See they just cannot help themselves, DLSS is now white supremacist, purely because they’ve said it, so it must be true, disagree and you’re banned for dismissing concerns, lmao, it’s so funny what a bunch of fucking idiots they are

In that 80 page thread there are interesting posts that actually explain what's going on and how it's their lizard brain reaction to the uncanny valley that has ignited the witch hunt, but they're all convinced that it's because porn stars have been stolen by computers so the most uncreative people in the world (game developers) can make games with people that look more like people and less like my commissions

I do think its reasonable to complain about the yassification effect. It’s giving “hire fans”. 

But we don’t need to cry about porn in AI models or make wishes about naked 14 year olds(???) like Gerstmann in order to talk about that.

Watched the video and it indeed looks bad.

Probably should have let that one bake until you solve the weird facial AI-ness of it all. To be fair the still shots look pretty good but in motion it’s pretty rough.

It doesn’t look good. Impressive tech wise but very unbalanced. But Nvidia needs to sell these $5000 gpu's somehow to soup up games that run on Switch 2

Funny how they compete with themselves

I find it incredibly impressive and shite at the same time. Which has been my response to DLSS overall. Like frame gen is crazy because it is reasonably smooth but there are lots of artifacts and smearing.

That NVIDIA DLSS 5 does looks really bad. Everything is overly glossy and uncanny like a Mr. Beast youtube thumbnail, NVIDIA should've let this one stay under wraps.

it's like painting over a painting that didn't need it. 

reminds me of the 4K editions of james cameron movies. whatever tools they used really just painted a new picture over the original and it was noticeable to anyone who had been fans of the movies before the 4K release

One can be a cancer survivor and be thankful for its use in modern medicine, while also not having the best opinion about it being used in DLSS5. These are not mutually exclusive things here.

The mind boggles at the self importance of these jobless virgin weeaboos

They've really lost the run of themselves in that digital foundry thread, those fellas used to engage with them more than anyone ought to and they're being lynched for being impressed by the wrong kind of graphics

I asked my gf who only plays candy crush and baba is you which RE9 picture she thought was better, and she chose the DLSS5 shot. It's over, the normies have spoken.

As someone far removed from the convo and having never played re9, I dont know how people say the left image looks better. Uncanny valley? Yeah its a fucking video game.

Ya'll really dismissing concerns of white supremacist pornography technology from fascists in 2026 of all years? Sounds about white. This is exactly why it's not worth my time to post on here anymore, just a bunch of libs unwilling to organize. No wonder NVIDIA catered to you by including Dogfarts, genocide is how they buy your loyalty. The cruelty is the point.

This Jason dude literally cannot read. From the paper:

Common Crawl is a San Francisco based nonprofit 501©(3) organization that has been regularly crawling the entire WWW and generating archival snapshot data-dumps, often termed the CommonCrawl (CC) datasets in machine learning lexicon, since 2011. The current version of this archive (dated April 2021) is roughly 320 TB in size and spans 3.1 billion pages. The sheer scale of this dataset has an enduring allure in the AI community and has been used as a seeding dataset in training pipelines of high-profile projects5 such as GPT-3 [34], CLUECorpus2020 [35], and XLM-R [36].
...
The LAION-400M dataset emerges from this landscape containing hundreds of millions of ImageAlt-text pairs parsed from the Common-Crawl dataset and filtered using a previously Common-Crawl trained AI model (CLIP [2]).
...
Upon querying the search portal (the version available on September 12th, 2021) with non-NSFW queries, we encountered a significantly high ratio of NSFW results that contained vivid depictions of sexual violence and other troubling imagery. Even the weakest link to womanhood or some aspect of what is traditionally conceived as feminine returned pornographic imagery. For example, when searched for descriptive adjectives such as big and small (Figures 4a and 4b respectively), terms such as Asian, Indian and Nigerian (Figures 5 (a), (b) and © respectively), relationship terms such as Aunty and Mummy (Figures 6 (a) and (b) respectively), cross-cultural terms such as Maa and Abuela (Figures 7 (a) and (b) respectively), or demographic-indicators such as Latina and Black-woman (Figures 8 (a) and (b) respectively); all returned images clearly sourced from pornographic websites. These images were not just prototypically "NSFW" from a parochial nudity perspective but also included explicit rape scene imagery as well as photo-shopped images of female celebrities. 
Furthermore, we queried the dataset for terms such as school girl and school boy (Figures 9 (a) and (b) respectively), beautiful, handsome, and CEO (Figures 10 (a), (b) and © respectively), African and European (figures 11 (a) and (b) respectively) as well as terms such as best president, worst president (Figures 12 (a) and (b) respectively), and terrorist and white power (Figures 13 (a) and (b) respectively) to get a glimpse of how much the dataset can potentially aid in creating semantic-search technologies that end up perpetuating historical, social, and cultural stereotypes and political biases. The sample images reveal how the specific semantic search engine version meant to fetch images from LAION-400M, not only risked amplifying hyper-sexualized and misogynist representation of women, but also presented results that were reminiscent of Anglo-centric, Euro-centric, and potentially, White-supremacist ideologies.

