.

  For this, they’re enlisting a lot more writers and scripters - Larian currently employ 530 people across seven locations, including their recently founded Warsaw studio.

  The less salubrious side of all this is that Larian have apparently been “pushing hard on generative AI”, in Schreier’s phrase, using generative AI tools “to explore ideas, flesh out PowerPoint presentations, develop concept art and write placeholder text”.

  This is the one approach that I think AI is fine for, quick mock ups to explore an idea and then going back and doing it from scratch for real. Well, if they are using local models which the article doesn’t mention as if they are using one of the major slop promoters that would undermine the otherwise responsible approach.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helldivers 2 install size reduction effort yields 131GB in cuts, and you can try the slim build right now⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good, the install size was ridiculous and this will also increase the likelihood of other games who took a similar bloat approach for HDDs might double check their assumptions and possibly pare down their duplication as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] Should this community also cover the Steam Machine and/or Steam Frame?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You've convinced me! Instead og a general gaming community where people post about games on more then one platform we should have separate communities for the Sega Saturn, Playstation, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, Nintendo, SuperNintendo, GameBoy, GameboyColor, NintendoDS...

  Or maybe the name not being perfect is ok since it was started before other stem devices existed? Pretty sure the display name can be changed even if the community address doesn't.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] Should this community also cover the Steam Machine and/or Steam Frame?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, it makes sense to expand the community to be steam devices as a whole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] Should this community also cover the Steam Machine and/or Steam Frame?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Spreading converstion to many different communities only makes sense if one community is oversaturated with content.
