"THE FUTURE IS ALREADY HERE — IT’S JUST NOT VERY EVENLY DISTRIBUTED" William Gibson
Sam Altman presented Sora 2 — a new version of OpenAI's AI video generator that amazed even the most sophisticated tech enthusiasts.
Now Sora 2 not only generates realistic videos up to 30 seconds long, but can also synchronize sound, speech, and visual effects in a single clip: voiceover, ambient sounds, live dialogue — all in automatic mode.

The telescope fish is a true visionary among deep-sea inhabitants.
This little one from the Giganturidae family lives at depths of up to 3,000 meters, where eternal night reigns. Its huge, tubular eyes look strictly upward — making it easier to spot the shadow or glowing silhouette of prey overhead.
The telescope fish can swallow prey twice its size: its jaws and stomach are incredibly expandable, which is crucial for survival in food-scarce conditions. And to prevent its dinner from lighting up the entire ocean, its stomach is like a black iron pot that doesn't let light through.
This fish looks like a tiny underwater supervillain — with transparent needle-like teeth, a ghostly body, and a gaze that pierces the deep darkness.

Red Bull built a giant ramp 70 meters high — equivalent to a 23-story building — and skateboarder Sandro Dias managed to ride down it, setting two world records: for height of descent and maximum speed on a skateboard (103.8 km/h).
The ramp was attached to the Centro Administrativo Fernando Ferrari building in Brazil, and the stunt itself has been called historic. Both records will be officially entered into the Guinness Book of World Records. Don't forget that Dias is already 50 years old! 🛹🏢

Google has launched the Search Live feature for all users in the United States! Now in the Google app for Android and iOS, you can ask a question by voice or immediately show an object to the camera to get an answer in real time.
Search Live can recognize objects, help with connecting devices, suggest recipes based on photos of ingredients, and instantly analyze everything around you. It currently works only in English, but expanding to other regions is just a matter of time. AI analyzes not only text but also visual context from the camera.

Chinese company Unitree released a new video featuring the G1 humanoid: it gets kicked from all sides — it falls down, gets back up, and takes another hit. The company calls this "anti-gravity mode."

At the NASCAR stage in Kansas, driver Zane Smith pulled off an incredible stunt: when his car got trapped between the wall and another vehicle, he drove several hundred meters literally on the vertical barrier at 200 mph!
The car flipped several times, but Smith exited the cockpit on his own and was uninjured.

Some turtles can survive a real "freeze" in icy water and even in ice during winter.
During such periods, they enter brumation — the reptilian version of hibernation. Their heartbeat slows down to one beat every few minutes. Metabolism drops almost to zero, turtles don't need food and practically don't breathe as they normally do, instead obtaining oxygen through their skin and even through the circulatory system in their cloaca.
When spring comes and the ice melts, the animals "wake up," begin to move more actively, and eliminate accumulated acids from their bodies.
Brumation is an amazing adaptation that protects turtles from death in frozen winter waters and allows them to survive extreme conditions.

The world's largest electronic blast was carried out at the Caval Ridge mine in Australia.
A single operation used 2,194 tons of explosives placed in 3,899 boreholes. The blast moved 4.7 million cubic meters of rock - a volume capable of filling nearly 2,000 Olympic swimming pools.
The blasting utilized Dyno Nobel DigiShot technology with fully programmable detonators, ensuring maximum precision and safe control of the process.
