A false video made with AI

by

One of the main searches on social networks this summer has been that of large marine animals: our fascination with the orcs, sharks, whales and other residents of oceanic depths is not new, but in recent weeks the interest has been spurred, as usual, for the morbidity. Specifically, a violent video of a shark that, as usual begins to be, is actually a false piece generated by AI. The trap video. In recent weeks a viral video has circulated that allegedly shows a sea coach named Jessica Radcliffe. attacked by a orca during a live show in Florida. The video is very clearly generated by artificial intelligence, with multiple failures of those who continually see in the less worked videos of this type, but that did not prevent them from platforms where this type of productions make their August, Like Facebookwill accumulate more than one hundred million views. Paid land. The case of the invented Radcliffe, without relation to any real coach, is inspired by other real orcas attacks in captivity, such as those of Alexis Martínez In Spain in 2009 or Dawn Brancheau In Florida in 2010. The phenomenon has prolonged over time, and today It is difficult to track the original videobut not its many effects: Looking for “Jessica Radcliffe” In Tiktok, for example, we find videos that They mimic the originalor what prolong history even with funeraladded, of course, to the thousands of videos Deminting the story. More orcas and sharks. It is not the only video linked to these sea creatures that has recently disseminated. For example, shocking real and documentary images have been seen where orcan white sharks, especially in South Africa and Australia. They spread widely, in fact, Following recent studies and scientific articleswhich enhanced interest in social networks. The AI ​​abounds. However, this last case extracted from a documentary is a rarity: Looking for “Sharks” either “Killer Whales“(Orcas in English) in networks like Tiktok The vast majority of pieces are generated by artificial intelligence, on many occasions showing openly false images of extinct animals such as the colossal megalodon. From this phenomenon it is easily deduced that users do not look for so much news or videos faithful to reality as strong emotions, passed by the filter of the influence of the films of the scal producing and Restraining successfully. Trick for tranquility. However, Internet algorithms extend their tentacles in multiple ways and in many directions, and videos of large marine animals are also spread without that tragic component derived from Jessica Radcliffe’s original. If you want to access them, search on social networks under the terms “Core Sharks” or “Core Killer Whales” and you will find videos of sharks and orcs interacting peacefully with humans or swimming in the ocean. Not everything will be dentelladas. Image | Joseph Stalin in Unspash In Xataka | The industrialization of hope is already the new Tiktok reef. Welcome to “Hopecore”

Seeing a graphics card for more than 10 years in the store in your neighborhood makes all your way. And nothing has to do with video games

by

You walk through your trustworthy store, see the showcase and you find yourself with Graphics cards For more than 10 years on the shelves. It is usually very common, especially in not -so -known stores and with a very limited stock. Although we can ask ourselves from first who buys hardware of these characteristics in 2025, the truth is that they can be more useful than we believe, especially in very specific cases that have nothing to do with video games. A cheap solution for specific cases. Through A publication From Reddit, a user wondered if it was strange to see graphics cards as old as the ones he shared in a photo. The truth is that despite the veteran of these components, they respond to specific needs within the work world, such as Connect multiple monitors to the lowest possible cost. Many companies need double or triple display configurations for office work, so instead of investing in a new computer, they end up adopting one of these graphics cards. For example, one GT 730launched to the market in 2014, and which can offer up to four HDMI outings, can cost a small fraction of what would be worth a modern graph, and solve the problem of connecting several monitors on computers in which the integrated graphic is fair or that simply does not have the necessary HDMI ports. Beyond gaming. Modern motherboards rarely include more than two or three video ports, and in somewhat more outdated equipment only two are allowed to use simultaneously. When an office needs to connect, for example, six screens to the same team, the cheapest solution is to add one of these old cards. The integrated processor GPU may end up being more powerful, but for cases where a good number of screens need to be connected, a dedicated graph of these characteristics would be the cheapest solution. Image: Backpack Studio (UNSPLASH) Emergency cases. As I pointed A Reddit user in your response, these graphics cards can also function as diagnostic tools for computer technicians. Given the failure of a graphics card for everyday use, having a replacement allows you to quickly determine if the problem lies in the graphics card or on the motherboard. In addition, they are still the perfect solution for very old teams that need to be updated: an old computer with VGA output It could connect to several modern monitors through HDMI outings when opting for one of these graphics cards. The compatibility factor. As suggests This other Reddit user, some specialized systems require operating modes that modern integrated GPUs no longer support. NAS servers o Equipment with SAS cards that only work in Legacy mode find in these outdated graphics cards the only way to maintain compatibility with specific hardware. A market in extinction. It is clear that the popularity of processors with increasingly powerful integrated graphics is gradually reducing the demand for dedicated graphics cards for use of office and other specific cases. AMD Ryzen with built -in GPU and the most recent Intel offer enough performance for multiple screens without additional hardware. However, in a panorama in which there are still millions of outdated equipment for business use, these types of graphics cards can take anyone out of a squeeze for a modest price.

