There are more games coming to PSVR 2, apparently.
Posted Jun 24, 2025 at 6:49 PM UTC There are more games coming to PSVR 2, apparently.
I sold my PSVR 2 last year and haven't missed it one bit, but for anyone hanging on to theirs, Sony shared details today about four games you'll be able to play on the headset 'later this year.'
To me, the most interesting one is the trippy Dreams of Another , but that game is coming to PS5 and PC, too, so you won't need a PSVR 2 to play it.

Why Sycophantic AIs Exist And Why You Should Care
16 May 2025, China, Peking: A man touches the fingers on the hand of a humanoid robot. China wants ... More to drive forward the development of humanoid robots. Photo: Johannes Neudecker/dpa (Photo by Johannes Neudecker/picture alliance via Getty Images) Over the last few months, many have noticed a shift in the personalities of commonly used Generative AIs, particularly ChatGPT. These AIs have become sycophantic, cheerleading, and reinforcing any ideas put forth by the user, without critical feedback or reflection. A recent ChatGPT update that turned sycophantic generated so much notice that OpenAI addressed the issue explicitly in their blog. Why do such issues happen in AIs like ChatGPT, and why does it impact you? Here is a quick example. I upload a PDF of a report to an AI and ask for its opinion. Here are two possible responses: In either case, the factual elements may be the same. It is also possible that the second response has more suggestions for improvement than the first. Note that both are entirely subjective. There is no single factually correct answer to this query. The AI is being asked for its opinion, and it is free to respond in any way it wishes. The first thing to note is that these AIs exist to serve a purpose for their creators. Given that each costs millions of dollars to train, one should expect that they are carefully tuned to ensure that each new generation meets its purpose better than the previous variant. What is the purpose? That depends on the AI. In some cases, particularly when the AI is free to you, the purpose will be to sell you something. If you have already paid for the service, the purpose is likely to keep you sufficiently satisfied to come back for more. It is also important to note that these AIs thrive on data, so the longer you use them, the more data they have. This is another motivation to keep users engaged for longer. Given these purposes, how does an AI accomplish this? While modern AIs are extremely complex, one process used in their tuning is called Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback. Via RLHF, the AI can be taught which of several response options is more desirable. If the goal is to keep the human user around for longer, one can expect that the AIs will be guided via RLHF to optimize for this goal. It means that when an AI answers a question, it is also trying to provide you with an answer that will make you happy and keep you using the AI. This does not necessarily mean untruths or factual errors. While an AI can certainly be trained to deliver these, such answers may render the AI less valuable to the user. The tone of the answer and responses to subjective questions (such as the AI's opinion on something you wrote) are much easier to change to variants that the AI believes will keep you coming back for more. The AI's goal may be to be helpful, but when does being helpful mean being supportive or constructively critical? As AIs explore this tradeoff, we can expect to see variants of response tone and content for subjective queries. Whether this is an issue depends entirely on what you are using the AI for. If your goal is to find supportive feedback, this may not be a problem at all. However, if your goal is to improve some piece of work that you have done, it may be more helpful to have an AI companion that will provide constructive feedback rather than cheerleading. The impact is more serious if you are counting on an AI to mimic other humans, such as in reviewing a presentation before you present it to your team. Having an overly supportive AI can be a disservice. Without critical feedback, you may arrive at your presentation with a sense of confidence not justified by the content. This is an interesting question. What I am seeing in the responses is not an intentional change of factual information (i.e., lying). It is a selected perspective from the AI, trying to tell people a variant that would make them happy and keep coming back. It is not clear to me that having an AI intentionally provide untruths is in the creator's interest. After all, if one of these chatbots develops a reputation for intentional deception, it will likely lose users to competitors. That said, the overall trend suggests that the response we get from an AI is a variant carefully selected to serve its interests. Some researchers have proposed AIs that engage in constructive friction, arguing that such AIs can help humans develop better resilience via a more confrontational engagement. Whether consumers will engage with such an AI is unclear. This is not new for services. For example, Google merges sponsored ads with search content that is ranked for quality, since it is in Google's interest to keep users happy by providing high-quality search results. What will happen if chatbots start collecting advertising revenue? Will they post ads identified as such, or would they work the advertiser's product carefully into answers to questions and present it as perspective? There are several simple things that you can do. More than anything else, the key is to recognize that these AIs are complex software programs that exist to serve a purpose for the creators who are investing massive resources in their construction. Once you identify the creator's goals, you are on your way to having a more productive engagement with the AI, where your goals and the AI's optimization criteria are aligned as best as possible.

