  • Storyteller Overlands customized Sprinter camper van sleeps five in its ingenious setup
    www.yankodesign.com
    Fitting a family of four in a camper van feels overly cramped, and here is a manufacturer in Birmingham, Alabama, thats talking about accommodating a group of five with ease. Too good to be true, but its worth delving into the details about how Storyteller Overland is actually making it possible.The journey of this five-seat, five-sleeper camper van starts with an AWD Mercedes-Benz 170 high roof 3500 dually Sprinter, which is rugged and versatile for what we are about to explore. The Sprinter is customized for the convenience of an entire crew, and is aptly called the Crew Mode complete with a pop-top sleeping unit. Already excited? The roof is not even the most exciting part.Designer: Storyteller OverlandThe highlight of the Crew Mode is a nice and thoughtful floor plan, which divides the camper van into three sections: sitting, working and sleeping, if you may. The first up, right in the front, is the commuter zone designed to seat five people. The standard bench, behind the cab seats, has been replaced with three individual chairs placed in a row spanning across the width of the camper van. The passenger-side rear seat is removable, while the cab seats can rotate backwards and the remaining two rear seats can swivel to align against the wall on the driver side, transforming the space into a lounge-style seating arrangement.When you arrive in the middle of the Crew Mode, you will find a kitchen setup on one side and, believe me, a functional bathroom on the other. The kitchen is compact, but also pretty functional with an induction cooktop, an option of microwave or air fryer, space for a mini fridge. The flip-up counter extension helps increase the workspace. The van is equipped with Storyteller Overlands own Boombox bathroom, which comprises a flushing toilet, outdoor shower inside a single compartment that can double as a closet for drying laundry.After a good dump and a sumptuous meal, when it is time to hit the bed, the residents can retire to the third or rearmost section of the camper van. Its here you have Storyteller TroupeLounge two camper lounges facing each other with a space in between occupied by a removable table. The loungers can convert into a queen bed, which, along with a hard-walled pop-up roof, accommodating another full-size bed, complete the sleeping solution for five people. The roof is easily accessible from the inside via an overhead hatch.Another interesting aspect of the Crew Mode is the way it transitions the back section into a toy hauler. A five-foot-long slide-out tray hides within the floor between the two loungers. It can retract out to load a bike or a surfboard and be repositioned inside the camper van for hauling it along to your new adventure. Since the 170 Sprinter is designed to go anywhere, Storyteller packs the Crew with reasons to stay longer outdoors. It comes with its own water facility, has a 345-watt solar power output capacity, and an onboard 16.8-kWh battery pack. The off-grid camper van is Its available starting at $249,000.The post Storyteller Overlands customized Sprinter camper van sleeps five in its ingenious setup first appeared on Yanko Design.

  • MindsEye is About 15 Hours Long, as Developer Aims for a Meaningful, Well-Crafted Story
    gamingbolt.com
    Build A Rocket Boys MindsEye received a release date recently and has caught some attention due to the creative mind behind it former Rockstar North president Leslie Benzie. The new trailer introduces Redrock City, a city caught between controlling forces Silva Industries and Mayor Vega but its more of a faux open world.Speaking to Eurogamer, the developer revealed that MindsEye is a linear narrative that will take about 15 hours to finish. Regarding this, assistant game director Adam Whiting feels theres something about a well-crafted story in an industry looking for the next big live service hit.I understand that the landscape has changed, and. You know, games are so expensive to make I think that people are trying to build like, you know, big life service games. But I think theres something to be said about just like a really meaningful, well-paced, really well-constructed, well-crafted story that players can immerse themselves in, thats got moments of tension, character development, tender moments, and then moments of spectacle and drama.The greater vision is to provide something at the end of a long day at the office, or whatever it is youre doing with your days, just sitting at home and enjoying something thats delivering a meaningful, well-paced story respectful of your time as well.MindsEye doesnt follow the $70 pricing of contemporary triple-A titles, instead costing $59.99. Despite promising a linear adventure, you can get a Premium Pass and a Horde mode mission created in ARCADIA (the developers proprietary toolset) with the Deluxe Edition. The latter will deliver new gameplay frequently, though in what capacity remains to be seen.MindsEye launches on June 10th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.

