AI Rocks Silicon Valley as Gaming Legends Rise & Carbon Gets Buried!

Silicon Valley was reportedly abuzz over an AI social network called Moltbook, where AI agents populated their own online world and, according to Vox, even started a religion. Meanwhile, in the gaming world, id Software co-founder John Romero reunited with the company's founding members to revisit "Catacomb 3D," their early first-person adventure game that directly preceded "Wolfenstein 3D," Ars Technica reported.

Moltbook, as described by Vox, created a stir with its unique premise of AI agents interacting within their own social network. Bryan Walsh of Vox noted the unusual activity observed on social media, hinting at the emergent behavior within Moltbook's AI ecosystem.

In gaming news, "Dragon Quest VII Reimagined," a remake of the PlayStation classic, was released by Square Enix, according to multiple sources including The Verge. The remake aims to be an accessible entry point for new players to the long-running series. The Verge reported that "Reimagined" builds upon previous remakes with quality-of-life improvements, revamped graphics, and a story update feature.

John Romero and the original id Software team looked back at "Catacomb 3D," a game often overshadowed by its successor, "Wolfenstein 3D." Ars Technica noted that "Catacomb 3D" was a pioneering game that included mouse support and color-coded doors. The retrospective video offered an informative look at the creation of the game, nearly 35 years after its initial release.

Also making news, M83's album "Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts" has seen renewed interest. According to The Verge, the album is a post-rock record reminiscent of Mogwai and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, but with a French twist. The album, released before M83's embrace of 80s-inspired pop, captures a sense of abandoned cityscapes and underlying unease through its instrumental soundscapes, utilizing drum machines, analog synths, and compressed guitar.

Other developments included Meta's closure of VR studios, impacting users of the fitness game Supernatural, as reported by multiple news sources.
