For anyone who fears their ChatGPT and Codex accounts might be targeted by attackers, OpenAI announced on Thursday that it is adding an optional new level of account protection that adds an extra layer of security. Dubbed Advanced Account Security, the feature enforces strict access controls that would make account takeover attacks very difficult.Such measures are not a new idea in the realm of account security. Google, for example, has offered its Advanced Protection account security tier for nearly a decade. But as mainstream AI services rapidly proliferate around the world, there is a pressing need for an array of…
Love and Deepspace, a mobile gacha game developed and published by Papergames, has run into a bit of an odd censorship problem in China during the advertising campaign for its latest in-game event, “Lingering Lust,” due to the country’s strict laws regarding NSFW content. However, after the trailer for the new event was censored twice, Papergames has resorted to a rather inventive form of artistic expression: stick figures. OK, so, there’s a lot of conflicting information out there surrounding this, which is almost definitely even more difficult to parse due to the language barrier, but here’s what I was able…

Maintenance workers at Katmai National Park in Alaska spotted 2025 Fat Bear Week champion Chunk. In a video shared by Katmai Conservancy, National Park Service (NPS) maintenance crews spotted the roughly large adult male brown bear (Ursus arctos) walking along on a patch of ice in the park. Bears are not seen as frequently during the spring, so this early glimpse of Chunk is exciting. Katmai is a home and hunting ground for some of the largest brown bears in…
Rebellion Yet another indie game is becoming a TV show, as an adaptation of Atomfall is in the works. This is an action survival RPG that was released in 2025 and won British Game of the Year at the recent BAFTA Game Awards. That’s fitting, because Atomfall is an extremely British game. It references everything from Doctor Who and the legend of Excalibur to The Lord of the Rings, James Bond, The Chronicles of Narnia and The Wicker Man. The Fallout-inspired game is set in the 1960s after a nuclear disaster leads to…
The immune system operates at a scale scientists are only just beginning to be able to see. That new view could change how diseases like cancer are tackled.Speaking at WIRED Health on April 16, Daniel Davis, an immunologist at Imperial College London, detailed how researchers are using advanced microscopes to uncover previously invisible dynamics in the human immune system, showing that there are multiple processes happening on a “nanoscale” that was previously out of reach.That new view is already reshaping how immunity is understood. “We have discovered something that’s known as the immunological synapse, which is that lots of different…
Following the release of GPT-5.5 last week, people noticed something funny about OpenAI’s latest model. In its Codex coding app, the company left a system prompt instructing GPT 5.5 to avoid mention of goblins, gremlins and other creatures. Yes, you read that right. “Never talk about goblins, gremlins, racoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons, or other animals or creatures unless it is absolutely and unambiguously relevant to the user’s query,” the prompt reads. Apparently, enough people started talking about ChatGPT’s creature obsession that OpenAI felt the need to provide an accounting of where the goblins came from. In a blog post published…
Subnautica 2 has recently become better known for the colossal falling out between its developers and publishers than because it’s the long-awaited sequel to one of the finest craft-n-explore adventures ever made. But now with an Early Access release date made official—and confirming earlier rumors—hopefully the game itself will be able to return to the center of attention. A new cinematic trailer reveals the game will be launching on May 14. Even this news isn’t without controversy. The May release window is alleged by developers Unknown Worlds to have been leaked in March by publishers Krafton to “spite” the team…

It traditionally takes years of training and apprenticeship before shipbuilders truly master the art of handcrafting wooden vessels. However, that doesn’t mean all that time is necessary. Kentucky-based YouTuber Nick Kroehnke, aka Cumberland Rover, has spent the past few months documenting his progress on constructing a simple, 12-foot-long sailboat using everyday materials from the local hardware store. As he demonstrates across multiple videos, sometimes all you need is basic carpentry skills and a bit of creativity to take to the water yourself. Building a…
Time and time again, owners of dumb phones—or minimalist phones—turn to their niche communities asking for extra features for their pared-down devices: an authenticator app, Uber, or a way to view hiking trails. They turned to these phones to reduce the time spent staring at a smartphone screen and cut the anxiety driven by the modern attention economy from their lives, but turns out we still need apps.“I cannot tell you how many people come back to us saying that, ‘Hey, if only you had this thing for QR code scanning; if only you had this localized app,’ that they’d…
