High-fidelity fan videos gesturing at what a Final Fantasy VI remake could look like are nothing new. What is new is that generative AI has made it easier than ever to bring those fever dreams to life and make them spread like wildfire across people’s feeds. The latest example imagines the classic SNES RPG in the style of the recent Final Fantasy VII Remake games, and even the creator of the franchise is impressed. A nearly two-minute AI-generated “remake” sizzle reel of Final Fantasy VI was posted on May 16 by X user desusanJP. The footage was set to Terra’s…
What my mom lacks in healthy legs, she makes up for in a Claude Pro subscription. Having needled her repeatedly over the past couple years about AI’s environmental, political, and economic implications, I brushed all that aside on a recent Sunday and drove to her house. After a little tibia talk, I opened her computer and began emitting vibes.I’d like to create a communally shared app that gathers and shares information related to how much time and energy we devote to fighting burdensome administrative tasks, bureaucratic sludge, Kafka-esque unsubscribe mazes, byzantine insurance portals, wrongful charges, denied claims, confusing membership plans,…
Apple is still struggling to get Apple Intelligence up to the levels that were promised back in 2024. We’re finally going to see some progress next month with the announcement of the new Siri app for iPhone, but even then Siri will be in Beta according to one report.Apple insider Mark Gurman believes that Apple Intelligence is two or three years behind its competitors. Furthermore, whenever Apple does eventually catch up, rival AI services like Gemini would have naturally gotten even better, perpetually leaving Apple a couple of years behind.This constant game of catch-up, especially when Apple might try to…
We’ve already had at least one college graduation speaker’s comments about the AI revolution be met with roaring boos from the crowd this month. Now famous ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt has done it as well, getting drowned out by recent college graduates as he tries to lecture them on the promise of artificial intelligence. The gist of Schmidt’s speech, delivered at the University of Arizona’s spring semester graduation on Sunday, was that while the fear of AI replacing jobs and threatening the environment is “rational,” if you get on board with it and help “shape” it, you’ll be one of…
The note from the communications team then, quite remarkably, lists some stats in an attempt to paint the launch in a positive light, as opposed the retail bin-fire it seemingly was: “We have received millions of clicks on our website. This new collaboration is literally making social media explode, with over 6 billion views within one week; by now, it is already 11 billion. All in all, the Royal Pop Collection is captivating the entire world, not least because the Royal Pop is, quite surprisingly, not a wristwatch.”Audemars Piguet seems unhappy with how Swatch has handled the launch of its collaboration on…
Last year, we traveled to the future with the Xiaomi concept phone that you see in the thumbnail picture above.It is what it appears to be – a huge camera system that’s attached to a phone and offers physically larger sensors and optics. Software tricks like computational photography are great but can only do so much. Big sensors and big elements in a lens are still unsurpassed in terms of sheer quality.There were rumors at the start of 2026 that Xiaomi was to enter the mass production stage for its groundbreaking modular camera system. Now, things are taking a 180-degree…
There’s another world where Grand Theft Auto 6 has already been out for nearly a year. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick referenced that alternate timeline in a recent interview looking back at his career, in which he confirmed that Rockstar Games’ latest sequel was at one point supposed to come out 18 months before its current release date. “I think we’re about 18 months behind the original date,” he told podcaster David Senra in a video published over the weekend. This would put GTA 6’s original launch at May 2025 alongside Doom: The Dark Ages and Elden Ring: Nightreign. The executive…