In 2017, four Australians revolutionized video games. ‘Silksong’ and its ‘Coca-Cola formula’ promises to repeat it

by

It is an absolute barbarity, but thousands of video games are thrown every year. The vast majority pass without penalty or glory because we do not have time for everything, but in 2017 a game was launched that shook the segment as an earthquake: ‘Hollow Knight’. An indie title slipped among the great productions of that year thanks to two words: ‘Game Feel’, and in 2019 it was announced that it would have a continuation called ‘Silksong’. Six years later, ‘Silksong’ has become a memebut also in one of the most anticipated launches of 2025 and the absolute star of the great European video game event, the Gamescom. And, finally, ‘Silksong’ has a release date. Without surroundings. When it was learned that ‘Silksong’ would be in Gamescom 2025, the community was excited. This is the perfect frame to show material of a game that, in all these years, has peeked the leg with dropper and, above all, the best time to give a release date. They have done it through a trailer in which we can see the game in action and that expected date: September 4 of this year. Now yes: {“Videid”: “x9p7eki”, “Autoplay”: True, “Title”: “Hollow Knight: Silksong – Trailer Release”, “Tag”: “”, “Duration”: “113”} Earthquake. If you like video games, but the indie scene catches something far away, we go with a little context. ‘Silksong’ is the independent sequel to the aforementioned ‘Hollow Knight’, a game that was born in a Kickstarter campaign, like many others, but unlike many, came to fruition not only in financing, but in recognition. They waited $ 35,000 to give light to the project and reached almost 60,000. Team Cherry was the name of the study and, at the beginning, was composed of two developers: Ari Gibson and William Pellem, but with that extra money, they hired David Kazi as technical director already Chris Larkin as composer and audio designer. Its creation was a ‘Metroidvania’ with an extremely spoiled design and, after a PC launch, it took 15 months to reach one million copies sold. It is not something that all games get, but ‘Hollow Knight’ was very, very good and mouth to mouth worked wonderfully. So much that, when a year later it came out on switch, It took just two weeks in selling more than 250,000 copies. He also reached Xbox One and PS4 and, in addition, with physical versions for the three consoles. In Xataka If there was a museum to the prettiest games, these 28 would be in it The Coca-Cola formula. In it analysis of my 3DJUEGOS companions or in that of my compis of Lifextra They already get rid of praise towards the game, but what I want to contribute is that, much of the success of ‘Hollow Knight’ is due to something that, in video games, is known as ‘Game Feel’. This is that feeling that awakens the title when we have the command between hands, the feedback we receive when performing any action and that keeps us ‘hooked’. In the case of ‘Hollow Knight’, the extremely ‘fine’ controlññ in the platform part has much of the fault, but I consider that it is the fight that really makes a difference. When we attack, the sound is pleasant, the blow feels powerful thanks to both the sound effect and to the particles on screen or that the enemy goes back a few steps due to the forcefulness of the blow and, in addition, the vibrate chamber. Together, it is a dopamine chute for our brain, which only thinks about getting more of those, and it is something that is only achieved if we continue playing. In a nutshell, playing ‘Hollow Knight’ introduces us to a flow state as few games get. THE HYPE TRAIN. Like ‘Super Metroid’ or ‘Symphony of the Night’ in its day, or the Spanish ‘Blasphemous’ more recently,’ Hollow Knight has served as influence for many games developed in recent years. And, being so dear, when in 2019 it was announced that They were working in a sequel Independent with a character we already knew, Hornet, madness broke out. The problem? In these six years we have seen ‘Silksong’ in presentations such as Rog Xbox Ally or in the Nintendo Switch 2but barely passed and without being shown in any case new material, since the same year of presentation already a demo was shown… and since then we have been waiting. And the problem is not so much that there is something wrong within Team Cherry, but in the community we got anxious for each possible novelty of ‘Silksong’ and, in each Nintendo event, the thought circulated in networks of “In this we are going to see it” for, when we had no news, some would always end up putting an image turned into meme and icon clown wig. The meme of each presentation for. Six. Years. ‘Silksong‘. But ‘Silksong’ was alive and Team Cherry has been working all these years in the new installment. I don’t want to imagine the pressure That all this journey since the presentation in 2019 has been supposed for the Australian study, but what has already been played in Gamescom 2025 makes it clear that ‘Silksong’ is not ‘Hollow Knight 2’. While 2017 put us at the controls of a “heavy” and forceful character, almost like a tank, ‘Silksong’ puts us to Hornet’s control, much more athletic and skilled. But what seems not to change at all is that ‘Game Feel’ that marked ‘Hollow Knight’. And, if not only have they managed to maintain those sensations, but have given them a twist thanks to the kinetesia of the new character, ‘Silksong’ only has one destination: selling to espuertas and becoming another milestone of the independent scene. Hype will also help this, of course, but just a few days left to put your hands on top.

