Illinois has passed a law that guarantees compensation for underage social media entertainers. Starting July next year, if a child under 16 is featured in at least 30% of monetized content, a percentage of earnings must be placed in a trust account for the child. This law targets child labor in social media, and it was suggested by a 15-year-old who felt that children were being exploited by their parents. This move from Illinois is the first of its kind to protect child influencers.
An 18-year-old British teenager has been revealed as the likely culprit for the leak of GTA 6 footage. The teenager, who was out on bail for other cyber crimes and hacking activities, reportedly hacked into Rockstar's internal systems and released leaked gameplay footage of the upcoming game. The hacker allegedly used an Amazon Fire Stick he found in his hotel room, along with a newly purchased smartphone, to infiltrate cloud computing services, including Rockstar's internal Slack channel. He was caught by London police during a search of his hotel room.
There is a discussion on the best properties in Monopoly, with opinions varying among players. Some argue that the railroads are a strong choice, while others prefer properties like Baltic and Mediterranean.

The speaker recounts personal experiences of accidentally spilling acid in their car and dropping a phone in a pool. Despite the inconveniences, these incidents are seen as minor issues or first-world problems.
Rockstar has acquired cfx.re, the modding team behind the biggest roleplay servers for GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, 5M and Red M. Despite the fact that they banned cfx.re, the principal creators from both games back in 2015. cfx.re originally set up dedicated servers for roleplaying mods that allowed players to use custom vehicles, maps, and weapons. As of April 2021, these servers had a quarter million players.
Microsoft has removed offensive AI-written articles that its AI developed and published on LinkedIn. These articles included politically biased and inappropriate content. Microsoft apologized for the offensive articles and stated that they were accidentally published due to a training error. The company is working to improve its process and prevent similar incidents in the future.
Meta, formerly Facebook, has been blocking links to Canadian news sources, including satirical news, on its platforms since August 1st. This is in response to a Canadian law that requires large tech companies to pay news sites when their content is linked on their platforms. The ban has faced criticism for potentially endangering Canadians during crises such as forest fires. The ban on satirical news sources, including the Beaverton, has been lifted.
During his travels, the speaker was pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of people in Taiwan. He found that the locals were not only friendly towards tourists but also towards each other. This positive experience highlighted the sense of community and kindness in Taiwanese culture.
With the increasing complexity and demanding requirements of modern graphics, DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) has become necessary for many games to be playable. This technology allows for smoother frame rates and higher resolutions, making gameplay more enjoyable. As graphics advancements slow down, DLSS is becoming an essential tool for optimizing performance and maintaining good visual quality in games.
