In many ways, I could be writing the most prophetic news pieces of my life here. The world as we know it is about to come to an end, destroyed by artificial intelligence which then sends cyborgs from the future to wipe us all out (not the cyborg dogs though, please not the dogs, they creep me out the most_. If that sounds like the plot of a Hollywood blockbuster rather than real life then a) I...
The smash hit title Helldivers 2 from Arrowhead Studios faced outages and achievement progression issues all weekend. The problems didn’t dissuade users from trying to get in for their chance to defend Super Earth, but it ultimately made things worse for the game’s struggling servers. As reported by prominent community leaker Wario 64, the Helldivers discord released a statement about the...
The European Union has confirmed it is investigating TikTok over an alleged failure to protect children against negative impacts online. Under a new headline legislation, the Digital Services Act, the ByteDance-owned video-hosting platform has potentially contravened rules on “protection of minors, advertising transparency, data access for researchers, as well as the risk management of addictive...
Nintendo is reportedly Japan’s richest company, according to its latest financial report for the quarter. Toyo Keizai, a business magazine publisher, stated that the Japanese gaming company had over $11.44 billion (1.7186 trillion yen) in cash assets, believed to be bolstered by the long-running success of the Nintendo Switch and the recent box office sensation “The Super Mario Bros. Movie.” In a...
Diablo IV players have good reason to be getting concerned about the game’s seasons. Of the three we have to date only Season Two was anything close to fun. We had high hopes for Season 3 – Season of the Construct but sadly it was not to be. There is a limit Blizzard has before people start drifting away, and with Diablo IV coming to Game Pass at the end of March, just before we get Season 4, the...
Former UFC world champion Michael Bisping has signed a partnership agreement with crypto casino platform Lucky Block. The 44-year-old mixed martial arts figure has said he will become an ambassador for the company, which will be a sponsor of his, in return. As reported by Gambling Insider, the agreement is designed to connect sports and online gaming, with a focus on fan engagement and expanding...
Reddit is allowing access to an “unnamed” artificial intelligence (AI) company ahead of the social platform’s initial public offering (IPO). The deal, reported by Bloomberg is worth “about $60 million on an annualized basis” for AI models to be given access to Reddit’s material. The move to allow an AI company into the nuts and bolts of content could be seen as a way to hook in more investors...
A Wyze executive has confirmed that at least a dozen users were able to see thumbnails taken from other users’ cameras, due to an outage with their partner network. David Crosby wrote in a Wyze forum post on Friday that access to the Events tab was being restricted while the company investigated a potential security issue. He said that the servers “got overloaded and it corrupted some user data...
A senior Google executive has warned of the “very serious” threat posed to democracy by artificial intelligence (AI) powered deepfakes, in a year of crucial national elections across the world. The concerns have resulted in the heavyweights of the tech industry coming together to thwart the rise of disinformation and malicious actors online. Google has joined forces with more than 15 other...
We have spent a lot of time in Infinite Craft making people and celebrities, but today we are going for something a little more cerebral in the shape of crafting religions. One of the first pages we wrote on IC has us creating Adam and Eve which were the building blocks for a lot of the Humans we have since created, and while that touched on religious beliefs, we didn’t use it for such at the...
