by

Behold! The latest innovation in crypto: AI agents, because nothing says “future” like handing your money to a robot that probably won’t even send you a thank-you note. TON’s blockchain ecosystem is now part of this grand experiment in digital finance, where humans are reduced to glorified babysitters. Recent launches from firms (read: desperate coders with too much caffeine) suggest the world is embracing “agentic AI” like it’s the last slice of pie at a funeral.

Guild Wars Reforged launches this summer for iOS and Android

by

So, I’m really excited about Guild Wars Reforged coming to mobile! They’ve totally reworked the UI and controls for touchscreens, and the game itself will be free to download on both phones and tablets. It’ll be supported by ads, but you can get rid of them by linking your ArenaNet account and buying the add-ons. They’re pretty affordable – the first one is $6.99 and lets you carry your progress over from other versions. If you want the Eye of the North and Bonus Mission Pack, those will cost $9.99 and $5.99 respectively. The best part? If you already own Guild Wars Reforged on PC or another platform, you can just log in and keep playing ad-free without spending any extra money. It’s awesome!

Polymarket’s Desperate Dance with the CFTC: A Tale of Second Chances and Stiff Penalties

by

Prediction market platform Polymarket, that master of regulatory brinkmanship, now treads cautiously toward the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), as if waltzing with a bureaucracy that has already scolded it once. According to Bloomberg, the platform dreams of launching a “fully regulated” exchange in the U.S., provided it survives the bureaucratic gauntlet. This is, of course, its second bid to charm American users after they were summarily booted in 2022 for playing fast and loose with registration forms.

Every John Singleton Movie, Ranked

by

John Singleton, a director who grew up in South Central Los Angeles and graduated from USC film school, was known for authentically portraying the lives of young Black people – a perspective rarely seen in mainstream cinema before his work. He was also a versatile filmmaker, skillfully incorporating elements from various genres like road movies (as seen in Poetic Justice), westerns (Rosewood), blaxploitation films (Shaft), and thrillers (Abduction). Though he tragically passed away seven years ago at the age of 51, his impact on film endures. This week, three of his most celebrated films – Boyz n the Hood, Poetic Justice, and Baby Boy – are being added to the Criterion Collection as his ‘Hood Trilogy,’ making it a fitting time to consider his complete filmography and how his nine features stack up against each other.
