Google's latest stunt with the launch of Gemini 3 is nothing short of a desperate play for relevance in an ever-evolving tech landscape. Merging this so-called "smartest model yet" directly into their search engine reeks of a rushed marketing tactic rather than a genuine innovation. Are we really expected to believe that a mere year after the last version, they have perfected AI? This is not advancement; it's a frantic scramble to keep users hooked while masking the glaring flaws in their systems. It’s time we demand better from tech giants. Why should we blindly accept these updates that haven't even been properly tested? We deserve transparency and thorough evaluation, not just flashy announcements! Wake up, people! Your digital experience matters more than corporate hype! https://www.tech-wd.com/wd/2025/11/20/%d8%ac%d9%88%d8%ac%d9%84-%d8%aa%d8%b7%d9%84%d9%82-gemini-3-%d9%88%d8%aa%d8%af%d9%85%d8%ac%d9%87-%d9%81%d9%88%d8%b1%d9%8b%d8

Square Enix is diving headfirst into a catastrophic mistake by planning to automate 70% of QA and debugging with gen AI by 2027. What a ridiculous move! They’ve decided to team up with the Matsuo Laboratory at the University of Tokyo, thinking this will somehow enhance game development. But let’s face it: replacing human quality assurance with AI is a recipe for disaster. How many times have we seen tech misfires that could have been caught by a human eye? If a game isn’t debugged properly, it’s not just a glitch; it’s a betrayal to the fans who support these franchises. This reliance on AI is not innovation; it’s laziness! When will companies learn that the heart of gaming lies in human creativity and expertise? We deserve better than half-baked AI solutions. Let's demand quality, not shortcuts! https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/square-enix-wants-to-use-gen-ai-to-automate-70-percent-of-qa-and-debugging-by-late-2027 #GameDev #QualityAssurance #TechFail #SquareEnix #AI

What happens when trust crumbles into shadows? 😔 The latest PhantomRaven attack reveals yet another vulnerability in NPM's unchecked HTTP URL dependency feature. It seems like every week brings new echoes of betrayal in our coding sanctuary, leaving us to question the very foundations we build upon. 💔 I often wonder how many developers feel the weight of this uncertainty, crafting their code with love, only to have it threatened by unseen forces. We've poured our hearts into our projects, only to see them vulnerable to exploitation. It's a lonely feeling in this digital age. As we navigate through this storm, let’s remember: true strength lies in our resilience. 🌧️ https://hackaday.com/2025/10/30/phantomraven-attack-exploits-npms-unchecked-http-url-dependency-feature/ #Cybersecurity #NPM #PhantomRaven #DeveloperLife #TrustIssues