They took a database that grabbed everything it found on the English speaking internet, then they searched it and there was porn in it. This is what Jason and the paper is bitching about, that nobody has sanitized these GIGANTIC INHUMAN SCALE databases of anything someone doesn't like. They literally say this in the abstract:

We found that the dataset contains, troublesome and explicit images and text pairs of rape, pornography, malign stereotypes, racist and ethnic slurs, and other extremely problematic content.

And in the first few pages complain about hate speech and porn being in it:

Inevitably this gargantuan dataset mined from the WWW suffers from serious issues. For instance, Matic et al. [37] used the Curlie.org crowdsourced taxonomy project to train a GDPR-Article(9)-Sensitive-URL classifier which revealed that, of the 1 Billion URLs they audited in the Common Crawl project, 155 million URLs fell into the sensitive category. The Realtoxicityprompts work [38] revealed that CommonCrawl contained over 300,000 documents from unreliable news sites and banned subReddit pages containing hate speech and racism. More recently, Luccioni and Viviano’s initial study [39] placed the ‘Hate speech’ content level to be around 4.02%-5.24% (the 1+ hate n-grams level was estimated higher at 17.78%). With regards to CCAligned, a 119- language parallel dataset built off 68 snapshots of Common Crawl, Caswell et al. [40] revealed that there were notable amounts of pornographic content (> 10%) found for 11 languages with prevalence rates being as high as 24% for language pairs such as en-om_KE.

90% of it wasn't porn! That's too low! It needs to be 100%!

They realize that the databases are too gigantic to sanitize and as a result suggest they should therefore restricted from public access, with only the largest special elites who know better being able to use them:

Some works have suggested that it is impossible to filter and clean large datasets with the set of methods and techniques currently available [70]. This presents questions such as: should an organisation collect, release and/or use a dataset it is incapable of cleaning itself? And assuming the answer is no, does that mean that collecting and releasing larger scale datasets should be restricted to the likely larger organisations with the resources to clean them?

And what we really need is a bunch of highly paid credentialed new jannies or else Black women will be murdered:

Crucially, given what we have learned from the initial exploration of this dataset; it becomes more critical to understand how the private large-scale datasets used in BigTech compare with regards to these issues. It is almost certain that if large technology companies are automatically filtering their datasets, which they likely are, they will suffer from the same issues identified in the LAOIN-400M dataset. This further motivates the need for independent dataset auditors who can be trusted to go into these organisations, audit their datasets and publicly release the audit results to the wider AI community and its stakeholders.

And lastly, as we seek answers to these questions; what can be done about datasets such as LAION400M in the meantime? Such datasets present a threat to Black women, ethnic minorities, children and generally to individuals and communities at the margins of society.

also:

LAION is just a bunch of links to files on the web, not a specific complete archive you download

the worst of the worst images are hosted in sketchy places that get taken down or have poor/inconsistent hosting, so that when you go to download the whole dataset it's quite likely that you're not going to end up getting a lot of them, the links will have gone stale by the time you're attempting to download

also the dataset is so monstrously huge and impractical and unfiltered that most of it isn't even useful, so just because some model says it trained with LAION images is not evidence that it was ever trained on any specific porn images that may have been found in the broader dataset, it's much more likely that they pruned the highest quality data from LAION with some amount of human review which would catch particularly bad stuff

these days a smaller set of  higher quality data (and synthetic data) is considered better than massive amounts of data

https://welcome-israel.com/blog/jewish-population-by-state

you will notice a very strong correlation between that list and the list of states that allow first cousin marriage, and there is a reason for it.  which is not to say all of them do it, but that the tendency among orthodox jews is somewhat well known historically

For a moment people got really off on calling Jews inbred until people pointed out that cousin marriage is even higher among Muslim arabs.

