DLSS 5 introduces full neural rendering, shifting from performance enhancement to AI-driven image generation layered over game assets.
Early demos impressed developers but triggered backlash online, with players criticizing altered character faces and “uncanny” visuals.
Viral “DLSS OFF vs ON” memes captured concerns that the tech changes artistic intent rather than simply improving performance.
Jensen Huang called it the “GPT moment for graphics.” The internet called it a “yassification filter” with a $1,500 GPU requirement.
At GTC 2026 this week, NVIDIA unveiled DLSS 5—its most technically ambitious graphics feature to date, and almost certainly its most memed.
Unlike previous DLSS versions, which focused on upscaling or frame generation, DLSS 5 goes full neural rendering. It takes a game’s color buffer and motion vectors and then reinterprets them.

Skin gets subsurface scattering. Fabric gets that cinematic sheen. Hair, lighting, shadows, all dialed up toward what NVIDIA describes as Hollywood-level photorealism, generated in real time.
Think less “upscaling” and more “a second AI artist repainting your game every frame.”
Early demos ran on dual RTX 5090s. One GPU for the game, one for the neural model. But NVIDIA says single-GPU support is coming ahead of a Fall 2026 rollout.
Big titles like Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Starfield, Resident Evil Requiem, and Oblivion Remastered are already lined up. Developers can tweak intensity, masking, and colour grading to preserve their intended look.
That last part turned out to be doing a lot of heavy lifting. The tech press loved it. Everyone else, not so much.
Hands-on previews praised the lighting and detail as “astonishing,” especially on faces and environments. Developers echoed the hype, with Starfield director Todd Howard saying it “brought [the game] to life.”
But the internet saw something else entirely.
YouTube comments, Reddit threads, and gaming forums lit up with terms like “AI slop,” “uncanny valley,” and “Instagram filter gone wrong.”
Resident Evil Requiem’s Grace Ashcroft became the flashpoint, with side-by-side comparisons showing a version players described as plastic, airbrushed, and weirdly over-enhanced.
Then came the memes.
The format hit instantly: “DLSS 5 OFF vs ON.” OFF was the original art. ON was… something else.

Kratos with full makeup. Patrick Star turned into a hyper-real nightmare. Even Jensen Huang got the treatment.
It spread fast enough that even major creators and devs joined in.
And that’s the thing—gamers have been fine with DLSS for years. Upscaling, frame gen, all of it. Because it was invisible. It helped performance without changing the art. DLSS 5 breaks that contract.
At a press Q&A with Tom’s Hardware during GTC 2026, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang pushed back on the growing backlash, dismissing claims that DLSS 5 makes games look worse or imposes a uniform “AI look” across titles.
“Well, first of all, they’re completely wrong,” he said when asked about the reaction. “The reason for that is because, as I have explained very carefully, DLSS 5 fuses controllability of the geometry and textures and everything about the game with generative AI,” Huang added.
In other words, Nvidia sees DLSS 5 as an extension of the original scene, not a replacement for it. That distinction may be technically accurate. It just hasn’t stopped the internet from turning it into meme fuel.
But it isn’t just enhancing an image. It’s making decisions about how that image should look. When the AI hits a character’s face, it’s not asking what the artist intended. It’s applying its own idea of realism.
That shift, from tool to taste, is what people are reacting to. Because at that point, it’s not just about better graphics. It’s about whose graphics they are.

