A revolution in the world of handheld Windows consoles. Ayaneo Air Plus on AMD’s latest platform will cost just $290
It looks like AMD has already revolutionized the handheld gaming market, it just takes time.
The other day we were talking about the new Ayn Loki console, which, starting at $500, will be based on Ryzen 6000, which means that in terms of performance it may even be better than Steam Deck. Now we can say that the Valve console is probably no longer the leader in terms of price and performance. At least in absentia.
Ayaneo has unveiled the Air Plus, which will start at just $290! And already for this money, the performance should be quite high.
The console will be based on AMD’s Mendocino APUs, which the company showed at Computex. They combine four processor cores on the Zen 2 architecture and a GPU on the RDNA 2 architecture. That is, this is the same set as the APU in the Steam Deck. AMD itself focuses these processors on cheap laptops, but no one bothers using them to create pocket set-top boxes.
Unfortunately, we do not yet know the details about the GPU configuration of such APUs, so we cannot confidently say that Ayaneo Air Plus will be more productive than Steam Deck, but it is likely that they will be at least on the same level.
True, there is one important nuance. The Air Plus’ six-inch screen will be Full HD, which is a much more significant load on the GPU compared to the Valve console. But at $290, there’s hardly anything to complain about. Suffice it to remember that now these consoles with older processors cost $ 1,000 or more.
It remains to be added that Mendocino APUs will be released in the fourth quarter, so consoles based on them will appear at least at the end of the year.

Game of Thrones sequel created on ChatGPT: George R.R. Martin and other authors are suing OpenAI

Various authors have sued OpenAI for copyright infringement. They accuse the company of using books to train AI models.
The Authors Guild and 17 famous authors such as Jonathan Franzen, John Grisham, George R.R. Martin and Jodi Picoult filed the lawsuit in the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs hope the lawsuit will be classified as a class action.
According to the complaint, OpenAI “copied plaintiffs’ work wholesale, without permission or review” and fed copyrighted material into large language models.
“The earnings of these authors depend on the works they create. But defendant’s programs jeopardize the ability of science fiction writers to make a living because they allow anyone to create—automatically and freely (or very cheaply)—text that they would otherwise pay writers to create,” the lawsuit states.
The authors added that OpenAI’s programs could result in the creation of derivative works “that are based on, imitate, generalize, or paraphrase their books,” which could harm their market.
The lawsuit also alleges that ChatGPT was used by programmer Liam Swain to “write” sequels to George R.R. Martin’s bestselling novel A Song of Ice and Fire, which was adapted into the popular TV series Game of Thrones. Swain used a neural network to create his own versions of these books, which he posted online.

“Armed, but not dangerous” – Elon Musk, with a pistol in his hands, demanded to be included in Cyberpunk 2077

Billionaire Elon Musk interrupted a recording session for Cyberpunk 2077 to demand his inclusion in the game. This is described in the biography of the billionaire written by journalist Walter Isaacson.
One of the chapters told how he came into the studio with a gun. At this point, the mother of his children, Grimes, was recording her own lines for Cyberpunk 2077. At some point, Musk appeared in the studio and insisted that he get a cameo role. The developers relented and added an NPC similar to him to the game.
“When Grimes was recording the voice of the cyborg pop star she played in the video game Cyberpunk 2077, he showed up at the studio with a two-hundred-year-old pistol and insisted on being given a cameo,” writes Walter Isaacson. “The guys in the studio got nervous.”
Isaacson noted that Musk was passionate about the game Cyberpunk 2077 because he was close to the topic of augmentations for the human body due to his work at the company Neuralink, which works on brain implants.
Previously, Neuralink, a brain chip startup owned by Elon Musk, began accepting applications for volunteers to test a brain implant on patients with paralysis.
