PUT AN IMAGE on the internet, and there’s every chance a large AI model will come along and scrape it, copyright or not. Nightshade, a new anti-AI tool designed to stall the scraping process, amassed 250,000 downloads in the first five days of its re

AMD is adding what it calls Fluid Frame Generation to its RDNA 3-based integrated graphics—a feature previously only available in full discrete cards. Currently, it’s only available via a beta driver. AMD inevitably released one of its orange bar cha
