Over the weekend, Intel announced the retirement of its CEO Pat Gelsinger who has been in the role since February 2021. While the company writes in a news release that the now-former CEO had a “distinguished 40-plus-year career and has stepped down from the board of directors,” a report suggests he wasn’t given the option to stay in the position. Bloomberg reports that Gelsinger was “given the option to retire or be removed, and chose to announce the end of his career at Intel.” They write their sources are people who have asked not to be identified because the proceedings weren’t made public. Two senior leaders, David Zinsner and Michelle (MJ) Johnston Holthaus, have been named as interim co-chief executive officers while Intel’s board of directors conducts a search for a new CEO. The board has formed a search committee to try and find a permanent successor to Gelsinger. Frank Yeary, the independent chair of the board, will become interim executive chair during the period of transition.

As technology advances, the jobs previously thought to have been low risk from automation and generative AI are now the most exposed according to a new report. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, (OECD) which works with over 100 countries to act as a global policy forum, has released a study looking at the geography of generative AI. Within the findings, it suggests “Generative AI has the potential to alter a significantly higher share of jobs in metropolitan regions” while technology-led automation has particularly affected non-metropolitan and manufacturing areas. “Exposure to generative AI is greater for high-skilled workers and women, while previous technology-led automation mainly affected low-skilled workers and men.” The actual job roles are not listed, but OECD explains that “Generative AI excels in doing cognitive, non-routine tasks, shifting regional labour market exposure, with regions concentrating industries such as education, ICT, or finance becoming most exposed to Generative AI.” #ArtificialIntelligence is reshaping daily life and revolutionising industries.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is one of those titles that brings together movie lovers and gamers alike.

Here, we’ll reveal how you can start playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle early so you can get to cracking that whip on all those that stand in your way of the treasure. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle early access explained Just like a lot of modern titles, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle does have an early access component that can be taken advantage of if you’re looking to play ahead of the ‘true’ release date. To secure Indiana Jones and the Great Circle early access, you will have to own the Premium Edition of the game which sets you back $99.99. If you’re a Game Pass subscriber, though, you get the base game for ‘free’ and you’re able to upgrade to the Premium edition for $34.99 which is a much lesser hit on the wallet. If you do choose to pick up the Premium Edition for early access, you’ll be able to play three days ahead of the official launch date for the game. This means you can boot it up on December 5 at 4 PM PT (7 PM ET), giving you the whole weekend to don the classic fedora-style hat and hand out some trademark Indy beatdowns. In addition to the early access component of the Premium Edition, you’ll also secure some extra goodies, potentially making it an even more attractive offering.

The first-person-shooter game, Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, is reportedly being targeted by a Russian disinformation operation. They’re claiming that the game scans players’ computers and geo-locates them on behalf of the Ukraine government in a bid to “locate citizens suitable for mobilization”.

The one-minute-long video, which falsely bears the Wired watermark, was being circulated on social media and directly emailed to different journalist websites in an attempt to generate disinformation surrounding Stalker 2.
