    Slack is launching AI-powered note-taking for your huddles.

    Could be handy, especially if you use a Slack huddle for a video call instead of Zoom, which can summarize meetings with AI, or Google Meet, which also has an AI-powered note-taking tool.

    Slack announced the feature as part of its news from Dreamforce 2024.

    Wizard of Legend 2, a Humble Games title, is launching soon in early access.

    The co-op roguelite will be available on October 3rd via Steam. I spoke with Amir Fassihi, studio director of Wizard of Legend 2 developer Dead Mage, for my article about how the recent Humble Games layoffs left indie studios in a state of uncertainty. I’m happy to see that the project now has an early access launch date.

    The iPhone 16 won’t come with stickers.

    Like with Apple’s newest iPads, Apple won’t include Apple logo stickers in the boxes of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro, 9to5Mac reports. You can apparently ask for a sticker when purchasing an iPhone 16 at an Apple Store, though.

    LinkedIn is coming to Steam.

    Valve is expanding what social media links developers can include on Steam pages, and after some research, even Valve is confused that LinkedIn made the cut. From an FAQ:

    Q. Why is LinkedIn on the list of social media links?

    A. We are also confused by the presence of LinkedIn in this list of links we found on game store pages. But the data don’t lie: developers are already referencing LinkedIn from their written descriptions, so we’ve included it as an option.

    Amazon joins C2PA.

    Adobe, Google, Microsoft, Meta, OpenAI, and more are also part of C2PA, which stands for the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity. The C2PA is behind a system to help trace the origins of images, which could be useful for identifying AI fakes, but it’s still in the early stages of adoption.