The AI entered video games as an experiment. Today more than 80% of developers no longer know how to produce without it

by

The data speaks for itself: 87% of video game developers are already using Artificial Intelligence Agents In your day to day, According to a survey In five countries carried out by Google Cloud and The Harris Poll between June 20 and July 9, 2025. It is not a futuristic promise or a passing fad: AI has been installed as an operational resource in the creation process, with a weight so high that many teams no longer know how to work without it. This seems to start the new balance of forces in an industry that moves billions of dollars every year. The transition has been silent but deep. In just a few years, tools that were previously tested in very limited phases of development, such as testing or punctual content generation, have taken a structural place. The change responds partly to the growing pressure on the studies: after a wave of layoffs in 2024 and the closure of several teamsthe industry has sought formulas to shorten deadlines, reduce costs and continue competing in a market where players demand more and faster. Artificial intelligence has conceded fully in that hole. AI agents: what are they and where they fit. In this context, the figure of the “agents” of AI has become key. The report defines them as software systems capable of pursuing objectives with a certain degree of autonomy – raid, planning and memory – and processing text, voice, code, audio and video. Of the 87% that already use this type of systems to accelerate or automate tasks, 44% indicate that they use them directly to improve content or process information. His role extends throughout the Pipeline of development: from the writing of dialogues and the creation of levels to the moderation of communities or the dynamic swing of the gameplay. Costs and Roi: promises and limits. The attractiveness is evident. 94% of developers believe that AI will reduce global production costs in the long term (more than three years), according to the same report. However, not everything is so direct: approximately one in four admits that it finds it difficult to measure precisely the return on investment, and 24% recognize that integrating these technologies also implies a significant expense. Among the recommendations that the study includes ideas such as starting with limited evidence, defining clear metrics from the beginning and ensuring that the use of AI does not contradict the creative vision of the project. Intellectual property and data: the great knot. Beyond efficiency, which most worries a good part of the industry is the legal land. 63% of the survey participants show concern for the property of the data: Who is the owner of the content generated by AI? How is the license of the material that has been used to train these systems managed? Another 32% points directly to conflicts due to licenses, and another 32% to the ownership of the generated. Today, the rules of the game are not clear, and many developers fear possible litigation or commercial vetoes for not having correctly armored the origin and destiny of what they produce with these tools. The AI application is not limited to Backoffice. It is also filtered in the final product. There are agents designed to adapt the difficulty of the game in real time, NPC that can remember what the player has done or interact with more natural responses, systems that accelerate multilingual location or trained models to detect toxic behaviors in online communities. All this is already being used, according to the Google Cloud report and The Harris Poll, although its effects vary as the case. IA provides agility and variability, yes, but it is still far from replacing what the narrative design or the human art direction provides. EMPLOYMENT: Reconfiguration more than substitution. The impact on employment remains one of the great unknowns. In 2024, more than 10,000 workers in the sector lost their work, According to figures collected by Reuters. Although part of these adjustments responds to a change of economic cycle and not directly to the use of AI, critical voices fear that these tools will become an excuse to lighten templates. At the same time, new roles begin to appear: designers who work together with generative systems, specialists in AI integration or responsible for the quality of the agents. Today, what there is not a total revolution, but a transition that accelerates. Artificial intelligence is no longer tested within the world of video games: it is part of the system, and the figures demonstrate it. What is at stake is how its true value is measured, who controls the rights of what it produces and what space is left to human creativity in this new environment. The tools are lists, developers use them. The difficult will come later: to know where the limits are and who has command.

