Really interesting to watch humanoid robots getting better. The design, mechanics, motors, hands… but also the intelligence behind all of it. The models, training and understanding of the real world. I think in a few years we’ll start seeing them in our homes. Cleaning, finding things, helping with everyday tasks and giving older people more independence. And imagine having something like ChatGPT Voice inside for natural conversations and assistance. This is the kind of future tech I’m very excited about. Feels like science fiction, but it’s getting real very fast. Made this concept ad with @HappyHorseATH 1.1

Modders have enabled DLSS 5 AI Neural Filters in games using a Neural Rendering DLL from the NBA 2K27 early access build. Below are cutscene and gameplay comparisons from The Last of Us Part 2. It appears to be limited to RTX 50 series GPUs for now, and the performance cost is steep, around 40-50%, depending on the game and settings. In some scenes, it looks incredible. The visuals feel remarkably realistic. In others, it looks a little too AI-generated. Still, the technology is fascinating. TLOU2 video:

IGN watched 30 minutes of GTA 6 gameplay at Rockstar North, and the biggest takeaway is just how alive, dense, and ridiculously detailed Leonida feels. • The streets are packed with NPCs having real conversations and reacting differently to you. Some may run when threatened, while others will fight back or even join an altercation. • You can switch between Jason and Lucia or explore and commit crimes together. Spending time as a couple strengthens their relationship and can affect how the story plays out. • Police can receive descriptions of your appearance, clothes, vehicle, and whether you’re traveling alone or together. Changing clothes, cars, or splitting up can help you escape. • Stealing cars is more complex. Expensive vehicles may require tools like a key cloner, while some have GPS trackers. A phone app reveals their security systems, resale value, and registration cost. • A new Criminal Profile system tracks your behavior and can change how the world reacts to you and how parts of the narrative unfold. • Safehouses are now closer to RDR2’s camps: interactive spaces that genuinely feel like home. • Driving is more challenging because streets are narrower, traffic is denser, and the city is built at a more realistic scale. • Social media, classic GTA satire, stores, side activities, workouts, food buffs, and a massive number of opportunities are spread across the map. IGN says it’s the best-looking game they’ve ever seen on PS5, with incredible animation, realistic hair, facial expressions, lighting, and character movement. It sounds less like another open-world game and more like a parallel universe we’re all going to disappear into. GTA 6 launches November 19.

Wow… I honestly didn’t expect to see a brand as huge as Samsung use a fully AI-generated video for one of its products. I’m surprised that a brand with Samsung’s budget, talent, and production capabilities chose to generate an entire photorealistic commercial instead of filming it for real and that it’s already being used as an actual Instagram ad. AI-generated advertising went mainstream much faster than I expected… What do you think?
