ChatGPT continues to take the internet by storm. Artificial intelligence, which has been utilized for tasks such as writing code, books, and screenplays, has assisted people and institutions in numerous ways. Now, it appears that artificial intelligence is also making its mark on the gaming industry. Chinese video game companies are eagerly integrating artificial intelligence-generated content (AIGC) into their operations. Several developers and publishers, including NetEase and miHoYo, have expressed interest in hiring AIGC talent or investing in the technology. Here are the details…

Chinese Video Game Companies Embrace AI-Generated Content

Over a dozen gaming companies have advertised for AIGC-related roles on online job platforms like Liepin.com and Boss Zhipin. Positions range from engineers and researchers to art designers, with salaries reaching up to 1.1 million yuan per year. Chinese gaming companies such as TapTap, Giant Network, and Kunlun Tech are joining the AI bandwagon, and some have already begun applying AIGC to their products.

For example, NetEase plans to integrate a ChatGPT-like service into its upcoming mobile game, Justice Online. Though Tencent, NetEase, and miHoYo had established AI labs as early as 2016, the ChatGPT phenomenon has accelerated efforts to implement AIGC in the gaming industry. AIGC is expected to greatly impact game development, design, animation production, and more. However, analysts maintain that AI cannot replace the creative aspect of human thinking.

As gaming companies increasingly adopt AI technologies, some content creators are concerned about potential job losses. Dash Huang Yimeng, founder and chairman of XD Inc, revealed that two gaming studios recently replaced outsourced art design and translation teams with AI.Despite these concerns, industry experts predict that AIGC will continue to gain traction in the gaming world, with companies eager to capitalize on the latest AI advancements.

Amazon is being sued for Biometric Tracking at Go stores in New York

Mar 20, 2023

Amazon is apparently being sued over allegations of biometric tracking in New York from its Go stores. The company is facing a proposed class action lawsuit that is accusing the company of failing to inform customers at its cashierless Go stores.

For those unaware, New York city passed a law in 2021 that required businesses to post signs of whether they are collecting customer’s biometric information. This includes the likes of facial scans and fingerprints. Amazon Go stores basically let’s shoppers choose whatever product hey want off of shelves and simply walk out. All one requires is to scan a code from the Amazon app with a connected credit card.

Thus, the e-commerce giant is now being sued by Alfredo Alberto Rodriguez Perez who is arguing that the Go stores are making great use of the customer’s biometric data “by canning [their palms] to identify them and by applying computer vision, deep learning algorithms, and sensor fusion that measure the shape and size of each customer’s body to identify customers, track where they move in the stores, and determine what they have purchased.”

The lawsuit document argues that the Go stores only put up signs regarding this biometric tracking process over a year after the lay was officially passed. Some Go stores also utilize biometric data via Amazon One. This basically uses palm based identity and initiates payment service. When signing up for this service, the company claims that it will not be collecting their biometrics. However, “Amazon Go stores do collect biometric identifier information on every single customer, including information on the size and shape of every customers body,” as per the complaint.

Huawei launched its first foldable back in 2019 and is now ready to unveil its fourth generation of foldable display smartphones with the Huawei Mate X3 on March 23. The handset will share the stage with the flagship Huawei P60 series as well as several other products. Huawei has been close-lipped about the upcoming foldable but an industry expert recently revealed a few of its display specifications. Here are the details.

According to Ross Young, the CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), Huawei’s upcoming foldable, the Mate X3, will feature a display of 7.85 inches, which is 0.15 inches smaller than its predecessor, the Mate X2. However, the diagonal size of the outer cover display will remain unchanged at 6.45 inches.

Furthermore, Young revealed that the Mate X3 will be the first Huawei smartphone to incorporate Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) technology. It is touted to offer better durability and scratch resistance compared to the plastic-based foldable displays that are currently used in many foldable smartphones out there. The Mate X3’s foldable screens are reported to be produced by China’s BOE.

Previously, it has been reported that the smartphone will offer a 2K resolution and feature the aging Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC under the hood. However, the device will likely be using a 4G version of the chipset as Huawei has been barred from using 5G technology. It could pack a 4,800mAh battery with 66W fast charging support.

The rear camera module of the device will likely be led by a 50MP Sony IMX766 camera, assisted by a Sony IMX688 ultra-wide lens, and an IMX351 periscope zoom camera. Huawei Mate X3 will run the company’s own HarmonyOS 3 software out of the box.

Mar 20, 2023

Honda has revealed its latest innovation, the third-generation Autonomous Work Vehicle (AWV), at the CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023 in Las Vegas. The all-electric, fully programmable AWV leverages Honda’s advanced autonomous technology to support construction activities, improve worksite efficiency, and address labor shortages in the industry. Here are the details…

Honda reveals all-electric autonomous off-road work vehicle

The AWV is designed to operate autonomously or manually via remote control, offering a wide range of services in environments where workforce constraints make other solutions impractical. Jason VanBuren, systems engineering manager at American Honda Motor Co., expressed the company’s intention to collaborate with businesses interested in field testing the vehicle at their worksites. Key features of the third-generation Honda AWV include:

Increased bed size and loading capacity of 2 pallets and 2,000 pounds, respectively.
Improved navigation using LiDAR sensors in areas with weak or unavailable GNSS service.
Simplified tablet-based programming interface and cloud connectivity.
Higher speed in autonomous mode, reaching up to 10 mph (16 kph).
Increased battery size, providing an operating time of up to 10 hours.
Enhanced avoidance function for vehicles stopped on road.
Lower bed for easier loading and improved ergonomics.

The AWV employs a suite of sensors, including GPS for location, radar and lidar for obstacle detection, and cameras for remote monitoring. Previous field tests have demonstrated the AWV’s ability to transport and deliver construction materials and supplies at precise points along a pre-set route. Honda utilizes common components from its automobiles and other products to optimize the AWV’s mobility technologies.

With the commercialization of the AWV in mind, Honda is actively seeking partners to participate in field testing, improve functions, and enhance services. The company is particularly interested in partnerships related to product distribution, aftermarket sales, and the development of software and attachments. By tapping into Honda’s decades of experience in developing safe, reliable, and clean mobility technology, the AWV has the potential to revolutionize the construction industry and reshape how work is carried out at job sites.

Mar 20, 2023

Apple is getting ready to launch the iPhone 15 series later this year. But it seems that the value of the first gen iPhone is still much higher than any of its current iterations, with the latest auctions for the original iPhone brought bids that crossed a whopping 50,000 US Dollars.

Previously, we had reported on a first gen iPhone model that was still in the box selling for over 63,000 US Dollars, marking a sales record for this smartphone model. Now, another original iPhone model that is still factory sealed saw an auction bids hit 55,000 US Dollars. In the past, there have also been unopened original iPhones that sold for 35,000 US Dollars and 39,000 US Dollars.

In other words, the value of the nearly 16 year old phone is continuing to rise even now. This trend isn’t just true for the Cupertino based giant’s smartphones but also some of its older products as well. This includes an “undiscovered” Apple-1 computer that was auctioned off for an unspecified but high sum. There was even an iPhone 11 model that sold for nearly 4,000 US Dollars since it was signed by Apple CEO Tim Cook.

Similarly, technical instructions from Steve Jobs (Founder of Apple) was sold for around 12,500 US Dollars while his business card was sold for a hefty sum of 6,188 US Dollars as well. The factory sealed iPhone that is being sold was owned by an Apple employee that got the device by working in the company. However, he already bought an iPhone back in 2007 so the spare model was never opened. And now, its value has sky rocketed over the original price tag.
