Dragon Age: The Veilguard Is Officially Gold, BioWare Confirms

Wccftech.com - 0
A few hours ago, BioWare revealed via Twitter (X) that Dragon Age: The Veilguard is officially gold. That means the game is basically finished, the physical copies are being prepared, and there is no chance of a delay (although, on extremely rare occasions, that's been known to happen). The game will launch on October 31 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X. It'll be almost ten years since the previous installment, Dragon Age: Inquisition, which debuted on November 18, 2014. Fans of the fantasy saga have been waiting for a very long time, mostly due to BioWare getting busy […]

53% Of Gamers Prefer Single-Player Games, As Shown in Study

Wccftech.com - 0
A new study has been released that shows 53% of gamers prefer single-player games. With how difficult it is for live-service games to break onto the market successfully, it makes sense that more and more single-player games are instead rising to the top and are proving to be more successful than any multiplayer game. A study carried out by Rhys Elliott discusses how most of the AAA games market revenue comes from in-game purchases that are typically from live service games. However, the market is also admittedly oversaturated, with some live-service games failing from the outset. It's becoming exceedingly rare […]

The Last of Us Part II Remastered is an excellent showcase of what the PlayStation 5 Pro and the AI-powered PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution upscaler are capable of doing, according to a new early analysis.

This delivers a considerable visual leap over the base model's Performance mode, as the upscaler improves texture detail and reduces blurriness and aliasing, especially […]

Fraudsters faked out Apple with bogus iPhones in $2.5M repair scam

Array ( [post_title] => Fraudsters faked out Apple with bogus iPhones in $2.5M repair scam [post_content] =>

Two men involved in an elaborate scheme duping Apple into replacing about 6,000 counterfeit iPhones with genuine iPhones were sentenced to prison this week, the US Department of Justice announced Thursday.

Together with their co-conspirators, the 34-year-old scammers, Haotian Sun and Pengfei Xue, squeezed Apple for about $2.5 million, as employees for years failed to detect what the DOJ described as a rather "sophisticated" scheme between 2017 and 2019.

Now Sun has been sentenced to 57 months in prison and must pay more than $1 million to Apple in restitution. For his part, Xue was sentenced to 54 months and ordered to pay $397,800 in restitution, the DOJ said. Additionally, both men must also serve three years of supervised release and forfeit thousands more following the judgment.

The more sophisticated AI models get, the more likely they are to lie

Array ( [post_title] => The more sophisticated AI models get, the more likely they are to lie [post_content] =>

When a research team led by Amrit Kirpalani, a medical educator at Western University in Ontario, Canada, evaluated ChatGPT’s performance in diagnosing medical cases back in August 2024, one of the things that surprised them was the AI’s propensity to give well-structured, eloquent but blatantly wrong answers.

Now, in a study recently published in Nature, a different group of researchers tried to explain why ChatGPT and other large language models tend to do this. “To speak confidently about things we do not know is a problem of humanity in a lot of ways. And large language models are imitations of humans,” says Wout Schellaert, an AI researcher at the University of Valencia, Spain, and co-author of the paper.

Smooth Operators

Early large language models like GPT-3 had a hard time answering simple questions about geography or science. They even struggled with performing simple math such as “how much is 20 +183.” But in most cases where they couldn’t identify the correct answer, they did what an honest human being would do: They avoided answering the question.

Uninstalled Copilot? Microsoft will let you reprogram your keyboard’s Copilot key

Array ( [post_title] => Uninstalled Copilot? Microsoft will let you reprogram your keyboard’s Copilot key [post_content] =>

Whether you care about Microsoft's Copilot AI assistant or not, many new PCs introduced this year have included a dedicated Copilot key on the keyboard; this is true whether the PC meets the requirements for Microsoft's Copilot+ PC program or not. Microsoft's commitment to putting AI features in all its products runs so deep that the company changed the Windows keyboard for the first time in three decades.

But what happens if you don't use Copilot regularly, or you've disabled or uninstalled it entirely, or if you simply don't need to have it available at the press of a button? Microsoft is making allowances for you in a new Windows Insider Preview build in the Dev channel, which will allow the Copilot key to be reprogrammed so that it can launch more than just Copilot.

There are restrictions. To appear in the menu of options in the Settings app, Microsoft says an app must be "MSIX packaged and signed, thus indicating the app meets security and privacy requirements to keep customers safe." Generally an app installed via the Microsoft Store or apps built into Windows will meet those requirements, though apps installed from other sources may not. But you can't make the Copilot key launch any old executable or batch file, and you can't customize it to do anything other than launch apps (at least, not without using third-party tools for reconfiguring your keyboard).

Array ( [post_title] => Meta’s new “Movie Gen” AI system can deepfake video from a single photo [post_content] =>

On Friday, Meta announced a preview of Movie Gen, a new suite of AI models designed to create and manipulate video, audio, and images, including creating a realistic video from a single photo of a person. The company claims the models outperform other video-synthesis models when evaluated by humans, pushing us closer to a future where anyone can synthesize a full video of any subject on demand.

The company does not yet have plans of when or how it will release these capabilities to the public, but Meta says Movie Gen is a tool that may allow people to "enhance their inherent creativity" rather than replace human artists and animators. The company envisions future applications such as easily creating and editing "day in the life" videos for social media platforms or generating personalized animated birthday greetings.

Movie Gen builds on Meta's previous work in video synthesis, following 2022's Make-A-Scene video generator and the Emu image-synthesis model. Using text prompts for guidance, this latest system can generate custom videos with sounds for the first time, edit and insert changes into existing videos, and transform images of people into realistic personalized videos.

New Kuiper Belt objects lurk farther away than we ever thought

Array ( [post_title] => New Kuiper Belt objects lurk farther away than we ever thought [post_content] =>

In the outer reaches of the Solar System, beyond the ice giant Neptune, lies a ring of comets and dwarf planets known as the Kuiper Belt. The closest of these objects are billions of kilometers away. There is, however, an outer limit to the Kuiper Belt. Right?

Until now, it was thought there was nothing beyond 48 AU (astronomical units) from the Sun, (one AU is slightly over 150 million km). It seemed there was little beyond that. That changed when NASA’s New Horizons team detected 11 new objects lurking from 60 to 80 AU. What was thought to be empty space turned out to be a gap between the first ring of Kuiper Belt objects and a new, second ring. Until now, it was thought that our Solar System is unusually small when compared to exosolar systems, but it evidently extends farther out than anyone imagined.

While these objects are only currently visible as pinpoints of light, and Fraser is allowing room for error until the spacecraft gets closer, what their existence could tell us about the Kuiper Belt and the possible origins of the Solar System is remarkable.
