US President Joe Biden signs executive order ‘to protect Americans from the potential risks of AI systems’-
In a legislative attempt to stave off the inevitable demise of humanity at the hands of roaming hunter-killer robots, US President Joe Biden has issued an executive order establishing a new set of standards that will guide the development of AI. The order includes requirements to “develop standards, tools, and tests to help ensure that AI systems are safe, secure, and trustworthy,” and to share relevant data about AI models with the US government.
Worries about potential negative outcomes of artificial intelligence development have grown in lockstep with the rapid rise of AI development itself. Skynet scenarios are fun to contemplate but the more immediate problem is the use of AI in the generation of exceedingly realistic audio and video clips that can be put to nefarious use, as…
With Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Black Myth- Wukong, and Star Wars Outlaws, ray tracing in games is slowly becoming an Nvidia-exclusive-
At this year’s Gamescom event, two forthcoming games heavily feature ray tracing as the means for producing the best possible graphics. Star Wars Outlaws and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle both have graphics features, either exclusively developed by Nvidia or are so demanding that only high-end GeForce RTX cards can really handle it.
Nvidia was the first GPU vendor to bring real-time ray tracing hardware to the gaming masses at another Gamescom in 2018, with its GeForce RTX 20-series graphics cards. But since then, AMD and Intel have both followed suit, and all new gaming PCs and consoles are more or less capable of ray tracing. Most PC gamers are well aware that Nvidia’s GPUs can do ray tracing faster than the competition but three games show that Nvidia is doing its best to …
Ultima Online is grilling, chilling, and still thriving all these years later-
Classic MMO Ultima Online’s scribe-and-abacus-driven official servers were pushed to their limits on July 7 to host a celebratory Summer Solstice cookout boasting games, prizes, and “a nice cold root beer drink”.
The awkwardly penned notice on the official site lists some of the games available in more detail. The one that jumps out at me as most emblematic of Ultima Online’s age is the dunk tank, offering a chance to dunk an event moderator of your choice, back when people knew mods as people rather than faceless Twitter accounts (but had a bone to pick with them either way).
Archived streams of the event contained some surprises for me, chief among them being the demand. The event was broken up into two time slots, morning and evening, ensuring everyone got a chance …
We asked Black Myth- Wukong’s developer about the controversy over its founders’ past sexist remarks, but GameScience’s only reply was ‘No comment’-
Black Myth: Wukong has set the second-highest peak player record in Steam’s history, a spectacular launch for the Chinese action RPG that put it at the top of the global top sellers list. It’s also a great game: we called it “a mythical action RPG with remarkably bizarre characters and daring boss battles” in our 87% review. That should be the only story for Black Myth: Wukong today, but it’s not—what would otherwise be a celebratory launch has been dogged by controversy that studio GameScience seems unwilling to address, including in a recent interview with PC Gamer.
Streamer guidelines for Black Myth leaked before release, revealing a list of “don’ts” that included “feminist propaganda, fetishization, and other content that instigates negative discourse” as well as “conten…
WoW Classic’s hardcore servers have launched, giving Blizzard fans a whole new way to punish themselves-
World of Warcraft Classic’s hardcore servers—which have been available on its PTR for some time—have officially launched on its live realms, alongside an official trailer which you can watch below.
These WoW Classic realms shackle players with the same permadeath punishment offered in Diablo 4, which has led to some truly hellish deaths for its players. WoW Classic’s an especially dangerous arena, though, thanks to its habit of huge aggro radiuses and punishing enemy placement. Because of this, it’s pretty easy to find yourself ambushed by murlocs—and I can only imagine the corpse pile around Hogger.
While death is final, you can still futz around Azeroth as a ghost after shuffling off its mortal coil to handle stuff like passing on guild mem…
You should delete your Cyberpunk 2077 mods ahead of update 2.0, and you may need to do a clean reinstall of the game-
I figured I was going to have to uninstall my Cyberpunk 2077 mods before checking out Phantom Liberty and update 2.0. Most of the mods I went for on my last playthrough were difficulty and loot adjustments that’d clash with 2.0’s big changes, and for the rest, mod authors would likely need to update their files to play nice with the patch. What I wasn’t expecting was needing to do a clean reinstall—complete with deleting some leftover files—to clear up a persistent crash on startup.
I’m not sure exactly what borked my game, but big, foundational mod projects like Cyber Engine Tweaks need to be updated with each major patch in turn, and some users in the past have reported similar crash on startup issues to what I experienced. Mod author yamashi has…
