‘Mindseye’ is the largest fiasco that the industry remembers from ‘Cyberpunk 2077’. And a notice of what is not going well in video games

‘Mindseye’ had lifted considerable expectations, especially for the identity of its responsible, the archner of the saga ‘GTA’ Leslie Benzies. However, the launch has been a disaster of such size that Sony has decided to open the returns from the purchase amount In the PlayStation Store to the players who wish. It is inevitable to think, at this point, in a recent fiasco comparable: ‘Cyberpunk 2077’. A disaster From innumerable technical problemsunusual in a product of this size, to a development well below the expected, ‘Mindseye’ has defrauded all expectations, to the point that it already has More than 1300 assessments in Steampractically all negative. In Metacritic ABISMAL TREATERS 2.9 OF USERS AND HAVE NOT HAVE Note from Professionals, since the company did not give it to the press To play it before launch (traditionally, a sign that something is going wrong.) expectations have played against them: comparisons with ‘GTA VI’ during the promotion were continuous, and Benzies could not moderate them to avoid disappointments. For memes. Bugs and glitches are being innumerable And, of course, players They are registering them and uploading to social networks: Flying NPCS or that explode in meaningless polygons, faces of faces and physical physical ones … there are falls from Frames and Crasheos Continuous, even in console. And as a icing, the campaign is very scarce: Around 20 hoursand with a development that is apparently repetitive and with very little interest. While there are patches, there is hope. Of course, Build to Rocket Boy, the signatory study of ‘Mindseye’, has done everything he could to cushion the impact: recognize the problems and promise that he will fix them in A series of patches To improve performance (at least, get out of 40 fps) and fix bugs. Although for now, he is only doing it on PC. Again, ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ comes to the memory of the players, but perhaps, maintaining hope, it does so in the opposite direction: a game that seemed insurmountable became, patch patch, patch, patch, In the title that should have been departure. Of course, not the ideal route, but a good proof that everything has arrangement. ‘Mindseye’ is a new notice for navigators about the many fractures that plague the industry today. It is almost a catalog of the problems that have ended up deriving in a business that allows broken games like this to see the light. Some of those failures could be: He Hype and marketing as a guarantee: The reputation of Benzies and his curriculum as part of the ‘GTA’ franchise seemed enough to guarantee a good result, but possibly became a development with unrealistic goals. The worst audience in the world: Yes, of course players have their part of guilt. Its avidity for playing every month at the best game of the year (or the decade) has generated some dynamics of toxic creativity in the studies, which are forced to promise above their possibilities to attract the attention of a fandom stunned by excess signals. Ambition that does not accompany the real possibilities: There is currently only a video game creator capable of extending checks that your talent can pay, and it is Kojima. And he doesn’t always get it. Therefore, that a project standing by a team without a much more solid promising trajectory, in a Sandbox, Something as ambitious as “Roblox type mechanics” You should jump alarms instead of guaranteeing echo in the press. The tyranny of the launch dates: It is not the first time that a game goes on sale without ending: the launch dates should be realistic and, above all, the studies would have to have the freedom to delay the launch of a game if it is not finished one hundred percent. They are just some details that have defined the debacle of ‘Mindseye’, but that reveal much more serious problems than a half -game. If any utility has this failed launch at this point is to function as a warning mechanism for an industry that works more and more as a predestined hype machinery. A bubble that, if it aspires to conservation, has to take care to survive. Header | Io interactive

