If you have been wanting to invest in a new monitor for your gaming setup or start building a monitor-based gaming setup, this Samsung 37" Odyssey 4K Curved Gaming Monitor is $150 off this weekend.

At 37", this monitor is huge, but the curved screen keeps the picture more in your direct field of vision for better, more immersive gameplay. On top of that, the 4K UHD resolution renders in 165 Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time for an immaculate picture at a granular level. This monitor also features VESA DisplayHDR, which is designed to deepen darker colors and create richer lighter colors. This screen is LED, so it doesn’t offer the level of visual richness that a QLED would, but this model comes nearly as close as LED can.

Additionally, the monitor comes with HDMI cords, and reviews praise the heavy, well-made base of the monitor that limits shaking and wobbling. If you have a different stand that you’d like to use, it does come with a VESA mounting pattern for your choice of stand.

Immerse yourself in your favorite RPG, FPS, or classic platformer with the Samsung 37" Odyssey 4K Curved Gaming Monitor, and if you spring for one this weekend, you can save $150.

Apple is losing one of its top AI minds, according to Bloomberg.

Robby Walker, who had been the senior director of Apple's Answers, Information, and Knowledge team since earlier this year, is reportedly set to leave the tech giant next month. Walker had previously been in charge of Siri prior to moving over to AI development. This is on top of Apple losing other high-level AI employees to Meta back in July, also reported by Bloomberg.

The report doesn't give an explicit reason for why Walker or the other employees have left the company, but it certainly doesn't paint an entirely positive picture of Apple's AI development from the outside looking in. The company's Apple Intelligence suite of AI features has notably lagged behind competitors like Google. One very noteworthy example is that Google's Gemini Live naturalistic chatbot has been up and running for a while, even as Apple's long-awaited AI-powered Siri upgrade has been reportedly delayed into next year.

It remains to be seen whether or not all of this AI business is a bubble just waiting to burst or something that's truly here to stay, but at the pace Apple is moving, one might get the impression that the company is betting on the former.