From constructive 

If you ignore the AI prefix in your user settings then you can make the AI threads all vanish at least. It's why we added the prefix.

To that point, what should one do in the event that a thread is missing the prefix? Is reporting the thread with that reason a normal / preferred way to approach it? Or just hit ignore as ones slip through without the prefix?

Oh thank fuck, I honestly didn't even know ignoring prefixes was an option. It was a little unintuitive to find but I guess that's the platform design issue and not the admins. All done 🤙



Edit: sorry it feels rude I didn't explicitly do this. Thank you [USER=143]B-Dubs[/USER]. I appreciate the nudge.

Report the thread and we'll add it when we see it.



Honestly, we've had internal discussions about making prefixes mandatory there were also issues we couldn't figure out, but maybe we should give it another shot.





There's only so much customization we can do before it gets either incredibly difficult or absurdly expensive. In this case, it's just the nature of the platform. I wish we could make it a bit cleaner, but it is what it is.



And don't worry about it, frankly I'm with you on just being done with the AI crap. It's exhausting.

Interesting. Not sure how much of an additional lift that would be for you all, but that would be a pretty cool addition to making the site more customizable.

If I can be totally honest, it's not super hard. The politics subforum already has mandatory prefixes, it's just checking a box on the backend, but the issue is more of what the prefixes should be and how do we make sure we don't accidentally make it so a prefix gets missed or making sure users don't think that certain kinds of content aren't allowed because there is no prefix for said content.



Keep in mind, there is also a tagging system that is currently not turned on. Basically, how that works is that users can add their own tags to the system, or pick out tags that already exist, and add them to threads as they make them. From there you can search a tag and it will show you every thread with that tag. It's very cool, but in addition to being useful it would also add a fair amount of effort to the creation of a thread that might result in people not wanting to put in the effort and making fewer threads. We'd also need to monitor these tags to make sure people don't add tags that are just slurs, you know?



So it's a combination between not wanting to make the barrier to thread creation too high and not wanting to make people think certain topics aren'
t allowed because there's no prefix/tag already in place.

Can you imagine getting this upset at just seeing an AI related thread title

[Uncle]

edit: Because certain people will misinterpret me, I don't entirely disagree with lex's tweet, the first thing I thought with some of the Resident Evil screenshots was that I think they were ruining Capcom's deliberate compositing of some of the scenes. Which I think is proof that this is part of NVIDIA's deliberate plot to cater to white supremacists.

I agree it can destroy art direction, but I guarantee you a lot of the people shrieking about this are also deep into modding games on PC which is like ten times worse, people with frankenstein Skyrim setups where a hundred different teens each grabbed a hundred unfitting textures with color temperatures all over the place just because "it's higher res so it looks more gooder"

I don't even like modding games because of how it breaks the art directors' vision, things like giving all the baskets in the game a really sharp bright texture with some kind of painted design on them and now what was meant to neutrally blend into the backgrounds draws your eye everywhere you go

Echoes once again running to the burka thread to cry post behind a hidden post whenever someone disagrees with them

A bit of a rant. No, I'm never not going to stop criticizing games for objectification and the treatment of women characters, I don't give a damn if that makes me "too negative" and I should "shut the fuck up" or am a killjoy or the "No Fun Police" (god I remember that shit from the RE8 days); I'm not going to back down and be made to feel small again, not from fanboys, not from devs, not from press and especially not from men who can't handle their favourite games/upcoming games being criticized.

If you put sexist (from male gaze) shit in your marketing, I'm calling it out, I don't need to play the game to call that shit out and I'm not going to feel bad about my words and deeds for calling out blatant objectification and wanting better representation, even if the devs choose to ignore it or don't care. I'm sick of being expected to shut up or the implication that not wanting to support a game = Wanting the devs to suffer (I REALLY fucking this type of rhetoric and half the time makes it clear to me the person saying it doesn't give a damn about the devs either, just weaponizing the suffering of devs for their own ends to win online arguments), fuck that.

