This is a normal post I was frankly surprised by how much live-action Carrie-Anne Moss resembles CGI Carrie-Anne Moss.
It's all very impressive, although I think many gamers are going to struggle to keep their expectations in check. This is still just a tech demo after all, and although I do suspect we'll be seeing games with the kind of visual fidelity seen during the car chase segments in the next few years, they are by no means just around the corner.
The open-world walkaround segments are still bloody impressive, but console owners (in particular) are an entitled lot, and I suspect Unreal teasing them with footage such as this is going to end in a similar fashion to the reception that Cyberpunk received on the PS4 last year. This is a sandbox at the end of the day and they aren't going to get anywhere close to these kinds of visuals and get 60 or 120(!) fps and get 4K resolution in a fully fleshed out GTA style game on their PS5 or Xbox Series X any time soon.

The Nanite technology is absolutely fascinating, though - and I reckon a lot of people aren't going to give it the attention it deserves simply due to how visually stunning the demo is. Digital Foundry have done a really good analysis on it which is well worth a watch, even if computer games aren't really your thing.

I mean yes, the tech is important, but useless if all you have to show is orange boxes and t-posing NPCs. Just as good geometry needs good textures, good tech needs good assets.

This is a normal post to be fair i reckon confirmation bias is almost humans default position, and something even conscientious scientist need to actively police in themselves
but there is this kind of odd assumption in anti-vaxxers, like 9-11 conspiricy theorists, that because their position is contrary to authority or orthodoxy, that therefore it's more credible. It's "most people are against us, therefore we must be right". That these dickwits, youtube jocks, fringe scientists often talking outside their field (like the retired paediatrician above giving her opinion on epidemiology and public health policy) who they turn to, are somehow not out to exploit them and generate hits or a profile for themselves, while actual scientists and experts are. It's not an intellectual position, it's an "Us-who-know-the-real-truth" club that you join, and it attracts the kind of people whose personality that appeals to.

This is a normal post Indeed.
My partner's step-sister is one roll away from going full tinfoil. She occasionally asks searching questions about stuff I deal with at work (pharmaceutical manufacturing) like "but how do you know what's in vaccines?", which is fair enough and she is quite right to challenge assumptions. The problem is that she doesn't subject her own views/opinions to the same scrutiny. So maybe it's down to a lack of self-awareness.

I try to avoid her, though. Last time I saw her, she asked if I could get hold of some Ivermectin because Joe Rogan was taking it.

This is a normal post I don't think there has necessarily been an influx of congenital halfwitism over the past few generations.
But rather the weak-willed and hypersuggestible members of contemporary society are significantly more vulnerable to fuckwit conspiracy theories and the like thanks in no small part to the prevalence of social media.
Before the turn of the millennium, (besides a moronity of conspiracy theory enthusiasts meeting up in church halls/on usenet/etc) people's general level of fuckwittery didn't really exceed old wife's tales about taking hot baths as an alternative to the morning after pill and so on.
But these days, nonsense like Qanon, 5G mind control projects, etc are being pumped into their brains en masse by the world's largest gathering of neckbeards.

There aren't more of them. Just a significantly larger audience.
