Companies spend more money on artificial intelligence every year and add the technology to their products. OpenAI created ChatGPT and pushed other companies to build similar computer programs. People worry about the environment as AI systems use more water and electricity than expected. Sam Altman runs OpenAI and shared numbers about how much water his company uses. He wants people to understand the true costs of running AI systems.
Altman wrote about water use on his company blog and gave specific amounts for each ChatGPT question. Each question uses about 0.000085 gallons of water according to his calculations. That equals roughly one fifteenth of a teaspoon for every person who asks ChatGPT something. The CEO also shared electricity...
People want to leave moon bases and go back to Earth. PRAGMATA tells the story about an astronaut who escapes with a young android girl named Diana. The game works differently from most escort missions because Diana helps the player during fights. She rides on the astronaut's back and hacks enemy machines during combat. Players can move around and shoot enemies at the same time Diana breaks through their defenses.
The hacking parts work through simple mini-games that take only seconds to complete. Diana moves through grids and collects special points to disable enemy shields. Players use different weapons that each work uniquely during the moon station escape. The main pistol never runs out of bullets but needs time to recharge after...
NVIDIA wants countries to build special computer centers that make artificial intelligence. Jensen Huang runs the company and thinks these centers will work like factories. Countries will compete to build the best AI centers using NVIDIA equipment. The centers will produce computer tokens instead of regular products. Government leaders will treat AI centers like power plants and water systems.
Jensen claims the AI infrastructure business could be worth 100 trillion dollars someday. That amount equals thirty times what NVIDIA is worth today. The company believes AI will change how people work and live every day. Robot workers and smart machines will need these AI centers to operate properly. NVIDIA has already started making deals with...
EA forced BioWare to change Dragon Age into a live service game. The company wanted to copy games like Fortnite that make money for years. BioWare started making a multiplayer game instead of the single player story fans expected. EA bosses pushed out the creative director who built the Dragon Age series. Mike Laidlaw left the studio after working there since 2003.
BioWare spent years building the wrong type of game before switching back to single player. EA gave the studio just one year to rebuild everything from scratch. The team rushed to change the story and characters to work for one person instead of many players. Important story choices had to be added at the last minute because multiplayer games work differently. The dialogue...
Sony builds a handheld PlayStation that uses smart technology to make games look better. The device will run on an AMD chip that can boost picture quality automatically. AMD makes this the only handheld system with such advanced graphics features. The company designs special software to help games run smoothly on smaller screens. Players will see sharper images even when the device has less power than home consoles.
The handheld comes with 16 gigabytes of fast memory to store game data. Sony picks this amount because newer memory types cost too much right now. The device has one third the memory speed of regular PlayStation 5 systems. Engineers add extra storage areas called cache to help games load faster. These storage spaces work...
Trump's team brought computer chip making back to America. TSMC put lots of money into building factories here. American companies want to buy chips made at home instead of overseas. The country moves closer to making all the chips it needs.
The president said Taiwan took American technology during his campaign. He wanted that technology to come home to the United States. His administration made a deal worth 165 billion dollars with TSMC after taking office. The Taiwan company agreed to build more chip factories across America.
America will make half of its computer chips at home within eight years. Research shows the country made zero percent of its chips last year. The CHIPS Act started this process before Trump took office. His...
Capcom surprised fans at Summer Game Fest with multiple teases before showing Resident Evil Requiem. The company first announced anniversary celebrations and game sales. They saved the actual game reveal for the end of their showcase. Fans had to wait through two hours of presentations to see the new survival horror title.
Grace Ashcroft stars as the main character and works as an FBI investigator. Her mother Alyssa died during events from earlier Resident Evil games. The developers want players to experience fear through someone who fights to survive rather than a trained soldier. Grace must use her FBI training to stay calm under pressure during dangerous situations.
The demo starts with Grace tied upside down on a hospital bed. She...

Combat works differently from earlier...
Northern parents camp outside schools during cold weather to grab Grade 8 forms for their children. Families want spots at top schools like Canisianum Roman Catholic High School and Gabriel Taapopi Secondary School. More than 700 parents waited outside Canisianum gates after arriving at 4am. Alma Mathias from Oshakati slept outside to secure forms at the best performing school. Secilia Angula traveled from Windhoek and camped at school gates because she knows nobody there.
