Musk is a shareholder. He own large parts of the companies he's the CEO of

I partly agree with you in that everyone using the same UE5 engine is bad

But I really don't agree that deferred rendering techniques are inherently bad. Maybe they cause negative incentives for developers that lead to worse games in the long run, but you might as well blame capitalism at that point

I like techniques such as TAA because they do work better as anti-aliasing in my experience. I've multiple times had the choice between TAA and traditional AA and I think TAA simply does what it sets out to do better. Upscaling and frame generation are also nice to haves as optional features people can enable. Sometimes I use them, sometimes not. But it is bad that companies use these techniques as a crutch, indeed, but I don't want to see them gone

Also because heat management is very tricky in an environment like space. You can only radiate heat away, so there's a risk of overheating the station

Frankly focusing on the carbon output of AI models is a red herring. It's not a significant part of the problem and just makes people complacent in the form of feeling like we've achieved something if it succeeds. It's not worse than stuff like video games

Focus on the actual negative effects of AI, but carbon intensity isn't a major one

That and the conglomerates can afford to invest fully into the most cutting edge automation to reduce the amount of labour needed

Yeah for sure, as I said, it hinges upon how interested we actually are in space

But modern computers and manufacturing techniques have made reusable rockets possible, and they exist now, so things are not quite the same as they used to be

Another thing though, our space infrastructure has been improving over the decades, it's just that it mostly consisted of satellites orbiting earth. I mean, look at GPS, that only really came into practical existence in the 90s! And that was a massive thing! (Yes I know technically earlier but still)

I'm not too timid, I just don't know enough about the other places on the internet or the behind the scenes on Reddit to say much conclusively

Why should I defend reddit? It was a shithole that only got worse as time went on

At some point I intentionally stopped going and interacting with the darker sides of reddit to protect my own sanity, though. So yes, I was effectively siloed from it. But I'm not shocked, far from it

We're definitively not getting any space hotels within a decade

Two decades however? Possible. I do think we will see the buildup of a lot more space infrastructure this century, but it all depends upon how much the world cares about space and its development

They both tried to cheat on each other instead of, you know, communicating and respecting each other

It's probably not a stretch to say that reddit was instrumental in the ride of the modern alt-reich movement

It's like gaining eldritch knowledge. It unlocks certain aspects of reality unseen before now, at the cost of some of your sanity, driving you mad with understanding. And everyone around you thinks you've lost your mind

It is very relevant yeah. They hated Kirk, and it very well may be that the shooter was a groyper