Japan has been teaching tsunamis evacuation routes for years for years in the most Japanese way possible: with video games

by

The memory is fragile, especially under the panic of a tsunami alert. But the Japanese have shown that they are prepared to evacuate the coastal areas. It is no accident. Japan has been exploring innovative methods for years to train its citizens. Context. He Magnitude earthquake 8.7 near the Kamchatka Peninsula He has put on the entire east coast of Japan, forcing almost two million people to evacuate their homes. Although the waves did not exceed the meter and a half, the sirens reminded the Japanese an uncomfortable truth: when the water approaches, every second and each decision tells. And that is precisely the problem of drills: people do not always pay their attention. Given this challenge, several Japanese universities have been developing and perfecting a solution that unites the most vital need in case of Tsunami with one of the largest passions in the country: video games. The 2011 memory. To understand why Japan has been trying to “gamify” the evacuations, you just have to look back, to the 2011 earthquake. That disaster, which left more than 22,000 dead and missing, revealed the critical failures in the evacuation plans. More than 60% of the evacuees used their car, convinced that they would reach a safe place faster. The result was a predictable chaos: monumental traffic jams that caught thousands of people in flood areas. The reality is stubborn. Although the authorities usually recommend evacuating on foot, recent surveys showed that about 50% of the Japanese would come back into the car against a Tsunami alert. This creates an incredibly dangerous scenario, where pedestrians and vehicles compete in a race desperate for survival. It is in this context where digital drills make more sense. They can recreate the chaos of a mixed evacuation of cars and pedestrians to levels to which a physical simulation does not arrive, managing to train citizens for the real dangers they will face. Virtual reality and unreal Engine. The Nippon Institute of Technology developed a simulator with an aseptic name: application of evacuation training against Tsunamis. Based on real evacuation techniques, it is not an action video game, but a virtual reality application based on the Unreal Engine 4 graphic engine that puts the user in real Japan locations with a high risk of Tsunami. The simulator asks you: “What should you notice in this situation?” and the user must touch on the screen the element that considers a risk or an opportunity. It can be a traffic light, a tall building designated as a refuge, a pedestrian about to crossly cross or a car that skips a stop. To motivate users to practice daily, the app incorporates gamification elements, such as a stamps system for completing training with constancy. Do you really work? To validate their effectiveness, the researchers conducted an experiment with 25 citizens of Nishio. First, the participants carried out a virtual evacuation in an immersive simulator, equipped with a virtual reality helmet (HTC Vive Pro Eye) for foot evacuations and a car wheel. Their behavior was measured and asked what they considered important during an evacuation. The results, published in the magazine GeosciencesThey were revealing. After using the app, the participants were much faster and more effective when identifying immediate hazards in their surroundings, such as pedestrians or other vehicles. However, they still had difficulty detecting important but distant elements, such as a hospital or a high building that served as a refuge. Their attention focused on what they had right ahead, especially the elderly, who took longer to respond and had lower success rates.

A video game is recruiting the brightest minds of Russia for war. The problem is that they still go to school

