The Queue: Glad that you could fake those frames, Uther
If you’re not terminally online like I am — first of all, good for you, because it means you get to miss the latest Nvidia DLSS discourse. The short version is that while DLSS 1 through 4.5 were legitimate ways to improve your framerate in games via some honestly ingenius graphics card shenanigans, DLSS 5 appears to throw all that out the window in favor of taking creative control away from the graphics professionals who designed it and handing it to the same slop factories that are responsible for AI deepfake videos. The internet has reacted accordingly, while Nvidia’s CEO has decided to take the Principal Skinner “no, it’s the children who are wrong” approach to the feedback.
At least we got a bumper crop of memes out of it, right?
Anyway, this is The Queue, our daily question and answer column where we have some thoughts about generative AI, but my mom taught me that if you don’t have anything nice to say, you say it quietly with your friends instead of in public. Let’s get to it.

The Queue: A brand new-ish car!
It’s the most money I’ve ever spent at once!
Now I’m the proud owner of a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe, and it has all sorts of decadent features like remote start and a heated steering wheel — which is just the most absurd thing that I assume I’ll never be able to live without now.
I hope to have many good years of driving with my new car. It’ll need a name, of course, but I figured I’d give it a week and see what comes to mind.
While I noodle on a name, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!
