Upcoming appearances: Where to find me.

Recent appearances: Where I've been.

Latest books: You keep readin' em, I'll keep writin' 'em.

Upcoming books: Like I said, I'll keep writin' 'em.

"Disenshittify or Die" (permalink)

Last weekend, I traveled to Las Vegas for Defcon 32, where I had the immense privilege of giving a solo talk on Track 1, entitled "Disenshittify or die! How hackers can seize the means of computation and build a new, good internet that is hardened against our asshole bosses' insatiable horniness for enshittification":

https://info.defcon.org/event/?id=54861

This was a followup to last year's talk, "An Audacious Plan to Halt the Internet's Enshittification," a talk that kicked off a lot of international interest in my analysis of platform decay ("enshittification"):

The Defcon organizers have earned a restful week or two, and that means that the video of my talk hasn't yet been posted to Defcon's Youtube channel, so in the meantime, I thought I'd post a lightly edited version of my speech crib. If you're headed to Burning Man, you can hear me reprise this talk at Palenque Norte (7&E); I'm kicking off their lecture series on Tuesday, Aug 27 at 1PM.

What the fuck happened to the old, good internet?

I mean, sure, our bosses were a little surveillance-happy, and they were usually up for sharing their data with the NSA, and whenever there was a tossup between user security and growth, it was always YOLO time.

But Google Search used to work. Facebook used to show you posts from people you followed. Uber used to be cheaper than a taxi and pay the driver more than a cabbie made. Amazon used to sell products, not Shein-grade self-destructing dropshipped garbage from all-consonant brands. Apple used to defend your privacy, rather than spying on you with your no-modifications-allowed Iphone.

There was a time when you searching for an album on Spotify would get you that album – not a playlist of insipid AI-generated covers with the same name and art.

Microsoft used to sell you software – sure, it was buggy – but now they just let you access apps in the cloud, so they can watch how you use those apps and strip the features you use the most out of the basic tier and turn them into an upcharge.

What – and I cannot stress this enough – the fuck happened?!

I’m talking about enshittification.

Here’s what enshittification looks like from the outside: First, you see a company that’s being good to its end users. Google puts the best search results at the top; Facebook shows you a feed of posts from people and groups you followl; Uber charges small dollars for a cab; Amazon subsidizes goods and returns and shipping and puts the best match for your product search at the top of the page.

That’s stage one, being good to end users. But there’s another part of this stage, call it stage 1a). That’s figuring out how to lock in those users.

There’s so many ways to lock in users.

If you’re Facebook, the users do it for you. You joined Facebook because there were people there you wanted to hang out with, and other people joined Facebook to hang out with you.

That’s the old “network effects” in action, and with network effects come “the collective action problem." Because you love your friends, but goddamn are they a pain in the ass! You all agree that FB sucks, sure, but can you all agree on when it’s time to leave?

No way.

Can you agree on where to go next?

Hell no.

You’re there because that’s where the support group for your rare disease hangs out, and your bestie is there because that’s where they talk with the people in the country they moved away from, then there’s that friend who coordinates their kid’s little league car pools on FB, and the best dungeon master you know isn’t gonna leave FB because that’s where her customers are.

So you’re stuck, because even though FB use comes at a high cost – your privacy, your dignity and your sanity – that’s still less than the switching cost you’d have to bear if you left: namely, all those friends who have taken you hostage, and whom you are holding hostage

Now, sometimes companies lock you in with money, like Amazon getting you to prepay for a year’s shipping with Prime, or to buy your Audible books on a monthly subscription, which virtually guarantees that every shopping search will start on Amazon, after all, you’ve already paid for it.

Sometimes, they lock you in with DRM, like HP selling you a printer with four ink cartridges filled with fluid that retails for more than $10,000/gallon, and using DRM to stop you from refilling any of those ink carts or using a third-party cartridge. So when one cart runs dry, you have to refill it or throw away your investment in the remaining three cartridges and the printer itself.

Sometimes, it’s a grab bag:

You can’t run your Ios apps without Apple hardware;

you can’t run your Apple music, books and movies on anything except an Ios app;

your iPhone uses parts pairing – DRM handshakes between replacement parts and the main system – so you can’t use third-party parts to fix it; and

every OEM iPhone part has a microscopic Apple logo engraved on it, so Apple can demand that the US Customs and Border Service seize any shipment of refurb Iphone parts as trademark violations.

Think Different, amirite?

Getting you locked in completes phase one of the enshittification cycle and signals the start of phase two: making things worse for you to make things better for business customers.

For example, a platform might poison its search results, like Google selling more and more of its results pages to ads that are identified with lighter and lighter tinier and tinier type.

Or Amazon selling off search results and calling it an “ad” business. They make $38b/year on this scam. The first result for your search is, on average, 29% more expensive than the best match for your search. The first row is 25% more expensive than the best match. On average, the best match for your search is likely to be found seventeen places down on the results page.

Other platforms sell off your feed, like Facebook, which started off showing you the things you asked to see, but now the quantum of content from the people you follow has dwindled to a homeopathic residue, leaving a void that Facebook fills with things that people pay to show you: boosted posts from publishers you haven’t subscribed to, and, of course, ads.

