The updated user agreement allows them to make a Nintendo device "permanently unusable". Next month, it is time for Switch 2 - Nintendo's next console, which is essentially a more powerful variant of their latest success. Prior to this, they have updated their user agreement and privacy policy, and one of the new points may probably be considered worth raising an eyebrow over. It is in the license section that Nintendo points out that one must not in any way circumvent, modify, decrypt, destroy or mix with Nintendo Account Services, and that Nintendo reserves the right to, among other things: "permanently make Nintendo Account Services and/or applicable. In other words, they "brick" a Nintendo console if they believe that the user has, for example, tinkered with the account service to be able to pirate or engage in anything else that Nintendo does not like. It is not uncommon that it is not possible to play with devices that have been tampered with, but making a console completely unusable is clearly a step further. It is unclear to what extent it will actually be used or whether it is even applicable to legislation in different parts of the world.

A fascinating and somewhat scary aspect of artificial intelligence is that nobody completely understands how it works. Perhaps for the first time in human history, we have invented technology we do not fully understand. Many people understand the basics; Machine learning, transformer model, calibration and training, but not why chat bots give the answers they give or why the models show special behaviors. A crucial difference between artificial intelligence and traditional programs is that AI gets its own abilities that appear, like knowledge of mathematics and programming. Common programs have specifically written functions, while AI learns from statistical patterns in data. Many have pointed out precisely the incomprehensibility of AI, including AI experts and Open AI CEO Sam Altman, who compared the unpredictability of artificial intelligence with the human brain. Most recently, Anthropic Manager Dario Amodei has pointed out that they do not understand their own creations, in a post on their blog. AI is still moving forward fast and it will be exciting (scary?) To see where we end up in five to ten years.

After only a week and despite Game Pass-releases. Boom! And then the world's worst preserved secret was finally released. And it went well, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered attracted four million players in just four days. The game is also on Game Pass, but despite this, the sales figures do not seem to slow down. Mat Piscatella from the analysis company Circana actually writes on Bluesky that the game already during its first week became the third best selling game in the US in terms of revenue, after Monster Hunter: Wilds and Assassin's Creed Shadows. And since then, it has been a week, so the figures are obviously even better now. The work on the game is not over, and now Bethesda wants to know what we want to see to make the remaster even better.
