  • 10 World Champions React To Jake Paul Vs. Mike Tyson Results
    www.forbes.com
    ARLINGTON, TEXAS - NOVEMBER 15: Mike Tyson (in black short) and Jake Paul (in silver short) exchange ... [+] punches during their heavyweight world titles of the Premiere Boxing Championship on Friday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, United States on November 15, 2024. (Photo by Tayfun Coskun/Anadolu via Getty Images)Anadolu via Getty ImagesAlmost no one enjoyed Mike Tysons unanimous decision loss to Jake Paul, but nearly everyone is happy the 58-year-old boxing icon didnt get hurt in the fight.Paul admitted to taking it easy on Tyson, saying he didnt want to hurt someone who didnt need to be hurt. The viewership was off the charts, but unfortunately, Netflixs server strength wasnt up to snuff.Still, as you might expect, fighters from boxing and MMA flooded social media with reactions to the fight.Reigning PFL and Bellator womens featherweight champion Cris Cyborg posted an image of Tyson to pay homage to the legend despite his losing effort on Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.Former welterweight boxing champion Andre Berto idolizes Tyson, and he admitted it was a tough watch seeing his idol look vulnerable.Former super welterweight champion Sergio Mora seemed to imply watching Jake Paul box circles around Tyson made him feel dirty.MORE FOR YOUFormer super lightweight champion Regis Prograis showed concern for Tyson as Paul landed a few whacking combinations during the eight-round fight.Former IBF super welterweight champion Raul Marquez never thought Tyson, at 58, had a chance, and he was right.Gervonta Davis had harsh criticism for Paul. Talksports Michael Benson captured this from Davis story on Instagram.Ryan Garcia hasnt won a world title, but it feels like he has. I also cut him slack because he hasnt had the best year regarding social media posts. However, this one was solid, and very few people will disagree with this take.If youve been entertained by Oscar De La Hoyas Clapback Thursday social media series, youll probably love this weeks episode.Terence Crawford is an admitted Tyson fan, but he didnt cut the legend much slack in this harsh critique of the 58-year-olds performance.Playfully, PFL SuperFights Champion Francis Ngannou says he has a bone to pick with Paul the next time he sees him.Tyson looked like an in-shape 58-year-old fighting an in-shape 27-year-old. Considering that, even if you didnt see the fight, you have a good idea of how it went.The first two rounds of the fight, which lasted eight two-minute rounds, were mildly competitive. Paul seemed cautious from the start, which appeared to be more about his concern for Tyson than worry about him getting starched by his opponents power.Paul was never in danger at any point in the fight, and while he landed a few hooks and straights on Tyson, the latter never looked too phased.When Tyson slowed the pace dramatically, Paul followed suit and tried to do just enough to keep the fans from going into an uproar.After the fight, Tyson told Ariel Helwani he believes he will fight again.He playfully named Logan Paul as a potential opponent, to which Logan responded, Id kill you. That remark didnt go over well with the crowd as it seemed a bit harsheven in jest.Helwani mentioned Canelo Alvarez as a potential opponent for Jake, but the latter said he wouldnt call him out because the Mexican legend needs him.While its likely true that Canelo will make more money fighting Paul than he would against anyone, it is still a stretch to say that he needs anyone.Lets hope Pauls next opponent is an active boxer with experience and some decent name recognition.

    techreport.com
    Key TakeawaysA popular WordPress security plugin called Really Simple Security has a major flaw that allows attackers to bypass authentication.With a threat score of 9.8/10, this flaw allows attackers to enter a site as administrators, with full access to make any changes they want.The flaw is yet to be fixed but another WordPress security plugin called Wordfence has been blocking as many attacks as it can.A newly discovered vulnerability in a popular WordPress security plugin has put over 4 million websites at risk.The plugin is called Really Simple Security which was initially launched as Really Simple SSL in 2015. Its initial purpose was simple it would allow you to Migrate your WordPress site to HTTPS/SSL.Later, it was developed into a full-fledged security solution that protected websites against external attacks, offered two-factor authentication, detected flaws, and generated SSL certificates.The reason why this plugin was so popular among website owners is because it was lightweight. You could choose which security functions you wanted for your site and the rest would be disabled in a way that they wont even load and slow your website.And so far, it has had amazing reviews as well. More than 97% of the reviews in the WordPress repository are five stars and only 1% of the reviews are rated 1 star.After offering such flawless performance during the year, the plugin was hit by a major flaw that is affecting all its versions from 9.0.0 to 9.1.1.1.This flaw allows any user to log in as an administrator and get full access to the site including site-level permissions. All that the attacker has to do is have the username of the particular user they are trying to log in as.This kind of flaw is called an Unauthenticated Access Vulnerability one of the most severe kinds of vulnerability that has been assigned a threat score of 9.8 out of 10.If an attacker successfully manages to compromise a site, the consequences can be huge. They might inject malware into it and attack all the users that come in contact or steal user data and spread harmful content.Wordfence, another security plugin for WordPress has also addressed the issue. Explaining the reason behind this vulnerability, it said that its likely caused by improper user check error handling in the two-factor REST API actions with the check_login_and_get_user function.In the meantime, the plugin has also blocked 310 such attacks in the last 24 hours and has urged users of Really Simple Security to update to the 9.1.2 version or higher.Add Techreport to Your Google News Feed Get the latest updates, trends, and insights delivered straight to your fingertips.