Now at this point you might be thinking ‘sure, if you’re not paying for the product, you’re the product.'

Bullshit!

Bull.

Shit.

The people who buy those Google ads? They pay more every year for worse ad-targeting and more ad-fraud

Those publishers paying to nonconsensually cram their content into your Facebook feed? They have to do that because FB suppresses their ability to reach the people who actually subscribed to them

The Amazon sellers with the best match for your query have to outbid everyone else just to show up on the first page of results. It costs so much to sell on Amazon that between 45-51% of every dollar an independent seller brings in has to be kicked up to Don Bezos and the Amazon crime family. Those sellers don’t have the kind of margins that let them pay 51% They have to raise prices in order to avoid losing money on every sale.

"But wait!" I hear you say!

[Come on, say it!]

"But wait! Things on Amazon aren’t more expensive that things at Target, or Walmart, or at a mom and pop store, or direct from the manufacturer.

"How can sellers be raising prices on Amazon if the price at Amazon is the same as at is everywhere else?"

[Any guesses?!]

That’s right, they charge more everywhere. They have to. Amazon binds its sellers to a policy called “most favored nation status,” which says they can’t charge more on Amazon than they charge elsewhere, including direct from their own factory store.

So every seller that wants to sell on Amazon has to raise their prices everywhere else.

Now, these sellers are Amazon’s best customers. They’re paying for the product, and they’re still getting screwed.

Paying for the product doesn’t fill your vapid boss’s shriveled heart with so much joy that he decides to stop trying to think of ways to fuck you over.

Look at Apple. Remember when Apple offered every Ios user a one-click opt out for app-based surveillance? And 96% of users clicked that box?

(The other four percent were either drunk or Facebook employees or drunk Facebook employees.)

That cost Facebook at least ten billion dollars per year in lost surveillance revenue?

I mean, you love to see it.

But did you know that at the same time Apple started spying on Ios users in the same way that Facebook had been, for surveillance data to use to target users for its competing advertising product?

Your Iphone isn’t an ad-supported gimme. You paid a thousand fucking dollars for that distraction rectangle in your pocket, and you’re still the product. What’s more, Apple has rigged Ios so that you can’t mod the OS to block its spying.

If you’re not not paying for the product, you’re the product, and if you are paying for the product, you’re still the product.

Just ask the farmers who are expected to swap parts into their own busted half-million dollar, mission-critical tractors, but can’t actually use those parts until a technician charges them $200 to drive out to the farm and type a parts pairing unlock code into their console.

John Deere’s not giving away tractors. Give John Deere a half mil for a tractor and you will be the product.

Please, my brothers and sisters in Christ. Please! Stop saying ‘if you’re not paying for the product, you’re the product.’

OK, OK, so that’s phase two of enshittification.

Phase one: be good to users while locking them in.

Phase two: screw the users a little to you can good to business customers while locking them in.

Phase three: screw everybody and take all the value for yourself. Leave behind the absolute bare minimum of utility so that everyone stays locked into your pile of shit.

Enshittification: a tragedy in three acts.

That’s what enshittification looks like from the outside, but what’s going on inside the company? What is the pathological mechanism? What sci-fi entropy ray converts the excellent and useful service into a pile of shit?

That mechanism is called twiddling. Twiddling is when someone alters the back end of a service to change how its business operates, changing prices, costs, search ranking, recommendation criteria and other foundational aspects of the system.

Digital platforms are a twiddler’s utopia. A grocer would need an army of teenagers with pricing guns on rollerblades to reprice everything in the building when someone arrives who’s extra hungry.

Whereas the McDonald’s Investments portfolio company Plexure advertises that it can use surveillance data to predict when an app user has just gotten paid so the seller can tack an extra couple bucks onto the price of their breakfast sandwich.

And of course, as the prophet William Gibson warned us, ‘cyberspace is everting.' With digital shelf tags, grocers can change prices whenever they feel like, like the grocers in Norway, whose e-ink shelf tags change the prices 2,000 times per day.

Every Uber driver is offered a different wage for every job. If a driver has been picky lately, the job pays more. But if the driver has been desperate enough to grab every ride the app offers, the pay goes down, and down, and down.

The law professor Veena Dubal calls this ‘algorithmic wage discrimination.' It’s a prime example of twiddling.

Every youtuber knows what it’s like to be twiddled. You work for weeks or months, spend thousands of dollars to make a video, then the algorithm decides that no one – not your own subscribers, not searchers who type in the exact name of your video – will see it.

Why? Who knows? The algorithm’s rules are not public.

Because content moderation is the last redoubt of security through obscurit: they can’t tell you what the como algorithm is downranking because then you’d cheat.

Youtube is the kind of shitty boss who docks every paycheck for all the rules you’ve broken, but won’t tell you what those rules were, lest you figure out how to break those rules next time without your boss catching you.

Twiddling can also work in some users’ favor, of course. Sometimes platforms twiddle to make things better for end users or business customers.