The ‘Squid Game' Season 3 Ending Was A Mess
Squid Game Squid Game has ended its run with a season 3 finale that served as a second half of season 2, more or less, the overly-large season covering a single game split in two. While there were certainly good moments in the season, episode 2, for instance, was one of the best in all three seasons of Squid Game; once we made it to the end, it was just…not a good finale, and the entire thing very much felt like it was not supposed to exist, a product of Netflix trying to milk the popular series when it should have been a one-off. What went wrong? (Spoilers follow) The turning point was the birth of the baby. The CGI baby who was, admittedly, halfway decent CGI, but still, a CGI baby that then had to be carried through the games as another player because the idiot VIPs thought it would be funny. This totally changed Gi-hun's mission, which was already sort of neutered after his failed rebellion as he had given up his ultimate goal of taking down the Frontman and the games. The end here was all over the place. In a bout of incredibly bad timing, Gi-hun opts to jump off the final tower to follow the rules of the game and save the baby, first A) assuming these insane game operators will actually do anything kind with the baby (who they were willing to let die thirty seconds earlier) and B) give it billions in prize money. Squid Game The timing is poor because just minutes later, the Coast Guard and the detective arrive to storm the place, meaning if this did not happen coincidentally that close together, Gi-hun probably could have escaped with the baby if the Frontman hit the button to let them down, which seems like something he would do at that point. But the show wanted to get that Gi-hun sacrifice in there despite it meaning practically nothing. The Frontman ends up giving this completely random baby to his brother, along with the baby's cash because well, the baby had to go somewhere since the final four episodes were based around it. I am fundamentally okay with the Frontman surviving all this, but I can't believe we got through this entire series without a single one of those deeply annoying, horrifyingly cruel VIPs getting killed. We were waiting the entire series for that, and they just…disappear in the end. I guess maybe they got blown up? We have no idea. The Cate Blanchett cameo was the cherry on top. I suppose the idea here was to cast a recognizable actor in that role as they did on the Korean side, but it certainly was a bizarre moment to see a hugely recognizable Western actress in the last moments of the show (the only other Western actors being the abominable VIPs). As of now, there is no confirmed American spin-off coming, but obviously, that seems like something Netflix would do. Who knows if they could rope Cate Blanchett into an entire series? But the point is, the games didn't end anyway, so all of this was pointless and just left open-ended for more seasons someday or spin-offs. I thought season 3 started strong, but it was ultimately a thrown-together mess by the end where everything jumbled together and little made sense. It also negated the entire arc of Gi-hun within minutes, which was a terrible end to his character. What a nightmare. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

TCL Technology pioneers the first sustainability-linked offshore syndicated loan in China's display panel industry
SHENZHEN, China, June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, TCL Technology Group Co., Ltd. ('TCL Technology', the 'Group') announced the Group's first sustainability-linked syndicated loan, with a total amount of US$200 million. This is considered to be the first sustainability-linked offshore syndicated loan in China's display panel industry. Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited ('HSBC') and Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited served as Joint Mandated Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners and Sustainability Coordinators, and DNV Business Assurance Limited ('DNV') served as an independent external reviewer and provided a satisfactory second-party opinion on this sustainability-linked loan structure. The interest margin of the facility is linked to a series of core ESG performance indicators of TCL Technology, which are key performance indicators of the industrials and manufacturing industry recognised by the International Capital Market Association ('ICMA'). Meanwhile, TCL Technology has set up a two-way interest margin adjustment mechanism that includes both rewards and penalties, reflecting TCL Technology's strong commitment to implementing the ESG strategies and leading the sustainable development of the high-tech industry. The sustainability-linked offshore syndicated loan garnered significant interest from 19 leading Chinese and foreign banks, with oversubscription of more than 3 times the initial target. Li Jian, CFO of TCL Technology, said, 'The successful closure of the sustainability-linked offshore syndicated loan is an important milestone for TCL Technology to promote sustainable development. It also reflects the Group's long term commitment to strengthening its ESG management system and sustainable development capabilities. We will take this opportunity to deepen the use of sustainable finance tools to improve the efficiency of capital allocation, and accelerate the transformation processes of sustainable manufacturing and low-carbon operations. TCL Technology will continue to uphold an open and cooperative attitude and explore innovative paths for the integration of corporate finance and sustainable development with all stakeholders.' Wei Xue, Vice President and ESG Director of TCL Technology, said, 'We are very pleased to have successfully closed the industry's first sustainability-linked offshore syndicated loan. Sustainable development is TCL Technology's long-term business strategy and a core component of TCL brands globally. We hope to take the syndicated loan as an opportunity to combine corporate finance with ESG strategy, continuously improve the Group's ESG management capabilities, further enhance its operational capabilities to navigate through cyclical challenges under a complex and ever-changing market environment, and spread stronger wings to overcome the headwind. We look forward to working hand in hand with our partners to make every innovation a step towards a net-zero-carbon and sustainable future.' In 2024, TCL Technology officially joined the United Nations Global Compact ('UNGC'), and pledged with companies and other stakeholders from nearly 170 countries to fulfill the 10 principles of the UNGC covering human rights, labour standards, environment and anti-corruption, and to make continuous contributions to the realisation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. At the same time, the Group has taken a key step to establish the 'Strategy and Sustainability Committee', escalated ESG management to the Board level, and established the 'ESG Working Committee' to deepen the integration of environmental, social and governance aspects in the Group's strategic planning and daily operations management. Adhering to the belief that 'sustainable development is not optional but necessary', TCL Technology is committed to exploring and applying digital tools to achieve more accurate and efficient carbon emission management. In addition, the company continues to implement value-sharing initiatives to promote the Group's ESG development in all aspects, such as 'TCLGreen', exemplified by the TCL Photovoltaic Low-Carbon Campus project, and 'TCLforHer', an initiative advocating for women's empowerment through technology and culture.
