futurism.com Unknown 2026-02-15 00:07:35

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is absolutely tripping over himself to attract top AI talent to fill the ranks of his recently announced Superintelligence Labs — and he's willing to go to obscene lengths to make it happen. As Wired reports, more than a dozen people at Thinking Machines Lab, an AI startup founded by former OpenAI executive Mira Murati, were approached by Meta with ludicrous job offers. One individual was even offered more than $1 billion, paid out over several years, a source told Wir

VILE: Exhumed is an unjust casualty in Steam's sweeping censorship campaign

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-15 00:02:03

Over the past few weeks, thousands of video games have been banned, removed and delisted from Steam and Itch.io. The justifications for doing so have been almost comically vague, and at least one highly anticipated title is now unable to be sold despite containing nothing objectionable. It started in early July, when payment processors including Visa, Mastercard and PayPal established new regulations concerning the types of games they would allow to be sold on the PC gaming platforms they suppo

NVIDIA is calling time on its Maxwell, Pascal and Volta GPUs, with one last significant driver release scheduled for October. This means that all graphics cards belonging to the GeForce GTX 7-, 9- and 10-series categories will only receive quarterly security updates beyond the October cutoff, with support ending entirely three years later in 2028. While they’ll still work after that, they won’t be optimized for new games and are more vulnerable to technical exploits. NVIDIA described its 11-yea

Is Ferrari a car company? The obvious answer is yes, but not according to its CEO, Benedetto Vigna, who recently described the company’s business model saying, “We are not – we are not – a car company. We are a luxury company that is also doing cars.” That’s their differentiator. Their brand. Their “schtick.” And, it works, but not because it’s a marketing ploy. It works because Ferrari backs it up with its actions. How so? By adhering to its founder Enzo Ferrari’s “scarcity dictum” that de
