Google exec shares an AI Mode change for sources that makes it even easier to fact-check

Google has introduced an update to its Search platform that enhances AI Mode and AI Overviews. The update includes "groups of links" accessible through a floating sub-menu when users hover over the link icon, which has been redesigned for better visibility. This feature is currently available only for desktop users, while mobile users will continue to tap links as usual. AI Mode can assist with appointment bookings by requiring users to fill out a brief form, after which it summarizes the information gathered. Earlier this year, Google integrated its AI model, Gemini 3, into AI Overviews, allowing users to ask follow-up questions more quickly while retaining context.

There’s more to Horses than the Steam ban: The controversial horror game is a great example of how games can effectively borrow from film, and how they can also stumble

Steam rejected Santa Ragione's new art horror game, Horses, due to its unsettling content, which led to controversy and a lack of clarity from Valve regarding the ban. The game is visually striking and thematically cohesive, exploring routine through the character Anselmo's daily chores on a farm, but it struggles to engage players meaningfully. Valve's guidelines prohibit content designed to "shock or disgust," and while Horses achieves its goal of provoking thought and discomfort, it ultimately fails to fully realize its potential as an interactive experience. The game's pacing and linear progression in the latter half undermine its narrative impact, as it does not allow players time to reflect on the unsettling themes presented. The controversy has sparked discussions about the gaming industry's approach to controversial topics.
