I survived two years as prime minister in a hit new game - then my cabinet deserted me

BBC News

A mobile game made by a developer in Manchester has recently beaten the global phenomenon Minecraft to top Apple's paid games chart. Its success is perhaps even more surprising given its subject matter - UK politics. No 10: Full Confidence by Benjamin Brewis sees players take on the role of prime minister, making decisions through a wave of parliamentary scenarios and trying to remain in power for as long as possible. The success of Brewis's app, and the creation of others like it, suggests the dramatic recent ebb and flow of Westminster may have inspired a popular new sub-genre.

Mission review: George MacKay is transcendent in this fever dream about living

Mashable

Roly Porter's hypnotic score is a constant companion to Dylan, with The Unheard composer finding poignancy and care in the protagonist's darkest moments. And as a sum of its parts, becomes an intense, sobering experience, one that aims to get us inside Dylan's deepest thoughts. Ultimately, pulls us under with Dylan, rattled and contorted into his high-stakes experiment without the ability to connect with him ourselves. Through MacKay's fearless performance, Wright's discombobulating style, and a timely theme, the film wrestles with existence and connection, balancing darkness and light, despair and hope. It's a haunting watch, but one with an all-important glimmer of hope.

A government spokesperson tells the paper that the new system could cut bills for more consumers, while it quotes water campaigners warning that it could see suppliers penalising consumers for their own failures.

Anthropic is watermarking text generated by Claude to comply with EU law

Engadget

Anthropic has revealed how it's watermarking text generated by Claude AI to comply with the European Union's new AI transparency rules. The company said its text watermarking will not have easy-to-see visuals, will not be distinguishable to the people who read it and will not be adding hidden characters to the text. Instead, Anthropic's method involves leaving a pattern in the text that can only be decoded by someone who has the key for it. The company explained that large language models pick one word at a time when generating text by choosing from a list of potential appropriate words to use. They pick words randomly, as long as they make sense for the context of what they're generating.
