Bill Gates reckons AI spells the end for Amazon and searching for stuff on Google-

Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates recently spoke at the AI Forward event in San Francisco, and outlined how he thinks AI is going to change our lives and economies. Our interactions with the internet especially, Gates believes, will never be the same.

“Whoever wins the personal agent, that’s the big thing, because you will never go to a search site again, you will never go to a productivity site, you’ll never go to Amazon again,” said Gates, while making it clear that he doesn’t think the current AI models are there yet (thanks, Reuters). In his mind it is imminent, however, whether designed by a startup or his own Microsoft (which recently invested $10 billion in ChatGPT).

“I’d be disappointed if Microsoft didn’t come in there”, said Gates. “But I’m impressed with a couple of startups, including Inflection.” Inflection AI is a startup co-founded by Mustafa Suleyman, formerly of DeepMind.

The ‘personal agent’ Gates references is the current AI Holy Grail, software that integrates into a person’s daily life and assists them in pretty much every mundane task. You won’t think “damn I need a babysitter this Thur…

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree’s story trailer has fans thinking we just saw the bloody birth of a god-

A now-deleted post on the Elden Ring subreddit states it plainly: “MARIKA MADE THE ERDTREE FROM A MOUNTAIN OF CORPSES …” The other half of the title is a Berserk spoiler and the reason the thread was taken down, but Reddit user ILBOI_X isn’t alone in this theory. Everyone is pointing at the pillars of bodies in the new Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree story trailer and calling it a tree.

Of course there is lore to support this. Elden Ring fans always keep item descriptions in their back pocket when something new needs to be dissected.

Reddit user Probablychris believes the stack of bodies “will be at the center of theorycrafting for the next few years” and made a post asking for people’s thoughts. Several Elden Ring fans are pretty sure they’re the Erdtree before it was the Erdtree. Item descriptions in the game already reveal that something existed before it that was called “the Crucible”, and it was “where all life was once blended together.”

“I’ve seen some people speculate that this is the Crucible, which could definitely fit,” Reddit user Skeletickles wrote. “It is, after all, the place where all life [was] once blended together, and those bodies su…

Helldivers 2 is about being the ‘evil guys in the galaxy,’ says Johan Pilestedt- ‘Would you be able to survive a galactic war without plot armor to protect you-‘-

The notion that we ought to read Helldivers 2’s galactic war as a straightforward story about humanity’s noble defense against alien bugs and robots is too oblivious to warrant serious debate—Super Earth has a Ministry of Truth!—but in the endless churn of social media discourse, the interpretation has been posed.

In a talk at game development conference Nordic Game in Sweden this week, Arrowhead Games chief creative officer Johan Pilestedt put the studio’s intentions plainly. The “original hypothesis” for Helldivers 2, he said, was to cast players as the “evil guys in the galaxy,” like stormtroopers, and to see how they fare as background extras who are meant to fly off balconies when the good guys charge in shooting.

“You know when they try to breach the cell block in Star Wars, and the first stormtrooper through the door, he of course gets shot in the chest by Han Solo,” said Pilestedt. “And that’s the question: Would you do better climbing into that room trying to capture the bad guys that are trying to take over your lovely Death Star?”

The full pitch for Helldivers 2, which Pilestedt included in a presentation slide, was: “The Helldivers is a …

I wrote this article in record time thanks to a gamified focus tool that turned me into my own lofi girl-

Most days I feel like my brain is constantly in overdrive. I struggle to happily exist in silence, everything is vying for my attention, and I have a severe case of Magpie Syndrome that leads me astray down hours-long rabbit holes when I should be focusing on an important task. I’ve been doing a lot of research into productivity crap lately as a result—how the hell do I become a better, more well-rounded adult who has their shit together? Turns out, maybe it’s videogames.

Spirit City: Lofi Sessions launched on Steam earlier this week. It’s a productivity tool disguised as a cutesy, cosy videogame that lets me design my very own lofi girl or synthwave boy and plonk them into a snug, customisable bedroom. Oh, and I even get to choose my own wee spirit pet who naps alongside me. Now, does that part actually help me be more productive at all? Not really—in fact, it’s actually carved a 30-minute chunk out of my work day, sorry boss—but it sure does look pretty.

I’ve outfitted virtual Mollie in a cosy hoodie-sweatpants combo and decorated my room with copious fairy lights and polaroids (gotta make it a little like real life somehow), which means I can now…

I make no apologies for the geeky pleasure I get watching a 56-core CPU just monster this benchmark-

If you fancy a little light, safe-for-work CPU pr0n then overclocking maestro, Roman ‘der8auer’ Hartung, has got their hands on an Intel Sapphire Rapids workstation processor and is starting to put it through its paces. 

