🎮 Evolution of NPCs - Will Gen AI Reshape Gaming?

Good Morning from the Promptbox Team!

Another steady weekend for AI, with the usual major headlines popping up about war, funding, and advancements - and we sorted through all of them to find you the best ones. We’re good like that.

As for Web3, I’m waiting to see what happens when the US starts trading this morning, but as we creep out of October, crypto is looking to have a mini run - as expected.

Just keep in mind this is not a bull run; this is not those life-changing gains - just yet - so be mindful that what goes up will come down and come down hard in the very near future.

We’re still accumulating.

Welcome to Monday. Let's get it.
