Recursive Self-Improvement or RSI is widely considered the holy grail of AI, and a wild rumor now suggests that Google's DeepMind - the unlikeliest of AI labs in the current paradigm - has achieved this feat, which then puts a cynical spin on a somewhat coordinated push from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Elon Musk to try to achieve regulatory capture of the broader AI sphere by advocating for pacing progress on AI models. Cynisim abounds as Anthropic, OpenAI, and Elon Musk all call for pacing the progress on AI, which critics argue only serves as a front for disadvantaging other AI [β¦]

NVIDIA officially reserves DLSS Multi Frame Generation for its GeForce RTX 50 Series βBlackwellβ GPUs, but the PC modding community has spent the past few weeks systematically tearing down those barriers. We have now reached the point where experimental implementations of NVIDIA's DLSS-G pipeline can run on RTX 40 Series βAda Lovelaceβ GPUs, RTX 30 Series βAmpereβ cards, and even the older RTX 20 Series βTuringβ hardware. These projects are fundamentally more interesting than the numerous "DLSS (Multi) Frame Generation" mods that appeared over the past couple of years. Many of those older solutions simply intercepted NVIDIA's DLSS-G calls and [β¦]

An aging Pixel smartphone will always have multiple use cases, and while Googleβs Tensor might be the most underpowered SoC after Huaweiβs Kirin series, itβs still capable enough of running smaller AI models if configured properly. For instance, one enthusiast made a cyberdeck housing a Pixel 7 and ran Qwen2.5-abliterate:3b, a 3-billion-parameter uncensored model, which has its safety filters completely removed. Unfortunately, even running a smaller model on a Pixel 7 requires patience, as the handset only manages 5 tokens per second Using Claude Code, Redditor βLevfoβ generated the 3D-printed CAD files for the cyberdeck case used for the Pixel [β¦]

As expected, BlizzCon 2026's first game announcement during the Opening Ceremony was the long-rumored return of StarCraft. Dan Hay, a Blizzard GM/VP and former Ubisoft Montreal executive who helped shape Far Cry from Far Cry 3 through Far Cry 6 (including a stint as creative director on Far Cry 5), stepped on stage to reveal that he had first tried to join Blizzard as a youngster, only to be rejected. Two decades later, he received a call that gave him the chance to assemble a team and help bring back the studio's long-dormant sci-fi franchise. Hay's appearance also adds an [β¦]