This quick video starts with an intro to the new high-end desktop chip running in Intel’s overclocking labs, doing some Geekbench testing at 4.2GHz on all of the chip’s 56 Performance-cores. It’s running on a development platform, so not a retail setup, but still der8auer is able to show the system smashing the current record for Geekbench 5, set by an AMD Threadripper Pro 5995WX.

That record sits at 48,025 points, while the Sapphire Rapid chip is shown delivering a score of 53,817. Though it took a lot of power to get there. Even though the Intel Xeon W9 3495X monster CPU is only running at 1v, the video shows power spikes for the entire system sometimes getting close to the 1,100W point. Hell, the damned thing’s idling at 364W.

The real geeky pleasure I derive from the little addendum to the video, however, is where der8auer actually has the final chip in their hand, at home in Germany, and chucks this mass of computational s…

Final Fantasy 14’s patch 6.4 trailer reveals the path we’ll take to the Dark Throne-

Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker has suffered from some update droughts lately—we’ve received a lot of fun tasks to do, but they’ve all been short-lived. Variant Dungeons and Island Sanctuary have tried to fill the gap left by exploration zones, but they’re unfortunately one-and-done experiences.

Thankfully, patch 6.4’s trailer is utterly loaded with story hints to whet my cutscene–starved appetite. I’m here to pass my theories onto you, so if you haven’t watched the trailer yet, now’s the time. 

Before we get started, I’d like to mention that I’ll only be covering information regarding the Main Scenario Quest, otherwise we’d be here all day. 

The trailer opens with Golbez—our big bad for this patch cycle—stood atop the Thirteenth’s red moon, beseeching someone to join him. His objective? To fully invade the Source, where his immortality-cursed subjects can finally die a true death.

While this seems like a plea to the player at first, it’s followed up by a demand to “feast upon this dragon, and its ardent longing for home with it”. “This dragon” refers to Azdaja, who he’s been keeping captive in the void for centuries.  Continue Reading

Jensen Huang thinks Jackie Chan would play him best in a biopic but he would ‘do his own stunts’-

In a recent conversation with Ryan Patel on HP’s “The Moment” YouTube series, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang revealed a number of personal revelations, including that he thinks Jackie Chan would be best suited to play him in a film about himself. “He looks just like me” he reveals, “But I would do my own stunts…I’ll do all my own typing”.

Clad in his famous leather jacket, the Nvidia head honcho answered a series of questions that cover everything from the early days of Nvidia through to his thoughts on our preparedness for a future of day-to-day use of generative AI (via Tom’s Hardware). However perhaps some of the most interesting answers spring from the more personal questions, like discussing his first job at Denny’s and his go-to pickup line in college. 

We also learn that he’s not a fan of milkshakes as they were the hardest thing to make, and that he eats pancakes by folding them in half. This is a more casual interview than most of the Jensen one-to-ones we’ve seen before, and it’s interesting to see a more personal side of the CEO beyond his now-famous keynote speeches and product reveals.

Let’s be honest though, it’s the thought of Jackie Chan pl…

MSI just had to unlaunch its RTX 3060 Ti Super 3X because it’s not actually ‘Super’-

MSI recalls its RTX 3060 Ti Super 3X just a week after release because Nvidia wasn’t too keen on its name. 

HKEPC (via videocardZ) reports that MSI is pulling the RTX 3060 Ti Super 3X graphics card series in China at the request of Nvidia. The “Super” branding could cause confusion among consumers, suggesting that this is a new line of Nvidia RTX 30-series GPUs in Asia. Nvidia used “Super” for some slightly upgraded 20-series cards, but there were no RTX 30-series Supers.

I doubt MSI’s intention was to mislead: The company probably chose the name to highlight the card’s massive Suprim cooler. It makes you wonder why MSI didn’t call the Super 3X the “Suprim 3X,” though I’ll admit that “Super” has a better mouthfeel than “Suprim.” It’s also weird that Nvidia waited until after MSI launched the product to address the issue. 

The card itself sported a triple-fan design with RGB and a clock speed of up to 1,845 MHz, making it a touch faster than Nvidia’s reference GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. Not quite “Super,” but still faster. 

There’s no telling if Nvidia is forcing this recall because it’s potentially planning a “Super” revival with its …

NES inspired mechanical keyboards with massive matching A and B buttons are a vibe-

There’s something really satisfying about a keyboard with retro inspiration, especially when it comes with heaps of modern features hidden under that off-white, 8-bit facade.

