I realized that I need no notebooks, todos, calendars, nor #wiki. Thus my surprise at people making elaborate #Obsidian systems, using smart topic-based indexing, or maintaining a digital garden.
Because my workflows are artifact-based, uni-dimensional, and queued. I either produce an artifact (be it blog post, piece of software, or an art piece) right now. Or I don’t. And if I need to do something, then there’s an (often physical) artifact reminding me of that. It’s not a structured #TODO, it’s an unread instant message awaiting an action. Or a scrap of paper with LAUNDRY in huge letters lying on my table. Or a call someone will make me in the future.
I peddle in evocative images and scraps, not in bullet lists and weekly charts.
Am I misunderstanding life or am I too privileged to not need a calendar?
There may be great reasons to be skeptical about and to resist DLSS 5, but "OMG, this looks so much worse" is not one of them.

Gamers react with overwhelming disgust to DLSS 5's generative AI glow-ups
Nvidia's next frame-gen tech goes way beyond upscaling, and not in a good way.Kyle Orland (Ars Technica)
@Gargron Yes, I think it looks better. I do think some of the criticisms (the article has some great quotes about it having less "character" or becoming more same-y) are totally valid, but I think aesthetically it works for me. Reads more like video game than AI slop to me, and the examples in the demo are mostly improvements.
That being said, I know these *are* demos, and represent what Nvidia chose to show; maybe DLSS 5's output is mostly obvious AI slop. But judging by these example my problem with the tech is not "makes it look worse."
I think realism has its place. Two of my favorite games of the last decade are Fortnite (super cartoony) and Immortality (every frame of every person involved is a live actor being recorded). Immortality wouldn't have worked if it hadn't looked (in a certain sense, hadn't BEEN) real.
But to your point, I don't know that I would have enjoyed Immortality as much if it had been generated to look like that rather than the developers literally filming three movies' worth of material to make it. Like I said, I think DLSS 5 LOOKS better; where I agree with the critics is that I don't know that I want it.
@Gargron I also think part of my reaction to it is it does feel like something closer to up-sampling. Obviously more is going on than what we would usually mean by that, but this isn't like someone's whole-cloth AI slop "photo" or video generated from a prompt. This is still someone's artistic vision and direction, just with details filled in procedurally at a crazy scale.
We might still not want that (I'm saying I like it and *I'm* not even sure I want it), but I don't feel the same knee jerk "Eww, that's worse!" reaction that it seems some folks do.
Whoa, that was a close one. I almost replied to someone's brid.gy account.
Stay safe out there, people.