For example, Emily Baker-White from Forbes revealed the existence of a back-end feature that Tiktok’s management can access they call the “heating tool.”

When a manager applies the heating toll to a performer’s account, that performer’s videos are thrust into the feeds of millions of users, without regard to whether the recommendation algorithm predicts they will enjoy that video.

Why would they do this? Well, here’s an analogy from my boyhood I used to go to this traveling fair that would come to Toronto at the end of every summer, the Canadian National Exhibition. If you’ve been to a fair like the Ex, you know that you can always spot some guy lugging around a comedically huge teddy bear.

Nominally, you win that teddy bear by throwing five balls in a peach-basket, but to a first approximation, no one has ever gotten five balls to stay in that peach-basket.

That guy “won” the teddy bear when a carny on the midway singled him out and said, "fella, I like your face. Tell you what I’m gonna do: You get just one ball in the basket and I’ll give you this keychain, and if you amass two keychains, I’ll let you trade them in for one of these galactic-scale teddy-bears."

That’s how the guy got his teddy bear, which he now has to drag up and down the midway for the rest of the day.

Why the hell did that carny give away the teddy bear? Because it turns the guy into a walking billboard for the midway games. If that dopey-looking Judas Goat can get five balls into a peach basket, then so can you.

Except you can’t.

Tiktok’s heating tool is a way to give away tactical giant teddy bears. When someone in the TikTok brain trust decides they need more sports bros on the platform, they pick one bro out at random and make him king for the day, heating the shit out of his account.

That guy gets a bazillion views and he starts running around on all the sports bro forums trumpeting his success: *I am the Louis Pasteur of sports bro influencers!"

The other sports bros pile in and start retooling to make content that conforms to the idiosyncratic Tiktok format. When they fail to get giant teddy bears of their own, they assume that it’s because they’re doing Tiktok wrong, because they don’t know about the heating tool.

But then comes the day when the TikTok Star Chamber decides they need to lure in more astrologers, so they take the heat off that one lucky sports bro, and start heating up some lucky astrologer.

Giant teddy bears are all over the place: those Uber drivers who were boasting to the NYT ten years ago about earning $50/hour? The Substackers who were rolling in dough? Joe Rogan and his hundred million dollar Spotify payout? Those people are all the proud owners of giant teddy bears, and they’re a steal.

Because every dollar they get from the platform turns into five dollars worth of free labor from suckers who think they just internetting wrong.

Giant teddy bears are just one way of twiddling. Platforms can play games with every part of their business logic, in highly automated ways, that allows them to quickly and efficiently siphon value from end users to business customers and back again, hiding the pea in a shell game conducted at machine speeds, until they’ve got everyone so turned around that they take all the value for themselves.

That’s the how: How the platforms do the trick where they are good to users, then lock users in, then maltreat users to be good to business customers, then lock in those business customers, then take all the value for themselves.

So now we know what is happening, and how it is happening, all that’s left is why it’s happening.

Now, on the one hand, the why is pretty obvious. The less value that end-users and business customers capture, the more value there is left to divide up among the shareholders and the executives.

That’s why, but it doesn’t tell you why now. Companies could have done this shit at any time in the past 20 years, but they didn’t. Or at least, the successful ones didn’t. The ones that turned themselves into piles of shit got treated like piles of shit. We avoided them and they died.

Remember Myspace? Yahoo Search? Livejournal? Sure, they’re still serving some kind of AI slop or programmatic ad junk if you hit those domains, but they’re gone.

And there’s the clue: It used to be that if you enshittified your product, bad things happened to your company. Now, there are no consequences for enshittification, so everyone’s doing it.

Let’s break that down: What stops a company from enshittifying?

There are four forces that discipline tech companies. The first one is, obviously, competition.

If your customers find it easy to leave, then you have to worry about them leaving

Many factors can contribute to how hard or easy it is to depart a platform, like the network effects that Facebook has going for it. But the most important factor is whether there is anywhere to go.

Back in 2012, Facebook bought Insta for a billion dollars. That may seem like chump-change in these days of eleven-digit Big Tech acquisitions, but that was a big sum in those innocent days, and it was an especially big sum to pay for Insta. The company only had 13 employees, and a mere 25 million registered users.

But what mattered to Zuckerberg wasn’t how many users Insta had, it was where those users came from.

[Does anyone know where those Insta users came from?]

That’s right, they left Facebook and joined Insta. They were sick of FB, even though they liked the people there, they hated creepy Zuck, they hated the platform, so they left and they didn’t come back.

So Zuck spent a cool billion to recapture them, A fact he put in writing in a midnight email to CFO David Ebersman, explaining that he was paying over the odds for Insta because his users hated him, and loved Insta. So even if they quit Facebook (the platform), they would still be captured Facebook (the company).

Now, on paper, Zuck’s Instagram acquisition is illegal, but normally, that would be hard to stop, because you’d have to prove that he bought Insta with the intention of curtailing competition.

But in this case, Zuck tripped over his own dick: he put it in writing.

