'AI' Is Coming For Your Online Gaming Servers Next

"Consumer PC parts aren't the only things being gobbled up by the 'AI' industry," writes PCWorld's Michael Crider. "A Starcraft-inspired strategy game is shutting down its multiplayer servers because the hosting company got bought out for 'AI.'"

Как я запустил AI-ассистента на старом Xiaomi 11T, который пылился в ящике

Убирался в комнате, наткнулся на старый Xiaomi 11T в ящике — 8 ГБ ОЗУ, Dimensity 1200, лежит без дела. Решил превратить его в персональный AI-сервер: поднял OpenClaw через Termux, подключил бесплатную модель через OpenRouter и теперь у меня в Telegram отвечает свой AI-ассистент. Бесплатно. Четыре способа установки, борьба с Android за живучесть процесса и подробный раздел про безопасность. Читать далее Read more

I’m 37 and I realized last month that I’ve spent my entire adult life collecting achievements to outrun a feeling I can’t name — and I genuinely have everything I was told to want versus feeling anything close to what I was promised it would feel like

Despite building successful businesses, publishing a book, and checking every box of conventional success, I discovered I'd been using achievements as expensive band-aids over a wound I'd never let myself examine—until my newborn daughter forced me to confront why nothing I'd accomplished felt like enough.
