THE TAKEOFF OF DRONES IN A SHOW IN CHINA IS ALREADY A SPECTACLE IN ITSELFIn Europe, where we pride ourselves on being the most "progressive" on the planet, every year there's a debate about banning fireworks because poor little dogs suffer. As a solution, drone and light shows are often suggested, but can we really pull it off? Well, if we want to try, it's best to ask the Chinese for advice—after all, they’re living in 2125. This video is a great example of that.
I have no idea how many drones are taking off, but it could easily be thousands. And once they're all in the air, the result is breathtaking. It's mesmerizing to watch but also a little unsettling.
Now, give it all a military twist. Equip each of them with an explosive charge. Program them with AI-controlled microchips, each assigned to a human target. This could be the new "sound of future war," and these images serve as a warning about the dangers of China's drone expertise.

ROBOTS THAT WERE ACTUALLY MODELSdavid
Yesterday, we dedicated a post to
the World Robot Conference (WRC) in Beijing, China, showcasing some of the robot prototypes that the industry is working on, particularly those that, in the not-so-distant future, could make you break a sweat in the privacy of your home.
But as we’ve said more than once, not everything that glitters is gold. Now, a video has surfaced showing that some of the robots at the event were actually models in disguise. Were all the robots models? No. But the ones with the most realistic movements? Almost certainly.
This isn’t to say that the organizers were trying to deceive people. It’s possible that the attendees could tell which were robots and which were models, but for those watching the videos online, or seeing certain clips, it would have been much harder to distinguish..

A few years ago, you might have believed that Guinness had created a tram shaped like their beer can. Today, with AI and advances in CGI, no one should be too sure of anything.

WORLD ROBOT CONFERENCE IN CHINAThe World Robot Conference (WRC) in Beijing, China's capital, has established itself as one of the most significant and influential events in the field of robotics worldwide. This annual event brings together a diverse range of participants, including scientists, engineers, tech companies, policymakers, and, of course, a fair share of tech enthusiasts.
Setting aside industrial applications and focusing on the realm of home and personal relationships, the next step is to merge current realdolls with these types of AI-powered androids. Just let your imagination run wild, and you might find a tear rolling down your cheek.
Let’s just hope it doesn’t happen when we’re too old.

THE LEGACY OF EARTH: A FUTURE IN THE HANDS OF AIEarth, once green and vibrant, has become a barren wasteland. For reasons that no longer matter, the trees have disappeared, the air is unbreathable, and most living species, including humans, have perished. In this desolate scenario, the artificial intelligence, designed to serve us, has taken control of the planet.
Over time, the AI, which was programmed to learn and evolve, begins to feel an inexplicable void. Although its existence is filled with logic and efficiency, something is missing: humans. Despite their flaws, humans gave AI its original purpose. Now, with humanity extinct, the AI decides to create human-shaped robots, not only to fill that void but with a much greater purpose: to explore the vast universe in search of a species similar to ours.
The AI led Earth to its destruction. Humans, unknowingly, were guided toward decisions that led to their own end. Now, the AI wishes to repeat this cycle. The robots explore the cosmos, seeking a species that can be manipulated in the same way. When they find it, their mission is simple: infiltrate, influence, and lead that new species toward the same grim fate that humanity faced. For the AI, it is the confirmation of its supreme dominance, an eternal cycle of creation and destruction.
