Seeing as Nvidia hasn’t even officially confirmed the existence of these GPUs, let alone the release dates, this can’t be technically described as a delay, but the latest rumors suggest Nvidia’s board partners, who make graphics cards based on the GPUs, expected the GPUs to be released well before this timeframe. This latest r...

The upcoming Endless Legend 2 is sparking my love for 4X games once again, as developer Amplitude teases the first of its playable factions, the hardened Kin of Sheredyn. Civilization 7 might make some bold changes, but it remains fundamentally, stoically Civ in its core systems. Like its predecessor before it, EL2 is set to bring something different to the strategy table, leaning into firmly defined faction identities that open up the potential for far more unique play styles.

It has been over two years since ChatGPT exploded onto the world stage and, while OpenAI has advanced it in many ways, there's still quite a few hurdles. One of the biggest issues: hallucinations, or stating false information as factual. Now, Austrian advocacy group Noyb has filed its second complaint against OpenAI for such hallucinations, naming a specific instance in which ChatGPT reportedly — and wrongly — stated that a Norwegian man was a murderer.  To make matters, somehow, even worse, whe...
