even if you look at something like DLSS where “all” it’s doing is giving you a tractable approximation of a difficult optimization problem (weighting temporal samples inside a TAA algorithm), that’s such a broadly-applicable approach that it alone would probably change society. The value of increasing shipping or rail efficiency by 5-10% alone is worth billions, and there’s probably thousands of smaller optimization tasks it can be adapted to. The LLM stuff is an even bigger pot of gold potentially, a workable semantic embedding for semantic queries or other things is another thing that a million improvements can be shaken out of. it’s actually bizarre to me how much people stand on the “no commercial value!!!” thing, and I have to view some of it as just being the next round of histrionics from the same people who are mad their deviantart got scraped etc.