by

Russia gave a blow this week revealing a video of a few minutes. In it, the interior of what they have called as “the largest secret factory of combat drones on the planet”, located at some point in Alabuga, in the Tartaristan region, was prisoned. The piece showed us a huge army of drones with their workers assembling the pieces. However, there was something else: most were not adults, They were teenagers. A video game and a war. History is part of an investigation and exclusive to Russian media in exile The Insider. Apparently, since the summer of 2022, under the appearance of an educational and entertainment platform called Berloga (“Bear Dirridge”), Russia has been recruiting hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren in a progressive technical-military training system focused on the development and use of drones, camouflaged after video gamescompetitions and programs with academic incentives. The game, approved Personally by Putin And symbolically presented in the busy city of Sebastopol, introduces children into a children’s narrative in which “smart bears” They defend The vital resource of “bees” insects, a barely concealed allegory where bears are Russia and Ukrainian bees. From the first levels of the game to participation in face -to -face competitions and the physical assembly of drones, children are guided along a route designed to transform them In technicians and operators useful for the Russian military complex, all while assures them that “they should not say that it is for war.” From command to the welder. Berloga is not an isolated initiative, but the entrance door to a broader educational network built by the so -called agency for Kremlin strategic initiatives, in which They converge NTI Technology Clubs, the TALANT student achievement monitoring platform and the national archipelago intensive. These programs are connected to each other through competitions As great challengesin which thousands of students work in solutions to “technological” problems (which often have undercover military purposes) proposed by companies associated with the Russian State. Screen capture of the concept of a superpesado launch vehicle with a water -based launch system from the “Large Challenges” program Privileged minds to war. He counted the medium That the students who stand out are rewarded with extra points in the national exam, presidential scholarships and direct entries in companies in the defense sector, such as Geoscan, Yakovlev or Almaz-Agent. The tasks presented to them range from the Improvement of the navigationN from UAVS to the design of unmanned vehicles launched from floating platforms, through automated drone detection systems and laser loaders for tactical use. Although J is requiredUstify the projects As if they were for civil use, the students themselves admit That it is a formality: the real objective is military. Children engineers. Adolescents who participate in these training skills and networks not only program or design prototypes, but some (related to research for themselves) They train soldiersthey set up FPV drones and work to undercover military laboratories in exchange for contracts by work with the consent of their parents. The components they use in the contests are the same as they then use in the operational versions of their creations. In other words, knowledge flows directly to the front. Dual technology. In one of the cases, a young man named Stas developed a kamikaze drone low cost to replace current models of the Russian army whose price exceeds $ 10,000 per unit. Another, Vladislav, collaborated with a state company for Test war teams electronics about its own air platform. Companies, Like Geoscan or Yakovlev, segment their operations between civil and military branches, a common practice that allows maintaining the legality facade against international sanctions. This structure of “dual technologies” is held by officials such as Vice Minister of Commerce Vasili Shpak, who argues that there is no longer a clear distinction Between the civil and the military. The official narrative line points to a future in which all technological innovation will be automatically usable for the war conflict. A photo of the Official Telegram Channel of Zarnitssa 2.0 Child Military Training Child involvement in these programs goes beyond technical learning. Here it seems Intensive archipelagowhich in its beginnings covered various sectors, and has been reconverted in an almost exclusively drone course. Includes exercises like Recognition, electronic evasion, drone launch from land stations or search for objectives with thermal cameras. In parallel, Berloga allied in 2024 with Zarnitssa 2.0the modern version of a Soviet military game. The program, financed with millions From rubles of the state budget, he has trained tens of thousands of schoolchildren between the ages of 7 and 21 In the use of weapons Compressed air, Wannera-47 rifles massers, drones flight and choice of military specialties such as Zapador, UAV operator or political instructor. Discrepancies. Some schools are They have complained that both students and teachers have been forced to participate. Zarnitsa It is managed For the Yunarmiya Youth Movement (Young Army), linked to the Ministry of Defense and that in 2025 will receive More than one billion of rubles in subsidies. For the Russian authorities, the objective It seems clear: Detect military talent from an early age and channel it to the defense industry. War pedagogy. There is much more, since research emphasizes that this mass and silent recruitment of minors for war purposes is being institutionalized with Explicit support of the Kremlin. Putin has ordered drone competitions for children since the age of 7, and new school subjects Centering national security include training with UAVs. The official goal is to achieve “technological sovereignty” by 2030, and today’s adolescents are expected to become the military operators of tomorrow. Officials such as the Deputy Minister of Education Dmitry Afanasyev defend The formation of children in military technology under the pretext that “there are no purely civil applications.” In His wordseven a agricultural drone operator You must have combat competitions, as in China. Thus, Russia is institutionalizing a war pedagogy where the child ceases to be a citizen in training and becomes an anticipated military resource. Rights of the … Read more

by

To exhaust products in minutes is something that Xiaomi has enough experience. More than a decade ago already They got it with their mobiles And currently your star product are cars; They recently sold 200,000 units of Xiaomi Yu7 in three minutes.

For the car. As we said, Xiaomi has promoted this new cat bag as an accessory for Xiaomi Yu7. The car has the possibility of activating a “pet mode” which consists in the installation of a camera in the rearview mirror that allows us to control pets and also has a speaker so that we can talk to them. In addition, by activating this mode the air conditioning continues to work so that they do not pass heat (or cold, it depends). It is not the only brand that offers something like that, others like Tesla either Mercedes They also have it. Pets like target. We have more and more pets and also They occupy a more privileged position in families. China does not get rid. To the current rhythm, it is expected that by the end of the decade Pets exceed children under 4 years. Given this, more and more technological companies that enter the growing segment of pets.
