    8GB VRAM is definitely a problem even at 1080p. There are already benchmarks showing this from various outlets. Not in every game of course, and it definitely hurts AAA mre than others. but it will get worse with time, and people buy GPUs to last several years, so it shouldn’t have a major issue on the day you buy it!


  • They did just successfully reuse a booster on the last test. One of the most powerful boosters ever launched was precisely caught on a tower and relaunched a few months later. But nope, no talent by those engineers.

    Saturn 5 was obviously amazing, but we can’t use it as a benchmark today. We could do it again if we wanted, but we don’t want to. Standards and goals have changed. Both politically and in aerospace generally.

    Is it disappointing that the ship keeps having issues? Yes. Does that make the program a waste? No. It will progress even if its slow. I’d rather it be late than not done ever, which was the status quo before SpaceX arrived. How many times must these goal posts be moved?

    We are watching a whole new round of groundbreaking R&D unfold before our eyes and people are sitting here worrying about money. And a pretty small amount of money in the grand scheme of the country.

    It is truly a shame that Elon is the evil asshole that started all this. It makes it so incredibly difficult to be a fan. But try to find the nuance. SpaceX has become so much more than him.



  • This article is only referencing cost per launch, which is just stupid. what about cost per kg to orbit? Or cost per kg to geostationary? Or cost per kg to beyond earth orbit? Cost per astronaut seat to ISS? Etc… these are the metrics that actually matter. The article also fails to mention inflation adjusted or not, which is important with the timescales they are using. Low effort ragebait article.



  • The problems you describe with control is severely outdated. There are tools specifically to allow you more control outside of prompts. Ipadapters, controlnets, etc… invoke and krita support layers and all sorts of other normal artistic methods for image editing. For people who use ai image gen more seriously, prompting is just the tip of the iceberg.

    For the insane amount of slop generated every day though, sure, prompting is all they use.



  • For your first part, i agree dev art has its charms. I don’t necessarily think that charm is lost if AI is introduced with a light touch to help them out. For sure if they just prompt and use slop then yeah, thats way worse. Curious, what if a dev hires an artist, and that artist uses AI tools in some form or another? Assuming they provide what the dev wants for the project at good quality, is there still an issue here?

    I do agree with some of the copyright issues and computation issues in your second part. I don’t know what the solutions and future hold for this. I honestly just cede those points to the anti-ai crowd. It doesn’t stop me from being a supporter of these tools overall, but im mostly just interested from the technology side itself. And i really only use local models to tinker with them as a hobbiest, not posting anything.

    Also side note, steam is already flooded with asset flips, functionally no different, haha.
