LG will release the first 1000Hz, 1080p gaming monitor this year
3 hours ago
by Richard Lawler
Gaming, LG, News, PC Gaming, TechIf you just can't choose between refresh rate and resolution, LG's next gaming monitor could solve your problem, as the UltraGear 25G590B monitor is the first one announced that will be capable of a native 1000Hz refresh rate at 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. So far, the 1,000Hz models we've seen have only been capable of 720p at the most, but this 24.5-inch IPS display does not have that limitation, as the company says it's ready for esports competitors (whether they're in an FPS or Excel ), who need maximum responsiveness.

Musk v. Altman proved that AI is led by the wrong people
9 hours ago
by Hayden Field
AI, Analysis, Elon Musk, Law, Microsoft, OpenAI, Policy, Report, Tech, xAIThe tech trial of the year, Musk v. Altman , was ultimately a fight for control. Elon Musk argued that Sam Altman, with whom he helped found the now-massive company OpenAI, shouldn't direct the future of AI. Altman's lawyers, in turn, poked at Musk's own credibility.

In a strictly legal sense, three weeks of testimony added up to nothing. But the trial offered a more damning broader takeaway: Almost nobody in this saga seems worth trusting .
