Video games are one of the most popular forms of entertainment, and the gaming industry has been growing exponentially year over year. The games are played by everyone, regardless of age group, but it is often seen that parents are asking their children not to spend too much time playing them.
The main reason behind this is that the children might get addicted to them and play for long hours, or it might affect their overall growth. This isn’t limited to parents, as several other self-acclaimed “experts” have been labeling video games as something that ruins children’s minds. However, one expert has said that games are actually beneficial for children.

Grimes believes Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg will face off in the ring.
The Canadian musician is on the new cover of Wired, and in the issue she weighed in on the proposed cage match fight between her ex, the Tesla CEO, and the Facebook mogul.

Asked if she thinks the fight will actually happen, Grimes said, “I think so. Elon is very strong, but Zuck seems like he’s been training a ton.”
In June, Musk called for a cage match with Zuckerberg, who has been public about training and competing in Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournaments.
The fight is still up in the air, but it is tentatively scheduled for August 26 at UFC Apex in Nevada.
“I would prefer that it didn’t happen,” Grimes said of the fight.

San Francisco, June 27 (Ians) DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis has said that google-owned artificial intelligence (AI) company is working on a new AI system named ‘Gemini’ which will be more capable than that behind OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
According to Hassabis, the engineers are using techniques from the AI programme AlphaGo — which was the first to defeat a champion human player of the board game Go — to make Gemini, reports Wired.
Gemini is still in development and is a large language model (Llm) that works with text and is similar to Gpt-4, which powers ChatGPT.
“At a high level you can think of Gemini as combining some of the strengths of AlphaGo-type systems with the amazing language capabilities of the large models,” Hassabis said.
“We also have some new innovations that are going to be pretty interesting.”
This new AI system was first teased at Google’s developer conference last month,...

New Delhi, April 21 (Ians) Alarmed at the success of Microsoft-owned OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai has created a unit that will help the company build more capable AI systems safely and responsibly.
This group, called ‘Google DeepMind’, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind.
“Their collective accomplishments in AI over the last decade span AlphaGo, Transformers, word2vec, WaveNet, AlphaFold, sequence to sequence models, distillation, deep reinforcement learning, and distributed systems and software frameworks like TensorFlow and Jax for expressing, training and deploying large scale Ml models,” Pichai explained in a blog post late on Thursday.
As CEO of Google DeepMind, Demis Hassabis will lead the development of the most capable and responsible general AI systems — research that will help power the next generation of Google products and services.

The Breakthrough Prize ceremony, which honors “scientists changing the world” with sizable cash prizes, came to Hollywood for the first time on Saturday night, having previously been held in San Francisco — and the world’s top innovators were surrounded by more stars than one can see in a telescope.
The ninth edition of the event — which was founded and is financially supported by Sergey Brin, Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg, Julia Milner and Yuri Milner and Anne Wojcicki, and has come to be known as “the Oscars of science” — took place on the open-air roof of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
James Corden hosted, as has been the case in previous years; presenters included Kristen Bell, Lily Collins, Danny DeVito, Robert Downey Jr. (alongside Zuckerberg), Gal Gadot, Ashton Kutcher, Brie Larson, Edward Norton, Leslie Odom Jr., Chris Pine and Chloe Zhao; John Legend and will.i.am performed; and audience members included Christina Aguilera,...

Westworld showrunners talk development of AI technology, and how it might be better than our "artificial stupidity."
Westworld does not promise a happy future. Set in a distant but tangible tomorrow where everything is synthetic—and luxury is to feign Old West grit—the HBO series predicts a destiny where the best case scenario is we get replaced by the more humane AI we create. Even so, as we stand on the edge of learning exactly what kind of world would invent that AI in Westworld Season 3 (or “Westworld III”), series showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy seem more comfortable than ever with their science fiction dystopia becoming our reality. Hence why the world beyond the park looks so inviting to Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood). Like stars scattered across the ground.
“I like to say that when we started, Westworld was a dystopia,” Nolan says during the...

When he was 11 years old, Demis Hassabis was the second highest-rated chess player in the world for his age. His parents had taken him out of school to practice and focus on the game. During a tournament in Liechtenstein, he matched the Danish chess champion move-for-move for over ten hours of competitive play. They then spent four hours in a near-stalemate. Finally, Hassabis resigned, at which point the champion showed him the move he might have made to continue the match. The young Demis had an epiphany.
“It made me think, ‘Are we wasting our minds?’” he told Kirsty Young of BBC Radio decades later. “At that level of chess, they’re all fantastically smart people. What if we used that brain power for something more useful, like solving cancer or curing some disease?” Hassabis told his parents he wanted something more than to excel at a single game.
