The Call of Duty franchise continues its Fortnite-ification by announcing the latest playable character will be Tomb Raider star Lara Croft. The fictional grave robber will appear in Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare II, joining recent real-life playable characters like Nicki Minaj, Snoop Dogg, Kevin Durant and various characters from the Prime Video show The Boys, among others. Publisher Activision hasn't announced details as to how you get Lara Croft on your side, though it's likely you'll have to purchase some sort of bundle to access the renowned ruins ruiner. For instance, Minaj was available as part of the $10 season 5 battle pack. There will also likely be Croft-related items, skins and weapons for sale, though her signature dual-wielded pistols should be part of the initial buy-in.

Anthropic, an AI startup co-founded by former employees of OpenAI, has quietly begun testing a new, ChatGPT-like AI assistant named Claude. The team at Anthropic was gracious enough to grant us access, and updates to Anthropic's social media policies mean we can now share some of our early, informal comparison findings between Claude and ChatGPT. To show how Claude is different, we'll begin by asking ChatGPT and Claude to introduce themselves with the same prompt. Short and to the point -- ChatGPT is an assistant made to answer questions and sound human. The interface to Claude is a Slack channel using a bot that edits messages to make text appear word-by-word. This causes "(edited)" to appear.

More and more people talk about Artificial Intelligence, especially in the last few years. Humans have been brave enough to think about the possibility of robots that can do things that humans do for a long time. Even though this has been helpful in many ways, have we ever wondered if artificial intelligence could be smarter than humans? Before you can compare human and artificial intelligence, you need to know what artificial intelligence is. In simple terms, artificial intelligence is the set of skills that a machine needs to be able to do tasks that a human can do easily.

Once again, players are tasked with searching between three points---this time in the new desert zone that replaced Moisty Mires. This week's challenge asks players to search between an oasis, a rock archway and dinosaurs. All of these can be found just to the south and west of Paradise Palms, one of the Fortnite: Battle Royale's newest locales. Uncovering the hidden Battle Star will net you an entire Season 5 Battle Pass tier, getting you that much closer to Tier 100 and the Ragnarok outfit.

Here's where to search for 7 floating Lightning Bolts in'Fortnite: Battle Royale.'Credit: Fortnite: Battle Royale's Season 5 just kicked off. With it comes another week of challenges, though this Season the first 3 challenges are for everyone, while the final 4 are for Battle Pass owners exclusively, a change from previous seasons. One of the new challenges this week is to search 7 Floating Lightning Bolts across the map---which has seen some big changes in Season 5 including a new desert biome and two new Named Locations: Lazy Links, a golf course replacing Anarchy Acres; and Paradise Palms, a new urban location where Moisty Mires used to be, smack-dab in the middle of the desert. See all of Week 1's challenges here.

Season 5 of Fortnite has officially begun, and with it comes a brand new Battle Pass. The Battle Pass is Fortnite: Battle Royale's most ingenious innovation. For 950 V-Bucks, or just about $10 USD, you buy into the paid version of the game for one season. Seasons last 10 weeks and come with weekly challenges, 100 cosmetic rewards and lots more. So now that the Season 5 Battle Pass has gone live, let's take a look at what's in it.

The sky itself has cracked in Fortnite: Battle Royale, and Epic Games is teasing a dramatic map overhaul that looks like it's going to incorporate elements of Japanese, Viking and American Western culture. The developer has been working hard to make the start of season 5 as cataclysmic as possible, beginning with a rocket launch a little while ago and continuing on through a series of rifts that have been both eating parts of the map and spitting out mysterious objects. There's even an ARG that's involved llamas scattered throughout the world and a giant Durr Burger head plopped in the middle of the California Desert. It all comes to a head with the start of Season 5, but you may be wondering when, exactly, that is. Here's what time Season 5 will start in Fortnite: Battle Royale.

If you just started playing Fortnite recently, you might be a little confused about why people are freaking out right now. The game is currently in the final moments of Season 4, with Season 5 right around the corner and a bunch of in-game events starting to tie into whatever is coming next. But, of course, that might not make any sense it all, leaving yopu with a lot of questions about why a straightforward PvP game has a giant crack in the sky. What does it all even mean? Season 5 is tied to the Season 5 battle pass, and it translates to a whole lot of different things about the experience of Fortnite: Battle Royale.

A massive burger from the popular game Fortnite made an appearance in the Mojave Desert. The "Fortnite" phenomenon has just got even weirder. A giant real-life version of the "Durr Burger" sign featured in the wildly popular video game has been found in the Mojave desert. The huge sign from a restaurant in the game, complete with protruding eyes and tongue, was spotted in Llano, California, Mashable reports. "What.... is this... I'm in the middle of the desert why is this here???" tweeted photographer Sela Shiloni Friday.

There's something big afoot in Fortnite: Battle Royale, and Epic wants all eyes forward. The developer just updated the in-game news feed with a somewhat cryptic message advertising the upcoming Season 5 battle pass, something that dedicated players have been speculating about for a while but that Epic has only recently started to address head-on. The text reads only "Worlds Collide: 3 days until Season 5." The message is accompanied by a teaser image that Epic's official Fortnite twitter sent out a little while ago. It appears to depict a stylized version of a Japanese mask depicting Kitsune, which is both the word for fox and a sort of character out of folklore and mythology. There's also a blue, crackling rift over the right eye, something that matches what players have been seeing in-game for about a week.