Embark Studios, maker of The Finals and Arc Raiders, was formed back in 2018 by former veterans of Battlefield maker DICE. It’s now parted ways with one of those cofounders, CCO Rob Runesson, following allegations of an inappropriate relationship with an esports streamer involved with one of the studio’s games. Embark said the decision was mutual despite an outside investigate being unable to substantiate the allegations after they first spread on social media.
“Our leadership team was recently made aware of allegations against an Embark employee,” the studio told IGN in a statement. “We take these matters seriously, and as a part of our process for addressing any types of allegations, we immediately hired a law firm to conduct an external investigation. The investigation did not substantiate the allegations, but we found the situation unsustainable and mutually agreed to part ways with Rob.”
The allegations of an inappropriate relationship with an esports streamer for The Finals were circulated online via multiple Google docs and discussed across various channels and subreddits, IGN reports. An anonymous person claimed a popular female streamer had concerns about a sexual relationship she had with Runesson but was unable to do something about it because he leveraged his stature to promote her channel. However, the female streamer in question later reached out to IGN to say that some of the allegations circulated were out of context or misleading.
Runesson was an art lead at DICE across several well known games, including Mirror’s Edge, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and Star Wars: Battlefront. He formed Embark along with several fellow former colleagues including Magnus Nordin, Stefan Strandberg, Jenny Huldschiner, and Patrick Söderlund. Runesson most recently served as chief content officer for the Nexon owned studio whose 2025 extraction shooter hit Arc Raiders has sold over 14 million copies. Runesson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The studio recently addressed other allegations of misconduct within The Finals’ competitive scene between individual players. “For the sake of our community, our players, our partners, and the long term health of our game, we believe it is responsible to temporarily pause our current outbound esports efforts,” Embark posted in The Finals Discord last month. “This season’s competitive model was built with strong intentions, and it is our role to ensure it meets the standards we set.”
Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing wrapped up on Channel 4 tonight – and after weeks of being quite literally stuck together, viewers finally found out who won (and who couldn’t wait to be let loose…).
Hosted by Jonathan Ross, the bonkers reality series saw 18 strangers chained wrist-to-wrist in a bid to win £100,000. The experiment tested patience, boundaries and, at times, personal space in ways no one could have predicted.
After a final showdown that sent the last three couples racing from Scotland to Wales and on to London, it was Charlie and Rob who went the distance and were crowned winners.

‘Freedom!’ might not have been the only thing on Rob’s mind… (Credit: Channel 4)
Who won Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing tonight?
Charlie and Rob beat out the competition – including reality TV veteran Tilly – and ended their journey atop a London double-decker bus, where they were finally uncuffed and handed their £100k prize.
But while you’d think freedom would be all cheers and celebrations, Rob had mixed feelings.
“It was a nice moment… but also a little sad,” he admitted, clearly having formed an unexpectedly close bond with his partner.
Charlie, meanwhile, was having none of the sentimentality.
“It was a huge relief,” she laughed. “We had to wait quite a long time – it wasn’t like we were instantly un-handcuffed!”
Fair enough… after weeks of zero personal space, who wouldn’t want a bit of breathing room?
From being inseparable to finally flying solo… (Credit: Channel 4)
Rob’s VERY cheeky first move after being uncuffed
Now, this is where things got a bit… X-rated.
Rob, 32 – who works as an OnlyFans creator – didn’t exactly keep things PG when revealing what was top of his to-do list once he finally got some alone time.
“Being in the porn industry, I tend to have a [bleep] at least once a day,” he said, before cheekily admitting that, ahem, taking care of himself was “probably the first thing on my priority list.”
Still, it wasn’t all about pent-up frustration. Rob also said the experience had given him a bit of a reality check.
“I learned that money doesn’t always buy happiness,” he reflected. “I was working too hard and not having an equal balance.”
‘We don’t have to keep our friendship secret’
As for Charlie, she’s just happy she can finally go public with her friendship with Rob.
“He’s such a gentle giant,” she said. “It’s lovely now that we don’t have to keep our friendship secret.”
The pair have stayed close since filming wrapped, constantly texting – and even getting their families involved. Yes, really.
Charlie revealed Rob has been chatting to her husband Simon (who famously struggled with Rob’s OnlyFans career earlier in the series), while she’s been getting to know Rob’s mum.
And now? They’re all meeting up. “He and his family are coming over to our house this Friday night to celebrate,” she said.

