YouTube finally allows you to opt-out from awful AI-enhancements for both video and audio. It only works from the creator side of things and on per-channel basis.

Just to make it clear and to make it worse: back in 2022 I was using the first few versions of Stable Diffusion locally. Which was posted here and discussed with the community.
Back then several internal projects under my leadership were using AI as the experimental feature. And it was quite curious, like being among the first few smartphone users 20 years ago — we were pioneers.
For example, it was used to generate faces that otherwise would be photo bashing. Then they were manually edited to add clothing and full body setups, and manually turned into 3D models (for which the image was only a guideline). But it helped with "random" faces.
But we weren't Larian or Activision. We were a few geeks, keeping it contained and local. Whatever happens now is very different: it's global, unstoppable, unsafe, and used by idiots. And it's not helping at current scope, it's stealing from literally everyone.

NVIDIA Deprecated NVENC presets and broke compatibility with dozens of video editing apps, making it impossible to use hardware acceleration.
The majority of older versions will not be updated, so the only way is to get older NVIDIA drivers instead.
This amazing update also broke several streaming tools and VR streaming as well.

Vegas team noted that restoring support for older apps is impossible due to legal limitations. They simply can't come up with fixes for Vegas 22 and below without breaking legal obligations with components providers.

NVIDIA's response? The fact that it worked... WAS A BUG! So we fixed it, it ain't working now!
Bros, I'm fucking dying now, it was the dumbest response I've seen so far (even keeping in mind the busy week with AI crap).

By the way, in Godot 4.6 the transparency no longer breaks reflections behind it even if the Screen texture is used and modified. So, no more issues with screen effects if they are used as a 3D filter. Which is a huge upgrade that fixes a lot of possible…
And if you missed the fun, in our chat we were discussing the glass shader today and how glass almost always requires raytracing. A quick recap:
- Not always, you can make ok-ish glass that will work for most cases and will run much faster
- It will not work well as a nested set of similar effects in Godot, since only one glass will have full access to screen image. It will require tweaks in UE and Unity, and only in UE5.2+ it will be kinda OK, not 5.1 and before.

The Indie Game awards kinda annoyed the audience when they awarded Expedition 33 (made by a fairly big team and huge budget) as the best indie game… now they called it off because of the AI (that the team used during prototyping). The use of AI has been widely…
This is getting ridiculous, by the way, if this is true: Sandfall explains wazzup with gen-AI and stuff.

By 4.6+ it has become usable Some features are still missing or placeholders, but in general 4.6 is the moment when it can be really used for visually stunning and still performant 3D games on PC.
