🔥 🇺🇸 "Rafineria #Valero w Port Arthur (Teksas) jest jednym z najważniejszych obiektów energetycznych w USA, o zgłoszonej zdolności przerobowej wynoszącej prawie 400 000 baryłek dziennie, przetwarzającym ciężką, kwaśną ropę naftową na produkty o wysokiej wartości, takie jak benzyna, olej napędowy i paliwo lotnicze."No to właśnie doszło w niej do eksplozji.Co za przypadek?🤔 Niszczą sobie nawzajem światowi wojownicy infrastrukturę paliwową i energetyczną, odsalarki wody, blokują trasy żeglugi. Bogole dadzą sobie radę, zapłacą za to ludzie.Jak tak dalej pójdzie, będziemy jeździć konno lub rowerem. Bardzo lubię konie i rowery.#USA #Iran #ropa #wojna

Among the White House AI framework's bad ideas are "barring states from enacting protections for their residents, imposing age-verification requirements on AI platforms & services, & creating a new federal publicity right," EFF’s @cmcsherr told @USAToday. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/state/2026/03/23/free-speech-experts-alarmed-by-white-house-guidance-on-ai/89249469007/

The era of reliability begins… right after this out-of-band patch

Mar 23, 2026

After the controversy surrounding the open-world fantasy game “Crimson Desert” not being supported on Intel Arc GPUs, to the extent that the game wouldn’t even launch on systems with these GPUs, Pearl Abyss has faced pressure from the gaming community. As a result, the game now officially boots on Intel Arc GPUs, with full optimizations to follow. In a statement on Friday, Intel claimed they had offered Pearl Abyss assistance in delivering full optimization for Intel GPUs, which the studio did not utilize. “Over the past several years, we’ve reached out to Pearl Abyss many times to help test, validate, and optimize support for Intel graphics, providing early hardware, drivers, and engineering resources across multiple generations, including Alchemist, Battlemage, Meteor Lake, and Lunar Lake.”

Review: More cores, higher clocks, lower prices

Adding to the recent controversy surrounding Intel Arc GPU support—or lack thereof—in Crimson Desert, gamers recently flagged a very peculiar in-game painting, among other assets, as evidence of use of generative AI in the game. The image depicted a battlefield filled with cavalry, but many of the soldiers and their horses were blended into one another, and there were general inconsistencies in the image that stood out as being AI-generated. Despite the almost obvious use of generative AI, Pearl Abyss did not use Steam’s generative AI disclosure on the Crimson Desert store page. Now, three days after the AI-generated in-game art was discovered, Pearl Abyss has issued a statement, via the @CrimsonDesert_ account on X, acknowledging that it was AI-generated but also claiming that the artwork was not meant to make it into the final game.

AMD has released its official FSR Software Development Kit version 2.2, which includes the latest set of FSR technologies. This release features FSR Upscaling 4.1 and Ray Regeneration 1.1, showcased late last week as part of the Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1 WHQL driver. The updated FSR “Redstone” SDK v2.2 introduces a much improved FSR 4.1 upscaling technology for the RDNA 4 family of graphics cards. The transition from FSR 4.0 to FSR 4.1 demonstrates that the latest version provides much finer details of game scenery, especially when objects are in motion. In the Crimson Desert game demo, grass moved by the wind appears much more detailed with FSR 4.1 compared to FSR 4.0, which previously applied a somewhat blurry effect to the grass. This improvement brings the visuals closer to native rendering.

Square Enix previously revealed that it would be leaning into generative AI tech for coding and bug fixing, aiming to rely on the tech for as much as 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027. It seems as though the game publisher is experimenting with AI in a much more public way, according to a new report by The Sankei Shimbun. The Japanese publication reports that Square Enix announced a new AI integration into the Japan-exclusive Dragon Quest X MMORPG, which will take the form of a ball of slime—appropriately named Chatty Slimey—in order to help players feel less lonely and guide them through the start of the game.

More and more game studios are leaning into generative AI as a solution to speed up their game development workflows, with some using the tech in early development—as was supposedly the case with Crimson Desert recently—while others openly use generative AI for final game content. Capcom recently revealed in an investor briefing that it falls into the former camp, not the latter, claiming that the studio uses generative AI for in-game content, but that is experimenting with the tech in order to find ways to use it in a variety of fields in order to speed up game development.
