Rockstar began a special screening of GTA VI, but Netflix couldn't handle the influx of users and crashed right at the start of the stream.
Everything is working fine on TVs and consoles. Today, they promise to showcase 26 minutes of gameplay β the largest demo in the studio's history.
Update: The stream has been quickly fixed, and you can watch it on YouTube.

Here's what was showcased in the first demo of GTA VI:
- The action in the game feels more akin to Red Dead Redemption 2. Gunfights seem more realistic, and characters move with a "heavier" feel compared to GTA V.
- The cinematic presentation is still very much present. They showed a couple of story missions featuring movie-like cutscenes and an epic police chase.
- The police pursuit system will feature six stars. Players will be identified based on their vehicle, the presence of witnesses, their appearance, and clothingβall of which will be highlighted in the interface.
- In addition to the usual vehicles, players can even navigate through the streets of Leonida using kayaks.
- There will be a system for robbing stores outside of missions. Heists can be carried out solo or with both main characters.
- The heroes' hideouts will offer a lot of interactivity; for example, players can rummage through the fridge and grab a beer.
- Parachute jumps from GTA: San Andreas are making a return.

We're assembling the board of directors on a laptop: we've found an open-source AI executive manager called OpenExecutive.
It distributes requests among the strategist, finance expert, lawyer, HR, operations, marketing, and product teams. It remembers past decisions, reads company documents, and reminds us of tasks.
It works with Claude, OpenRouter, and local models. It can be integrated into Slack, Discord, Telegram, terminals, and browsers.

Number of the day: The meme-worthy RoboDuck generated $2.6 million in sales for Hugging Face in just one day.

We're teaching AI to write less like an AI: a new skill called Sepia has been developed for Claude Code, Codex, and other agents, which improves the structure of text.
Sepia removes overly polished narratives, overly explained topics, and formulaic emotions, and only then adjusts the vocabulary. There are separate guidelines for work documents such as release notes, PRs, post-mortems, tickets, and articles.
The developer based this on recent research which found that AI-generated prose can be identified by its structure in 93.2% of cases, and simply cleaning up "robotic style" doesnβt help much.

Two passenger planes flew directly over the roof of a stadium in Cape Town. The video of the maneuver has been going viral for the past day.
The local airline decided to promote its services in this way. Meanwhile, a rugby match was taking place at the stadium, and no one warned the spectators.
At the moment of the flyover, there was only 12 meters between the stadium and the planes. We envy those who happened to be on the roof at that time.
