Every few weeks, it seems like there's a new headline about a lawyer getting in trouble for submitting filings containing, in the words of one judge, "bogus AI-generated research." The details vary, but the throughline is the same: an attorney turns to a large language model (LLM) like ChatGPT to help them with legal research (or worse, writing), the LLM hallucinates cases that don't exist, and the lawyer is none the wiser until the judge or opposing counsel points out their mistake. In some cases, including an aviation lawsuit from 2023, attorneys have had to pay fines for submitting filings with AI-generated hallucinations. So why haven't they stopped?The answer mostly comes down to time crunches, and the way AI has crept into nearly every profession. Legal research databases like LexisNexis and Westlaw have AI integrations now. For lawyers juggling big caseloads, AI can seem like an incredibly efficient assistant. Most lawyers aren't necessarily using ChatGPT to write their filings, but they are increasingly using it and other LLMs for research. Yet many of these lawyers, like much of the public, don't understand exactly what LLMs are or how they work. One attorney who was sa …Read the full story at The Verge.

UV printing is one of my favorite methods for adding detailed designs to a wide range of materials, including acrylic sheets, wood panels, and even canvas. But getting consistently sharp, vibrant, and durable results hasn’t always been smooth sailing. Like any creative tool, a UV printer has its quirks. Through trial and error, I’ve worked through some of the most frustrating quality issues. Here are five common problems I’ve personally dealt with — and the tweaks that helped me fix them.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has taken the gaming community by storm, with its vivid art-style, high-level production, and crisp feeling parries. Launching on Xbox Game Pass, an aspect of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 that hasn't gotten the love it deserves is how excellent its party members are. It has a smaller party than some turn-based RPGs of this style, but those characters not only have incredible depth, but each character also has a unique combat mechanic. While every party member is great in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, in terms of character quality and mechanics, there is an order to their greatness. Here's how every character stacks up in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

There are plenty of ways to upgrade your painstakingly-assembled battlestation of a PC. On the software front, you could go for Lossless Scaling, MSI Afterburner, and a host of cool utilities. Meanwhile, the hardware side is governed by several neat peripherals, accessories, and components designed to enhance the functionality of your rig. This includes PCIe devices, and I don’t just mean graphics cards.

Father's Day rules. It's a day to celebrate all that dads have contributed to the people, homes, and communities that they're a part of. Being a dad is a lot of work - something I can vouch for, being a relatively new one myself - so for Father's Day, why not give dear old dad a token of appreciation and love? Whether your dad prefers practical or clever gifts, we think you'll be pleased with the selection of picks below.As usual, we lean pretty heavily on tech, but there are several non-tech suggestions that most dads will be happy to receive, all of which come courtesy of the thoughtful staff here at The Verge. If a fast-charging portable battery or Sony's collapsible WH-1000XM6 headphones won't do the trick, perhaps Kurt Vonnegut's recently discovered two-player board game or a mountable Lego van Gogh replica will?Read the full story at The Verge.

A screenshot from Marvel Cosmic Invasion.Dotemu is on a pretty good run. The video game studio and publisher has been around since 2007, and much of its history is largely working on remakes and remasters of older games. But it's also been involved with major hits in the form of sequels and new games that are in the spirit of older classics, including Streets of Rage 4 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge.All of that work is culminating in what looks to be a promising 2025, with three new but classics-inspired games: Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, a new side-scroller for the series; Marvel Cosmic Invasion, an arcade-y beat-'em-up; and Absolum, an original beat-'em-up with roguelike elements. "We're open to everything," CEO Cyrille Imbert tells The Verge. Despite his title, Imbert says his job involves acting like an executive producer to bring together concepts that answer specific needs for franchises.Before Shredder's Revenge's 2022 release, for example, there hadn't been a good side-scrolling TMNT game for "a while," he says. (Turtles in Time, which helped inspire the game, came out in 1991.) "We were convinced that there was a need for that." There was: the game sold 1 million copies in its first week …Read the full story at The Verge.

The student-built Purdubik’s Cube set a new Guinness World Record by solving a Rubik’s Cube in just 0.103 seconds. | Photo: Matthew Patrohay / Purdue UniversityA team of Purdue University students recently set a new Guinness World Record with their custom robot that solved a Rubik's Cube in just 0.103 seconds. That was about a third of the time it took the previous record-setting bot. But the new record wasn't achieved by simply building a robot that moves faster. The students used a combination of high-speed but low-res camera systems, a cube customized for improved strength, and a special solving technique popular among human speed cubers.The Rubik's Cube-solving robot arms race kicked off in 2014, when a robot called Cubestormer 3 built with Lego Mindstorms parts and a Samsung Galaxy S4 solved the iconic puzzle in 3.253 seconds - faster than any human or robot could at the time. (The current world record for a human solving a Rubik's Cube belongs to Xuanyi Geng, who did it in just 3.05 seconds.) Over the course of a decade, engineers managed to reduce that record to just hundreds of milliseconds.Last May, engineers at Mitsubishi Electric in Japan claimed the world record with a robot that solved a cube in 0.305 seconds. The record stood for almost a year before the team from Purdue's Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer …Read the full story at The Verge.

Every time I set up my home network again, I go through a checklist to ensure that basic security is in place. Whether it's to use the latest Wi-Fi 7 routers or to use a custom router and firewall running OPNsense, these steps lay the groundwork for what's to come.

I've been a Windows user since I first laid hands on a keyboard, but since my childhood, I've branched out and dabbled with every operating system one could think of. Even still, most of my work and play occurs on Mac and Windows PCs, respectively. Linux was the odd one left out, and it's unfortunate because I love the idea of Linux. Open-source, ultimate customizability, and absolutely zero bloat just sounds like total bliss, but I've always delayed any kind of swap for two main reasons: comfort and compatibility.

You can never have enough local storage, which is why it's important to pick up SSDs, HDDs, or portable drives whenever they go on sale. With that said, this Team Group 2TB M.2 SSD with heatsink is now down to a price that can't be ignored, coming in at just $120 for a 2TB stick. This is the best price we've seen on this model all year, which makes it the perfect time to pick one up.

We’ve all been there — imagining having a map we personally know. Now, the people of New York, Seattle, and other major American cities might have had that itch scratched through multiple fantastic games, but coming from an Indian city, there’s still a very long time before that happens.
