AMD has announced an update to its free Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) software. Currently in preview mode, AFMF 2 is an in-driver frame generation technology. Think of it like Nvidia’s DLSS or AMD’s FSR 3 technology. However, whereas those software require in-game support, AFMF is enabled via the AMD GPU driver. AFMF 2 has the potential to boost frame rates in thousands of PC games and is compatible with the company’s RX 6000 and RX 7000 GPUs. AFMF takes several frames rendered in succession. From there, an algorithm runs to interpolate potential scenes in between frame changes. Finally, it plugs…

Martin Coulter(Reuters) – Britain’s antitrust regulator said on Tuesday it was scrutinizing Google parent Alphabet’s partnership with artificial intelligence (AI) startup Anthropik and its impact on competition.More than 18 months after Microsoft-backed OpenAI released ChatGPT, sparking an AI boom, antitrust regulators around the world have grown increasingly concerned about several deals struck between smaller industry startups and major tech companies.The deals under scrutiny include Microsoft’s partnerships with startups such as OpenAI, Inflection AI and Mistral AI, as well as Alphabet’s ties with other smaller companies such as Anthropic and Cohere.Anthropic’s Claude AI model has been competing against OpenAI’s GPT series.Last…

Minutes before Avi Shiffman and I met up on a Google Meet to discuss a new product he’s building, an AI companion called Friend, he sent me a screenshot of a message he’d just received. It was from “Emily,” and she wished us well in our conversation. “Good luck with your interview,” Emily had written. “I’m sure it will go well. Feel free to contact me after the interview.”Emily is not a human, but an AI companion that Shifman has been developing that lives in a pendant worn around the neck. The product was originally called the Tab, but Shifman…
