Industry Leaders Call for AI Development Pause Concerns over the rapid and sometimes unsafe advancement of artificial intelligence have prompted major tech figures to advocate for a slowdown. Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, and Elon Musk have publicly supported an appeal made by Dario Amodei, the head of Anthropic. Amodei warned that without caution, an AI “swarm” could potentially gain the capacity to “take over the entire internet” within a single year. His call for reduced pace follows a series of safety warnings issued by AI researchers last week, and Amodei also advocated for safety coordination involving China. In…

Cyberpunk 2077 was initially developed by CD Projekt Red with a distinct focus on a first-person perspective, a choice rooted in the game’s specific narrative elements. According to Igor Sarzynski, the creative director for the upcoming Cyberpunk 2, the first-person viewpoint was deliberate because the protagonist, V, is portrayed as a mind inhabiting a decaying body, with the digital presence of Johnny Silverhand visible only to her. Sarzynski explained that a third-person camera would diminish this core narrative aspect by placing V and Johnny on visual par with the observer. Despite the narrative justification, players have long requested a third-person…
