Editor's take: Game developers are actively promoting AI and large language models as the next big leap for the industry. Despite ambitious visions of fully automated characters and self-generating virtual worlds, the current reality falls short and is often limited to profanity-laced chatbots meant to nudge you into pressing a button. Epic Games recently announced several AI-related updates for Fortnite. Creators still building in the 2017 multiplayer game will soon be able to populate their b

With every iOS update, Apple quietly adds additional features under its accessibility category. These features are there to give people and customers alternatives to how they interact and use their iPhones. When iOS 17 was announced, they added a new feature called Personal Voice. This new feature seemed terrific; it was a way to train your iPhone to speak and sound like you, literally. But now it’s been almost 2 years since its release. So, how well does it work?

Wes Anderson’s new film, “The Phoenician Scheme,” is a funny-ha-ha comedy, but there’s nothing funny about its story, which involves a wealthy industrialist’s attempts to realize a grandiose infrastructure project. Anderson’s signature is instantly recognizable in the movie’s decorative production design, its frontal and symmetrical framings, and its antic, densely plotted story—and equally in the fact that it is a violent and death-haunted action film, filled with fights and chases.

Dyson is compared to Apple on a regular basis for a reason: Both brands have built their businesses on reputations for innovation, design excellence and an image of prestige that sets them apart from the pack.

My personal daily driver is the AOC Q27G4ZD (8/10, WIRED Review). A 1440p screen is a very manageable resolution for modern systems, and a great target for a new build. This AOC is a premium version, with the latest panel tech, at a very reasonable price. It quickly took the place of a less impressive 4K screen, which I think is a testament to how much of an improvement QD-OLED is over most other panel types. It has a 240-Hz refresh rate, which is among the highest you’ll find on gaming screens