It is a notice for the rest of the millionaires who supported him

A little over eight months ago, Elon Musk self -demonstrated “Donald Trump’s first friend” after his re -election as US president. He Cross anxyper That both Musk and Trump dedicated themselves in public leaves no doubt that he has now become “the first former friend.” However, the important thing is not so much what both millionaires said openly, but the evening warning that Trump made to the rest of Millionaires who have supported him From his investiture: “Or with me or against me.” Musk’s “One More Thing”. After weeks of rumorslast week Donald Trump and Elon Musk made official the departure of the South African millionaire at the head of the Doge with A ceremony in the Oval Office in which Musk’s work was praised in the first hundred days of mandate. Then, and in the purest style of Steve Jobs, Musk raised his “One More Thing” before closing that stage and lasted hard against the new tax cut law (known as “One Big Beautiful Bill”) qualifying itof “disgusting abomination.” The fuse had lit and it was a matter of time that everything jump through the air. The World Cup was mounted. Following Musk’s criticism escalation to the fiscal megaley, among its measures contemplated the Subsidy cut For the electric car, Trump began Your offensive against Musk. Musk’s response came from his social network attributing the Merit of Electoral Victory Trump and threatening with dismantle the dragon capsule that NASA has been using astronauts to the space station. However, the high point came when Tesla’s CEO accused the president of appearing on the list of Jeffrey Epstein. Musk even asked his followers If you should found a new party to oppose Trump’s measures. The evening warning. Elon Musk was the Trump’s main validboth during his presidential campaign and in minor elections, contributing hundreds of millions of dollars that distributed To win the electorateand favor Trump’s political interests. However, that has not been an obstacle for Trump to defnert without flinching to such a powerful ally. ¿What would I be able to do With other millionaires who have not had a relationship as narrow as the one he has had with Musk? Jeff Bezos has already received the message. A few weeks ago a working document was leaked in which Amazon employees considered the possibility of breaking down the price increase of tariffs imposed by Trump in their products. From the White House they did not hesitate to get the artillery against Bezos. Karoline Leavitt, Trump government spokesman, accused To the company of “A hostile and political act by Amazon”, and lashed out at Jeff Bezos accusing him of being “the arm of the Chinese propaganda” while showing a photo of the millionaire leading an article in which he was accused of censoring the reviews of a book with the speeches of the Chinese president Xi Jinping. A call from Donald Trump to Bezos would be enough for the millionaire to recular and the company recovered the value of actions that They had collapsed before presidential threats. Apple managed a tense calm. Tim Cook was another of the millionaires who witnessed Trump’s possession in the front line. Months later, Apple felt the pressure of Trump’s economic policies. The president would apply A 25% tariff To technological ones who do not manufacture in the US. To appease Trump’s fury, Apple He promised to invest 500,000 million dollars in the United States over the next four years in return, since it was materially impossible to relocate the production of its short -term smartphones. With this, both parties sealed a tense calm without major consequences … at least temporarily. Mark Zuckerberg is not in prison. With regard to Mark Zuckerberg, the millionaire has not yet entered prison, which is already a lot since Donald Trump spent part of his campaign threatening with imprisonment “For life” to the meta founder. In return, the millionaire has not only provided financial support to Trump’s investiture, but has been one of the first to fly a flying Its labor policies of diversity, equality and inclusion in goal, but also aligned the functioning of its social network to Trump’s wishes. What the meta founder has not been able to get rid of the debate about whether Goal is a monopoly. Emalisting with Trump could make that delicate scale get against him and end up dismembering the goal.

