The author explains how modern LLMs have evolved into agentic systems that can plan, act, and adapt without human input, contrasting them with traditional, prescriptive software. Real-world tests show mixed results: while AI can generate images, summarize a novel, or deliver surprisingly coherent analyses, it can also spit out clearly incorrect sports statistics and match results. The piece underscores that despite impressive feats and advertising around AI, accuracy is not guaranteed, and even early successes can crumble under scrutiny. The takeaway: treat AI output as needing verification and maintain human oversight and governance as the technology becomes more autonomous.

October 26, 2025, 5:04 PM EDT. New findings from the BBC and the European Broadcasting Union show that roughly 45% of AI news queries to leading systems - ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Perplexity - yield errors. The report highlights how 'dangerously self-confident' AI can give faulty analyses of news, often drawing on outdated or incorrect sources. The piece explains that LLMs operate via embeddings that map token relationships across large data sets, making them vulnerable to a poisoned corpus. Even small data mistakes can cascade into many incorrect answers, especially when AI is used for analysis, writing, or data collection. This underscores the need for caution when trusting open-corpus AI in journalism and policy discussions.

October 26, 2025, 5:02 PM EDT. RedMagic 11 Pro introduces the world's first mass-produced liquid cooling system for a smartphone, AquaCore, with a 24,000rpm fan. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen5 and a RedCore R4 graphics chip, it's built for serious mobile gaming. At 8.9mm thick and 230g, it houses a 7,500mAh battery promising over 13 hours of continuous play. Nubia positions the device as a premier gaming powerhouse, with a US launch set for November 3, 2025. The move signals growing interest in advanced cooling and top-tier hardware in phones.

October 26, 2025, 4:52 PM EDT. Redmi's flagship-killer era continues with the K90 Pro Max, its first Redmi/Xiaomi phone marketed as a Pro Max. The 6.9-inch 1.5K OLED 120Hz display supports HDR10+, 68.7B colors, and Dolby Vision, with an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint and Longjing Glass. The triple rear cameras include a 50MP main sensor (LightHunter 950, 1/1.31-inch), a 50MP periscope telephoto (5x optical, 10x lossless), and a 50MP ultra-wide (OV50M). Redmi's AISP 2.0 AI processing refines output. Video tops at 8K/30 or 4K/60. The standout feature is the Bose-powered speakers, plus a dedicated subwoofer to deliver a 2.1 stereo sound field for deeper bass and richer acoustics.

October 26, 2025, 4:50 PM EDT. AI is reshaping game design by moving beyond scripted responses to adaptive, context-aware systems. From early rule-based enemies to real-time player analytics, AI now enables dynamic difficulty, procedurally generated levels, and reactive NPCs. The rise of GameGPT-a blend of generative AI and gaming algorithms-lets designers craft dialogue, characters, quests, and lore, and to test balance across vast player populations. This partnership between human imagination and machine creativity promises richer storytelling, branching narratives, and personalized experiences where the game adapts to choices and emotions. While evolution continues, developers can leverage AI for world-building, tone analysis, and rapid prototyping, reshaping both the creation process and the player experience.
