Are AI tokens the new signing bonus or just a cost of doing business?

New court filing reveals Pentagon told Anthropic the two sides were nearly aligned — a week after Trump declared the relationship kaput
Anthropic submitted two sworn declarations to a California federal court late Friday afternoon, pushing back on the Pentagon's assertion that the AI company poses an "unacceptable risk to national security" and arguing that the government's case relies on technical misunderstandings and claims that were never actually raised during the months of negotiations.

AI was everywhere at gaming’s big developer conference — except the games
AI was everywhere at the GDC Festival of Gaming this year. Vendors at the event pitched generative AI tools for things like making AI-driven NPCs and even entire games from a chat box . On the show floor, I spent 10 minutes playing a demo of a pixel-art fantasy world generated by Tencent's AI tools. In a briefing with Razer, I watched an AI assistant for QA automatically log issues in a shooter game. And there were many talks about AI, including a standing-room only presentation by Google

Halide co-founder is suing former partner for bringing source code to Apple
Lux Optics co-founder Sebastiaan de With made headlines when he joined Apple in late January. The company was behind Halide , one of the most popular photography apps for the iPhone, which gained a cult following for its robust pro-level controls. Apple was apparently a big enough fan that it tried to acquire the developer last summer. Those talks never bore fruit, and eventually the company simply hired de With. At the time, it was widely believed that Apple had poached him from Lux. But

However, if you’re okay with a pair of earbuds , the AirPods Pro 3 offer access to all the same features for less — especially given they’re currently on sale at Amazon , Walmart , and Best Buy for $199.99 ($50 off), matching their second-best price to date.

The gen AI Kool-Aid tastes like eugenics
Like many people, director Valerie Veatch was intrigued when OpenAI first released its Sora text-to-video generative AI model to the public in 2024. Though she didn't fully understand the technology, she was curious about what it could do, and she saw that other artists were building online communities to share their new AI creations. The hope of connecting with people drew Veatch into the AI space, but once she was there, she was shocked to see how often the technology would generate images dri

Oeuf is a punishing platformer in a cozy shell
The funny shape of eggs is the curious lifeblood of Oeuf , the new physics platformer by prolific developer Increpare Games . In a gaming landscape saturated with complex systems dropped into simple games, that grapples with metaphor within straightforward narratives, and that is desperate to bring cinematic sensibilities into gaming, Oeuf only asks that you briefly consider how an egg might move as you roll, slide, and hop across its world. That world is realized in crunchy, '90s-era 3D th

You can also pick it up from Best Buy and D

Apple's flagship 16-inch MacBook Pro has reigned supreme in the world of creator-focused laptops since its M-series processor overhaul in 2021 . Since then, we've mostly seen the same design with year-over-year chip bumps and small refinements. "If it ain't broke," right? If you want to know everything about this machine, you can read our review of the last-gen M4 Pro / M4 Max models - it pretty much all holds up with the M5 models that replace them.