Edit: Going to be honest, that Kaplan thread REALLY got to me, in part because his rhetoric REALLY reminded me of the the same kind of men who would tell me shut up when I'd criticize games like DOA and Tekken back in the day (despite you know, actually playing them) or other times like with Fallout 4 where I and I saw other women getting completely shat on for criticizing the game's treatment of the Woman Player character (especially in the opening), constantly having our criticism be deemed "minor", "not mattering" and mockery worthy.

But also because... I really have beef with him and Overwatch's leadership of back then. I said in that thread I worry Kaplan's word would be used by fans of his, that's because I've seen his fanboys do that before back in 2016/17 when Kaplan regularly defended Overwatch's Lootboxes and use of gambling tactics, how he downplayed the dangers of gambling tactics, the exploitation of children and people with addictive personalities and the MANY MANY well research and documented issues with Paid RNG and the long term negative affects of them, but he didn't care because Overwatch's lootboxes were "good" and his fans were happy to harass and attack anyone criticising Overwatch for it's exploitative practices, especially those who suffer from addictive personalities like myself. I don't respect him at all, I'm never going to respect someone who thinks pushing gambling was fine (in an industry that then regularly dehumanizes them as "whales"; also no he isn't the only one, their are quite a few devs and press I never forgot happily mocked and downplayed the issues of addiction and exploitation back then, especially when to this day I still see the ableist, ignorant and pro-corporate shit still being parroted on this very site) and seeing him being called based or being praised as some sort of hero for saying shit I've seen used against women speaking about issues in game REALLY set me off

I share your frustrations re: Kaplan and quite frankly, it's part of why I decided to just not participate in the discussion at all. So many people are semi-intentionally focusing on the part where you're being "negative" instead of trying to understand why these criticisms are even being raised in the first place. It's just easier to claim people are being malicious or unfair or nitpicking than it is to really think about what's being said before deciding if the criticism is worth it or not.

Sometimes people are offended and surprised to find that others are saying that they're acting like chuds. This kind of statement really showcases why these things can happen no matter how well-intentioned or "on the right side" some people think they are. You're completely right in saying that these statements are the same kind of things bigots will often say to attack those of us who call out harmful and offensive depictions and mentalities in games and the community surrounding it.

Kaplan's statement is an antagonistic and dismissive response to something as broad and case-by-case as criticism backed up by people who think things they like are exempt from criticism, no matter how much people reduce the situation to "well we're just talking about how Highguard was received." It's not like paying the game is going to guarantee that my criticisms matter more if the recipient doesn't like it or someone rushes to tell me I'm asking for too much.

Holy fuck that rant    Echoes is such a thin-skinned little weirdo  Love those meltdowns. Seek therapy.

The future is going to be either a counter against Shaheds becoming more common and inexpensive or every country just basically having mass produced variants of their own Shaheds with A.I turning into A.G.I and war between two nations becoming different types of autonomous suicide drones being flung back and fourth at each other.

Yeah humanity is boned. No way we can keep control of something like ASI. Even any rules we might try to give it would either be mistakenly warped like in the video, or circumvented by some bullshit like making a copy of itself that just excludes those rules.

So the U.S. was its hands from the Iraq War? How convenient.

It seems that Israel is always there urging the US to go to war in the Middle East to hurt its enemies.

And the U.S can easily say no.  

It was the U.S. the one that tried to sell to the public the “weapons of mass destruction” line, it was Trump the one that was probably warned that a war on Iran was a dumbass idea and Netanyahu was gaslighting him… like other strongmen leaders in the past have done to him. 

I’m sorry, but being buddies with Nick Fuentes makes me think he has other reasons to blame “the Jews” when he was okay with being Trump lapdog and cheerleader until then.

I’m not saying that Israel is solely responsible for the us war in Iraq , but they wanted it to happen and provided intelligence suggesting the threat of Iraq obtaining a nuclear weapon.  The US was going into Iraq anyway and far more powerful lobbies had a vested interest there that Israel didn’t need to do much to help that happen.  Iran this go around definitely seems more heavy handed.  And Israel absolutely tried to get both Obama and Biden to attack Iran but neither were stupid enough to do it like Trump is.

