StarCraft is returning, but as an open-world shooter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Amid a barrage of remakes and remasters of classic 1990s games – The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasy VII and Tomb Raider, to name a few – Blizzard Entertainment is bringing back a beloved franchise, but with a twist. On Sept 12, Blizzard announced a third instalment of the StarCraft franchise that will move away from the real-time strategy genre that helped the studio become a household name. The new game, set to be released in 2030, will instead be an open-world, story-driven sh
Apple's Siri got an AI brain transplant. Try these 5 prompts to get acclimated (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For the last 15 years, talking to Siri, Apple’s virtual assistant on iPhones, felt profoundly uncool. Though it performed a few basic tasks, like adding calendar appointments and setting timers, Siri was so subpar that asking it for help was often counterproductive.

In that moment, Drury wondered whether there was a technology product he could create that was enriching for children but not addictive.
Opinion: AI is making scams hard to spot. Here's how to protect yourself. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An email riddled with typos. A customer service agent with a thick accent. A blurry Craigslist photo. Those used to be telltale signs of Internet scams. But today, thanks to generative artificial intelligence (AI), those red flags have mostly vanished. Low-cost chatbots, image generators and voice-cloning tools make it simple for criminals to produce pristine copy, create seemingly legitimate websites and even replicate identities. AI-powered Internet scams have become so convincing that I confe
