Dying

One of the most stunning twists in the recent five-day crisis at ChatGPT creator OpenAI came when some 95 percent of the company’s hundreds of employees threatened to quit. The staff planned to follow CEO Sam Altman to develop successors to ChatGPT at Microsoft instead. The threat appeared to mark a turning point in Altman’s ultimately successful attempt to return to OpenAI—it was also a scenario that businesses have the legal power to block in most US states.California, home to OpenAI’s San Francisco HQ, is one of a…

Suburban Basketball is a game that lives on in my brain, long after I finished it. It’s an aggressive attack to the senses and seems to say a lot and nothing at all at the same time. It hurts. It may never stop hurting. So, I was excited to see when walkedoutneimans had a new game lined up. Okay, maybe “excited” isn’t the correct word. It’s more like morbidly curious. I really had to know if Suburban Basketball was just a one-off eruption of brilliant insanity or if the developer was intentionally trying to hurt us. This…

Gamers lament the decline in imaginative game design. The industry's pursuit of profit has shifted game development towards microtransactions and loot boxes, undermining the core essence of gaming. The challenge lies in striking a balance between financial needs and preserving creativity. Too Long; Didn't ReadThe gaming industry's rapid…

Comic books — that great gutter medium — have always been worlds of fads and crazes. Cowboys, cops, romances, and, starting in the late 1940s, horror. Publishers like EC, Avon, and Atlas churned out lurid tales of murder, betrayal, and inky gore for the next few years. And then, sweeping across the moors in 1954, howling dogs of American morality led by censorious psychiatrist Fredric Wertham drove the industry into a panic. Desperate to survive, publishers adopted the Comics Code, a strict system of rules describing…

Every 10 seconds, somewhere in the universe, a star explodes. The light from a small fraction of these supernovae—roughly a few hundred per year—reaches us here on Earth to be pored over by astronomers. Studying supernovae is vital to gaining a deeper understanding of the cosmos because they spew forth radiation, dust and gas that help sculpt galaxies, form new stars and planets and enrich the universe with heavy elements. But most are so distant that we can do little more than guess at their exact stellar origins using a…

Just as Polly Harvey’s previous set, 2016’s The Hope Six Demolition Project , was preceded by, and in part based upon, a book of poetry, so too is her 10th album. But whereas her 2015 volume of verse, The Hollow of the Hand, was informed by reportage from Kosovo and Afghanistan, last year’s novel-in-verse Orlam leaned heavily on the mythology and dialect of her native Dorset. Listeners not already familiar with Orlam may find this reimagining of it a little lyrically opaque, not least because of oblique references to a…

The last time the world of music heard from Polly Harvey was more than seven years ago, in the spring of 2016. Brexit had yet to happen, Barack Obama was still president, and the 53-year-old was on a world tour, albeit the kind of tour the late PJ O’Rourke conducted to research his 1988 opus Holidays in Hell, rather than the kind that involves roadies, riders and soundchecks. The Hope Six Demolition Project, Harvey’s ninth studio album, offered a travelogue of ravaged locations around the globe – Afghanistan, Kosovo, the…
