The ‘GQuuuuuuX’ Endgame Is About the Messiest Relationship in All of ‘Gundam’

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-09-11 10:00:51

What is Mobile Suit Gundam about? Sometimes, it’s about cool robots. Sometimes, it’s about the horrors of war. Sometimes, it’s about the balance of power, and the exploitation of have-nots by the haves, a cycle of class conflict that is inextricably interwoven through the cycle of military conflict. But really, a lot of the time–especially in the series’ foundational Universal Century setting–Gundam is a story about the two most divorced people to have ever not been married. And now Gundam GQuu

Demystifying Multi-Modal AI

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2025-09-11 13:00:39

Artificial Intelligence has come a long way in understanding language, recognizing images, and interpreting sound—but what happens when it can do all of that at once? That’s where Multi-Modal AI steps in: a new frontier where machines learn to process and combine information from different types of input—like text, images, audio, and video—just as humans do. What Is Multi-Modal AI? Multi-modal AI refers to systems that can understand and reason across multiple forms of data. For example, a sin

Some Animal Crossing Lego sets are cheaper than ever

I don’t know about you, but I’ve gotten back into Animal Crossing: New Horizons in a pretty big way since the Switch 2 arrived. I’ve started a new island (the game loads faster and runs better on that console), and I’ve been doing house chores to the relaxing music. The natural progression of my invigorated fandom will likely lead me to buy Lego’s Animal Crossing-themed sets — and what great timing, as some of them are discounted .

Old Video Shows Elon Musk Saying That What Tesla's Launching This Month Wouldn't Count as Full Self-Driving

The launch date for Tesla's long-awaited robotaxi service in Austin, Texas continues to slip, raising embarrassing questions for the company. For one, the modified Model Y SUVs that will initially make up the EV maker's robotaxi fleet won't technically be driverless, because they'll be teleoperated by human employees if anything goes wrong. They'll also be geofenced to only the easiest areas to drive in, which as Electrek points out is a fascinating example of how CEO Elon Musk has moved goalp

On the heels of a new Business Insider report about the production shutdown, which is purportedly slated for the week of June 30 based on insider interviews, the company's stock fell to about $316, which was almost four percent lower than it was at the start of the day.

Munich from a Hamburger's Perspective

Over the long weekend, thanks to Whit Monday being a public holiday in Germany, I decided to visit a friend who lives in Munich. I spent about three and a half days there and thought it would be a good idea to share my thoughts. I saw a lot during my stay, and since I live in Hamburg, I naturally started comparing the two cities. There are quite a few differences. Before I go into the details, I should mention that I’ve been living in Hamburg for seven years, and this was my first time in Bavar

As Murderbot fans have realized by now, the titular SecUnit robot would much, much rather check the perimeter or binge-watch trashy soap operas than interact with the humans in its care. Do not expect eye contact! But as we’re in the second half of the season, the self-aware AI and its team have bonded a bit as they’ve endured some major danger together—and it’s not over yet.

Borderlands 4 recommended specs call for an RTX 3080 and 32GB RAM

A hot potato: Now that people are no longer angry over Borderlands 4 possibly costing $80 (it's actually $70 for the standard edition), something else is causing plenty of outrage: the game's PC requirements. Asking for an RTX 3080 as the recommended GPU does seem excessive, and even the minimum specs are higher than expected. Borderlands 4's system requirements on its Steam page are certainly higher than one would expect. Even the bare minimum requirements, where we usually see ancient and/or