In global travel hubs, car rental counters have long been dominated by multinational operators managing capital-intensive fleets financed through debt-heavy balance sheets. But in high-seasonal tourist markets such as Spain’s Canary Islands, a different model is quietly gaining traction – one that relies on digital coordination rather than vehicle ownership.
As travel demand rebounds and cost structures tighten, smaller asset-light booking platforms are emerging as competitive alternatives to traditional fleet operators.
One such company is CarzRent [https://carzrent.com/], a Tenerife-based car rental booking platform founded by entrepreneur Nils Joksts. Unlike legacy rental firms, the company does not own vehicles. Instead, it connects travelers with a network of carefully selected independent local providers, each managing fleets of 50 to 100 vehicles.
The result is a technology-driven, asset-light structure that, according to Joksts, allows for operational flexibility and margin stability during seasonal fluctuations.
“The traditional rental model is heavily exposed to depreciation cycles and financing risk,” Joksts says. “In island economies, where demand is highly seasonal, coordination and transparency can be more valuable than scale.”
Capital Intensity Meets Seasonal Volatility
The global car rental industry has historically relied on fleet expansion to capture market share. Major operators typically carry significant vehicle inventory that must be financed, insured, and depreciated – creating vulnerability during downturns.
During the pandemic, several global rental firms faced acute liquidity challenges as travel demand collapsed and fleet values fluctuated. While demand has since recovered, the episode highlighted structural fragilities within capital-heavy models.
Tourist island markets such as Tenerife operate under a distinct economic rhythm. Demand surges during peak seasons but compresses during off-months, amplifying risk for operators holding large owned fleets.
Asset-light booking platforms reduce exposure by distributing operational risk across local partners while maintaining centralized digital booking infrastructure.
CarzRent currently aggregates approximately 750 vehicles across Tenerife through partnerships with nine independent rental operators. Rather than expanding through asset acquisition, growth occurs through additional partnerships and digital booking optimization.
Industry observers note that such distributed supply models mirror broader trends in the travel sector, where platforms increasingly coordinate fragmented local infrastructure without owning the underlying assets.
Transparency as a Market Differentiator
Another structural challenge in the car rental industry lies in pricing complexity. Across Europe, consumer complaints frequently cite deposit retention practices, insurance upselling, and opaque fee structures.
Booking platforms have begun positioning transparency as a competitive advantage.
According to Joksts, clearly defined deposit policies and standardized partner criteria reduce post-booking disputes and improve customer retention.
“Trust reduces friction,” he says. “When customers understand the full cost upfront, conversion improves and operational conflicts decline.”
In high-tourism destinations, reputation spreads quickly through online review platforms, making clarity in pricing a measurable competitive lever.
Local Optimization Versus Global Standardization
While multinational brands rely on global scale and standardized procedures, localized booking platforms optimize for regional market dynamics.
In Tenerife, where infrastructure constraints and peak-season demand create supply bottlenecks, mid-sized local operators with established logistics often operate more efficiently than centralized airport-focused brands.
The platform model combines digital distribution with localized execution – a hybrid structure increasingly common across the broader travel economy.
CarzRent reports operating margins between 35% and 50%, reflecting reduced capital expenditure requirements and flexible cost structures. While smaller in scale compared to global incumbents, such margin profiles demonstrate the economic viability of decentralized models in specific markets.
A Broader Shift in Travel Economics
As global tourism continues stabilizing post-pandemic, structural questions remain about capital allocation in travel-related industries.
Fleet-heavy operators must continuously manage acquisition cycles and resale timing. Asset-light booking platforms, by contrast, prioritize technology infrastructure, partner network management, and demand optimization.
Analysts suggest that in markets characterized by seasonality, geographic isolation, and tourism dependency, platform-driven systems may prove structurally resilient.
For Joksts, the long-term opportunity lies not in competing directly with multinational brands, but in refining regional efficiency.
“Tourist islands operate under different economic physics,” he says. “If you build for flexibility instead of volume, you can outperform much larger competitors in those environments.”
Whether booking platforms represent a niche adaptation or the early phase of broader structural change in the rental sector remains to be seen. But in destinations like the Canary Islands, competitive dynamics are already evolving.