The US president has just launched a clear notice to Apple

Apple is still looking for how to reduce its dependence on China. In a recent conversation with investorsTim Cook confirmed that most iPhone that will be sold in the United States in the coming months will be manufactured in India. Is another step in the diversification process that the company has started silentlybut already gives results: Half of its iPhone for the US market already leave factories in the country led by Narendra Modi. But the strategy has not been well received on all fronts. During a public intervention in Qatar, within the framework of his Middle East tour, the US president said he had “a small problem with Tim Cook”. His words, Video registered and available on YouTubeThey showed a clear discomfort with the direction that Apple has taken. According to his own testimony, I would have told the company’s CEO: “You will invest 500,000 million, but now I find out that you are building throughout India. I don’t want you to build in India.” The president went further at his presentation. He said that, after years of accepting that Apple built factories in China, now the expectation is that this production is transferred to American soil. “We want you to build here. We are not interested that you continue expanding in India, ”he said in a direct tone that he can mark a new stage in the relationship between the new administration and the Cupertino company, which, by the way, It is one of the largest in the world for stock market. What is not clear, at least for now, is whether this gesture will have an impact on Apple’s industrial diversification strategy. The company continues to produce most of its iPhone in China, and currently does not manufacture smartphones in the United States. According to the analyst Dan Iives, of Wedbush Securities, moving all the production to Apple’s country would be prohibitive for both the company and consumers. In other statements collected by The GuardianEvercore experts also pointed out that the US economy “is not prepared” to mount a mobile production chain: neither has the infrastructure nor has it or has The necessary specialized labor. The commercial board moves (again) In parallel to the tension between Apple and the Executive, the international commercial environment has been altered by the reciprocal tariff regime announced by the US administration on April 2. That frame imposed new levies to imports from several countries, and It came to place tariffs on Chinese products by 145%. However, that regime is currently suspended. After an advance in negotiations between Washington and Beijing, Both governments agreed a 90 -day break in additional tariffs. During that time, a 30 % base rate On imports from China, even superior to that applied to other countries such as India or Vietnam, which pay 10 % under the same pause. Will this relieve the pressure that pushes many multinationals to accelerate the transfer of their supply chains outside of China? Commercial thaw opens a window of opportunity, but also adds uncertainty. Will technological technological ones continue, or will they wait to see how an increasingly volatile scenario evolves? Apple, in particular, must carefully measure your next steps.

AI is also a tool to get a job: “No one will notice”

The curriculum is the only cartridge of the candidates To highlight at the beginning of the selection processes. Therefore, it must be optimized enough for ATS automated selection systems (Applicant Tracking System), but also Offer clear and concise information In case you check them a human recruiter. The use of AI in the elaboration of curriculums is not only an increasingly common trend, but already It is a common practice among those who seek employment efficiently. He 2025 market trends report From the Career Group Companies personnel selection platform, it points out that almost 65% of employment applicants already use AI in some phase of their application process. This figure shows how AI is not only transforming the labor marketbut also the Personnel selection stages. Far from be a “trap” In the process, the correct use of AI It can make the difference between unnoticed or capture the attention of recruiters. It is not enough to be good at your job, too You should know how to tell. It’s okay to use in your curriculum Kathleen Nolan, a senior recruiter at the Growthloop technology company, has reviewed hundreds of curriculums and stated in statements to CNBC that has no problem that candidates use AI to write their credentials. “Nobody cares if you use AI. If you use it well, nobody will notice,” said Nolan, who has been in the sector for seven years and personally reviews each curriculum he receives. Nolan stressed that LMost people already use AI for tasks like this and that the important thing is to know how to use it correctly. In fact, the recruitment expert recommends that candidates Use tools like chatgpt To generate a first draft for the presentation letter or for the curriculum, and then customize the result before sending it. For the recruiter, use AI to customize the curriculum is to take advantage of a tool available to everyone. No one would be surprised in the 21st century someone use a computer and a word processor to write your curriculum or your presentation letter. “It seems very hypocritical when I see the recruiters talk about that, because, come on, if I were in the labor market, I would also be doing it,” says Nolan to CNBC. The AI ​​is nothing more than a tool that facilitates and speeds up the adaptation of the curriculum to each offer, incorporating keywords and highlighting specific skills that appear in the description of the position. “I don’t know why it has become such a controversial issue. While it is used as intended, no one can know, and anyway should not matter,” says Nolan. This increases the chances of curriculum passes automatic filters and arrive at the hands of a human recruiter. After passing that first filter, the document must be clear enough to Show the information clearly and consistent so that the recruiter can get a clear idea of ​​your skills with a simple look. It should be taken into account that these people check hundreds or thousands of curriculums, so, in many cases, they can only dedicate them more than a few seconds. AI can help you identify the most relevant terms and to rewrite your achievements to give priority to the most prominent for the position to which I postulate. For example, you can ask you to summarize your qualification and experience using action verbs or that stands out Quantifiable results in previous jobs. Thus, your curriculum will be more attractive and will be better aligned with what companies are looking for, without losing authenticity or precision. The importance of reviewing the AI ​​text Although AI can save you a lot of time and improve the quality of the curriculum, it is always necessary to check the final text and give your personal touch. IA tools are trained with large volumes of data and, sometimes, They can hallucinate and include incorrect information. Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly review the result and correct possible errors to ensure that everything that the document appears is true and consistent with your experience. “I would not expect someone to write a personalized presentation letter for every opportunity, because that would consume a lot of time,” said Nolan. However, the recruiter remembered that, if it is going to be sent to one, it must ensure that it is well written and that it reflects the candidate’s enthusiasm for vacancy. Reading a “type” letter can generate the opposite effect on the recruiter.

