As video games chase spectacle, Modern Warfare 4 makes a case for putting character and consequence at the heart of its biggest battles Don't get Pushing Buttons delivered to your inbox? Sign up hereIn these strange, subdued weeks before the much-anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto VI, there have still been some welcome surprises. Onimusha: Way of the Sword revived a half-forgotten samurai action series with much aplomb, while Silent Hill: Townfall transported all of the franchise's bloody, dread-filled psychological horror to ... the picturesque Scottish coast. Even more shocking to games writers, though, is the fact that the forthcoming Modern Warfare 4 has one of the best Call of Duty campaign modes for at least six years - and might even be up there with the original Modern Warfare trilogy.The setting is an invasion of South Korea by its northern neighbour - a setup that could have fuelled a hundred instantly forgettable Netflix films, but has proved controversial in a video game. The authoritarian regime has a new (fictitious) ruler and a powerful experimental weapon, which it's not afraid to use as the opening gambit in an explosive attack. You take on the role of Park Hyun Jun, a conscripted South Korean soldier who, along with his small unit of similarly inexperienced grunts, gets caught in the firestorm as cities burn and enemy paratroopers fill the skies.

Whether you want a colour screen, somewhere to scribble notes or a child-friendly model, here's what we recommend from Amazon's e-reader range The best e-readersFrom that fresh paperback smell to the wrinkles in the spine, nothing beats a real book. But if you're sick of the space they take up in your home, or the weight they steal from your holiday luggage allowance, it might be worth considering an Amazon Kindle. It can fit thousands of weighty reads into as little as 158g, and as tech goes, it's almost immune to the sort of pathological time-wasting features that come with modern phones and tablets.Amazon Kindles have been available in the UK for more than 15 years, so they're an old-school gadget at this point. But in 2024, the biggest update yet arrived: colour, which added an important extra option to the existing Kindle lineup, alongside readers for children, for note-taking and for tighter budgets.

Volunteers and new recruits come together for wikithon' to put more detail about industry into public domainAnyone can edit Wikipedia," the adage goes. But, it turns out, a relatively small number actually do.What is worthy of a digital page in the world's largest and most-read encyclopedia is decided by roughly 270,000 active volunteers, enthusiasts who populate the online resource with information on anything from 19th-century medicine to TikTok trends. Inevitably, some subjects are sidelined - the global south, notable women - but a new batch of Wikipedian recruits are waging war on one neglected topic: the arms industry.
Adriana Retyte took her own life after viewing high-risk' material on the video-sharing platform TikTokA 14-year-old schoolgirl's death after TikTok served her suicide content has prompted renewed calls for UK watchdogs to crack down on toxic" social media feeds.Adriana Retyte, a pupil at Langley school in Norfolk, took her own life after she viewed videos and images related to suicide on the video-sharing platform, according to a coroner who last week found her access to the material on TikTok may have played a significant part in her decision to take her life".

The midterms will be a referendum on the GOP's alignment with tech overlords over the public they're meant to serveWelcome back to How We Win, a Guardian opinion series with leading thinkers, offering bold ideas for America's political future. Last week, Robert Reich highlighted the link between corruption and affordability. Today's edition was written by Guardian US columnist Rebecca Solnit. Sign up for future editions here.The world should accept some bad things happening," Sam Altman, the head of OpenAI, said recently, for the benefits of this technology and people having the agency." Like so many things tech oligarchs say, it's incoherent, since Altman would like to deny the world and the people in it the agency to decide whether or not we should accept his bad things. Surveys show that most Americans would like to pause AI; opposition to AI datacenters is a factor in many races in the midterm elections. People are outraged and anxious about what tech hath wrought, mad enough to fight back in what is coming to seem like a human v machine battle. Continue reading...
Our dependence on internet services of a few key tech companies leaves us vulnerable to cloud failures, bugs and more, experts sayIt happened again.

