    Formula E: High Voltage Is a Fun Play-to-Earn Racer That Needs a Roadmap

    Formula E: High Voltage puts a strategic twist on racing games, elevating the genre’s competitive nature with play-to-earn functionality. It’s a fun browser-based game with a unique vibe, though the lack of in-game direction and tutorials may slow your roll as you get started. You might be familiar with Formula 1 with stars like Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, but Formula E is the eco-friendly spin on the sport, opting for electric batteries rather than 1.6-litre V6 turbocharged engines.

    Meet the Company That’s Helping Governments Detect AI Deepfakes

    If you believe what you see on the internet, you might think that President Biden has called for a national draft, and both men and women will be selected to fight the war in Ukraine. But it’s actually a lie perpetrated by a malicious deepfake video creator. Ill-intended actors use artificial intelligence to create videos that impersonate politicians, celebrities, and notable figures. At its least harmful, we get goofy and obviously faked footage of what sounds like U.S. presidents playing Minec...

    AI Raves in the Metaverse Are a Thing—Here's What It's Like Inside

    "Wait, so it's a metaverse thing? Fuck me!" So exclaimed a member of The Ned—an exclusive hotel with an annual fee of £3,465—to the door host before stumbling into a private bar opposite. I'm not sure if he was excited by the prospect of a metaverse rave or offended by it. I wasn’t sure either. Behind the doorman was a bank vault with the door swung open, as the thudding of techno leaked into the lobby. I soon entered a room lined with steel deposit boxes; this place used to be a real bank year...

    What's Stopping Fortnite and Call of Duty From Using the Same Items? It's Not Just NFTs

    Did you just unbox a Butterfly Knife in Counter-Strike 2? You'd probably love to bring that over to Call of Duty: Warzone—but you can’t. Are NFTs the answer? Getting game creators to embrace a decentralized ecosystem of interoperable items might be part of the path forward, but it's not a silver bullet solution. There is a divide on what the future of gaming will look like. One camp believes that interoperability is the next revolution in gaming, with NFTs serving as the vehicle to enable unique...

    How to Become an On-Chain Analyst: The Top Skills You Need

    Analysis is common across all sectors, including traditional finance, but crypto analysts have unique data to work with. While price prediction is a key part of on-chain analysis, people will also use on-chain data to assess economic risks, such as whether a whale holds a large portion of a token’s liquidity or technical risks like exposure to a hack. On-chain sleuths also use on-chain analysis to catch scammers, fraudsters, and other bad actors—ZachXBT is a popular example of this. Interested i...

    European Investors More Bullish on Crypto Than American, Says CoinShares Report

    A new CoinShares report suggests that there is a "divergence in sentiment from a regional perspective" when investing in cryptocurrencies. This divergence is especially clear when comparing investors based in Europe with those in the United States, likely due to the stark regulatory differences between each region, reads the report. "As a U.S. investor, the recent regulatory crackdown from the SEC is very close to home, and has had a definite impact on sentiment," James Butterfill, Head Of Resea...

    It's been 12 years since the last Elder Scrolls game came out. Indeed, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim launched on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The next game will be "designed with longevity in mind so that people can pla...

    AI Is Racist, Experts Say. Here's Why

    Artificial intelligence systems are being embedded with racist tendencies, causing machines to replicate human biases, experts warn. And as AI adoption soars, it could run the risk of perpetuating racial imbalance through a tool many believe will help advance civilization. In a recently deleted BuzzFeed article, the author used AI image generation tool Midjourney to create depictions of Barbie dolls from different countries—and the results weren't well received.
