Food packaging also really irks me. Technically, it has a use beyond being thrown away, but there’s just so much of it. You can readily find products in the shops that should be advertised as “plastic trash” and they just stuck a bit of food inside to keep it in shape…

It amuses me that the joke wouldn’t have really worked without that rather pronounced depiction of an ass.

Judging from the text on the left, with it not doing animal testing etc., it looks like it targets more ‘conscious’ consumers in general…

Found this on Wikipedia:

Deionized water is very often used as an ingredient in many cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. “Aqua” is the standard name for water in the International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients standard, which is mandatory on product labels in some countries.

Yeah, when something like that is posted about my country, it’s usually just in one specific town and quite likely a pilot project, too…

Personally, I say “there is no god”, because I also say “there is no pink space unicorn hiding behind Pluto”. I don’t know either for sure, but if a kid asks me and I start humming and hawing whether there might be pink space unicorns behind Pluto, then that sends entirely the wrong message.

So, the difference between agnosticism and atheism is pure semantics to me. I do not claim to know that there is no god. But I assume there is no god until proven otherwise.

Instant messengers.

Oh man, I use a shopping list app, which lets you sort the products into aisles, so that you can just walk through the store and complete the checklist top-to-bottom as you visit each aisle.

This would be excellent for that.

Dungeon Lawl Stone Soup 🙃

I think, the problem is that Nvidia has two customer groups. Those that buy their products and those that buy their stock options. Nvidia can produce garbage that completely misses the point of real-world usage, so long as they can convince investors that other investors will join the pyramid scheme. And for that, it just has to look like impressive tech, not actually good or artistically meaningful.

Will it smooth out a wall that is supposed to look like it can be destroyed?

Yeah, at the very least, it will throw a whole bunch of details into the general area, which will make it harder to tell what’s interactable.

We’ve had photorealistic games before, by taking literal photographs and using those as point-and-click levels. You practically don’t see that anymore these days, because not being able to tell what’s interactable was a major weakness.

Doesn’t mean that DLSS 5 or the like will strictly have the same problem, but it certainly feels like these companies are trying to throw in photorealism again, with no regards for the cost.

Oh, is it now? ಠ_ಠ

Is it really now? (ಥ﹏ಥ)

Haha, just kidding. ʕ ᵔᴥᵔ ʔ

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ is probably my second-most used as well. That and ಠ_ಠ are certainly some of the emotions of all time, and you can’t really express them with emojis or text.

🤷 is so weak compared to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ as well.

I mean, yeah, but you’re kind of saying what the others here were saying, too, in that when something fits the anywhere close to the “old hag” category, that the probabilities will shove it entirely towards “old hag”.

That it’s somewhat fitting for this character, I would expect to be coincidence. Like, maybe they did actually give the image generator somewhat of a system prompt for this demo, that it should make her look extra wrinkly.
But yeah, shoving all depictions of women either towards young model or old hag is quite emblematic of these image generators, so personally, I don’t think, it was even necessary…

Don’t think the playable characters are supposed to be creepy, but yeah, a yassified zombie would probably fit right in. 😅

Never cared for realism in games to begin with, so don’t particularly care to comment on how it looks, but I’ve been thinking that I genuinely find it creepy.

Not just Uncanny Valley material, but also having these faces stare at you, always fully lit, it just gives me the creeps, kind of like a panopticon situation.
I don’t fucking know, if that’s my own trauma playing into that, where for the longest time, people looking at me generally meant they’re about to bully me.

But either way, I’m about to head to bed and genuinely feel like there’s a 20% chance I’ll have a mild nightmare from that shit.
This whole AI craze has been a wild ride of all kinds of nightmare fuel, from depictions with missing/additional limbs to the weirdest warping of objects+limbs in those fucking generated videos. And the worst part is that some folks seem to just not see it or not want to see it, so they keep using the nightmare generators.

Everything I implement at work is open source because I don’t want to wait for a purchase approval.

Just to say, though, I feel like 99% of the software we deploy is open-source for that exact reason. Projects generally start out small, where you try to evaluate some concept. You’re not gonna spend months to go through the purchase process of some proprietary tool, if you can help it…

This is already the second meme I’ve seen with that joke, just different examples. Seems like the invasion in the Middle East triggers a whole lot of dejavuing. 🥴

Yeah, there’s a bias in these image generator AIs, because model photographs are:

• easy to get in bulk and in relatively high resolution etc.,
• relatively uniform (even lighting, facial symmetry etc.), meaning they reinforce existing patterns in the training data, and
• relatively easy to generate good-looking results with them, for obvious reasons, so more likely to be optimized towards by anyone involved in the training.
