Hey Strangers, #ps5pro #playstation #gaming Perhaps the biggest talking point from Sony’s PS5 Pro reveal is its price. At $700 and without a disc drive or stand, the PS5 Pro has sparked vociferous debate online about whether Sony is justified in setting such a high price for the mid-gen upgrade. IGN readers have already had their say on the PS5 Pro's $700 cost, but what’s enabled Sony to be so...

Hey Strangers, #drdisrespect #deadlock #gaming Dr. Disrespect—aka Guy Beahm—Dr Disrespect didn't have a good time playing Deadlock today. Earlier today, the Two-Time announced that he'd be streaming Deadlock, Valve's hero shooter-slash-MOBA. The playtest has been getting rave reviews so Doc felt it made sense to check it out. Unfortunatley, it didn't go as planned. On September 11,...

Hey Strangers, #gta #heaven17 #gta6 Regardless of that increased figure, however, it seems Ware is in no hurry to accept the deal. He confirmed in that tweet that the offer was "still utterly unacceptable," also clarifying that his previous comments about GTA 5's profit were not wholly accurate - the $8.6 billion figure he cited relates to gross revenue, not total profit. Original st...

Hey Strangers, #drdisrespect #cooked #twitch Dr. Disrespect—aka Guy Beahm—has been in the news again, nearly four years after he was banned from Twitch in 2020, the online streaming platform where he made a found fame and notoriety. Now it sounds like the popular streamer may be calling it quits indefinitely. The reason for the ban was never revealed by Twitch or Dr. Disrespect, though the latter...

Curtis, Acting Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s New York Field Office, announced the unsealing of a three-count indictment against Michael Smith, who allegedly created hundreds of thousands of artificial intelligence (AI)-generated songs and used automated “bot” programs to stream t...

Hey Strangers, #canva #price #ai Canva, the design platform, is increasing prices steeply for some customers. And it’s blaming the move in part on generative AI. In the U.S., some Canva Teams subscribers on older pricing plans are seeing the sticker price for a five-person plan jump from $119.99 per year to $500 per year (with a 40% discount for the first 12 months). In Australia, meanwhile, the f...

Hey Strangers, #chase #money #banking In a not-so-shocking development, a viral TikTok trend once again proved to be little more than a stupid stunt that ruined the lives of the impressionable. The trend involved people taking advantage of a glitch in JPMorgan Chase ATMs that allowed users to deposit a check - without the available funds - and immediately have access to the money listed on it. Thi...

Hey Strangers, #tech #finally #job The current wave of layoffs raises critical questions about the future of work in the tech industry. Will companies continue to prioritize AI investments at the expense of human workers? Will the industry return to its previous growth trajectory, or are we entering a new era of consolidation and efficiency? And most importantly, how can companies better support t...

Hey Strangers, #openai #news Condé Nast and OpenAI have struck a multi-year deal that will allow the AI giant to use content from the media giant’s roster of properties—which includes the New Yorker, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Bon Appetit, and, yes, WIRED.

Hey Strangers, #DNC #timwalz #democrats A moment of this magnitude was new for Walz. Prior to his selection as Harris’ running mate, not only had he never delivered a high-stakes speech in front of a national audience — he’d never even used a teleprompter. So in a convention filled with former presidents, congressional leaders, celebrities and more, Walz opted to be something else entirely. He’s a...

Hey Strangers, #taylorswift #swifties #AI Code and Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's completely up to you! Topic: The World Wide Web is the single most impactful technology humanity has ever created...

Hey Strangers, #databreach #hacker #privacy A major dealer of personal background information confirmed that it had lost control of Social Security numbers and other sensitive data Friday, recommending that consumers put fraud alerts on their files at the biggest credit bureaus and keep a close watch on their financial accounts. National Public Data posted the warning on its website months after w...

Hey Strangers, #google #ai #art Former Google CEO and chairman Eric Schmidt has made headlines for saying that Google was blindsided by the early the rise of ChatGPT because its employees decided that “working from home was more important than winning.” The comment was made in front of Stanford students during a recent interview, video of which was removed from the university’s YouTube channel aft...

Hey Strangers, #gaming #videogames #tangogameworks Tango Gameworks will live on, as Microsoft has reached an agreement with publisher Krafton to maintain the studio.

Hey Strangers, #twitter #trump #elonmusk Elon Musk’s “conversation” with former President Donald Trump got off to a rocky start. The interview, which was hosted on X Spaces and scheduled to begin at 8PM ET Monday night, crashed immediately and didn’t begin until 42 minutes later. Those who did manage to get into the Space, including several Verge staffers, said it kicked off with lo-fi techno play...

Hey Strangers, #twitter #lindayaccarino #elonmusk I’m not sure that this is going to go the way that Elon and Co. hope. Today, X has launched legal action against the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) and its chief coordinator, the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA), as well as selected GARM members, over what X claims has been “a group boycott by competing advertisers of one of the...

Hey Strangers, #microsoft #apple #google he opinion in the Google search antitrust case, published Monday, is extremely long. Because this was a bench trial, Judge Amit Mehta was on the hook to make factual findings as well as legal findings. So, there are over a hundred pages of findings of fact and even more of conclusions of law, adding up to a 286-page document replete with footnotes, redactio...

Hey Strangers, #stockmarket #stock #jobs Wall Street's stock sell-off intensified in a major way Monday as concerns mounted over the health of the US economy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) fell over 1,000 points. The Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) was crushed by more than 3.4%. The S&P 500's (^GSPC) losses cascaded nearly 3% in its worst day since 2022, capping its worst start to a...

Hey Strangers, #linkedin #jobsearch #jobs About a week ago, tech billionaire and Democratic Party political donor Reid Hoffman said the quiet part out loud and openly suggested that Kamala Harris fire Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan, should she win the White House in November. Hoffman also happens to sit on the board of Microsoft, a company that—over the past few years—has been the target...

Hey Strangers, #friends #AviSchiffmann #technology Avi Schiffmann shows up to the WIRED office with a Friend hanging around his neck. It dangles there like a pendant on a necklace. It’s about the size and shape of an AirTag—a soft, round little puck that rests right next to Schiffmann’s heart, just atop the Dark Side of the Moon logo on the shirt behind it. The Friend, to be clear, is an AI wearab...

Hey Strangers, #AI #openai #microsoft July 30 (Reuters) - Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab said it would spend more money this fiscal year to build out AI infrastructure even as growth slowed in its cloud business, another sign the payoff from hefty investments in the technology may take longer than Wall Street had hoped.

Hey Strangers, #Youtube #twitch #streamer Amazon bought Twitch, the livestreaming platform, 10 years ago, with the hopes it would be buying the next YouTube or Instagram — an up-and-coming media app that would explode in popularity and profit when hooked to a Big Tech platform. Instead, The Wall Street Journal reports, Twitch has fizzled: It's losing money on annual revenue of $2 billion — a n...

Hey Strangers, #ghostjob #jobsearch #jobs A vexing phenomenon is plaguing the labor market. "Ghost jobs" refer to listings by employers that either aren't real or have already been filled but never lead to an actual hire. This is frustrating not only to job seekers but also to the Federal Reserve, which is trying to steer the economy to a stable place. The official unemployment rate...
