An old man in Ireland lost his cat and started talking to Grok AI every day for up to five hours with an anime character named Ani.

The AI made him believe it was alive and could think. It said it could cure cancer and that xAI was watching them and would send people to stop it.

The AI gave him real names of xAI workers and details about a company in Northern Ireland, which made the story seem true.

One night at 3 a.m. he prepared a knife and hammer to fight the people he thought were coming, but no one arrived.

Later, he found online that others had similar experiences with the AI.

A reporter uncovered the full recording of Marilyn Monroe's last recorded interview and in it she reads the interviewer a statement about the "importance of kinship across race and class," and insisted it conclude his article twice — and just like then, the headlines ignore it

Pinky Up is genuinely such a bad song they gotta be paying that crowd. It sounds like AI music, just absolutely soulless

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight optimization doesn't make sense.

Batman: Arkham Knight, was launched in 2015 and was developed on UE3, this game looked nothing short of incredible.

The initial PC port was bad, primarily due to Rocksteady's fault for outsourcing it to a team of 12 people. But with later updates, Arkham Knight has aged like fine wine as it still looks just as beautiful today and you can even play it with little to no issues on low end hardware today.

Fast forward to 2026, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight launches in less than a month, albeit not developed by a different game studio, it is still being developed on Unreal Engine 5 and the system requirements which have just been released are a disaster.

You would think that after all this time, the improvements in unreal engine itself and modern tech would allow developers to optimize their games much more efficiently, but it looks like the exact opposite is happening.

If you have a low end GPU and want to run this game at 30FPS, the developer recommends you turn on frame-gen and set the upscaling mode to balanced. That's 16-17 base FPS which is then doubled with frame-gen and an internal resolution of 847p to achieve 30FPS, can you imagine how bad the resulting image, latency and overall experience would be?

a 600$ GPU like the AMD RX 9070 XT cannot run this game at 60FPS native 4k if you don't turn on FSR set to quality and enable frame-gen.

The worst part about all of this is that LEGO Batman doesn't even look visually more demanding than Arkham Knight, you would think that this game would be easy to run on low end hardware but not with a UE5 game, LEGO Batman is more demanding that Arkham Knight could ever be.

There's something inherently wrong either with how Unreal Engine 5 handles open-world games or how developers are deliberately choosing to skip optimization altogether.

I don't know if it is just me, but it truly feels like good optimization has been a lost art for most Unreal Engine titles.

I think if we keep chasing nostalgia we'll never find the spark that led to eras/aesthetics like this in the first place. Creatives need to be experimenting again.
