theverge.com Andrew Webster 2025-09-18 17:49:37

Epic is continuing its attempts to turn Fortnite into a platform that’s bigger than just battle royale — this time by giving creators the ability to make and sell in-game items. Starting in December, Fortnite creators will be able to sell items directly from the islands they’ve built, using new tools that will be launching later on. The benefit, of course, is that creators on the platform will have a new revenue stream (currently, they earn revenue primarily based on engagement numbers). And Ep

Americans want AI to stay out of their personal lives

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-09-20 01:00:28

That’s down ever so slightly from 52 percent in 2023, but it’s up significantly from 37 percent in 2021. Americans expressed a number of concerns about AI, chief among them that it will negatively impact our ability to think creatively and form meaningful relationships with other people. Just 1

Artificial intelligence has notorious problems with accuracy — so maybe it's not surprising that using it as a coding assistant creates more security problems, too. As a security firm called Apiiro found in new research, developers who used AI produce ten times more security problems than their counterparts who don't use the technology.
