From trading cards to action figures, from sneakers to event tickets, bots are everywhere… including the grim dark future of Warhammer. This week Games Workshop announced plans to launch pre-orders for a bonus “final” entry in its lo

Investment CEO Tells Convention Audience That 60 Percent of Them Will Be Unemployed Next Year Due to AI

Although hundreds of billions of dollars have been poured into AI development, nearly 75 percent of businesses have failed to deliver the return on investment promised to them. The hyped up tech is notoriously buggy and in some ways now actually getting worse, with project failure rates on the rise. Despite staring into the maw of a colossal money pit, tech CEOs are doubling down, announcing plans to increase spending on AI development, going as far as laying off armies of workers to cut down o

The Download: Amsterdam’s welfare AI experiment, and making humanoid robots safer

Amsterdam thought it was on the right track. City officials in the welfare department believed they could build technology that would prevent fraud while protecting citizens’ rights. They followed these emerging best practices and invested a vast amount of time and money in a project that eventually processed live welfare applications. But in their pilot, they found that the system they’d developed was still not fair and effective. Why? Lighthouse Reports, MIT Technology Review, and the Dutch n

Survey reveals the fierce loyalty of Android fans

Robert Triggs / Android Authority While the name of our site shows where our main loyalties sit, we’re not afraid to praise Apple when it pulls off an engineering feat. That said, we know our fans are mainly of the Android persuasion. What we wondered was, how many of you would consider switching from Android to iOS at some point? We ran a poll to find out. For full transparency, we ran the survey in an article by Mitja Rutnik about why he personally wouldn’t consider switching. Mitja makes a

Apple to add proximity pairing setup to the Mac with macOS 15.4

iPhone and iPad users are already very familiar with something called “proximity pairing.” First introduced with iOS 11, this feature lets users transfer backup and other data from one device to a new one just by placing them close together. Now it seems that Apple is finally working on adding proximity pairing setup to the Mac. Proximity pairing setup coming to the Mac Evidence seen by 9to5Mac in the iOS 18.4 code suggests that the Mac will soon gain proximity pairing, just like the iPhone an

Sparse Voxels Rasterization: Real-Time High-Fidelity Radiance Field Rendering

Our scene representation is a hybrid of primitive and volumetric model. (a) Primitive component. We explicitly allocate voxels primitives to cover different scene level-of-details under an Octree layout. Note that we do not replicate a traditional Octree data structure with parent-child pointers or linear Octree. We only keep voxels at the Octree leaf nodes without any ancestor nodes. (b) Volumetric component. Inside a voxel is a volumetric (trilinear) density field and a (constant) spherical ha

A cryptocurrency scam that turned a small town against itself

Online scams are as old as the internet, but the rise of crypto has given con artists a valuable new tool — digital coins that can be transferred instantly, without oversight from banks legally obligated to monitor transactions for malfeasance. In 2023, crypto fraud cost American investors an estimated $4.8 billion, according to the F.B.I. The scams are so common that law-enforcement authorities have taken to calling them by a pithy name: Pig butchering, a rough translation of an expression wide
