November 23, 2025, 4:26 AM EST. AI is reshaping how players interact with games, not just as back-end tricks but as active teammates. Ubisoft's Teammates demo, building on the earlier NEO NPCs from Paris R&D, shows a cloud-based AI that can discuss strategy, adapt to you mid-mission, and assist in real time beyond canned dialogue. The debate around AI in games ranges from copyright and energy use to accuracy and immersion. While NFTs and metaverse buzz fizzled, Jaspar - the in-game assistant in Teammates - hints at a future where NPCs act as partners rather than prompts. The question remains whether this tech will enhance immersion or redefine agency, as developers weigh performance, privacy, and player consent in ongoing FPS lineups.

November 23, 2025, 4:24 AM EST. Lawmakers led by Rep. Zoe Lofgren are urging NASA's Office of Inspector General (OIG) to conduct a formal audit of the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, focusing on recent campus closures and relocations that began during the government shutdown. In a Nov. 21 letter signed by 16 members, they argue the actions threaten ongoing projects and the center's mission, cite NASA documents and employee accounts, and seek to compare decisions to the agency's Master Plan (2017-2037). NASA officials previously said the consolidations were long-planned and fiscally necessary, insisting the center is not being shut down. The request asks the OIG to identify decision-makers, motivations, and compliance with directives and property handling, and to assess potential long-term impacts on Goddard's scientific and technical capabilities.

November 23, 2025, 4:16 AM EST. DJI's Mini 4K is back with record-low Black Friday prices: $239 in the US (was $299) and £215 in the UK (was £269) for the basic bundle. Three bundles include the Fly More Combo at $359/£318.99. The reviewer says it's the best value starter drone, thanks to a light 4K camera, 3-axis gimbal, easy flight modes, and solid wind resistance. While the Mini 5 Pro offers more features like object sensing, the Mini 4K remains unmatched for price-to-performance for first-time pilots.

Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft's head of AI, argues it's 'mindblowing' that people aren't more impressed with generative AI tools, tweeting about the skepticism and praising the tech's ability to converse and generate media. The article notes Microsoft's push of agentic services and a vision of Windows as an agentic OS. Critics point out that despite hype, AI products often overstate capabilities and underperform in real tasks, citing Copilot's missteps in identifying locations and other failed demos, as reported by The Verge. The piece also mentions copyright scraping concerns and the broader debate over whether current AI can truly emulate human creativity and reasoning. The debate highlights a tension between enthusiasm for innovation and the need for realistic expectations and safeguards.
