Nvidia isn’t the worst of the worst so as long as intel exists. And what makes you think others aren’t just as focused on AI anyway? Seems like a gross oversight on your part. You should look into those other companies when you find the time.

Okay so you’ve been sleeping under a rock so let me explain. You’re basically saying to not buy GPUs full stop because all those companies are terrible. But even if Nvidia sold 0 consumer GPUs for the rest of the year it wouldn’t affect them. Virtually all their stock value comes from the industry going full AI slop and no consumer choice we make with our tiny baby wallets can make them change course now. There is not enough money in the end consumer PC parts market for them to actually care because AI companies pay them so much more.
Is AMD that shit on Linux? Because Nvidia works perfectly fine for me.
It’s that way because languages grow naturally and are part of a culture. Although if you have breakfast with people from different parts of Germany or even just different households, you may find yourself arguing about the nouns of a popular nougat cream brand. It’s quite controversial for some reason.
Whatever the case, the same can’t be said about spelling, however. Writing is often reformed in many languages many times and it generally works. A language changes the way we think as much as the way we think shapes how we speak. You can’t really reform how people speak from the top. It either happens or it doesn’t.
If you genuinely think they care about making a mere thousand bucks on a lumpy graphics card then you have been sleeping under a rock. Their costumers are Amazon, Microslop and Meta. Not you or me.
We don’t have the money to back up our vote in this ‘election’. If you could even call it that. Capitalism isn’t a democratic process.
AMD does the exact same as Nvidia. They’re just less successful with it. It doesn’t really matter who you buy from in that regard, I think.
Yeah, I was about to ask who hasn’t had both? Like, I’ve eaten, cooked and baked with real and fake vanilla and they’re almost identical. I prefer vanilla extract over other options and I don’t really care how much real vanilla is in it.
My native language isn’t English in case you were assuming that.
I wasn’t assuming that, don’t worry. That’s why I phrased my message like that.
I guess I agree to disagree here. Language is an expression of culture and heritage too. I would never speak German differently now just because of a reform. Neither would 99% of German speakers I assume. Yet we freely integrate English words into our language because it feels natural. These English words often come and go anyway so I’m not actually concerned the German language will become deluded from Internet lingo or anything.
Quite the statement for an English comment. English spelling is nonsensical and in desperate need of a major reform. RobWords even made the case for using runes again as it would probably fix a lot of issues already. The language simply isn’t made for Latin letters.
But I don’t want to make this a sole whataboutism comment. Each language poses it’s own challenges. I will say that changing how roughly 100 million speak is easier said than done and would destroy a lot of culture. It would be much easier to force everyone to speak a different language entirely.
Personally I don’t think it should or could be done at all. Unlike a spelling reform that English needs desperately and German had plenty of recently. There is nothing wrong with a language being complicated but there’s plenty wrong with arbitrary spelling if you ask me.
Oh! Well Czech is at least worse than Russian which has ‘only’ 6, then.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•AI-assisted staging draws boos at the Richard Wagner festival in GermanyEnglish
21·4 days agoThey might as well come on stage, take a shit on it, use original music note sheets handwritten by Richard Wagner to wipe their asses and then burn them in front of the crowd. What were these walnut brains thinking? Yes, Wagner plays often enjoyed state of the art stage design that would break the mold but this isn’t it. Pure idiocy and laziness.
Released in 2011, huh? Just make sure to complete it before making a judgement… You might be in for a surprise.

4·14 days agoYeah, like actors. It’s definitely not as CGI as Shrek or Toy Story. I find it honestly really weird to call a live action movie “100% CGI” when there clearly are human actors on screen.

6·14 days agoExcept, you know, LotR was had biggest CG battles in movie history up until that point and still ranks pretty high today. They definitely didn’t take the easy route by actually filming a lot of scenes outside while innovating on the CG front dramatically to make huge battles possible the likes of which were deemed nearly impossible at the time, though. There were some large innovations in the Hobbit movies too but they didn’t land. And yeah, too much green screens. They should’ve done it the hard way while still using just as much CG.

24·14 days agoProject Hail Mary and not CG-stuffed? WHAT??? So they actually flew to the sun and found an actual rock alien in a huge space ship to film with? Because no, Rocky isn’t an actual puppet in every single scene. It’s mostly CG and so is the bubble around the guy. I despise this type of sensationalism so much because it spits and pisses on the work of dozens, if not hundreds of VFX artists doing heavy lifting to make movie magic happen. I haven’t watched Odyssey but I’ve seen all his other movies and Nolan himself said he’s heavily reliant on VFX in his acceptance speech at the VES awards 2011. This is a bunch of BS.

10·18 days agoGoogle is an “advertiser friendly” hellscape and society should not use it to be informed. It’s completely unreliable. This is just one of many instances where Google simply went the path of least resistance against any morals. It’s not their job to inform you or be a platform for truth. They just want to advertise garbage you don’t need.

Whether that’s important or not is your choice as a consumer. If you use Blender for example, Nvidia gives you more bang for your buck. It just works much better with those cards. That’s simply what the spread sheets say. If you need slightly higher VRAM for different reasons go for something else.
But that’s completely besides the argument. Whatever you choose doesn’t change the fact that neither of those companies gives a shit about us end consumers. They’re barely making any money from us compared to AI companies. They’re all in on AI.
