Will PS5 exclusives become a thing of the past? The AnyPS5 project is actively being developed on GitHub, aimed at running Sony games on PC. The most interesting part is that it's not an emulator.
It works similarly to Proton on the Steam Deck, which allows Windows games to run on Linux. Essentially, AnyPS5 modifies game files for PC, so, unlike emulators, everything should run more smoothly.
So far, only one game has been fully operationalβ the platformer Dreaming Sarah, which achieves 60 FPS even on an old GTX 1050 Ti.
The project has successfully deconstructed 100% of the PS5 graphics, and about 95-97% of the console's core system functions have been rewritten.

Anthropic and OpenAI are preparing for a major "AI disaster": developers of neural networks are working through scenarios where society and authorities turn against them.
Insiders at Axios suggest that the most likely scenario is a global cyberattack, which could disrupt banking services, the internet, and even public utilities. Such a crisis is predicted to occur within the next 6 to 12 months.
Following this, there may be attempts to ban AI or freeze its development. As a result, companies are already collaborating with politicians to influence future legislation.

A subscription to Adobe is no longer necessary: a Reddit user has created a Lightroom alternative called "na vibe." We checked it out, and it shows potential as a viable alternative.
