    OpenAI is offering ten $100,000 grants for “building prototypes of a democratic process for steering AI.”

    I’ll let OpenAI explain it:

    We are seeking teams from across the world to develop proof-of-concepts for a democratic process that could answer questions about what rules AI systems should follow. We want to learn from these experiments, and use them as the basis for a more global, and more ambitious process going forward.

    If you want to apply, you’ve got about a month.

    I visit Twitch nearly every day, and somehow I didn’t know about Turbo until I had to write about it today.

    And it wasn’t the best introduction — the subscription, which removes most ads, is getting more expensive! But you might be hearing more about Turbo soon, as the company promises that new features are on the way.

    Two great indie puzzle games are now on Switch.

    Point-and-click puzzler The Case of the Golden Idol (plus its expansion) and first-person puzzler Maquette both launched on Switch on Thursday. If you’re looking for some new puzzles after solving all of the shrines in Tears of the Kingdom, these games should have you covered.

    A Chicken McNugget-shaped Tetris handheld.

    It’s a real thing. Go read Gizmodo’s great story about this incredible gadget and watch somebody’s unboxing video. The device plays the Tetris song!

    Rode’s Streamer X combines an audio interface and a video capture card into one unit.

    Also, there are four pads you can customize for things like sound effects or voice changers. At $400, it’s a little spendy, but it could be a handy gadget for a streamer looking to easily upgrade their setup.
