Roblox Roadblocks – DTNS 4559

The Video Game History Foundation and Software Preservation Network claim that 87% of classic video games (that means games released before 2010) in the US are “critically endangered”. What’s being done to preserve these games? Meta announced that open beta for Roblox on the Quest 2 and Quest Pro headsets will launch in the “coming weeks.” Reuters reports that industry sources say Huawei has designed its own 5G chips and is working with China’s SMIC to produce them. SMIC’s N+1 process can make chips with the equivalent performance of 7 nanometer processes.

Paging Dr. Chad – DTNS 4557

The Wall Street Journal’s sources say Google is testing a language model called Med-PaLM 2 with some health care companies, including the Mayo Clinic. Is the start of AI integration into healthcare? We discussed Engadget’s article about NYU Media Lab’s AI & Local News Initiative. And Instagram head Adam Mosseri confirmed that Meta’s Threads app surpassed 100 million accounts since launching on July 5th. Is this the start of a new social media platform comparable to Twitter?