Days of Our Lives divulges that Jeremy Horton (Michael Roark) was finally exonerated after many months of false assumptions and accusations being thrown in his face. And if you recall, Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) packed him snacks when Jeremy packed his car because he was planning to leave school that day and head to New York. He was going to stay with his dad, Mike Horton (Roark Critchlow).
But after this co-kidnapping ordeal with Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein), we might actually see Jeremy stay. We know Michael Roark exits on April 29th, but we’re going to talk about whether there is a recast coming.
Alex Assaults Jeremy After Misreading the Scene on Days of Our Lives
So, if you recall, Jeremy and Stephanie had gotten themselves free and then she collapsed and Jeremy was holding her. So, by the time Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) showed up to rescue her, she had already mostly been rescued. It was just the door lock keeping them in. And at the end of last week, Alex and Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) got into Dr. Wilhelm Rolf’s (Richard Wharton) and EJ DiMera‘s (Dan Feuerriegel) secret lab behind the Tom Horton Free Clinic. And boy was Alex surprised when he burst in on Jeremy who was gently cradling Stephanie in his arms.
You know, hotheaded Alex misread the scene, which you can understand. If you come in and she looks unconscious, dead, drugged, whatever, and the stalker is holding her, you would freak out. So, he assaulted Jeremy. He punched him several times before Stephanie screamed for him to stop. And then she explained that Jeremy didn’t kidnap her. It was Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey) that did it. And the assault came right after Stephanie dislocated Jeremy’s thumb so he could free them.
Jeremy Tried to Play Hero on DOOL
And of course, after seeing Owen posing as a school janitor and then Thomas DiMera (Cary Christopher) finding Stephanie’s cell phone, Jeremy put two and two together and bravely followed Owen to the hospital. And then Jeremy waited until the coast was clear and he tried to play hero and rescue Stephanie, but we all saw that that was an epic fail.
She started screeching because she wrongly blamed Jeremy for all the stalking and then her kidnapping. And then Owen popped up and that shocked Stephanie. And then he grabbed Jeremy and also took him prisoner. So Owen had two kidnap victims when he only wanted one. He was ready to kill the bonus kidnap victim.
And then Stephanie apologized to Jeremy and they immediately began plotting their escape. So, Stephanie tricked Owen into unlocking her handcuffs. She claimed that her legs were in pain from sitting for so long.
And Stephanie played into Owen’s obsession for her and kissed him so she could slide her hands down his back pocket and get his cell. And of course, Owen was livid when he heard the 911 dispatcher talking and then Stephanie and Jeremy started screaming for help.
Days of our Lives: Jeremy & Stephanie Work Together
So, Owen handcuffed her and then after they were both left that way, they slid back together and she yanked Jeremy’s thumb out of the socket so that Jeremy could be free of his cuffs. And then Stephanie coached Jeremy how to use bobby pins from her hair to unlock her handcuffs.
But Jeremy’s luck ran out when he tried to pick the door lock. So he was able to free Stephanie, but she was so weak, she just collapsed in his arms. And then Alex burst in and commenced with the unnecessary beating. But of course, he didn’t know that.
The Apology Tour Begins on Days
So, once Stephanie and Jeremy were safely at the hospital, the apology tour that I expected began. First, Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) told Jeremy she was sorry. And I mean, Jada was brutal to him on their Salem singles match date, and then they were actually trying to accuse Jeremy of hacking the system.
That was just the most preposterous assumption in all of this for me. So, after Jada’s I’m sorry, Alex went to Jeremy’s room to apologize for hurting him and making all those nasty accusations and confrontations. I mean, Alex has been really aggro with Jeremy for a while. And Alex asked Jeremy if he was still planning to leave Salem.
And this was right after Jeremy had a call with Julie to let her know what happened. So, surprisingly, Jeremy hinted he may stick around Salem. And honestly, it makes sense story-wise for him to stay given what’s coming next month for Alex and Stephanie. That could blow their relationship apart.
Days of Our Lives: Jeremy Horton
Is Jeremy Being Recast?
However, we also know that Michael Roark’s last date on Days is April 29th. So, that has me wondering if they’ve done a possible Jeremy recast that we just don’t know about yet. Michael Roark’s a very busy guy. I was honestly surprised he had time to take the role of Jeremy on Days.
He has a major role in a very steamy streaming series called The Black Dagger Brotherhood. If you haven’t read the books, I have. I love them. They are smoking hot. And Michael Roark plays Butch, this hunky New York cop. He’s got the accent and everything.
He’s a prominent character in the books and he’s confirmed for season two. I expect to see him in the series as long as it carries on because he is a major character in the books. So, season two of Black Dagger just started filming. If you want to see Michael Roark in it, you can catch the show on Passionflix. It’s a romance movie streaming platform with lots of sexy shows.
So anyway, he couldn’t stay on as Jeremy because he had these other obligations. And while there have been no official updates that they are switching up Jeremy actors, it could have happened in Days of Our Lives just kept it quiet because they filmed so many months ahead, 9 to 10 months ahead right now.
It could have flown completely under the radar that Michael Roark left and somebody new just stepped right into the role. And we know Days has no issue with recasts. We’ve seen them swap actors in and out plenty of times.
Jeremy Could Be Part of a Love Triangle on Days of Our Lives
And if Jeremy is recast and stays in Salem, he could be a friend that Stephanie can lean on when Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) returns to Salem, presumably after delivering her and Alex’s baby. If you remember, Joy left town pregnant, but she lied to both Alex and Stephanie and said she wasn’t knocked up.
So Joy is set to show up in town on April 24th, which is the day after May Sweeps kicks off. And Michael Roark will still be on screen for a few episodes when Alex’s ex-fling Joy comes back with some baby mama drama.
And given how traumatized Stephanie is and what she and Jeremy went through together, I could see her turning to him for comfort over this Joy situation. Plus, Alex doesn’t know it yet, but Stephanie doesn’t want kids and he wants a whole houseful of little Kiriakis kids. And if Jeremy is recast, we could get a love triangle or even a quadrangle if you add Joy into the equation.
Days of our Lives: Jeremy Stays?
Plus, trauma bonding is real. And the only person right now who understands exactly what Stephanie’s gone through is Jeremy because he went through it with her. So Stephanie may also be a little upset with Alex for beating up an already injured Jeremy. And it’s obvious Alex would be happy to see Jeremy out of town as soon as he’s out of the hospital.
And as much as I would love to see Michael Roark continue as Jeremy, I would be okay with another actor stepping in to play the part, which would give Alex a run for his money, especially once Joy comes to town. So, we’ll see how it goes, but we may get a secret recast. Wait and see.

