*Shouts about the sublime grandeur of the Toyota Century from the mountaintops*

Jalopnik can do as Jalopnik pleases, even tell hard truths about things that might make you uncomfortable—-in the interest of informing its broader audience. Jalopnik reports on all vehicles of all sorts, be they cars, trucks, cybertrucks (sigh) , planes, and yes, even the odd yacht. That they choose to report on…

Makes me think of, “The Beforetimes”

How about the fuck not?!

Thankfully, whatever nuclear codes he once had access to are no longer valid. Each President gets their very own sets, and Trump is no longer in the chain of command so there’s that too. However, there may still be a great many things he could reveal to our adversaries, which is a very significant risk, and I do not…

Fair point. I just do not want them to achieve AGI. Ever. All these baby steps they are taking now may one day add up to that, but by then, even the half-present rails and regulators we have now may not exist. They are playing with a fire that no hose can put out.

I just do not want anything to do with this AI stuff. It is just the latest fad, like Bitcoin or NFTs, but has the potential to cause more damage across several industries if left unregulated and unchecked. Silicon Valley (or Redmond for that matter) cannot regulate itself, and our Congress are just not up to the task…

This sounds like an industry plant article by the Amazon, Netflix, Apple, Disney clique that wants us to own nothing and stream everything ad infinitum. Just saying.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this graphic! The maths of it all are all there, and that makes perfect sense.

And here I was considering buying a PS5 to just play Tekken 8 and FFVII: Rebirth. Maybe just sit on my coins a little bit longer!?

I am with you in that simply increasing the resolution of images does not make them ‘better.’ Contrast, to dynamic range, to brightness in relation to ambient lighting are all significant factors in reproducing a realistic image, and sooner or later, these displays will bridge the uncanny valley, but we just are not…

*Leans in*

Ah, had not thought of that. Makes perfect sense, but we are swiftly approaching the resolution limit of our eyeballs in relation to VR headsets. Another few generations, and we will not be able to discern the difference from upgrade to upgrade in terms of resolution, so they’ll probably just over-inundate us with…

Unfortunately, 8K is inevitable, and Japan has been steadily laying the groundwork for such a shift since late 2018/early 2019 when they first began broadcasting with such fidelity:

I don’t believe that PSSR is enough to sell enough to upsell on another system, on any planet, this late into the PS5's lifecycle, especially if there will be scant games who can leverage the extra juice. Now, if the vanilla PS5 was found to secretly have the ability to be upgraded to work this PSSR magic with some…

Bingo. Sooner or later, we are going to get to the PS9 that we were promised all those years ago. But will it have all the promised features, and will the shareholders ever be happy? The cult of those who expect infinite growth is as corrosive as it is cancerous.

Ah, perhaps that is it. This is SEGA’s “Blast Processing” all over again. In theory, AI could upscale and dynamically increase/decrease the frame rate more efficiently than current methods, but like you said, all it might do is ‘force’ a solid 60FPS on games that might otherwise make things stutter, which is....still…

Meh. Bleh. Fleh

At some point, you just have to separate the wheat from the chaff. Not all businesses are built or meant to last forever. In fact, most of the current Fortune 500 will cease to exist outside of mergers, failures, and otherwise, in just a few decade’s time. They will be replaced by new companies, of course, but this is…

Multiple things can intersect and be true at once if you consider the history at play here.
