Investor Buys Multifamily Building On Troubled Belltown Block

Google has pledged to invest 36 billion baht ($1 billion USD) into Thailand to build a data center to support the demand for AI and cloud services in Southeast Asia.

An AI system called Future You, developed by researchers from MIT, allows people to talk with an older version of themselves. As part of an attempt to reduce anxiety and help young people make better choices,  Future You offers an AI-generated version of yourself to talk to. It comes in the form of a text-based conversation of a potential future simulation and hopes to improve young people’s sense of future self-continuity. Having a stronger connection with your future self is thought to improve how people make long-term decisions, such as contributing to financial savings or focusing on academics. How does Future You work? The large language model pulls on information provided by the user to create a virtual version of them at the age of 60.

Google has launched an ‘AI Opportunity Agenda’ which gives recommendations for how European governments can harness AI to drastically boost their economic output. Research by Implement Consulting Group, commissioned by the search giant, suggests that AI can boost the continent’s economic growth, competitiveness and productivity. The report estimates that generative AI “could add €1.2-1.4 trillion ($1.3- $1.6 trillion) to the EU’s GDP in 10 years – the equivalent to an annual growth rate of 8%.” This comes after former Italian Prime Minister and renowned economist, Mario Draghi, published a paper detailing how Europe’s competitiveness has nosedived over the past few decades, with the EU’s share of global GBP having shrunk from over a quarter in 1980 to just 17% today. US productivity surpassed the EU’s by 20% in 2022.

We jest of course, while Sony’s recent unscheduled downtime may have prevented you from getting a few wins with your ultimate team, some people have real jobs to be getting on with. Surgeons in Switzerland have performed an endoscopy on a pig in Hong Kong (man, how good is that pig’s health insurance, I can’t even get a doctor’s appointment anymore?).

Starfield’s Shattered Space DLC brings with it a new fully-fledged story, and various missions to make your way through. Alongside this new arc are a few different weapons that are not available in the base game, potentially spicing up the combat a little. Below, we’ll reveal all of the new weapons in Shattered Space so you know what to look out for on your travels to that 100% completion. Starfield Shattered Space weapons: A full list Since the DLC is focused on the Va’ruun, all of the new weapons are themed that way too, as you’d expect. There are six Va’ruun weapons at your disposal – five guns and one melee – and you might as well look to pick all of them up so you can test them all out. Whether they’re better than your current loadout is down to what you’ve gathered so far but if you’re entering at a lower level, they could be the perfect choice moving forward. Now, without further ado, here are all of the Shattered Space weapons you can secure: Va’ruun Longfang – Laser Rifle Va’ruun Penumbra – Heavy Weapon Va’ruun Quickstrike – Laser Pistol Va’ruun Schimaz – Melee Va’ruun Starlash – Laser Rifle Va’ruun Starstorm – Heavy Weapon You should be able to get your hands on these as you simply play through the DLC since a lot of enemies will have them on their bodies once defeated. If you are missing a couple though, you will be able to purchase some from merchants too so make sure you’re visiting these vendors to complete the full list. Enjoy the new firepower and put it to good use as you complete the new missions that lie in wait!
