I have a love-hate relationship with Spotify that might just be leaning more towards love today. While I struggle with some of the company’s choices about the type of content it allows on its platform, I have always had a soft spot for its Wrapped roundups and the monthly audiobook hours included with my Premium subscription.

Roblox launched an open-source AI model that generates 3D objects on the fly early last year and now that toolset is getting a massive boost. The platform has introduced a model that whips up “4D” objects. I put 4D in quotes because it doesn’t actually allow access to the fourth dimension, but rather lets users […]
