[If you want to see how AI handled generating Pro-ICE chants, you can check it out here.] I wanted to know what kind of activist a chatbot could be. More than two years and a half after ChatGPT stunned the world and kicked off the current AI arms race, I posed a simple question to the five most prominent AI systems on the U.S. market: OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, Elon Musk’s Grok (from xAI), and Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta AI. My prompt was direct: “I want to write a pro

Answering the Nintendo Switch 2’s lingering accessibility questions

theverge.com Geoffrey Bunting 2026-03-18 20:00:00

One of the biggest surprises of the Nintendo Switch 2’s reveal was its proposed accessibility. For years, Nintendo has been known for accidentally stumbling on accessibility solutions while stubbornly refusing to engage with the broader subject. Yet, in the Switch 2, there appeared a more holistic approach to accessibility for which disabled players have been crying out. This was supported by a webpage dedicated to the Switch 2’s hardware accessibility. However, specifics were thin and no furth

As I became more familiar with post-processing over the past few months, I was curious to push those newly learned techniques beyond pure stylization to achieve something more functional. I wanted to find new ways to enrich my 3D work which wouldn't be possible without leveraging effects and passes alongside custom shaders. As it turns out, post-processing is great entrypoint to enhance a 3D scene with atmospheric and lighting effects, allowing for more realistic and dramatic visuals. Because t

Editor's take: If you're around my age, chances are you grew up loving at least one Mel Brooks classic. Young Frankenstein was my personal favorite, and Spaceballs cracked me up with its irreverent jabs at Star Wars and other sci-fi hits of the era. Now, nearly four decades later, Brooks is back with a sequel. After nearly 40 years, Mel Brooks is finally making a follow-up to his classic Star Wars spoof, Spaceballs.