But Obama’s DoJ and FTC just let that one slide, following the pro-monopoly policies of Reagan, Bush I, Clinton and Bush II, and setting an example that Trump would follow, greenlighting gigamergers like the catastrophic, incestuous Warner-Discovery marriage.

Indeed, for 40 years, starting with Carter, and accelerating through Reagan, the US has encouraged monopoly formation, as an official policy, on the grounds that monopolies are “efficient.”

If everyone is using Google Search, that’s something we should celebrate. It means they’ve got the very best search and wouldn’t it be perverse to spend public funds to punish them for making the best product?

But as we all know, Google didn’t maintain search dominance by being best. They did it by paying bribes. More than 20 billion per year to Apple alone to be the default Ios search, plus billions more to Samsung, Mozilla, and anyone else making a product or service with a search-box on it, ensuring that you never stumble on a search engine that’s better than theirs.

Which, in turn, ensured that no one smart invested big in rival search engines, even if they were visibly, obviously superior. Why bother making something better if Google’s buying up all the market oxygen before it can kindle your product to life?

Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon – they’re not “making things” companies, they’re “buying things” companies, taking advantage of official tolerance for anticompetitive acquisitions, predatory pricing, market distorting exclusivity deals and other acts specifically prohibited by existing antitrust law.

Their goal is to become too big to fail, because that makes them too big to jail, and that means they can be too big to care.

Which is why Google Search is a pile of shit and everything on Amazon is dropshipped garbage that instantly disintegrates in a cloud of offgassed volatile organic compounds when you open the box.

Once companies no longer fear losing your business to a competitor, it’s much easier for them to treat you badly, because what’re you gonna do?

Remember Lily Tomlin as Ernestine the AT&T operator in those old SNL sketches? “We don’t care. We don’t have to. We’re the phone company.”

Competition is the first force that serves to discipline companies and the enshittificatory impulses of their leadership, and we just stopped enforcing competition law.

It takes a special kind of smooth-brained asshole – that is, an establishment economist – to insist that the collapse of every industry from eyeglasses to vitamin C into a cartel of five or fewer companies has nothing to do with policies that officially encouraged monopolization.

It’s like we used to put down rat poison and we didn’t have a rat problem.Then these dickheads convinced us that rats were good for us and we stopped putting down rat poison, and now rats are gnawing our faces off and they’re all running around saying, "Who’s to say where all these rats came from? Maybe it was that we stopped putting down poison, but maybe it’s just the Time of the Rats. The Great Forces of History bearing down on this moment to multiply rats beyond all measure!"

Antitrust didn’t slip down that staircase and fall spine-first on that stiletto: they stabbed it in the back and then they pushed it.

And when they killed antitrust, they also killed regulation, the second force that disciplines companies. Regulation is possible, but only when the regulator is more powerful than the regulated entities. When a company is bigger than the government, it gets damned hard to credibly threaten to punish that company, no matter what its sins.

That’s what protected IBM for all those years when it had its boot on the throat of the American tech sector. Do you know, the DOJ fought to break up IBM in the courts from 1970-1982, and that every year, for 12 consecutive years, IBM spent more on lawyers to fight the USG than the DOJ Antitrust Division spent on all the lawyers fighting every antitrust case in the entire USA?

IBM outspent Uncle Sam for 12 years. People called it “Antitrust’s Vietnam.” All that money paid off, because by 1982, the president was Ronald Reagan, a man whose official policy was that monopolies were “efficient." So he dropped the case, and Big Blue wriggled off the hook.

It’s hard to regulate a monopolist, and it’s hard to regulate a cartel. When a sector is composed of hundreds of competing companies, they compete. They genuinely fight with one another, trying to poach each others’ customers and workers. They are at each others’ throats.

It’s hard enough for a couple hundred executives to agree on anything. But when they’re legitimately competing with one another, really obsessing about how to eat each others’ lunches, they can’t agree on anything.

The instant one of them goes to their regulator with some bullshit story, about how it’s impossible to have a decent search engine without fine-grained commercial surveillance; or how it’s impossible to have a secure and easy to use mobile device without a total veto over which software can run on it; or how it’s impossible to administer an ISP’s network unless you can slow down connections to servers whose owners aren’t paying bribes for “premium carriage"; there’s some *other company saying, “That’s bullshit”

“We’ve managed it! Here’s our server logs, our quarterly financials and our customer testimonials to prove it.”

100 companies are a rabble, they're a mob. They can’t agree on a lobbying position. They’re too busy eating each others’ lunch to agree on how to cater a meeting to discuss it.

But let those hundred companies merge to monopoly, absorb one another in an incestuous orgy, turn into five giant companies, so inbred they’ve got a corporate Habsburg jaw, and they become a cartel.

It’s easy for a cartel to agree on what bullshit they’re all going to feed their regulator, and to mobilize some of the excess billions they’ve reaped through consolidation, which freed them from “wasteful competition," so they can capture their regulators completely.

You know, Congress used to pass federal consumer privacy laws? Not anymore.

The last time Congress managed to pass a federal consumer privacy law was in 1988: The Video Privacy Protection Act. That’s a law that bans video-store clerks from telling newspapers what VHS cassettes you take home. In other words, it regulates three things that have effectively ceased to exist.

