Roblox has introduced a new AI-powered feature called 'Build' that allows users to create games on their mobile devices using text prompts. This feature, which is part of Roblox's broader AI initiatives, enables users to generate basic games without programming knowledge. While this democratizes game development, it also raises concerns about the potential for low-quality content. To address this, Roblox will rank AI-generated games based on player retention. The feature will be available for public alpha testing in New Zealand starting July 28, with additional AI tools expected in the future.

Judge allows NAACP lawsuit over xAI pollution to proceed
xAI's attempt to dismiss the NAACP's Clean Air Act lawsuit failed after a federal judge ruled that its gas turbines are not exempt mobile sources and that plaintiffs have standing.