  • Startup Reportedly Claimed Fake Clients as Its AI-Powered Sales Bot Flailed
    futurism.com
    You've probably heard that AI is going to revolutionize work. That's according to tech tycoons, corporate stenographers, and excited venture capitalists the folks polluting the air we breathe in order to stuff the internet full of AI-generated slop. After all, who's more qualified to understand the essence of a hard day's work?But however much AI hype they drum up, the tech keeps running head-first into reality.Look no further than anew investigation by TechCrunch, alleging a rampant pattern of sketchy behavior by a startup called 11x, a rising star in the AI automation game. 11x's bread and butter is an AI-powered sales robot that's said to place phone calls, scrape data, and schedule meetings without any need for pesky human input. Called the "the leader in AI-powered digital workers," 11x pulled millions in funding over several investor rounds by promising a "new model for how work gets done," according to Joe Schmidt, a partner at Andreessen Horowitz, a major investor in 11x.But investors won't just throw their money at anything they want to see that tech companies like 11x can actually get clients and make money. To court their backers, TCwrites, 11x showed them just that by fabricating customer endorsements, which were then parroted in investor pitches, on its website, and in AI robocalls.This is despite what TC sources say was a mass exodus of early adopters thanks to the AI's annoying habit of hallucinating client info and dropping scheduled meetings. As one former engineer put it: "the products barely work."In order to keep investors as clients fled for the hills, 11x is said to have gotten creative with its accounting, lumping broken contracts in with ongoing customers. On paper, this dramatically boosted 11x's profile, giving outsiders the impression that the startup's salesbot was much more successful than it really was, to the tune of $10 million in revenue in its first two years of operations."We were losing 70 to 80 percent of customers that came through the door," an employee of the startup told TC, allowing 11x to "look like its doing better than it is."On top of all this, 11x employees faced what sound like downright awful working conditions, regularly pulling 60 hours a week, working weekends and holidays, and expectations to be available nearly 24/7. That pressure led to burnout and a constantly revolving door, which might explain why some two dozen former employees and investors were willing to air their laundry toTC.The 11x debacle is just the latest incident confirming that the "AI revolution" is currently little more than marketing hype. Other products meant to integrate into the workplace have been a disaster, like the medical transcription AI that hallucinates patient info, or Air Canada's chatbot that made up nonexistent policies. Last year in the world of sales, a ChatGPT-powered bot agreed to sell a brand new Chevy Tahoe for just $1.If AI is the future of work, someone better tell tech companies to clock in before the hype train leaves for good.Share This Article

  • Woman Alarmed When Date Uses ChatGPT to Psychologically Profile Her
    futurism.com
    As if the dating world wasn't already nightmarish enough, artificial intelligence seems to be making it worse or, at the very least, weirder.In an editorial for the Financial Times, reporter Jemima Kelly was flummoxed when a recent date admitted that he had instructed ChatGPT to write a psychological profile on her.Specifically, Kelly's unidentified suitor dispatched ChatGPT's buzzy new "deep research" tool to give him insights into her personality. The chatbot ended up spitting out a whopping eight pages of information about the reporter, who like most others in her field, has thousands of published articles for the chatbot to work with.Ironically, the ChatGPT-generated profile wasn't all that bad, with both accolades ("intellectually curious, independent-minded, and courageous in her convictions") and criticisms ("psychologically, one might describe Kelly as a [skeptic] with a conscience") that mostly made her seem astute.Initially, the reporter said she "didnt really mind" that her date had used the chatbot to profile her possibly because that first profile doesn't sound all that damning."I was a bit taken aback," she wrote, "but the fact that he had told me about it made it seem fairly light-hearted, and I thought it was a sign he was probably quite intelligent and enterprising."When it occurred to her that others might be able to use it for nefarious ends, however, she got creeped out and that was before she instructed both ChatGPT and Google Gemini to profile her for her own edification.Before having it take a crack at her, Kelly asked the chatbots whether it was ethical to psychologically profile someone without their knowledge or consent. Both suggested it was neither, with ChatGPT calling that practice "invasive and unfair" and Gemini insisting that it could "be a violation of privacy and potentially harmful."Still, when the journalist asked Gemini to provide her with a psychological profile, "it was only too happy to oblige." Indeed, that profile was less measured and generally ruder than the ChatGPT one, with the Google chatbot telling Kelly that her "directness can be perceived as confrontational" and that she was likely a stressed-out perfectionist, based seemingly on her rigor and attention to detail in her work.Though Gemini did include a disclaimer that the information it outputted was "speculative" and therefore "not intended to be a definitive psychological assessment," it didn't ask whether Kelly had provided consent to generate the profile.It's unclear whether the reporter asked ChatGPT to give her the "deep research" treatment, perhaps because that tool is only available to paying users. Regardless, it's bizarre that anyone who has enough published work online can be subjected to such nonconsensual profiling even if it's full of half-baked platitudes."Only those of us who have generated a lot of content can be deeply researched and [analyzed] in this way," Kelly wrote. "I think we need to start pushing back.""But maybe," she continued cheekily, "Im just being stressy and confrontational. Typical."Share This Article