The upcoming 87-key compact 8BitDo retro mechanical keyboard is one of those surprising little finds, and one with impeccable NES inspired design backing it up. It supports N-key rollover, and though the standard board comes packing Kailh Box White Switches V2, it’s importantly hot swappable—something we really appreciate, especially for a keyboard coming in at under $100 (via Sweclockers).

What’s really interesting here is the inclusion of two “Dual Super Buttons”—A and B buttons that can be programmed in the software or mapped instantly by connecting them via an A, B, X, Y interface at the back of the board.

The keyboard itself can be connected via Bluetooth, 2.4G wireless, or USB Type-C. It works with Android devices (version 9.0 and above) as well, in case you swing that way.

There are two options when it comes to the design. The N Edition and Fami Edition. The boards are both functionally the same, with the former sporting a grey and red colourway, while the latter e…

Discord has finally added voice messages-

In an official post on April 14, Discord revealed that all users of the mobile app can now send voice recordings up to 20 minutes long in DMs and on servers. While the messages can be listened to on desktop, the ability to record and send is limited to the mobile app.

It works pretty much like the voice message functions in Signal, WhatsApp, or any other mobile instant messenger: there’s a new microphone icon to the right of the text field⁠—just hold it down and you’re off to the races. My thoughts were consumed with how this could be applied to good natured jokes and japes, but the blog post also helpfully outlined how you can prevent abuse of this feature.

You can report voice messages just like normal ones, and there are also options to disable them across a whole server or limit their use by role. I pretty much just use Discord to keep up with old friends or check out the neo-forums of cool indie games (even though we wish they’d stop doing that), but a lot of people seem to like turning their Discord servers into weird, cult of personality digital fiefdoms where they sometimes leak government secrets. It makes sense that the company has to account fo…

Nvidia CEO hails ChatGPT as ‘one of the greatest things that has ever been done for computing’-

Nvidia’s CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang, has called what OpenAI has done with ChatGPT “genuinely, one of the greatest things that has ever been done for computing.” And I’m confident his effusive praise for the AI chatbot is all about the tech and little to do with the fact that Nvidia is one of the tech world’s biggest indirect financial beneficiaries of ChatGPT’s recent viral success.

Conducting an informal ‘fireside chat’ at Berkley Haas University a few weeks back (via WCCFTech), Huang was asked about what he thinks about ChatGPT as a technology in a Q&A session, and he immediately said: “ChatGPT is a very, very big deal.” That was before going on to liken the viral AI phenomenon to the iPhone revolution and that it has “democratised computing in a very large way.”

“For a lot of people in the industry that have been working on this,” says Huang, “we’ve been waiting for this moment. This is the iPhone moment, if you will, of artificial intelligence. This is the time when all the big ideas about mobile computing came together in a product that everybody just kinda… ‘I see it, I see it.’

“For the entire 40 years that I have been in the industry we have done no…

Neo-Victorian survival game Nightingale is holding a public stress test on Friday, but it’s only for 3 hours so don’t be late-

Nightingale, the neo-Victorian survival game being developed by Aaryn Flynn’s Inflexion Games, is holding a stress test on Friday, but you’ll have to be quick if you want to get in: It’s only scheduled to run for three hours.

To get into the Nightingale stress test, head over to the Steam page and click the “request access” button. Inflexion will start granting access at 10 am MT/12 pm ET on February 2, while servers will go live one hour later, at 11 am MT/1 pm ET. The test will come to an end at 2 pm MT/4 pm ET. 

The good news is that everyone who signs up should get in: More players will be invited to take part in batches as the test unfolds, based on factors like how many people are playing and how the servers are holding up. 

“Our goal is for all players who signed up for the test to be able to participate,” Inflexion said. “How quickly that happens will be dependent on how the test progresses.”

The test itself will feature “a tailored version of Nightingale’s early game experience” that will give players upgraded tools and gear, and a number of unlocked recipes roughly equivalent to what they’d pick up in Nightingale’s first 10 hours…

Sony throws in the towel, signs 10 year Call of Duty deal with Microsoft-

After months of bickering and horsing around, Microsoft and Sony have signed a deal that will keep the Call of Duty series on PlayStation consoles for—you guessed it—10 years following the company’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

“We are pleased to announce that Microsoft and PlayStation have signed a binding agreement to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard,” Xbox boss Phil Spencer revealed on Twitter. “We look forward to a future where players globally have more choice to play their favorite games.”

“From Day One of this acquisition, we’ve been committed to addressing the concerns of regulators, platform and game developers, and consumers,” Microsoft president Brad Smith said. “Even after we cross the finish line for this deal’s approval, we will remain focused on ensuring that Call of Duty remains available on more platforms and for more consumers than ever before.”

