Bethesda has confirmed that the full launch of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will not include Denuvo DRM technology. After an update on the Steam backend appeared to indicate that Denuvo had been added to Indy's new adventure at the last minute, publisher Bethesda has publicly put the rumor to rest. An early build of the game did use the anti-tamper technology, but that was to prevent leaks ahead of launch.

From smartphones to wearables to the smart home, it seemed every tech company wanted to pitch their next great AI innovation. The year was filled with impressive technological leaps and useful new tools, endless hype and frequent misfires, and implications for the future that range from truly exciting to unpredictable. This is the year we got a sense of what AI might actually do — and just how unprepared we still are to grapple with it. Here at The Verge, we thought a lot about AI’s impacts on the industries and people we cover. From strikes across industries like gaming to its impact on our climate to the desire for policy protections for Hollywood and the AI Act, AI is already reshaping nearly every area of our lives. So let’s take a look back at some of the biggest, boldest, weirdest AI stories from the last year — and look ahead to what could be in store for 2025. Read the full story at The Verge.

Image: The Verge A misinformation expert accused of using AI to generate a legal document admitted he used ChatGPT to help him organize his citations, leading to “hallucinations” that critics said called the entire filing into question. Jeff Hancock, the founder of the Stanford Social Media Lab who wrote the document, says the errors don’t change the “substantive points in the declaration.” Hancock submitted the affidavit in support of Minnesota’s “Use of Deep Fake Technology to Influence an Election” law, which is being challenged in federal court by Christopher Khols — a conservative YouTuber who posts under the name Mr Reagan — and Minnesota state Rep. Mary Franson. After discovering that Hancock’s filing seemed to contain citations that didn’t exist, attorneys for Khols and Franson said it was “unreliable” and asked that it be excluded from consideration. In a subsequent declaration filed late last week, Hancock acknowledged that he used ChatGPT to draft the declaration but denies he used it to write anything. “I wrote and reviewed the substance of the declaration, and I stand firmly behind each of the claims made in it, all of which are supported by the most recent scholarly research in the field and reflect my opinion as an expert regarding the impact of AI technology on misinformation and its societal effects,” Hancock wrote. As for the citation errors, Hancock explained that he used Google Scholar and GPT-4o “to identify articles that were likely to be relevant to the declaration so that I could merge that which I knew already with new scholarship.” Hancock says he used GPT-4o to create a citation list, not to write the document, and didn’t realize the tool generated “two citation errors, popularly referred to as ‘hallucinations’” and added incorrect authors to another citation. “I did not intend to mislead the Court or counsel,” Hancock wrote in his most recent filing. “I express my sincere regret for any confusion this may have caused. That said, I stand firmly behind all the substantive points in the declaration.”

Image: The Verge ChatGPT now has over 300 million people using the AI chatbot each week. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed the milestone during The New York Times’ DealBook Summit on Wednesday, which comes just months after ChatGPT hit 200 million weekly users in August. “Our product has scaled ... now we have more than 300 million weekly active users,” Altman said. “We have users sending more than 1 billion messages per day to ChatGPT.” ChatGPT has grown rapidly since its launch in 2022 as OpenAI continues to add more capabilities, such as its AI search engine that surfaces and summarizes results from across the web (though they may not always be accurate), and a new “Canvas” interface that lets users more easily adjust code written by the chatbot. Apple is also building ChatGPT directly into Siri as part of iOS 18.2, which is now available in beta and is poised to help the chatbot reach even more users.

Sunrise/Khara There’s a new Mobile Suit Gundam show right around the corner, and while Bandai hasn’t revealed much about its story, its production studio and creative team bode very good things for the project. Sunrise has collaborated with Khara, the Hideaki Anno-founded studio behind the Rebuild of Evangelion films, to produce Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, a new series co-written by Anno and Yōji Enokido, and directed by Kazyua Tsurumaki. Set in a reality where humanity has taken to living in massive space colonies, GQuuuuuuX follows as highschooler Yuzuriha “Machu” Amate (Tomoyo Kurosaw) and courier Nyaan (Yui Ishikawa) are drawn into the world of underground mech fights called Clan Battles. A new trailer for the series teases how, after meeting Gundam pilot Shuji Ito (Shimba Tsuchiya), Machu learns to co-pilot the gMS-Ω GQuuuuuuX. Designer Take’s (best known for her work on the Pokémon franchise) distinctive style shines through in the trailer’s shots of the show’s human characters, and mechanical designer Ikuto Yamashita’s take on the classic Gundam aesthetic feels fresh. Though Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX is set to air on Nippon Television in the new year, the series does not yet have a concrete premiere date. But ahead of its TV debut, a theatrical cut of some of its episodes will screen in Japanese theaters on January 17th.
