GameStop has built up a stake of 5% in eBay and is offering to acquire the company at $125 a share. GameStop has built up a stake of 5% in eBay and is offering to acquire the company at $125 a share. GameStop's $55.5bn bid for eBay rejected as'neither credible nor attractive' Online marketplace takes into account uncertainty around US video games retailer's financing proposal The board of eBay has rejected the US video games retailer GameStop's surprise $55.5bn bid (£41bn) for the online marketplace, describing the proposal as "neither credible nor attractive". Earlier this month, GameStop made an unsolicited bid for eBay, publishing a letter on its website outlining a half-cash, half-stock proposal. This was despite the US games company - which became a global household name during the meme stock craze of 2021 - being worth far less than its takeover target.

Delivering much information about the scale of what's coming, documentary also follows Gawdat's campaign to get the programs with empathy A nother day, another warning about AI; vis-a-vis the reality we all know, this has roughly the same reassuring effect as a plane fuselage ripping off mid-flight. Starting off with familiar criticisms, such as putting the world out of work and handing over power to tech barons, Alex Holmes and Lina Zilinskaite's film blasts an concentrated stream of AI concerns in its 83-minute runtime. By the time it is talking about current efforts to create computers out of human brain cells, potentially integrable into our own craniums, and implying this might be a good thing, it is (ironically) hard to know how to process all of this. The Cassandra at the film's centre is Mo Gawdat, former chief business officer at Google X, now a touring cautionary voice trying to get the world to listen about the perils of AI. Once overseeing advanced projects for the tech giants, his biggest moonshot lies ahead: to introduce a moral dimension into a tech race that looks increasingly like the frenzied season finale of late capitalism. He talks about feeling parental pride in watching Google's AI-driven robotic arms learn to grasp objects, as children do.

'There's a misconception that the AI vulnerability race is imminent. The reality is it's already begun,' said John Hultquist at Google's threat intelligence group.

Léa Sorrentino and Melvin Fauchoux perform in L'Astrologue ou les Faux Présages (The Astrologer, or False Omens), created using AI. Molière Ex Machina: AI used to create'new work' by beloved French playwright Molière is to the French what Shakespeare is to the English: the last word in historical literature, drama, wit and satire. Now, more than 350 years after his death, the 17th-century dramatist has been revived after scholars at the Sorbonne University in Paris used artificial intelligence to help write an experimental play in his style. L'Astrologue ou les Faux Présages (The Astrologer, or False Omens), a three-act comedy, made its debut at the Royal Opera at the Château de Versailles last week.

Palantir's access to identifiable NHS England patient data is'dangerous', MPs say Health service has given US tech firm'unlimited access' to certain data to build integrated platform, according to reports Mon 11 May 2026 08.01 EDTLast modified on Mon 11 May 2026 10.06 EDT MPs have warned that an NHS decision to grant Palantir access to identifiable patient information in its plan to use AI to improve the health service is "dangerous" and will fuel public fears that data privacy is not being prioritised. NHS England has allowed staff from the US tech firm and other contractors to access patient data before it has been pseudonymised, despite internal fears of a "risk of loss of public confidence", the Financial Times reported. The health service made the move to allow Palantir to access the data in recent weeks according to the reports, which revealed an internal NHS briefing that said it would allow "unlimited access to non-NHSE staff" to part of the NHS's federated data platform (FDP), which holds identifiable patient information.

For some, AI can help remove the drudgery from daily work. For many others, though, AI is not an assistant. For some, AI can help remove the drudgery from daily work. For many others, though, AI is not an assistant. Forget the AI job apocalypse.

I knew my writing students were using AI. It's what's lost when we surrender the struggle to translate thought into words I have been teaching fiction writing at MIT since 2017. Mark what works and what doesn't - underline great sentences, flag clunky syntax, gaps in logic and unrealistic dialogue. Ask yourself: does the story work?

Across Mixtape's four-hour runtime, you'skateboard, mash tongues together during a kiss, TP a house, ride a dinosaur and learn to fly' Across Mixtape's four-hour runtime, you'skateboard, mash tongues together during a kiss, TP a house, ride a dinosaur and learn to fly' W hen Johnny Galvatron was 14, his cousin gave him a copy of the Smashing Pumpkins' seminal 1995 album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. For Galvatron, a rambunctious teenager in Geelong who defined himself by his musical taste, it was love at first spin. "I don't think there's a track like Tonight, Tonight from any other band," he reminisces. A song from the album plays at a critical moment in Mixtape, the second game from Galvatron's Melbourne-based studio, Beethoven and Dinosaur. Mixtape is set over a single day; tomorrow, Stacy will be leaving her best friends, Slater and Cassandra, and flying to New York as part of a reckless plan to shove a mixtape into the hands of a superstar music supervisor who will, she believes, be so convinced of Stacy's genius that she'll offer her a job.