Is your television listening to every conversation? Filling your home with highly invasive ads? Some viewers have had enough of tech violating their privacyWhen Dan had had enough of his television, he threw a rock straight through the screen. The offence? His smart TV was downloading its third update in three days. It drove me crazy with what seemed like daily software updates that never fixed anything and features' that never seemed to work," says the 71-year-old from Illinois. And of course, constantly trying to push me to subscribe to paid-for services when all I wanted to do was watch over-the-air TV, play a DVD or stream something from my computer."Some may accuse Dan of being a luddite, but his master's degree in computer science and decades of experience in telecommunications would suggest otherwise. The tech is not intimidating," he explains, just increasingly enshittified." Continue reading...

AI is increasingly getting good at doing some tasks, but it can never replace human workers' judgmentAutonomous cars, which may be the safest we have built, keep getting easily avoidable parking tickets. While Waymos crash far less often than human drivers over tens of millions of miles, they're still terrible at performing basic tasks - keeping out of disabled parking spots and tow-away zones, or steering clear of a church garage during Sunday service, according to the Wall Street Journal.That is the state of AI today: impressively capable at something complex, yet embarrassingly clumsy at something easy. And it has implications for what work will remain human and what will be automated by AI.Madhu Shashanka is co-founder, chief scientist and chief technology officer at Concentric AI, a data security software company Continue reading...
Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial news, as Google suffers a a major Cloud outage in its London regionThe pound has rallied after Britain's unemployment rate fell unexpectedly this morning to 4.7%.Sterling has gained half a cent against the US dollar to $1.3352, as the City welcomes the news that employment rose in the last quarter.This data has caught the market on the hop, with traders scrambling to respond and boost exposure to the pound. Good news has been a touch more prevalent for the UK of late, which is just the kind of framing the government needs heading into the budget, though signs of more resilience in the labour market do of course mean the BoE has more room to respond to higher inflation."The labour market remains relatively flat overall. This resilience in the face of headwinds driven by global events is welcome. But underlying problems remain, with around one million young people not in education, employment or training and overall employment more than two million short of the Government's 80% employment rate target.To fix those challenges we need to change the benefit system so it offers active help to all who need it, but also make it easier for employers to create jobs.

As a freaky Val Kilmer doppelganger stars in a new western and faux starlet Tilly Norwood is set for her feature debut, experts are split on whether mainstream adoption is a long way down the line - or just around the cornerDon't fear the dead - and don't fear me." An exact facsimile of a young Val Kilmer, not quite dead and not quite alive, utters that baiting line in the trailer for the new western As Deep as the Grave. Director Coerte Voorhees knows exactly what he is doing - this is an AI-created version of the late actor, approved by his family but bringing with it a heap of controversy about whether such technology could make flesh-and-blood thespians redundant.Not just yet, judging by the extended glimpse of the film released earlier this year: it looks like a thirtysomething Kilmer, if a robot version had been sent back to the 1920s American wilderness by Skynet and, as well as being strangely rigid, had forgotten to download his voice, let alone his signature air of spacey shrewdness. Kilmer's estate signed off on it, citing his enthusiasm for new technology that expands storytelling, but surely he would have been dismayed by this freaky doppelganger. Continue reading...

Great hardware let down by software flaws on these pricey machines that combine ChromeOS with AndroidGoogle's attempt to create a new type of laptop to compete with Windows and macOS machines is finally here, combining the best of ChromeOS and Android into the new Googlebook. With advanced links to Android phones and the best of Google built in, can these Googlebooks really compete with a MacBook Air or Surface Laptop? I took two for a spin to find out.For years, Chromebooks have been the boss of budget laptops, but Googlebooks take a different, far more premium approach. Made by a range of traditional PC makers, including Acer, Asus, Dell, HP and Lenovo, they start at 999 (1,099/$899/A$2,299) - a far cry from the 160 Chromebooks. Continue reading...
The government says it can transform the state with AI, but it is no match for the resulting stream of machine-generated slop. And we all pay the costAnother morning, another avalanche of emails. Even after a guilty cull, my inbox is sitting at well over 7,000, but lately I've started subscribing to the Quentin Crisp theory of housework: why bother, when after four years or so you stop noticing the accumulating dust? Empty inboxes just fill up again anyway.In theory, email was supposed to save hours of meetings, phone calls and standing over photocopiers. Instead, we just spend hours deleting stuff people wouldn't have bothered telling us if it had meant picking up the phone, but which they can now spam to their entire database at the click of a button. The glorious ease and convenience of being able to reach the world in seconds came, we now know, with the inconvenience of them being able to reach you right back.Gaby Hinsliff is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