The threat of having your video rental history out there in the public eye was not the last or most urgent threat the American public faced, and yet, Congress is deadlocked on passing a privacy law.

Tech companies’ regulatory capture involves a risible and transparent gambit, that is so stupid, it’s an insult to all the good hardworking risible transparent ruses out there.

Namely, they claim that when they violate your consumer, privacy or labor rights, It’s not a crime, because they do it with an app.

Algorithmic wage discrimination isn’t illegal wage theft: we do it with an app.

Spying on you from asshole to appetite isn’t a privacy violation: we do it with an app.

And Amazon’s scam search tool that tricks you into paying 29% more than the best match for your query? Not a ripoff. We do it with an app.

doing this ask game in one fell swoop because i need a reason to talk about elliott 💕

1. how did you discover your f/o’s content?

honestly I don't remember! it was probably on tumblr. I originally played sdv on mobile, i just remember seeing the app and being like "oh stardew, I've been meaning to play that game, and i have the money yo buy it rn" so i got it

2. how old were you when you discovered your f/o’s content?

i started playing stardew around 2019, so, i suppose i was 14

3. describe the first time you watched/played/read your f/o’s source content.

as i mentioned i was playing on my phone (which was terrible. the controls are hard + i do not recommend). I'm kind of terrible at video games so even in stardew i was struggling, i have a distinct memory of one of my first days trying to buy and eat bread and it was such a struggle, and then i accidentally gave it to someone instead of eating it 😔

but yeah on my first playthrough i initially got married to shane because i loved his character arc & him getting better but, much like everyone else, i was quickly disillusioned. we got divorced the moment i earned enough money to do it. and then i romanced both elliott and harvey for a while, and in the end decided to marry elliott :) best choice i ever made i love him sm

4. who was your first favorite character when you initially got into your f/o’s source content? was it your f/o from the very beginning?

as i mentioned shane was the first character i pursed but i was always fascinated with elliott. i still really like harvey & sebastian & sam's heart events etc but elliott is my boy <3

7. are there any specific scenes/chapters/moments of your f/o that you find yourself going back to revisit more often than any other?

the letters he sends in his 14 heart event <3 ugh it makes my heart melt. i just love him. and it's especially helpful since at that point in canon you're physically separated & i can read and reread them when i miss him, and do my best to feel like he's just out traveling.

8. are there any scenes/chapters/moments your f/o is in that you skip when you revisit their source content?

no!! every scene w him is important to me lol

10. if you could change one thing about your f/o’s source content, would you? what would you change?

more elliott (also more dialogue with everyone. but more elliott is my first priority)

11. do your friends/family know that you’re into the content that your f/o comes from or do you keep this interest to yourself?

yeah! i talk to them about my stardew games pretty often.

12. did you know what self shipping was when you first discovered your f/o’s source content?

nope!

13. do you have a favorite line your f/o has ever said?

this was a great excuse to go back through all of his dialogue. nothing stands out as one favorite but i will say i like the pair of "you probably wouldn't like it inside my cabin. it's dark and full of spiders," which is common dialogue usually near the beginning of the game/low hearts with him, and then "if you find a spider in the house, don't squash it! just let me know and i'll take the poor thing outside," which is dialogue you get after you're married. its so cute like aww he actually likes the spiders :) that's probably why they feel comfortable in his cabin lmao

14. what’s your favorite outfit your f/o has ever worn?

his NEW WINTER OUTFIT. i fucking love winter clothes on anyone i think it makes someone 10x hotter especially if it's like a peacoat etc. look at my boy!!

15. do you own any merchandise from your f/o’s source content? what is it?

AI Decoded : Solving AI Hardware, Software, and Tools

Mysteries of AI Decoded

NVIDIA hastened the transition to AI computing with the 2018 release of RTX technology and the first consumer GPU designed for AI, the GeForce RTX. With 500 AI apps and over 100 million users, the AI ecosystem for RTX PCs and workstations has flourished since then.

New capabilities are currently being introduced by generative AI, spanning from PC to cloud. Furthermore, all users will be able to manage a broad variety of AI features thanks to NVIDIA’s long experience and competence in the field of artificial intelligence.

AI on RTX is already being used by users at home and in the workplace via applications that improve productivity and enjoyment. With improved frame rates and breathtaking resolutions in their preferred games, gamers may experience the advantages of AI on GeForce RTX GPUs. Rather of repeating boring activities or staring at spinning wheels, creators may concentrate on their creative process. Additionally, developers may automate debugging and simplify processes by using generative AI for prototyping.

The AI industry is expanding quickly. AI decoded will take on more difficult duties as research progresses. And RTX will manage the rigorous performance requirements.

AI in Video Games The biggest advances in AI decoded acceleration have been in gaming performance during the last six years. Since 2019, gamers have been able to increase frame rates and enhance picture quality by using NVIDIA DLSS. It’s a method that automatically creates pixels for video games using AI. It currently achieves up to 4x frame rate gains thanks to continuous enhancements.

