Meet the developers integrating generative AI into a new video game

While generative AI is still in its infancy, it's set to play a major role in video game development going forward. Imagine if NPCs in your favorite game had an infinite number of responses and could understand anything you said to them.

While we're perhaps at least a year or two away from new AAA games leveraging generative AI to enhance gameplay,...

5 apps to add AI to your older devices

The likes of Apple and Google are building powerful new AI features straight into their latest operating systems. Many of these new features, however, require the most up-to-date powerful phones out there. Apple Intelligence, for example, is limited to the iPhone 15 Pro or any iPhone 16 model, which is a relatively small subset of iPhones still in use.

But thankfully, you don't have to buy a new phone to take advantage of the latest and greatest AI features. There are tons of AI-powered apps...

When do Black Friday sales start? Be on the lookout for early holiday deals.

Amazon's massive Prime Day events generate consistent hype, but Black Friday remains the biggest shopping holiday of the year by far.

Black Friday always takes place on the fourth Friday in November (and the day after Thanksgiving), which happens to fall abnormally late in the month this year. For consumers, that means two things: There's a shorter-than-usual window for last-minute Christmas shopping, but more-than-usual leeway for scoping out Black Friday deals in advance. Plan...

5 prompts to have a fun AI chatbot conversation

By now, you’re probably aware of AI chatbots and their basic pros and cons: They churn out passable text about almost anything you want, but they’re not about to be mistaken for real people. They also hallucinate often. 

But the word "chat" is right there in the name, and you can engage in a back-and-forth with them, although the sort of “can you feel pain”-type questions that researchers and commentators were eager to ask when they first came out have been exhausted, and pretty much...

What to expect from AI gadgets in 2025

There was rabbit r1, an underwhelming orange box that, according to Mashable's Kimberly Gedeon, was essentially a fidget spinner with a screen, with which...

NASA captures star duo spraying plasma a quarter-trillion miles

New images from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope demonstrate how a withered star remnant is only mostly dead — that is until a bloated nearby star reanimates it, a la Frankenstein. 

The legendary observatory has monitored a double star system about 700 light-years away from Earth for more than 30 years, capturing how it dims and brightens over time as a result of strong pulses from the primary star. The binary, composed of a white dwarf star and a red giant star, has a caustic relationship,...