I'd become obsessed with appealing to my invisible audience. But since I ditched the app a year ago, my quieter moments have taken on brilliant new meaningI first downloaded Instagram when I was 17 and became hooked on it the way most people fall in love: slowly, and then all at once. For a long time, I never considered myself a social media addict. I self-righteously refused to download TikTok, declared Snapchat to be for children", and posted less regularly on Instagram than half of the people I followed.As I went through my university years, however, certain changes crept up on me. I began to swap reading - or essay-writing - for hours spent curating new posts. On my way home from lectures (or later, from my work as a journalist), I would spend ages trying to take the artsiest, most perfect picture of that evening's sunset for my story - as if the people who followed me were eagerly awaiting yet another photo of one of the Earth's rotations. What usually followed was a night of reloading my feed to see how many people had reacted to my post - or worse, hadn't reacted at all. Continue reading...
Backlash against content creators includes restricted hours for filming and even outright bansStand in any vaguely photogenic spot these days on holiday and the chances are you will come across people posing with raised phones and even ring lights.

Wikipedia's 68m articles have been consulted trillions of times. Not bad for a website that has barely changed since it was founded 20 years agoA few years ago, I was struck by the tension between how Wikipedia was used, and how it was talked about. Everyone was on it all the time, and yet its reputation had stalled at don't trust it", because it was the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit".Clearly people were trusting it, so much so it had become part of the fabric of everyday life since it was founded by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger in 2001. But despite the fact it now has been consulted trillions of times by billions of people (English Wikipedia alone is 5.2bn words long), it inspires an odd lack of curiosity. Even people donating to Wikipedia might say the money was for the factcheckers", though there aren't any - not paid ones, anyway. Meanwhile, the internet in the social media era had begun to feel like a much uglier place, and some digital nostalgia was setting in: here was this holdover that had somehow survived; a website that functions - and even looks - much the same as it did 20 years ago.

The tech company says successful AI worms need more capability on less powerful devices, but current trends make that feasible by the end of the yearWarnings about what artificial intelligence might do in the future - together with alarming reports of what it has gotten up to already - are being issued so quickly that even security experts have difficulty triaging what to worry about.Yet a report this week from Anthropic's offensive research team grabbed attention by describing a new, practical threat, one devoid of human characteristics or apocalyptic musings. The red team, as such internal testers are called, said it created a malicious AI program that spread autonomously through internet-connected smart" televisions and could do the same inside other ordinary devices. While machines running AI usually need a fair amount of computing power, the researchers said that their program split parts of itself among 15 televisions and was still able to function by using a bit of power from each.

A modern-day prospector promised rural Imperial thousands of jobs and millions in tax revenue - but his plan has set off a firestorm of resistanceSebastian Rucci zoomed in on a map in late 2024, looking closely at a large block of brown earth. The barren plot sandwiched between sprawling alfalfa fields and sleepy desert suburbs was exactly what he'd been searching for - the perfect place to realize his dream of building the largest artificial intelligence datacenter in California.The dusty expanse wasn't an obvious location. It was in the Sonoran desert, just north of the Mexican border, where temperatures regularly rose past 100F (37.8C). Water was scarce in the once-booming agricultural area, which gets its supply from the beleaguered Colorado River. And then, there was the city of Imperial - population 22,000 - to win over. As controversial datacenter projects have sprung up across the US, residents were naturally skeptical of a new, energy-guzzling neighbor. Continue reading...