More than 50,000 people under evacuation orders or notice for fire north of Los Angeles

CASTAIC, California, USA — Nearly 20,000 people were ordered to evacuate Wednesday as a massive wildfire moved rapidly and tore through the rugged mountains north of Los Angeles, while arid Southern California endured another round of dangerous winds and two other large fires continued to burn. The Hughes Fire broke out in the morning and within hours burned about 8 square miles (21 square kilometers) of trees and brush, generating a huge plume of dark smoke near the Castaic Lake area, a popular recreation area located about 40 miles (64 kilometers) north of the devastating Eaton and Palisades fires that are still burning after three weeks. A 30-mile (48-kilometer) stretch of Interstate 5, a major north-south thoroughfare, was closed as flames swept across hills and into steep canyons. Crews on the ground and in air tankers tried to prevent the wind-driven fire from crossing the highway and heading toward Castaic, where most of the 19,000 residents were ordered to evacuate. Another 15,000 residents in the area were warned to be prepared to leave at any time, according to the Los Angeles County Police Department. Kayla Amara drove to the Stonegate neighborhood in Castaic to pick up items from the house of a friend who had left in a hurry to pick up her daughter from preschool. While Amara was packing up the car, she learned that the fire had grown in size and decided to douse the property with water. “Other people are also spraying their houses with water. I hope there is a house to return to,” Amara said as police patrols passed through the streets and flames engulfed trees on a hill in the distance. Amara, a nurse who lives in nearby Valencia, said she has been nervous for weeks as large fires devastated Southern California. “It’s been stressful with those other fires, but now that this one is close to home it’s just super stressful,” he said. To the south of the state, officials in Los Angeles began preparing for possible rain even as some residents were cleared to return to the charred areas of Pacific Palisades and Altadena. The windy weather was forecast to continue through Thursday and there was a chance of rain starting Saturday, according to the National Weather Service. “Rain is forecast and the threat of mud and debris flows in our fire-impacted communities is real,” Supervisor Kathryn Barger said during a news conference Wednesday morning. Fire crews filled sandbags for communities while county workers installed barriers and cleaned drainage pipes and basins. Red flag alerts for critical fire risk were extended until 8 p.m. Thursday in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Authorities remained concerned that the two large fires, the Palisades and Eaton fires, could break their containment lines as firefighters continue to monitor critical locations. For her part, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass warned that the winds could blow ash and advised Angelenos to visit the city’s website to learn how to protect themselves from toxic air during the new Santa Ana wind event. Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer warned that the ash could contain heavy metals, arsenic and other harmful materials. “Even brief exposure can cause skin irritation and lead to more serious problems,” Ferrer said Wednesday, asking people to wear protective gear while cleaning. Low humidity, extremely dry vegetation and high winds occurred as firefighters continued to battle the Eaton and Palisades fires, which have killed at least 28 people and destroyed more than 14,000 structures since they began on January 7. Containment of the Palisades Fire was 68%, and that of the Eaton Fire was 91%. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said Wednesday that his department continues to investigate 22 active missing person reports in both fire zones. All of the people reported missing are adults, he added. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is investigating the causes of the fires but has not released any findings. Several people who lost their homes in the Eaton fire have filed lawsuits, alleging that utility company Southern California Edison’s equipment started the fire. A judge overseeing one of the lawsuits on Tuesday ordered the company to produce data from circuits in the area where the fire started.
