    World ID wants you to put a cryptographically unique human identity behind your AI agents

    They had a stand in my area over the past weekend. If I didn't know the app, I would have thought it was a scam run by a local gang (rather than a global scam run by a group of billionaires). Staffed with kids you'd rather not meet in a dark alley (I even recognised one or two of our friendly...

    Interview: Civilization VII’s devs on the big update meant to win critics back

    Hasn't that been the case with every Civilization game though? I haven't played Civ VII, stopped playing in general with VI, so I can't comment on the playability aspect of swapping civs during a single game. However, the "community"(TM) always had something to complain about. VI was not like V...

    Computer scientist Yann LeCun: “Intelligence really is about learning”

    Elon Musk wins Tesla pay vote that could make him a $1 trillion man

    But remember kids, Elon is your friend and that immigrant earning less than the minimum wage is your enemy. Now go back to watching Grok slop.

    3 years, 4 championships, but 0 Le Mans wins: Assessing the Porsche 963

    It's the BoP. It had always been the BoP. Just ask Toyota. GR010, didn't suddenly get slower or one of the most successful teams in the last decade did not suddenly forget how to race. ACO somehow cannot get it right, when IMSA arguably can, with a much simpler approach, which ACO tried to mimic...

    YouTube explains how banned creators can get a “second chance”

    "Second chance" usually means you hope the person improved and will not make the same mistake again. Are we reeeeally expecting that here?

    Why the humble video game cheat code is overdue for a comeback

    I personally don't see how this is an issue for the Gamers(TM) crowd. How is that "disrupting the experience for fans"? Is someone pointing a gun at their head, forcing them to pick a different option? Or do they simply resent the fact that someone can enjoy the game on easier settings because...

    The case of the coke-snorting Chihuahua

    Bullshit. My wife is a veterinary surgeon. Every single week she has to take care of dogs that are clearly on drugs. Usually weed, sometimes something stronger. Owners always say the same, why the dog is ill. After they are hit with $2-5k testing bill, they have no idea where the drugs came...

    Trump’s EPA to “reconsider” ban on cancer-causing asbestos

    He does have a point though. It's 100% safe once applied and when you don't touch it, break it, drop it, crush it, dril in it, overheat it, underheat it, underwater it, over water it, look at it weirdly. So just like cyanide and mustard gas.

    Google should kill Stadia

    I remember like it was yesterday. A warm, sunny day in May 2020. My "techy" neighbour having a nice rant and literally calling me stupid for having a PS4, because "his Stadia will be the future and he will never need another console in his entire life. EVER!". Good times, good times...
