I’m never getting any work done ever again, thanks to this website that lets me play thousands of user-made Doom levels in my browser

DoomScroll is a new website that allows users to browse and play thousands of user-created Doom WADs directly in their web browsers. The platform offers smooth gameplay with standard keyboard and mouse controls, but some maps may not function correctly due to emulator limitations. There are concerns about the redistribution of projects, as not all creators permit their work to be shared outside its original platform, and DoomScroll currently lacks a verification mechanism for the origins of these creations. Major Arlene, a prominent Doom modder, expressed enthusiasm for DoomScroll despite these issues. Additionally, the Doom franchise recently saw the release of Doom: The Dark Ages and faced shifts in its modding community with the departure of contributors from GZDoom. John Romero, co-creator of Doom, is working on a new indie first-person shooter project after the cancellation of his studio's main endeavor by Microsoft.

Microsoft says AI agents are “risky”, but it’s moving ahead with the plan on Windows 11

Microsoft is integrating AI agents into Windows 11, despite acknowledging risks such as hallucinations, unpredictable behavior, and vulnerabilities to cyber threats like Cross Prompt Injection (XPIA). The company plans to transform every Windows 11 PC into an AI-powered machine by introducing features like Copilot Voice, Copilot Vision, and Copilot Actions. The Windows 11 taskbar will feature a new "Ask Copilot" interface for users to interact with AI agents. These agents will operate under separate accounts with limited permissions, controlled folder access, and tamper-evident logs, but still have access to personal folders like Documents and Downloads. The Agent Workspace is a key feature that allows AI agents to perform tasks in a controlled environment, separate from the user's session. Agents can interact with applications and execute multi-step tasks while being monitored. Microsoft employs the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to regulate agent interactions with applications, ensuring security and proper permissions. Despite concerns over privacy and security, Microsoft believes that integrating AI is essential for keeping Windows competitive. The company has faced backlash over previous features like Recall, which raised privacy issues, and must work to rebuild trust with users. The experimental AI features are currently optional, and Microsoft aims to demonstrate their value to encourage acceptance.
