OpenAI is hosting its first developer conference in November.
OpenAI DevDay takes place on November 6th. “The one-day event will bring hundreds of developers from around the world together with the team at OpenAI to preview new tools and exchange ideas,” OpenAI writes. There’s an in-person component, but the company will livestream its keynote.
The company says that “over 2 million developers” use GPT-4, GPT 3.5, DALL-E, and Whisper for “a wide range of use cases.”

Support Tumblr, get a badge.
The platform is offering new “Supporter” subscriptions, and depending on what you pay and how long you pay it, you’ll get an increasingly-fancier badge. “Part of a move towards a more user-led business model, this is a new auto-renewable subscription that allows you to wear your support of Tumblr in style,” Tumblr writes.
You can also still buy blue checkmarks, if you want to do that.

Steam is going to make it easier to find which PC games support PlayStation controllers.
Developers can now specify if their games support PS4 or PS5 controllers, and beginning in October, you’ll be able to see in the Steam store and in the Steam desktop app if a game works well with those gamepads.
The PS5’s DualSense is maybe my favorite controller ever, so I’m really happy about this.

Two men have been charged with felony theft for allegedly stealing Magic cards from Gen Con.
Polygon has the story, including details from an affidavit. (“The affidavit even includes a photo of the car the men left in, a 2023 Nissan Murano, driving in Indiana with the cardboard boxes visible in the trunk of the car.”) They could go to prison for up to six years if they are found guilty.