Additionally, some of the best games in the world now have even better visuals because to the addition of Ray Reconstruction in the DLSS 3.5, the most recent version. This creates a new benchmark for visually richer and more engaging gameplay.

Nowadays, more than 500 games and apps that use ray tracing, DLSS, and AI-powered technologies have completely changed how people play and create.

Beyond frames, AI decoded will enhance character interactions and allow players to replay beloved games.

With the help of NVIDIA ACE microservices, developers can now add dynamic, intelligent digital avatars to their games, such as speech and movement models driven by generative AI. Showcasing its capacity to bring game characters to life as a window into the future of PC gaming, ACE’s demonstration at CES earned them many honors.

With the help of NVIDIA RTX Remix, modders may produce breathtaking RTX remasters of vintage games. The platform offers generative AI capabilities that can convert the simple textures from vintage games into physically based, 4K-resolution rendering materials. A number of projects, such as Portal with RTX and Half-Life 2 RTX, are either in development or have already been launched.

Artificial Intelligence for Creators By eliminating or automating laborious chores, AI decoded is enabling creativity by freeing up time for unadulterated creativity. The fastest or only supported PCs with NVIDIA RTX or GeForce RTX GPUs may use these capabilities.

RTX speeds up Adobe Premiere Pro’s Enhance Speech function, which uses AI decoded to reduce background noise and enhance speech clips so they seem professionally produced. RTX is up to 4.5 times quicker than Mac. Another Premiere tool, Auto Reframe, automatically reframes video footage for various aspect ratios by using GPU acceleration to detect and monitor the most important parts in a film.

The Magic Mask AI decoded function in DaVinci Resolve is another time-saving tool for video editors. Previously, editors had to employ a mix of rotoscoping methods or simple power windows and masks to separate the topic from the backdrop if they needed to change the color or brightness of a subject in a single shot or eliminate an unpleasant item.

That process has been entirely altered by Magic Mask. Just draw a line across the topic with it, and the AI will study it for a little while before displaying the choice. Additionally, GeForce RTX laptops may execute the function 2.5 times quicker than non-RTX laptops.

These are just a few examples of the ways artificial intelligence is accelerating creativity. RTX is presently used to accelerate over 125 AI applications.

AI for Programmers Through scalable environments, software and hardware improvements, and new APIs, artificial intelligence is improving the way software developers create software applications.

With PC-class speed and memory footprint, NVIDIA AI Workbench enables developers to swiftly construct, test, and tweak pretrained generative AI models and LLMs. This all-in-one, user-friendly toolbox may be used on RTX PCs locally or scaled to almost any data center, public cloud, or NVIDIA DGX Cloud.

Using NVIDIA TensorRT, a program that enables developers to fully use the Tensor Cores in RTX GPUs, developers may improve AI decoded models they have built for PC use cases.

With TensorRT-LLM for Windows, text-based apps may now take advantage of TensorRT acceleration. The open-source package improves LLM performance and comes with pre-optimized checkpoints for widely used models, such as Microsoft Phi-2, Google’s Gemma, Meta Llama 2, and Mistral.

An OpenAI Chat API TensorRT-LLM wrapper is also available to developers. Proceed with a single line of code modification. TensorRT-LLM may be used locally on an RTX PC by building an open-source autopilot for VS Code and JetBrains that taps into an LLM for quick, local LLM inference using this widely used tool.

Every week, they will provide new hardware, software, tools, and accelerations for RTX AI PC users and demystify AI decoded by making the technology more approachable.

Loan Approval in 30 Minutes - ATD Money

ATD Money is an instant personal loan app for salaried people. It is a technology platform which facilitates loans from its NBFC partners on terms and conditions agreed between the NBFC and the customer.

ATD and its Tire Pros dealers have raised nearly $2.5 million for the Gary Sinise Foundation since 2019. This is the third year they have participated in the Summer for Heroes giving campaign.

Payday Loans

If you are looking for a quick loan, you can try applying for a payday loan. These loans are usually short-term and should be paid back in full with your next paycheck. The process is fast and simple, and you can apply from anywhere using your mobile phone. If you are approved, the money will be deposited into your bank account. The company may also ask you to provide a postdated check to cover the amount of the loan plus a fee. The lender will cash this check when your loan period ends, and you will need to pay the additional fees if the loan is not repaid on time.

If you have bad credit, you can still get a quick loan by applying for a salary advance loan. This type of short-term unsecured loan is available to salaried employees who earn between fifteen and one hundred thousand rupees a month, and it can be used to cover emergency expenses. These loans are typically repaid in two business days, and the interest rate is much lower than that of other types of loans.

ATD Money is an online microfinance solution provider that offers a variety of loans to its customers. Its website features a variety of loan categories and includes a comparison tool that allows you to compare the prices and monthly payments of different loan products. The company is headquartered in Delhi and has offices throughout India. Its main goal is to help its customers improve their lives through financial services, and it works within the law to ensure that its customers are treated fairly.

