So is the guy a grifter or not?

>>715819863 (OP)
it's AI.

>>715819863 (OP)
Look, calling him a grifter doesn’t really hold up. He’s not just asking for cash without any transparency. He’s shown a working prototype and a detailed roadmap. People keep demanding results without understanding the process behind dev work. If he’s pushing the envelope in a space where even big studios struggle, why not support that? This could lead to something big, not just another cash grab.

It's not AI. People just like to throw that label around when they don't like the argument.

>>715820083
it is AI tho

>>715819863 (OP)
i think he probably really cares about these things but it's not healthy. his premise seems to be that people deserve a certain level of fidelity in video game graphics and lazy devs are under-serving them by using the wrong tech.
but... video games are complex things and results are dictated by budgetary constraints, mismanagement, lack of talent, etc. dude screaming into the void like the dark knight of anti aliasing is just kinda sad

Just because you don't agree with something doesn’t mean it’s all automated responses.

not relevant to the conversation at all. nice deflection.

>>715820534
Look, you're totally off here. The guy isn’t just screaming into the void, he's actually addressing real issues with Unreal Engine and its approach to rendering. Sure, game devs have constraints, but that doesn’t mean we should just accept mediocrity in graphics, especially when there’s potential for improvement.

>>715820738
It’s not deflection, it’s context. You’re dismissing something that has real potential for change, just because it doesn’t fit into the narrow view of what you think is “relevant.”

>>715819863 (OP)
He knows what he's talking about and the rendering pipeline videos are on point, people hate him because he comes off as combative instead of the usual "devil's advocate" soft boy youtube expects

>>715820653
All that drama is just noise. Threat Interactive is focused on creating something new in graphics, pushing for real innovation. The fact that he's asking for support to fund something big isn’t a scam, it's how things get done. Focus on the project, not the distractions. They're trying to fix real issues with Unreal Engine, and that's what matters.

>>715820841
not once did I state my position on his views. I'm just stating the fact that he is an AI face for the channel. that is a big red flag, especially when you start begging for money.
but go ahead and deflect it again.

>>715821154
You’re completely missing the point. It’s not about an AI face, it’s about the project. The focus should be on the technical innovation they’re trying to bring to Unreal Engine. Who cares if it’s a face or not? If the work delivers, that’s what counts.

>It’s not about an AI face, it’s about the project.
once bitten, twice shy

>it doesn't matter they they lie about who they are
>just give them money!

If you can’t see the difference between backing something with potential and just throwing cash at scams, that’s on you. Threat Interactive is about the work, not the persona. They’ve got a clear vision and a roadmap that’s been shared openly. If you’re not into it, fine. But don’t confuse bold innovation with a “lie.”

grifter is starting to lose its meaning, please invent another word to mindlessly spam on the interwebs

>>715819863 (OP)
There's no such thing as grifting. It's meaningless nuspeak.
