Two days after releasing another update for Stellaris, Paradox says the pace of patches is going to slow down—not because Stellaris 4.0 is in tip-top shape (it's not), but because firing out updates so quickly is causing more headaches than its worth.Released in early May alongside the not-very-popular BioGenesis expansion, the 4.0 update was not in a great state when it went live. "During the lead-up to the release, I...

For a chap atop one of the most high profile tech organisations on the planet, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's propensity, shall we say, to expatiate but not excogitate, is, well, remarkable. Sometimes, he really doesn't seem to think before he speaks.
