16GB VRAM Tops Steam's Survey. But Windows Tells a Different Story
Steam's overall survey put 16GB VRAM ahead of 8GB, yet its Windows-only results tell the opposite story. A VRAM reporting fix, an unusual February sample and an unexplained gap between platform totals make the headline harder to interpret than it looks.

Super Mario Bros. has been played and analyzed frame by frame since 1985, and its world record is just four frames short of the theoretical target. Yet in 2026, researchers found a way to run their own code inside the game — following a clue from an entirely different Mario title.

Why Do Hundreds of Multiplayer Games Fail on Steam Deck? Linux Isn't Always the Problem
Around 59% of the anti-cheat games tracked by Are We Anti-Cheat Yet are broken on Linux/Proton or have been explicitly denied support. Yet EAC and BattlEye have Proton-compatible paths. For major games such as Apex Legends, the obstacle is often a developer's security decision rather than a technical impossibility.

Is everyone running from GTA 6? Why is September so crowded and November so quiet?
The industry narrative is simple: publishers fled GTA 6 and piled into September. A game-by-game look shows the pattern is real, but the evidence behind it is far more fragmented than the story suggests.

AI Can Control Fusion Plasma in Milliseconds — But It Can't Override the Safety Limits
Princeton's PACMAN framework can predict and prevent plasma instabilities in a tokamak roughly 200 milliseconds before they develop. The more important story isn't its speed: AI can be given real control over a machine without being allowed to change its physical safety limits.

25,000 Robotaxis Announced — but No Order Has Been Placed, No Money Has Changed Hands, and the Software Is Still Unclear
Lucid and Bolt have announced a partnership targeting at least 25,000 autonomous vehicles across Europe. The number is impressive, but the details are more measured: there is no binding vehicle order, the first model based on the underlying platform has been delayed until 2027, and the provider of the Level 4 driving software has not been disclosed.

AI Agents Can Now Control Devices in Your Home — but They Can't Unlock the Door
Google has opened its smart home ecosystem to third-party AI agents. The most interesting part isn't what it allows, but where it draws the line: agents can read the state of a smart lock, but unlocking the door is blocked at the server level.

Snap's new AR glasses are up for preorder. The specs it has revealed are interesting; the ones it hasn't may be even more important. Resolution, brightness, refresh rate, RAM, and battery capacity are still undisclosed — and one of those missing figures directly relates to an issue reviewers noticed in hands-on testing.

The U.S. House passed a bill aimed at preventing data center infrastructure costs from being shifted onto ordinary ratepayers by a 417–3 vote. A day later, an attempt to fast-track it through the Senate by unanimous consent was blocked. The numbers explain the broad agreement; the mechanism shows why the underlying problem is far from settled.

Benchmarks Aren't Enough: OpenAI Is Treating Model Misalignment Like Incident Reporting
OpenAI introduced a framework on September 16 for reporting model misalignment incidents and disclosed six cases. All six were observed during training. What matters may be less the incidents themselves than the reporting model OpenAI is beginning to adopt.

Did AI get depressed in Minecraft, or did we just want to see it that way?
