    Former Tesla AI boss Andrej Karpathy is joining Anthropic.

    Karpathy, who had also been on the founding team of OpenAI, says he will be working on R&D at Anthropic. Previously, he had been working on “new kind of school that is AI native,” and he says he’s still “deeply passionate about education” and plans to go back to it “in time.”

    A screenshot of an X post from Andrej Karpathy. It says: “Personal update: I’ve joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.”

    Nintendo’s new mobile game mixes WarioWare with your own photos.

    Pictonico!, launching on iOS and Android on May 28th, looks very weird, but I do think dropping your friends into WarioWare-style minigames could be a recipe for something great.

    The game will be free to start with a “demo of some minigames,” according to the App Store listing, and it will have two “volumes” of games you can buy: one for $7.99 and one for $5.99.

    It’s XBOX now, apparently.

    Earlier this week, Xbox boss Asha Sharma posted a poll asking “Xbox or XBOX?” A few minutes ago, she tweeted a picture of the Xbox profile on X with all-caps branding. I don’t like it.

    The SGDQ 2026 schedule is out.

    This year’s Summer Games Done Quick has an excellent lineup, with promising runs featuring a Wind Waker co-op randomizer, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 as the closer, and, uh, a mod that puts Half-Life mechanics into Jak and Daxter.

    The event kicks off at 12PM ET on July 5th, and it’s scheduled to end on July 11th.

    OpenClaw now works better with OpenAI models and Codex.

    As part of a new release, “your ChatGPT subscription can now power an OpenClaw agent that feels much closer to the model it is built on,” OpenAI’s Nik Pash says in a blog post.

    The OpenClaw team has also been working “really hard on performance, reliability, security, and stability,” according to OpenClaw founder (and OpenAI employee) Peter Steinberger.
