There’s no rule that says a dog can’t speedrun.

In about an hour, Peanut Butter, the shiba inu partner of speedrunner JSR_, will make his Games Done Quick debut running Gyromitean NES game that made use of Nintendo’s R.O.B accessory. This is the first time a dog has ever speedrun a game at the annual speedrunning charity event and it is sure to go down as one of the best runs of all time. Don’t miss it.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl has been delayed again.

GSC Game World announced today that it’s pushing Heart of Chornobyl back to September 5th to work out “certain technical imperfections.”

OpenAI’s GPT Store explicitly disallows GPTs “dedicated to fostering romantic companionship,” but a search of the store yields many custom chatbots doing just that.

First reported by Quartz, GPTs like “Virtual Sweetheart” (with 100+ chats so far), “Your Ex-Girlfriend Jessica” (200+ chats), and “Judy” (with more than 1,000 chats) are racking up a lot of users. Of course, this is nothing new. Both Replika and Character.ai encourage AI companionship through chatbots.
