If you have been paying for a voice transcription app, you might want to hold off on renewing that subscription. Google has launched Google AI Edge Eloquent on macOS, bringing its free dictation app to Mac users. The app captures what you say, transcribes it, and cleans it up in real time by removing filler words and polishing the text for clarity. The app, dubbed “Google Al Edge Eloquent,” was first launched on iOS a few months ago, and it has now finally come to macOS.

When you type a visual description into the Amazon app, like “flannel shirt” or “blue and white gingham dress,” the search bar now generates AI images of products in real time as you type. These images are not real products you can actually buy. They are entirely made up, existing purely as visual suggestions to help you find products that look similar. Whether that sounds useful or baffling to you probably depends on how much patience you have for AI features that solve problems you did…

According to Kuo’s updated analysis (via X), only two of the seven products have survived, and Apple has cancelled five of them. Of the two, one is a pair of AI smart glasses that competes directly with the Meta Ray-Ban lineup,…

The Blood of Dawnwalker thoroughly impressed me when I visited Rebel Wolves’ studio in Warsaw, Poland, in April. Though much of my excitement was centered on the heavy reliance on choice-driven mechanics and the way NPCs react to the protagonist, Coen, based on how you interact with others in the game, I would be remiss to not mention that the combat system also feels like a step up from other similar titles. And in speaking with the seasoned game-development veterans at the nascent studio, they seem to feel that way as well.In The Blood of Dawnwalker, players participate in similar…