Tracker‘s Justin Hartley is standing by his decision to pay his daughter for her good grades — regardless of how expensive it has become.
“It’s an incentive,” Hartley, 49, said during an interview on the Monday, March 16, episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show. “It started off as this really good plan that I had, and now I think she’s independently wealthy and I’ve created a monster.”
Hartley, who shares 21-year-old daughter Isabella with ex-wife Lindsay Korman, noted that his approach has “worked,” adding, “I think she would probably get those grades even without the money, but she does get the money and gets straight As since her freshman year in high school.”
Despite other parents possibly having different thoughts, Hartley is proud of Isabella.

Tracker‘s Justin Hartley has made rare comments about his daughter, Isabella. Hartley became a dad after then-wife Lindsay Korman welcomed their daughter in 2004. The pair called it quits in 2012 but remained focused on coparenting successfully. “Communication [is key],” the actor exclusively told Us Weekly in 2019. “It’s nothing new. Communication and an understanding […]
“So that is why I keep taking all these jobs, because I have to give all my money to my daughter,” he quipped. “She gets a decent amount — it’s a lot of hard work. It is like her job.”
The actor has previously opened up about his dynamic with his daughter. Hartley exclusively told Us Weekly in 2019 that he considered Isabella his “best friend.”
“We do everything from read to surf Instagram,” he shared. “We’ll go for walks. We played basketball yesterday morning. … We swim, we go for drives, we do everything.”
Hartley continued: “It’s nice. I’m lucky to have a [daughter] who I feel like tells me everything or can tell me everything. She probably doesn’t tell me everything, but I think she feels like she can. That was the goal. … She’s my best friend.”
The actor also reflected on being a working dad.
“My daughter’s very self-sufficient and very smart. She’s very resourceful, so I’m thankful that that’s the case [and] I get a lot of help from my ex-wife,” he shared. “I get a lot of help from my daughter. I mean, she’s the one that’s making it all go around. She deserves all the credit.”
Thank You!

