It’s a beautiful, balmy afternoon at Dolores Park in San Francisco, and I’m singing a birthday song to a prehistoric dinosaur. A cupcake with a pink candle magically appears in my empty hand as I finish my serenade. When I blow out the flame, a calm look of contentment washes over the CGI-esque creature.While the man in this AI video looks and sounds just like me, the clip was actually generated using one of the new features available in Google’s Gemini app: avatars. These digital recreations are similar to the core features of OpenAI’s now-defunct Sora app. It’s a digital…

Many Assassin’s Creed fans (and lovers of pirate adventures) were excited when Ubisoft finally, after many leaks, announced the upcoming Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag remake. But then Ubisoft confirmed some bad news: The new remake, out in July on consoles and PC, wouldn’t include a remade version of that game’s Freedom Cry DLC. It’s a disappointing decision, but it does sound like it’s possible the side-adventure starring slave-turned-pirate assassin Adewale might still happen…one day. Originally released as DLC for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag back in 2013, Freedom Cry stars Adewale, a major side character featured in the main game,…

When brothers Skyler and Spencer Hardegree sent an email to table-top gaming site Board Game Geek asking about running an ad campaign for their new game Possess Me, Satan, they weren’t expecting to receive a response telling them tales of spiritual healings of demonic possessions, or that the game made the advertising manager “sick to their stomach,” and they certainly weren’t expecting to be told that the game was the equivalent of making a game about “being a sexual predator.” Possess Me, Satan is described by Skyler Hardegree as “a social deductions game” inspired by the likes of Werewolf and Mafia. When I chatted with…
The person leading the Department of Labor’s controversial monthly worship services has now taken over one of the agency’s most important offices.Kenneth Wolfe, the director of the DOL’s faith center, is now also leading the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), the office tasked with making sure that federal contractors comply with anti-discrimination laws.

Now, the price changes are live, and it turns out that all tiers of PlayStation Plus are getting price bumps, something Sony didn’t really explain in its previous announcement. As you can expect, even more people are unhappy about this. On May 21, PS Plus price changes went live for new customers and returning subscribers in certain parts of the world, including the United States. We knew PS Plus Essential,…
“Summoning a wizard who can nudify her,” wrote an anonymous 4chan user last week, posting on the site’s /r/ board, a hub for “adult requests” of specific explicit imagery.Attached to the post was an image of a blonde woman in glasses, an open black jacket, white tank top, and ripped jeans, posing on a low wall with a sweeping view of an old-world city and a river behind her. It’s the kind of picture you’d see on a friend’s Instagram account during their vacation in Europe. On the left edge of the image, you can see that someone else has…
