Things get weird when a neural net is trained on text adventure games

[ad_1] The answer is pretty weird. Shane aptly describes the experience as “dreamlike,” with the setting frequently, and seemingly without reason, changing from scene to scene. For example, in one playthrough, the AI opened the game with a scene set in space only then to quickly transition things to a “labyrinth of twisty little passages, […]

Amazon reportedly lists some toys before confirming they’re safe

[ad_1] An Amazon spokesperson told CNBC that the company requests safety documentation “very shortly” after a product is listed by a third party seller.

AppleCare+ for the iPhone and Watch is available as a monthly subscription

[ad_1] The change was first spotted in a new AppleCare+ legal document and reported by 9to5Mac. It could benefit customers who plan to keep their phones, iPads or watches for more than two years. They’ll be covered for longer, and Apple will get a continuous stream of subscription revenue. But they could end up paying […]

Google’s Nest Mini with wall mount and audio port hits the FCC

[ad_1] Included in the filing is a diagram (pictured above) that shows the bottom of the upcoming device. The diagram clearly depicts the wall mount — in this case, a simple hole and screw affair — and an additional cutout on the outside rim of the speaker. We can’t say for sure, but the added […]

Apple’s keyboard folio shouldn’t cost half the price of its new cheap iPad

[ad_1] A couple of years ago, I borrowed a first-generation iPad Pro, with their smart keyboard folios and pencils, to see if they could replace a laptop. Nothing I do here at Engadget requires a lot of brute force computing power, but it does demand versatility. I need to get in, write a document, edit […]

Seat wants to sell its Cupra Tavascan EV concept some day

The twin motor, four-wheel drive system delivers 302 horsepower, accelerating the Tavascan from 0 to 62 mph in 6.5 seconods. With a 77 […]
