We sat down to talk about NVIDIA’s DLSS 5… and somehow ended up deep in philosophical chaos 😅 What starts as a breakdown of next-gen AI upscaling tech quickly spirals into debates about The Trolley Problem and the Milgram Experiment. Things get a little heated, but don’t worry—we kept it civil (mostly). If you came for gaming tech, you’ll get it. If you stayed for unexpected existential dilemmas…...

Taylor admits he absolutely loses his mind when he’s home alone, while Dre explains how he’s trained himself to stay calm like a Jedi.

Dre shares his own “tech betrayal” story, proving computers are just chaotic little gremlins.