Neither Spencer nor Smith specified the timeline of the deal, but Microsoft confirmed with The Verge that it’s for 10 years. Microsoft also specified that the deal is only for the Call of Duty series, and not other Activisi…

Sony might be ready to launch an updated Dualsense controller with a much larger battery capacity-

Sony’s masterpiece of design, the Dualsense controller, is packed to the hilt with features: An awesome haptic feedback system, a touch-sensitive panel, and a sweet mini-speaker for added immersion in games. Naturally, one needs a PlayStation 5 to make the most of these but one thing that’s a bit of a pain on both PC and consoles is the rather small battery capacity. But that may well be a thing of the past if the specs of a purported second version are to be believed.

We spotted this over at Sweclockers, where somebody noticed a now-removed listing at Best Buy Canada for a Sony Dualsense V2 controller. Looking identical to the original model, the product description stated that the updated design will have an “exceptional 12-hour battery life, on a full charge.”

The listing also included Sony’s official charging station with the new controller, and all for the same price as a current Dualsense. Looking at Best Buy’s US page, the standard white model retails at $70 (the more colourful options are $5 more) and the dual controller charger is $30, but since the page has been taken down, I can’t check what was shown.

I do think Sony is planning to update its Dualse…

Randy Pitchford is posting through it after Borderlands bombs bad-

The Borderlands film is out, and in case you somehow missed the news, it really sucks. Despite the concerns of Joshua Wolens, it also looks well on its way to becoming a bonafide box office bomb, earning just $8.8 million over its opening weekend in the US ($16.5 million globally), which is not great for a film that cost around $150 million to make.

It’s hard to take anything good from that outcome, but Gearbox founder Randy Pitchford has found an upside.

“So what you’re saying is: You like what my friends and I do with our Borderlands videogames even more than you like what some of the biggest and best cast and crew of film makers on the planet have done,” Pitchford tweeted over the weekend. “I’m super flattered! We’re working extra hard four you on what’s next.”

(I assume that “four” is not a misspelling but rather a bit of wordplay teasing the all-but-confirmed Borderlands 4.)

He repeated the sentiment in a reply-tweet a little later: “I’m actually pretty fucking flattered that people are essentially saying that my team and I are doing a better job building characters and telling stories and mak…

18 year old unboxes a $200K+ knife in Counter-Strike- Global Offensive after playing for 34 hours-

As someone who’s played Counter-Strike for over 15 years, I’m going to give you some advice: Don’t open Counter-Strike: Global Offensive cases. It’s simple! All you’ll get is crap. And yet, and yet, somehow I still end up sticking in £20 or whatever when I get paid and unboxing multiple muddy brown MP9s worth 15p. So do as I say, not as I do.

After all you could be an outlier like this 18 year-old who, after being banned on Valorant (we’re not sure what for), tried out the OG and after clocking a modest 34 hours in the game opened a case containing a Karambit blue gem knife with a 387 pattern. The important element here is the pattern. The 387 pattern is considered the #1 pattern in the game for the Karambit knife, being both incredibly rare and the bluest of blues, and depending on the condition of the weapon, could see the value go well north of $200,000. An example in slightly better condition is allegedly worth $1.5 million, and this knife is estimated to be one of only a dozen in the world.

Me? No I’m not jealous. CS:GO streamer and habitual unboxer of crates, OhnePixel, managed to grab the lucky knife owner shortly after the unboxing, and the individual s…

Prince of Persia is coming back with a cartoony 2.5D platformer, and it’s the 2003 throwback I didn’t know I wanted-

There was a time when Ubisoft seemed defined more by whimsical, French comic book weirdness than generic open world blandness. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown looks like a throwback to that time, the days of Rayman, Beyond Good and Evil, or PoP series high water mark, The Sands of Time, and it’s the last thing I expected to really wow me at Summer Game Fest. But here it is:

The new Prince simultaneously feels like a throwback to Sands of Time’s swashbuckling charmer, while also having a nice punk edge—I say “yes” to undercuts, and “no” to Jake Gyllenhaal lookalikes! The art style in general reminds me of something like Star Wars: Rebels or Sea of Thieves: still very stylized, but kind of tactile and grounded in a way I appreciate. 

The Lost Crown looks like it’s taking full advantage of its 2.5D backgrounds as well, with a massive temple complex stretching into the background of one scene, while others show off weirdly verdant and bucolic country hills straight out of Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze.

The trailer shows off action that reminds me most of Metroid Dread, both in how fluid the Prince moves, and the way a manticore-like boss just fi…
