Steam game demo costs $1,000 daily in AI fees forcing loan

The developers of a free AI-powered game demo on Steam called Easy Fox have taken out a bank loan because player numbers grew too fast. The game uses AI to process voice commands and build responses for a virtual character, which costs over $1,000 per day in AI service fees. With more than 400 players at its peak, the demo hit usage limits on Google Gemini and had to fall back to the less capable ChatGPT Realtime Mini 2.1 model.

They are also looking for alternative AI models in Russia where Western models are hard to access due to sanctions.

Food delivery robots face violence in American cities

Food delivery robots controlled by AI are being kicked and smashed by pedestrians in American cities like Los Angeles. A robot was found facedown on a sidewalk in downtown Los Angeles after a man kicked it and called it a failure.

Throughout 2026, similar robots have faced abuse as they test whether humans and robots can coexist in public spaces. The violence against these machines shows early signs that the public is not ready to accept AI-driven delivery services.
