An attorney for authors confirmed on Thursday that “authors and other copyright holders filed claims covering over 92% of the more than 480,000 works included in the settlement.” But objectors maintain that lawyers’ pay should reflect the total number of claimants, not the total amount in the settlement fund. By urging the court to make “reasonable and fair adjustments” to lower attorney fees, Story is hoping to increase compensation to authors. Offering an example, he noted that “a still-generous Counsel payout of $70 million would yield a nearly 25 percent increase in individual Plaintiff awards, while Counsel would still receive…

A new leak reveals that the company may opt to continue doing the same thing with the upcoming Galaxy Tab S12.Galaxy Tab S12 may feature a MediaTek chipsetSamsung may stick to a MediaTek processor for its upcoming flagship Android tablets. Code from Samsung’s AI Core app contained references to the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, according to an Android Authority report.While the file didn’t mention the processor with its commercial name, it contained the MT6993 model number,…

Nonetheless, Russia’s effort to recruit student drone pilots goes toward its goal of having 168,000 drone operators by the end of 2026, according to the Kyiv Independent. In that sense, Russia is copying the success of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Force that became the world’s first standalone military branch focused on drones in June 2024. The Russian recruitment efforts have typically promised that university students can serve as drone pilots without risking their lives in bloody infantry assaults on Ukrainian trenches and fortifications. But safety is a relative term as constant surveillance and the threat of drone strikes or artillery fire…

Nearly every sign, bush, fence post, and tree can be smashed to bits in the recently released Forza Horizon 6. However, if you try to crash into and destroy any of Japan’s iconic Cherry Blossom trees, which can be found in the open world, you’ll discover they are indestructible. And that’s not an accident, but instead a deliberate choice by the developers. In a new interview with The Japan Times (via Dexerto), Forza Horizon 6 design director Torben Ellert talked about the Xbox open-world racer and all the work that went into crafting an authentic-looking Japan that players could explore…

Google just announced the new Gemini Intelligence branding for some of its AI features earlier this week, saying those are powerful features for premium devices. While the company hasn’t specified what devices will support those new features, a footnote on the Gemini Intelligence webpage may bear some unpleasant news.Premium for a reasonGoogle’s new Gemini Intelligence features may require some steep minimum specs. A footnote reveals that to use the features, you may need a device with a “flagship chip,” at least 12GB of RAM, and support for AI Core and Gemini Nano v3 or higher.Besides that, the devices need to…

Mira Murati still wants to build AI superintelligence. But the ex-CTO of OpenAI sees human intelligence as a critical part of the equation.At a time of rising worry over AI eliminating jobs and increasing the power of few big companies, Murati’s startup, Thinking Machines Lab, offers a radically different vision of the technology.“At some point we will have super-intelligent machines,” Murati tells WIRED. “But we think that the best way to actually have many possible futures—good futures—is to keep humans in the loop.”Murati says AI doesn’t need to automate humans out of the equation. A more optimistic approach, she suggests,…

It wouldn’t be a proper new Diablo 4 expansion without some wild match glitches that completely break the game. Lord of Hatred is delivering on that front with a bizarre new exploit introduced after Blizzard actually attempted to patch a different bug. The result, at least for now, is players with god-like survivability as they stack damage reduction way beyond anything the game’s developers intended. The trouble began with Paladin’s Aspect of Glynn’s Anvil. It increases your maximum Resolve by 2 and gives you 2.5 – 4 percent extra damage reduction per stack. Existing stacks of Resolve provide 25 percent…

Passkeys were supposed to free us from the password mess, but Google quietly built a new kind of cage around them on Android. That cage might be about to crack open.What’s actually happening hereGoogle is testing a built-in way to move passkeys in and out of its Password Manager on Android, according to a new report that managed to activate the hidden feature on a live device.Inside Google Password Manager’s settings, the usual “Import passwords” and “Export passwords” options are quietly getting upgraded to “Import passwords and passkeys” and “Export passwords and passkeys.” You pick a supported password manager (Bitwarden…

If the Trump administration keeps using video games to spread its propaganda online, I guess it’s fair that people use video games to make fun of him, as well. That’s what someone’s been doing by recently installing arcade cabinets in Washington D.C. for a satirical RPG called Operation Epic Furious: Strait To Hell. You can play as Trump and do things like order Diet Coke, burn the Epstein Files one by one, or fight bad guys like a “low flow showerhead” in Iran. The game was made by a pseudo anonymous developer called Secret Handshake, and while folks in D.C.…
