iPhone Duo Livestream: How Many Folds Can Apple’s Phone Take? Day 5
Apple’s iPhone Duo is out and we want to see how durable it is. So we built a robot to fold it 20,000+ times a day to test its limits. How long do you think it will last? 100,000 folds? 200,000 folds? 500,000 folds? Tune in and watch the testing live. We’ll have CNET’s editors…

Gamers get something don’t useful from AI they say “Slop” and when they actually get something useful from AI they again call it “Slop”. Gamers only wants to bitch about everthing.

Not sure why, it looks like shit. But even so, hope you have $10,000 for two 5090’s, because that’s what they said was running this

As a 3D Game Artist myself, this is TERRIBLE!!! This is RUINING our artistic direction! I don’t want MY ART and GAMES to be inslopified! Mind you this demo is running on not one, but TWO 5090’S!!! Optimization’s just gone COMPLETLEY out the window!…
FUCK AI, SUPPORT US ARTISTS AND GAME DEVS!!!

If you do woke artistic direction, thank god AI is gonna make you starve, otherwise…

The sad truth is you are being phased out, and I can’t wait tbh. My entire life Ive wanted video games to look as close as possible to real life, and this is the closest step in that direction. It will run far better than if these graphics were attempted natively. I have a 5090 and I’m a huge fan.
If you don’t like it, you don’t have to use it. It’s that simple. I’d prefer better frame rates and better graphics so I love DLSS
@bacevs
March 17, 2026 at 3:58 am
As a non 3D game graphics guy I say
gimme that DLSS. This is exactly where the
tech is going, and NVIDIA clearly know it.
DLSS is not just AI sharpening. It is super
resolution, ray reconstruction and frame
generation, which means AI is helping with
upscaling, cleaning up ray-traced lighting
and reflections, and boosting output frames.
That matters because modern graphics are not
just about drawing more triangles anymore.
At 4K and especially future 8K, the pixel
load, memory bandwidth, ray tracing, path
tracing, denoising and high refresh targets
all pile on at once, so brute force alone is
not some magic endless solution.
Moore’s Law never meant GPUs would just keep
getting infinitely faster forever and solve
all this natively. Even if hardware keeps
improving, the rendering demands are rising
just as fast or faster. So no, AI assist only
for sharpening would not be enough anyway.
The whole point is using AI to attack several
bottlenecks at once, because that is more
realistic than waiting half my life for raw
silicon to catch up. I’m not waiting forever
for realistic cinematic-grade graphics, I
want them while I’ve still got gaming years
left.

You had one job, take the graphics, make them sharper at lower resolutions. That’s it, dont fucking spit in the face of 3d artists

I’ve never said AI looks terrible before
Infact, I actually like AI a lot
But this is the first time I’m saying this. This looks like absolute dogshit
It looks like something I would generate from grok imagine or google veo
@Trump4presi

Picture AI 5 years ago. Now picture it in 5 years. The tech moves quick and this is the first step towards truly realistic gaming. The lot of you are some haters

Calling this slop because dlss 5 is using generative AI when previous improvements were algorithmic AI enhancements. That is where the sloppening comes from: the generative part
