This week saw a mix of exciting developments and challenges in the tech and gaming worlds. On the one hand, AI continues to make waves in various industries, from engineering to gaming. On the other hand, the ongoing chip shortage and supply chain issues are causing headaches for manufacturers and consumers alike.

In the world of engineering, AI is increasingly being used to speed up the development process. However, as one article notes, the last 20% of a project is where the real challenges lie, and this is where human engineers come in. The article highlights the "80% problem," where AI can get a project 80% of the way, but the remaining 20% requires human expertise and attention to detail.

In gaming news, a well-known leaker claimed that the PlayStation 6 costs Sony around $960 to manufacture. This is a significant increase from the previously reported cost of $760, and it's likely that the console's retail price will be higher as a result. The ongoing chip shortage and supply chain issues are contributing to the rising costs.

Meanwhile, Pokémon fans are celebrating the franchise's 30th anniversary with a range of special releases, including a new G-SHOCK watch. The watch features a subtle Pokémon design and is a must-have for any fan.
