Harsh but not wrong. The addiction storyline would have given the middle section actual dramatic stakes and they chose not to go there.
Benlira is a former hero party member who became a skeletal messenger after 120 years of slumber. The backstory here is richer than the article implies, and honestly the reveal of her past connection to the hero party is what sets this apart from generic undead protagonists.
Fair point, but execution still matters. Rough-on-purpose is a harder pitch than it sounds.
Four billion dollar company, UK based, founded in 2017. This is the kind of story that should be getting more attention as proof that European AI startups can compete at global scale.
When a company's revenue jumps from $10 million to $100 million in nine months, you pay attention. When that growth comes from an AI agent that builds entire applications autonomously, you realize something fundamental just changed in software development. Replit Agent represents that change, and the numbers prove developers are ready for it. Replit started as a browser-based coding environment for education. Students could write Python or JavaScript without installing anything locally. Teachers loved it because setup time vanished. But the company saw something bigger. If you could run code in the browser, why not let AI write that code? That question led to Agent 3, an AI that doesn't just suggest code completions. It builds entire applications from scratch.
The authentication and database features in Bolt Cloud are genuinely full-stack capable for most use cases. Stop treating this like a toy.
Honestly the uncanny valley problem has mostly been solved for internal corporate use. Nobody expects a training video presenter to have the warmth of a live teacher. The standard is just professional and clear.
There's a photograph from February 2026 that pretty much sums up the state of AI right now. At the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi invited the world's tech leaders onstage for a group photo. Everyone held hands. Well, almost everyone. Sam Altman of OpenAI and Dario Amodei of Anthropic, standing right next to each other, refused to clasp hands and instead raised their fists separately. The internet, predictably, lost its mind. An awkward moment between OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei at an AI Summit captured the increasingly icy relations between two rival tech leaders who started off as colleagues. That's not just petty drama. It's a window into what may be the most consequential corporate rivalry in the technology world right now, one that's playing out in boardrooms, courtrooms, Super Bowl ads, and billion-dollar compute deals all at once.
The article keeps calling this unprecedented but Anthropic finding zero-days in every major OS and every major browser is not a small caveat. That is civilization-level infrastructure.
Codex producing more production-ready code versus Codex being faster and cheaper on straightforward tasks is a genuinely useful distinction that most of these comparison articles miss completely.
Instagram has rolled out a small but long overdue feature that users have been asking for years. You can now edit your comments after posting them. This simple change solves a very real frustration. Until now, fixing even the smallest typo meant deleting your comment and writing it all over again. That friction is finally gone. But there is a boundary. You get a 15 minute window after posting to make edits. Within that time, you can update your comment as many times as you want. There is also a layer of transparency built in. Once a comment is edited, others will be able to see that it has been modified. However, unlike platforms such as iMessage, Instagram does not show the edit history. What was originally written stays hidden.
Meta has just had one of its most important AI moments yet and the early signals are hard to ignore. Following the launch of its newest AI model Muse Spark, the company’s standalone Meta AI app surged dramatically in popularity, hinting at a much larger shift that is beginning to take shape. The release is particularly significant because it marks the first major AI model rollout under Alexandr Wang, who joined Meta to reboot its AI strategy. This is not just another incremental update. It represents a more aggressive and focused push into the AI race. According to data from Appfigures, Meta AI jumped from number 57 to number 5 on the U.S. App Store within a day of the launch. That kind of movement rarely happens without a strong underlying pull from users. It signals not curiosity but intent.
The global cryptocurrency market capitalization has climbed back above the $2.5 trillion threshold, fueled by a massive liquidation of short positions and renewed institutional interest. Geopolitical developments and shifting investor sentiment combined to create a powerful rally that caught bearish traders off guard, resulting in substantial losses for those betting against the market. According to data from CoinGecko, the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies combined increased 1.4% to reach $2.52 trillion on Friday, April 10. Bitcoin experienced a notable surge of over 3%, briefly touching the $73,000 mark before consolidating around $72,000 at the time of writing. Ethereum demonstrated equally impressive strength, pushing past the $2,200 level, while the majority of top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization also posted significant gains.
Every time I think I understand what drives crypto prices, something like Iran considering Bitcoin for oil payments happens and I realize I have no idea about anything.
I work in digital safety for a nonprofit and the Internet Watch Foundation angle is important. Child protection organizations have genuinely been begging platforms to find solutions that allow content scanning without full E2EE. TikTok is not inventing this concern.
Anyone else think black trousers are overplayed? Navy could be an interesting alternative here
I'm thinking about recreating this look for my birthday brunch next month. Would rose gold jewelry work instead of the geometric pieces?
