ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS WITH SMARTPHONES

Imagine for a moment that ancient civilizations had smartphones. Instead of artistic carvings on stone or dusty manuscripts, the Mayans, pharaohs, and Roman emperors would have documented their daily lives with video selfies. What would their social media have looked like? What would Leonardo da Vinci have posted on his profile? And what if we had footage of the Titanic sinking, recorded by the passengers themselves?

Well, AI has done exactly that—recreating historical moments with mind-blowing realism, as if smartphones had always existed. From the Mayan civilization to the Victorian era, passing through the Roman Empire and Ancient Greece, these videos bring historical figures to life, capturing key moments through their own "cameras." Thomas Edison filming in his lab, the first woman to fly a plane sharing her achievement, or even the people of Pompeii recording their last day before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Beyond how fascinating and surreal these images are, this opens up a huge opportunity in education. Imagine learning history not through boring books full of dates and names but by seeing the people of the past tell their own stories firsthand. Not just reading about the Library of Alexandria but watching it in its prime. Not memorizing facts about the Persian Empire but listening to its own citizens narrate their history.

With technology like this, social sciences would no longer be that dull subject we used to hate. Instead, they’d become an immersive experience, capable of transporting students directly into the past. History told by the people who lived it, with a level of closeness we could only dream of before.

WALK, RUN, AND BREAKDANCE

In this video, Atlas, the crown jewel of Boston Dynamics, demonstrates policies developed through reinforcement learning, incorporating references from human motion capture and animation. This work was conducted as part of a research collaboration between Boston Dynamics and the Robotics and AI Institute (RAI Institute).

TRIBE OF WOMEN SHOPPING AT SPAR

walter
Watching a group of Black women, seemingly from a tribal community, walking around completely naked—apart from a small loincloth—through the well-lit aisles of a SPAR supermarket feels surreal. Like National Geographic suddenly crashing into your local grocery store.
A scene that, in their context, might be the most natural thing in the world, but through Western eyes it triggers an instant brain glitch.

It’s a brutal reminder that what we call “normal” is just one version of many. And that there are places where the body isn’t hidden—it’s simply lived. Funny thing is, you’re not even sure what shocks you more: the nudity itself, or seeing it in a setting that, to you, plays by totally different rules.

HOW THEY'RE MADE

You see them every day, silently waiting for you to choose. You approach them, size them up, take a deep breath, and pick the ones that motivate you the most—and from that moment, there’s no turning back. They’re part of your daily routine, helping you grow stronger and push your limits. But behind these workout companions you grip so firmly lies a story you've never imagined. Have you ever wondered how they're made, or how they come into existence?

ARMORED QUAD

If weapons didn’t exist, this wouldn’t be necessary. But since they do, we have to build something that can withstand them. And so we keep going—always one step ahead, or maybe just one step back.
It begs the question: are we really progressing, or just caught in an endless cycle of attack and defense?

ABU DHABI POLICE ARE ALREADY LIVING IN 2050

Abu Dhabi Police just unveiled their latest patrol vehicle at Gitex Global 2024, and it looks like something straight out of the future: the Magnum MK1, an autonomous, armored, drone-equipped 4x4.

This cutting-edge vehicle is primarily electric but also has hybrid petrol support. It can reach speeds up to 150 km/h, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds, and is bulletproof against ammunition up to 7.62 mm. It carries three officers and securely transports one detainee in a specially designed internal cell.

Among its most advanced features are integrated systems for audio, video, and vital-sign monitoring, autonomous off-road navigation, radio and cellular communication capabilities, surveillance drones, infrared cameras providing 360-degree vision, specialized lighting, advanced geolocation, anti-jamming protection, and even an internal workstation with a panoramic screen to manage operations directly from the vehicle.

This futuristic patrol car will be fully manufactured in Abu Dhabi and is expected to hit the roads officially by 2028—a real leap into the future for Emirati law enforcement.