More recently, Hartley reflected on sending Isabella off to college.
“It’s tough when they leave,” he said during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show in 2022. “You think you’re ready for it, because as they get older, they gain independence, and they’re gone a lot anyway. They have their own friends and their own interests. You can always, I guess, go see them.”
Hartley admitted he was still coming to terms with it, adding, “But when they’re [really] gone, it really is a text or a phone call. And you know, she’s 18, so let’s be honest, it’s a text. I’m not getting phone calls, which is normal, but I hate it.”
Bethany Peaty, the sister of Adam Peaty, has finally addressed her mother’s absence from her brother’s wedding.

Bethany Peaty made up with her mum ‘for the children’ following family feud
While tensions remain high between the feuding family members, Beth told the Daily Mail that she has now reconciled with her mother, Caroline, 60, for the sake of her children.
Beth, who is a carer with an eight-year-old son and a five-year-old daughter, described the period as a “very difficult time”. She said she was “caught right in the middle of the row”.
“I’ve made up with mum really for the children. They adore her and she is a great grandma and a good mum,” she explained.
Beth expressed her sadness that Adam had prevented their mother from attending the wedding, saying it was “a shame and very sad she couldn’t go”.
She revealed she had tried to act as a bridge between the feuding family members but admitted it was challenging. “We as Peatys are very strong-minded people,” she explained.
Beth also confessed that she had been captivated by the allure of the celebrity lifestyle, though a family source indicated she has since pulled away from the Ramsays.
Looking back on the experience, she reflected: “It’s a wonderful world, a very different one to the one we know.”
Adam has reportedly still not made up with his mother (Credit: Splashnews.com)
‘She sold her soul by backing Adam’
Beth’s interview with the Daily Mail arrives after a family source told the paper she had been “a bit of a snake”.
“Beth had a glimpse into a different life and sold her soul by backing Adam to be part of it. She’s come running back to mum and they have reconciled,” they said.
The mother-of-two attended the Ramsays’ wedding as maid of honour. Beth and Holly’s sisters, policewoman Megan and aspiring chef Tilly, all impressed in floor-length red satin dresses.
Although Adam and his sister once appeared close, the source says they have grown apart. “They were never close growing up,” the insider continued.
The source also claimed Beth still resents Caroline for being absent during her childhood, especially while taking Adam on swimming trips.
Despite this, Beth put her differences aside and reconciled with Caroline in time for Mother’s Day. Adam, however, has had no contact and hasn’t reached out to Caroline for four months.

We have tragic news to report from the world of sports today.
Rex Culpepper — the former Syracuse University quarterback whose parents competed on the reality show Survivor — has passed away.
He was just 28 years old.

Culpepper proposed to girlfriend just weeks before death
News of Culpepper’s death comes courtesy of an announcement from the Syracuse football program.
“Rex lived his life with endless passion, having overcome cancer at the age of 20 while playing for the Orange. Appearing in 30 games, Rex played football as fierce as he lived life,” the team said in a statement (per People).
“Our hearts are with the Culpepper family & all those who loved him.”
Culpepper passed away just weeks after he proposed to longtime girlfriend Savanna Morgan.
“No one expects to meet the love of your life and lose them in only 6 short years after meeting,” Morgan wrote on Instagram this week.

“Rex didnt always believe in soulmates but towards the end he told me that he didnt realize what having a soulmate felt like until we felt like extensions of each other,” she continued, adding:
“And one thing about us is that we lived every single day like it was our last.
“We did every little thing that we set our minds to, between learning new skills and hobbies, and traveling to new places, there was never any free time with us and not a moment spent apart. I dont regret a single day in our 6 years.”
Rex Culpepper’s loved ones confirm surprising cause of death
Culpepper battled testicular cancer in 2018, and heshocked his treatment team by still starting under center for SU the following season.
The feat earned him the school’s Jim DaRin Courage Award.

Rex’s death, however, had nothing to do with his previous health issues.
Culpepper’s family has confirmed that he was killed in a dirt bike accident in Florida.
The Culpeppers are well known in the world of football, as Rex’s dad, Brad, was a defensive tackle who played in the NFL for the Minnesota Vikings, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Chicago Bears.
He later appeared on Survivor: Blood vs Water and Survivor: Game Changers.
Rex’s mother, Monica Culpepper, also competed on Survivor: Blood vs. Water, and she later appeard on Survivor: One World.