ATD Money provides loans to salaried individuals in India, and it offers a convenient application process. The loans can be used for a wide range of purposes, including paying bills, buying groceries, and repairing a car. These loans are unsecured and offer low-interest rates, so they are an excellent option for people who need to borrow money quickly. The company also offers a mobile app for its customers, which makes the process of applying for a loan even easier.

Credit Card Advances

A credit card advance is a type of cash loan that you can receive with your credit card. It's usually easier to get than a personal loan, and it can be used for a variety of purposes. However, it's important to know the fees and interest rates associated with credit card advances before taking one out. These fees can add up quickly, so it's important to make sure you need the money before applying for a cash advance.

Getting an instant loan with your credit card is simple and easy, but it's also important to know the fees involved. Many credit cards charge a cash advance fee, which is typically a flat amount or a percentage of the total transaction. You may also be charged an ATM fee by the company that processes the withdrawal. If you want to avoid paying these fees, try to only use your credit card for emergencies.

The best way to get a loan with your credit card is through an online lender. These lenders can process applications in minutes and work within the law to ensure that their customers are treated fairly. These lenders also have a mobile app that can be used to apply for a loan on the go.

Besides the online loans, you can also visit your nearest ATD Money store to avail a short term financial help. This micro finance company in India is a reliable and trusted financial institution that offers a wide range of services, including payday loans and salary advance loans. These loans are ideal for salaried employees who need quick cash in between paychecks.

You can apply for a payday loan or salary advance through ATD Money in just a few minutes. The application process is completely online, and you can submit the required documents using a smartphone or tablet. Once you've been approved for a loan, the lender will deposit the funds into your bank account. You can also check your loan status through the app or website. ATD Money is a leading microfinance company that provides financial solutions to people across India. Founded in 2018, they're dedicated to helping people improve their lives through innovative products and services. Their products include payday loans, salary advance loans, and unsecured business loans.

Personal Loans

Unlike credit card advances, which come with high interest rates, personal loans are installment debt that you pay back in regular payments over a set period of time. Personal loans can be a good option for emergency expenses, as well as other financial needs. The best personal loan lenders have low interest rates and flexible repayment terms. In addition, they typically require more thorough documentation than payday or cash advance lenders. The loan application process can take a few business days, and you may need to provide multiple documents, including bank statements, pay stubs, and income verification.

The easiest loans to get are not personal, but rather payday or car title loans. These types of loans don't require a credit check, but they are also predatory in nature because of their high interest rates and fees. To avoid such traps, you should consider a personal loan from one of the best online lenders.

To qualify for a personal loan, you need to have a decent credit profile. Your credit score is a major factor, but your ability to repay the debt is equally important. To determine if you can afford the monthly payments, the lender will look at your debt-to-income ratio (DTI). Having a higher credit score and a lower DTI can help you qualify for a personal loan with better terms.

Once you choose a lender, it's important to submit your information correctly and on time. The loan origination process can be a bit cumbersome, but it's vital to do so to ensure that you receive the funds you need. It's also a good idea to set up payment reminders to avoid late fees and credit bruises.

After you submit all necessary documentation, you can expect to receive the funds within a few business days. The exact timing depends on the lender, and some lenders are known to process applications more quickly than others. The process of getting a personal loan takes longer than the process of getting a payday or credit card advance, but it's still an excellent option for those who need to borrow money quickly.

Cash Time

If you need a quick loan, there are a number of online lenders that offer cash loans for emergencies. These loans are generally unsecured and can be obtained without a credit check. However, be sure to read the fine print and compare interest rates before applying. Some lenders may charge hidden fees that can add up quickly. Also, be sure to pay back the loan in a timely manner to avoid high-interest rates and late fees.

If an emergency expense comes up, you may be in a hurry to get the money you need. Some payday lenders claim they can get funds to you within an hour, but it is important to know the reality before taking out a short-term loan. The actual amount of time it takes to receive the funds depends on several factors, including your bank’s processing times and whether the lender is able to verify your information.

Personal cash loans are one of the most popular forms of short-term lending available. They are easy to obtain and can be used for a wide variety of purposes, including paying off a credit card bill or covering unexpected expenses. However, the interest rates on these loans are higher than those on traditional bank loans, so they should be avoided if possible.

ATD Money offers a variety of instant cash loans to help you manage your finances. These loans are easy to apply for and can be approved in minutes. The company also offers a mobile application that makes it convenient to access your money. You can even get a cash loan with no collateral if you’re an Arizona resident.

The company provides a variety of loan products, including personal loans and salary advance loans. The latter are a good option for salaried employees who have poor credit scores and need extra cash to cover unexpected expenses. The company offers these loans at a lower rate than other companies, and the terms are flexible.

The company is a reputable business that works legally within the law. The company uses repossession as a last resort and always attempts to work with customers who are trying to make payments.

