(Bloomberg Opinion) -- Alphabet Inc.'s Google is racing to stuff its products with the most advanced artificial intelligence features, including some that will make you question everything you see and hear online.

Itsnew Pixel phonesmake it easy to manipulate photos, adding people who weren't in the original shot or movingtheir positions.

You'll be able to record phone calls, albeit with a disclosure tothe person on the other line, and get a detailed summary of the conversation.

These cool, if creepy, features point to a disconcerting direction that AI tools are taking us in as they get built into more phones.

The easier it is to manipulate the content we capture on our devices, the harder it'll be to trust what we see on them too.For the new Pixel 9 phones, which go on sale on Aug.

There May Be A Good Reason Hollow Knight: Silksong's Development Is Taking So Long (& The First Game Helps Prove It)
was announced with a trailer all the way back in 2019 and very little has been revealed by Team Cherry since. After the slow-burning success of the original in 2017, the title has become one of the most recognizable faces of the indie game scene. It also helped with a renaissance of the Metroidvania genre, spawning dozens of clones that have tried to capture the essence of a proper sequel, but no one can quite do it the same way Team Cherry did in 2017.

The Last Of Us Part II will require a PSN account to play on PC, making it unplayable in over 100 countries
One or two lumps of annoyance in your morning coffee? Okay, here's one. You'll need to link to a PlayStation Network account to play The Last Of Us Part II on PC, say Sony. The requirement was reported by Video Games Chronicle, and sure enough, the Steam page for the "Remastered" version of the third-person fungus fighter includes a footnote in the game description that confirms it in plain language - "Account for PlayStation Network required". For a lot of people this is a minor nuisance, for others it more likely means that the game won't be on sale in your country at all. Sony's reasons for enforcing the requirement remain obscure.

Please help, Warren Spector keeps emailing me about books
As a few of you might know, each Sunday at 4pm GMT I run Booked For The Week - a regular chat with a selection of cool industry folks about what they're reading, what they're hoping to read next, and what books they recommend. The very secret goal of the column is for the guests to name every book ever written. It's a task every single one has failed miserably at with two notable exceptions. One was Dan Griliopoulos, who listed 400 books in a document before he got bored and gave up - a heroic, if ultimately futile effort. The other was Warren Spector back in November, who not only gave me the longest and most detailed reply I'd had before or since, but also followed up several times to add more books to the list.

RGG ends Like A Dragon Direct by proudly announcing they won't charge for New Game+ this time, something most games don't do anyway
"Oh, and one last thing..." teased the narration for yesterday's Like A Dragon Direct showcase on Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii, before announcing that the RPG will be getting New Game+ mode as part of a free post-launch update. It then cut to Majima and his crew making celebratory noises on deck. This follows last year's Infinite Wealth catching some backlash for the decision to lock the mode behind a £15/€15/$15 edition upgrade.

Final Fantasy 14 communities panic as it turns out change to blacklisting, meant to help reduce stalking, also lets players use mods to track their alts
Final Fantasy 14 communities have been in a bit of a commotion lately—as a recent mod stepping into the limelight has exposed a vulnerability in the way Square Enix has handled its new-and-'improved' blacklist feature. In essence, this solution to the game's stalker problem has inadvertently made it very easy for ToS-violating (but currently untraceable) players to uncover all of their target's alternate characters.

TikTok's time in the US may be ticking to a close as it makes a last stand in the Supreme Court, though Trump now says he 'opposes banning' it
TikTok's lawyers will today appear before the US Supreme Court in a final attempt to prevent a ban of the platform. Last year the US Congress passed a law ordering that the social media company either be split from its Chinese owner, ByteDance, or blocked within the US entirely, with the rationale being that it can be used as a tool of political manipulation and espionage. TikTok disagrees, says it has been unfairly targeted, and any ban violates the free speech of its American userbase.

I tried a sim racing rig that generates 'wind' at CES 2025 and it's claimed to help keep VR nausea at bay
Sim racing can be a sweaty business. I dare say that's something I can write with experience, but perhaps no more. I went for a test drive in a sim rig over at CES 2025 from Nitro Concepts that included a set of blowers that kept me cool, and more importantly, plenty immersed while racing.
