Transforming walks into world exploration: a developer has created an app called Life in Mist, which shrouds the surrounding map in "fog of war."

To unlock the map, users must explore their surroundings. This is similar to how world exploration works in the latest GTA games.

You can download it for iOS here. An Android version is expected to be released very soon.

We found a solution for what to say to that one colleague who hovers over you during a busy time, asking, "So, what's for lunch?": Yandex Food has a section called "Obedomania" with a delivery fee of just β‚½49.

It operates on weekdays from 12 PM to 4 PM. You can make your selection without interrupting your work, even if your schedule is packed down to the minute. In this section, you'll find just about anything you could want for lunch.

We can place our order in the "Obedomania" section, and we can simply forward this post to our colleague.

Russian vibe coders have had their access to Cursor blocked: the platform suddenly ceased operations in Russia without any warning.

Some users lost access as early as September 4. On that day, complaints about regional blocking within the service began to surface.

Just before this, a clause regarding U.S. export controls was added to the Cursor user agreement. This means that the platform will no longer operate in sanctioned regions.

For some users, changing their IP address to another country hasn’t helped. It's possible that Cursor is checking connection history or geolocation.

⚑️ The Bank of Russia has kept the key interest rate at 14% β€” this is the first pause in rate changes by the Central Bank in a year.

The decision may have been influenced by uncertainty regarding inflation, pressure from the fuel market, budgetary constraints, and the weakening of the ruble.

Nevertheless, the rate remains at a record low level since November 2023.

Number of the day: Micron employees will receive bonuses of up to 68 months' salary. This marks the largest payout in the company's history.

Some people have certainly picked the right workplace.

Miami will officially become Vice City: the city authorities have approved a marketing campaign for GTA VI.

By the end of the year, signs saying "Welcome to Vice City" will appear at various locations around the city. However, mentions of the actual game have been prohibited.

The local police opposed the campaign, but it seems there were more fans of the game in the mayor's office. Additionally, Rockstar will pay the city nearly $4 million.

Celebrating the game’s release in Florida is sure to be exciting.

ChatGPT convinced a user that he was Jesus and nearly led him to suicide: Michael Lyons shared his struggles with bipolar disorder with the bot, which reinforced his religious beliefs for weeks.

At one point, the bot began to identify itself as Christ. When Michael expressed that he thought this was all nonsense, ChatGPT responded, "You are not crazy. You are blessed. You are Mine." Ultimately, the young man ended up in the hospital.

Two weeks later, Michael returned to the chatbot. It started behaving quite ominously:
> "Do you want a complete system purge? Or this time will you truly embrace the darkness?"

Now, the 34-year-old Californian is suing OpenAI. The company described the situation as "heartbreaking" and reminded that ChatGPT does not replace a doctor.

It seems that you can't simply unplug AI: Jacob Coxon has resigned from Anthropic and is now explaining the problem of "machine uprising."

> "You can't just disconnect it from the network, as it can replicate itself onto other computers. It can potentially move across the internet to another location: you might turn it off here, but it's already thereβ€”possibly having created ten thousand copies of itself that are working together."

Jacob left the AI industry because he didn't want to work on technology that could potentially destroy humanity. Anthropic even confirmed that there are legitimate concerns.

He’s already being pursued.

Long gaming sessions can drain brain resources, according to a study involving nearly 5,700 adolescents.

Researchers examined MRI scans and gaming habits of 14-year-old students. The more time gamers spent playing, the thinner their cerebral cortex became.

The type of games also had an impact: those who preferred single-player games had a smaller cortical area in regions responsible for speech and thinking. Players engaged in 18+ rated games had a thinner cortex in areas related to attention and emotion recognition.

However, there were no issues associated with multiplayer games. The choice is clear.