Blackbird Labs, a hospitality tech company whose platform helps restaurants stay in touch with guests and incentivize them to dine out more frequently, today announced that it raised $24 million in a Series A round led by Andreessen Horowitz with participation from QED, Union Square Ventures, Shine, Variant and others and restaurant groups Quality Branded, Rustic Canyon Group, Soulva and Brooks Reitz. Founder and CEO Ben Leventhal says that the proceeds, which bring Blackbird’s total raised to $35 million, will be put toward helping Blackbird scale its operations. “The restaurant business model is broken,” Leventhal told TechCrunch in an email interview. “It can be really expensive to remain at the top of a sea of competition. Operational costs are also at an all-time high, and restaurants need revenue. There’s only two paths forward: creating new revenue streams or creating regulars who’ll want to come back.” To Leventhal’s point, a 2022 survey from the National Restaurant Association (NRA) found that 54% of restaurant owners had to reduce the size of their dishes in response to rising food costs. A further 47% of the respondents said that they had to increase menu prices, as well. And restaurant failure rates aren’t exactly declining. Restaurants have about a 20% success rate, according to the NRA, with about 60% failing within the first year and 80% failing within five years of opening. Leventhal is perhaps best known for co-founding Eater, the food and drink publication (acquired by Vox in 2013), and Resy, the restaurant reservation service (acquired by American Express — which is also a Blackbird investor — in 2019). He came up with the idea for Blackbird in the early days of the pandemic after noticing that restaurants were finding innovative ways, like rolling out clothing lines and selling pancake mix, to keep customers engaged. “I was struck by the ingenuity of restaurants, who used their brands and audience to create sales streams that weren’t food,” Leventhal said. “This led me to start thinking about other ways restaurants could combat the serious business challenges of declining margins and eroding direct customer relationships.” Blackbird is designed to help restaurants both amplify their reach and reward guests, Leventhal says. How? By giving operators a way to not only greet diners by name, but learn their personal preferences, including when they last dined out, their preferred seating and their likes and dislikes. “With this knowledge, restaurants can serve guests in an unparalleled fashion, making them feel like they’re very important and appreciated regulars, and reward their ongoing patronage with free and appreciated perks,” Leventhal said. Blackbird does this by having diners touch their phone to a proprietary NFC reader to create a membership or “tap in.” Members can “level up” with each subsequent check-in, Leventhal says, unlocking benefits like off-menu items and a direct message concierge. Blackbird diners also earn virtual currency each visit, which can be spent on items (e.g. an entree or drink) or tallied toward membership rewards with restaurants via Blackbird’s smartphone app. There’s a web3 component; the currency is technically a cryptocurrency. Blackbird partnered with Privy, a crypto wallet management startup, to provide embedded wallets so users can sign up with a phone number and manage balances alongside their Blackbird membership. On the backend, Blackbird captures a range of diner data on restaurants’ behalves — including dining history, birthdays and home addresses — so restaurants can target diners with promotions. Restaurants can also use Blackbird to message “top-tier” members with access to a dedicated support line, letting them know when a reservation is made available, for example. Some customers might not feel comfortable sharing that sort of behavioral data with restaurants. But Leventhal insists that Blackbird is handling data collection in a “transparent” manner, going so far as to give diners control over which specific information (e.

g. dining history) restaurants see. Through Blackbird, restaurants can sell paid memberships to guests, as well. Leventhal says that one restaurateur, a Jewish bistro in Brooklyn, sold founding Blackbird memberships — complete with perks including personalized bomber jackets and a home dinner cooked by a private chef — as a crowdfunding tool before it even opened. The concept of promoting paid memberships in the restaurant industry — an increasingly common practice — is unavoidably polarizing. For most (including this reporter), dining out is expensive as it is, and having to pay to cut the line to reserve a hot new table or receive better treatment doesn’t exactly feel equitable. Leventhal, though, assures me that the goal isn’t to foster more ultra-exclusive dining clubs but to give diners at restaurants “of all sizes,” particularly small independent restaurants and restaurant groups, an additional way to support the venues they love. “With Blackbird’s technology platform, we’ve built a unique, intimate and symbiotic relationship between restaurants and their regulars,” he added. The question is, can diners be persuaded to use Blackbird in the first place? A 2023 poll by William Blair found that the majority of customers don’t opt into restaurant loyalty programs, and that only 35% consider loyalty programs in deciding which restaurants to visit. Leventhal believes that they can. And he has some data to back it up: since launching several months ago, New York City-based Blackbird — which has 20 full-time employees — has signed up around 80 restaurants including chef David Chang’s Momofuku chain, 22 of which are actively using Blackbird. “There’s no one out there that does exactly what we do,” Leventhal said. “We admire the loyalty programs built by Starbucks, Sweetgreen and more, but we’ve created Blackbird to be an easily accessible loyalty platform, empowering restaurants to have an unparalleled ability to engage customers, reward returning patrons and drive new revenue streams.” Blackbird’s future plans entail rolling out a referral program that’ll let diners invite friends to become members at a specific restaurant for exclusive dishes. Beyond this, Blackbird intends to experiment with its cryptocurrency, potentially offering membership upgrades, rewards for activity like tap-ins and ways to pay for parts of — or whole — meals. “Those at the forefront are trying to figure out how to achieve a broader diversity of revenue,” Leventhal said. “Blackbird is designed to be this solution for restaurants — driving loyalty, opening up for interesting revenue plays and incentivizing customers to return again and again.”
