While previously slated to arrive as DLC to the original game, developer Joy Way has now released the campaign

A prisoner’s dilemma shows AI’s path to human cooperation

ChatGPT’s engine cooperates more than people but also overestimates human collaboration, according to new research. Scientists believe the study offers valuable clues about deploying AI in real-world applications. The findings emerged from a famous game-theory problem: the prisoner’s dilemma.

Climate tech is set to boom. This VC explains why it’s ripe for investment

Climate tech is receiving a proportionally larger share of what is, undeniably, a muted venture capital investment environment. VC and private equity investment in the sector has, thus far in 2023, fallen by 40% — just as the evidence of the need for more money for potentially planet-saving technology is becoming increasingly insurmountable.  However, the
