    Check out the screenshots from EA in the below gallery. The new game is set to be a free-to-play title, and the development team has tried to be very transparent with how things are progressing with things like the screenshots and Thursday’s new “The Board Room” video.

    The New York Times may sue OpenAI.

    According to NPR, the two companies have been in talks over a potential licensing agreement, “but the discussions have become so contentious that the paper is now considering legal action.” The NYT recently updated its terms of service to prohibit using its content to train AI models.

    OpenAI is already mired in other lawsuits.

    Want to see the inside of the Galaxy Z Fold 5?

    iFixit just posted its video teardown — which includes throwing the phone in a bag with a bunch of bright green dust. The Z Fold 5 has an IPX8 rating, meaning it that it’s not rated for dust resistance, so you can imagine what happens with that bright green dust.

    You might see a new side panel in Chrome soon.

    9to5Google reports that the side panel will let you see Google Search results while you’re browsing the web on a main panel. Right now, the side panel lets you access things like your reading list, and it looks like you’ll still be able to get to that, too.

    The publication says it’s seeing the side panel on Chrome 116, but a couple of us at The Verge haven’t gotten it yet despite being up to date.

    X appears to be working on an ID verification system.

    If you really want to extra verify yourself, I guess that’s coming. Let’s hope it’s not a system that’s only available to X Premium subscribers, but since you already have to pay to be verified, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case.
