It's not a solution to anything, it's simply just money. If they don't release a for-profit video generator, someone else will


nobody is forcing you to subscribe to ai video channels. the creators you currently enjoy won't just start making ai videos?


That sounds pretty bad though


nothing to do with capitalism. people just don't want to directly pay for music


this one absolutely is though - people were happy using bandcamp to directly pay for music but the owners got greedy and sold the site


Interesting thought. What is this based on? I mean, why would people just not want to directly pay for the music that they enjoy?


Are you serious? A ton of people will just take anything for free that isn’t nailed down.


Yeah, I'm serious. Lots of people were happy throwing money directly at the people who were making the music they enjoyed, either through live jigs or Bandcamp.


A significant minority do. Bandcamp cleared $20 million in profit in 2022:

and "Fans have paid artists $1.21 billion using Bandcamp, and $193 million in the last year." from bandcamp homepage.


Why? DLSS Quality is virtually indistinguishable from native. No reason to not turn it on when available


I don't buy this "indistinguishable" claim. Especially in any general case. At most it would be not too annoying. It's always about paying with one quality for another.


Arguably native rendering wouldn't have antialiasing, because that would be downscaling, so DLSS would have both some disadvantages and some advantages. So the best case is better than "not too annoying", it has the potential to beat pure native rendering.


> Arguably native rendering wouldn't have antialiasing, because that would be downscaling

If you're unfamiliar with computer graphics it's unhelpful to try to nitpick and just end up being incorrect. Antialiasing is not downscaling, and less data is never going to beat more data for visual fidelity.


I said 'arguably' for a reason, not out of ignorance. Parts of the pipeline are still per-pixel, and parts are effectively rendering at a higher resolution.

> less data is never going to beat more data for visual fidelity

It has less data but better processing. That can look better sometimes.

Except it doesn't strictly have less data. It has multiple frames and other information to work with.