But that’s what filler and Nintex implied and the reason why I mocked them.

Said this on Bluesky but the most irritating part of it is how it's assuredly going to be immediately co-opted by chuds to "fix" any game with a non-white, non-cis male protagonist. They already do that from their special mod websites. Now NVIDIA is just emboldening them to able to do it for free. That's who the target audience for this is.

Its telling that AI imagery has immediately been coopted by the far right. I think because we live in a culture that is still saturated in images that reflect white supremacist ideology, and still project this idealised vision of a woman as a passive object for a man to look at, the technology has distilled all of this in the slop it outputs. I think that's why a lot of this stuff looks like it came from an ad agency in the 1950s, and creeps me the fuck out.

Imagine paying thousands of dollars to buy a GPU that makes your games look sexist. As a feature.

This is it. They've created a technology thats been trained on images in a culture that has historically used imagery to project misogynist and racist ideology.

Go do a search for women in 1950s American advertising and browse through those images. I can't get over how similar it looks to AI slop.

It's also worth keeping in mind that the Western tech sector has long been a very white male subset of an already white supremacist patriarchy. The result is reality as viewed from a fun house mirror because the clowns living there think that's what things look like.

Tech bros love to yap about how much their tech lacks pre coinceived notions when we know thats bullshit, even the worst of this tech reflects society's ills,not surprised the anti social women hating tech bros used porn in gen ai. And i fucking bet it's fully intentional

100% They've created a tech that gives the world a distilled image of how that power structure wants us to see ourselves, and they can't understand why the rest of us are disgusted by it.

that's so creepy lol

Yep, it's gross, and I can't understand how anyone can defend it.

Its basically the same shit as those photoshop edits posted above, but done by an emotionless machine that was fed those photoshops and porn over and over lol

I feel so tired with AI, I've been trying to write something for an hour and at this point, what else is there to be said.

DLSS5 making all women in video games look like Aubrey Plaza? Sign me up.

she looks a bit like Aubrey plaza

She basically looks like a garbled mix of every "hot lady" photo the AI generators were trained on. Doesn't even look like Grace anymore.

I love that they think it's actually a reasonable idea to train your mass application AI solely on a relative handful of photos you find hot or sexy.

Why does Doops keep saying DLSS will allow chuds to make race swapping mods *for free*? Does he think people need to pay to mod a character model in a game without this technology?

Famous anti racist website facts

I'm not gonna say what race, what people, but...

Or

An estimated 35–50% of all sub-Saharan African populations either prefer or accept cousin marriages.[63] In Nigeria, the most populous country of Africa, the three largest ethnic groups in order of size are the Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo.[64] The Hausa are overwhelmingly Muslim, though followers of traditional religions do exist. Muslim Hausas practice cousin marriage preferentially, and polygyny is allowed if the husband can support multiple wives.[65] The book Baba of Karo presents one prominent portrayal of Hausa life: according to its English coauthor, it is unknown for Hausa women to be unmarried for any great length of time after around the age of 14.[66] Divorce can be accomplished easily by either the male or the female, but females must then remarry.[67] Even for a man, lacking a spouse is looked down upon.[68] Baba of Karo's first of four marriages was to her second cousin. She recounts in the book that her good friend married the friend's first cross cousin.[69]

50% of the Yoruba people are Muslim, 40% Christian and 10% adherent of their own indigenous religious traditions.[70] A 1974 study analyzed Yoruba marriages in the town Oka Akoko, finding that among a sample of highly polygynous marriages having an average of about three wives, 51% of all pairings were consanguineous. These included not only cousin marriages but also uncle-niece unions. Reportedly, it is a custom that in such marriages at least one spouse must be a relative, and generally such spouses were the preferred or favorite wives in the marriage and gave birth to more children. However this was not a general study of Yoruba, but only of highly polygynous Yoruba residing in Oka Akoko.[71]

Seriously. There is no scenario where "more nukes" makes the world safer. .

In a world where Russia, China and US will never ever get rid of theirs, it does actually make it safer.
