wired.com Will Knight 2026-01-29 20:02:47

A new kind of artificial intelligence agent, trained to understand how software is built by gorging on a company’s data and learning how this leads to an end product, could be both a more capable software assistant and a small step toward much smarter AI. The new agent, called Asimov, was developed by Reflection, a small but ambitious startup cofounded by top AI researchers from Google.

Meet the cement transport ship that makes cement ingredients while sailing

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2026-01-29 21:11:50

Shipping has a pollution problem, but one company has a solution that does more than just eliminate a boat’s carbon dioxide. London-based Seabound has developed a carbon capture system that transforms CO 2 from the engine into limestone, a key ingredient in cement. Fittingly, the company has installed it aboard the UBC Cork, a cement carrier currently sailing through the Mediterranean Sea. When the ship docks in Norway, the limestone created from the voyage will be offloaded and used to make m

For Nintendo, freedom means more than an open world

In past Donkey Kong games, like Tropical Freeze or DKC Returns, I would often find myself stuck against a particularly challenging platforming sequence. And there wasn’t much I could do. If I wanted to progress, I had to nail those jumps or avoid those spikes to move on. Donkey Kong Bananza, on the other hand, offers a different tactic: smash some shit up. While the game is a 3D platformer, it also introduces destructive gameplay that lets you find new solutions or pathways just by smashing up t

Donkey Kong Bananza turns destruction into joy

My first thought upon starting up Donkey Kong Bananza was, “Why yes, I actually would like to go ape shit.” The game starts by having Donkey Kong smash through a wall to reveal a glittering gem waiting to be liberated from the rock. But instead of punching the bright yellow gem into bite-size pieces, I kept punching through the walls and floors, digging tunnels into the landscape.