  • Anthropic CEO Says Human-level AI Models Might Arrive By 2026
    techreport.com
    Key TakeawaysIn a podcast interview with AI influencer Lex Fridman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said that human-level AI might be here by 2026.However, he also warned that a human-level AI needs to be handled with care one wrong move can lead to catastrophic damage.In a podcast on Monday, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that a future with human-level AIs is not far away. In fact, it might happen as soon as 2026.The podcast was hosted by AI influencer Lex Fridman where Amodei was invited for an interview that went on for 5 hours. A lot of interesting topics were discussed, starting from Anthropics upcoming project to the timeline for superintelligent models and so on.Note: Human-level AIs basically refer to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) which many companies like OpenAI are already working on. AGI is a new state in which an AI model will be as competent as a human in every field.Comparing the progress in the AI industry to different education levels, Amodei said that the development is too rapid. Just last year we were at the undergraduate level, and the year before that we were at the high school level but this year, its safe to say that we are at the PhD level.At that pace, its safe to say that human-level AIs will reach us sooner than expected.Consequences of a Human-level AIAmodei warned that the early arrival of human-level AIs is not necessarily a good thing.Things that are powerful can do good things, and they can do bad things. With great power comes great responsibility. Anthropic CEO Dario AmodeiHe also echoed the same concerns that many of us have had for a while now AI can turn evil and cause mass destruction.He said that throughout history, the correlation between high intelligence and the urge to cause destruction has been small. In simple terms, when a smart person turns evil, they are capable of causing much severe destruction.But throughout the history of humankind, there have been very few people who are intelligent and well-educated and still commit crimes.However, Amodei believes that this correlation will not hold true with AI. These machines are super intelligent but theres no sign yet that they can develop conscience. They also lack human traits like sympathy, empathy, and a moral sense of right and wrong. It is also not bothered by consequences like jail time, death penalty, or social ostracization.And without all this, nothing stops an AI machine from causing destruction once it turns evil.How Can AI Turn Evil?Some of you might think how will an AI turn evil? Well, it wont be anything like what science fiction movies have shown us. These models will not automatically develop a mind of their own one day and decide to torture us humans.However, there are many people with malicious intent who might try to manipulate these powerful systems to fulfill their own selfish greed. We are already seeing people use AI to create deepfakes and porn.But lets not get too ahead of ourselves and worry about things that are not here yet. This is just a prediction and a lot can go wrong that can delay this predicament.For instance, companies might run out of datasets to train their models, geopolitical tension might hamper the production of AI chips or there might be a lack of energy to support such high-level AI models.AI computing will also become more costly as the industry scales up which might make it difficult for most companies to pursue such ambitious projects.Add Techreport to Your Google News Feed Get the latest updates, trends, and insights delivered straight to your fingertips.

  • As Half-Life 2 turns 20, Valve celebrates with a free to download weekend, new Episode 3 footage reveal
    www.techspot.com
    What just happened? Valve is celebrating Half-Life 2's 20th anniversary with a massive update, a temporary free giveaway of the full game, and a bundle including the two episodic expansions and new developer commentary. Additionally, a two-hour YouTube documentary sheds light on the canceled third expansion, revealing new details for fans. If you're one of the few Steam users who still doesn't own Half-Life 2, now is your chance to add Valve's blockbuster first-person shooter to your library permanently for free until November 18. The bundle also includes both follow-up episodes, plus the game has received a major update in celebration of its 20th anniversary.The patch doesn't overhaul the game's graphics to the extent of the upcoming RTX Remix mod, but it brings dozens of bug fixes, minor enhancements, and new features.Newly added Steam Workshop support makes it easier for players to discover and install the countless mods created for Half-Life 2 over the years. Players can now select the "Lost Coast" chapter directly from the game's main menu, and the developer commentary feature previously introduced in the episodic expansions is now integrated into the base game, with three and a half hours of new audio.The update also revises visual elements like lighting, grass, HDR effects, and draw distances. Additionally, menus and the HUD add support for various ultrawide aspect ratios and gamepad configurations. For those seeking nostalgia, players can toggle the lighting and effects from the game's original 2004 release.Meanwhile, Valve has released hours of archival footage on YouTube chronicling the development of Half-Life 2 and its episodes. Among the topics covered, the canceled Episode 3 is likely to be the most intriguing for fans. The documentary provides the first official details on the expansion in years.Through new footage and concept art, Valve reveals that Episode 3 would have largely taken place in the Arctic and introduced an ice gun. The developers confessed they could have easily shipped Episode 3 but ultimately didn't due to a lack of fresh ideas that could meet the company's quality standards. However, a group of fans is currently developing a free campaign inspired by a draft of Episode 3's plot, which series writer Marc Laidlaw published in 2017. // Related StoriesOther new videos include demonstrations from Siggraph 2000, E3 2002, and E3 2003. Valve also announced an expanded reprint of Raising the Bar, the book documenting Half-Life 2's development, which has been out of print since 2004. The second edition includes newly uncovered concept art from the three episodes.In tandem with Valve's celebrations, Nvidia has joined the festivities by unveiling a custom Half-Life 2-themed GeForce RTX 4080 Super graphics card. This GPU is designed to showcase the upcoming RTX Remix mod, which will add real-time path tracing and updated textures to the game. Fans can enter a contest on Nvidia's website to win the card, and the upcoming mod now has its own Steam page.

  • Netflixs Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight hit with severe technical glitches
    www.digitaltrends.com
    Netflix has been hyping up the Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul boxing match for months as one of the biggest streaming events in the companys history. But if tonights performance is any indication of what Netflixs sports streaming will look like, then the company is in trouble. From the start, the live stream has been hit with severe technical glitches, loss of sound, and very slow feeds during reload attempts.The only good news so far is that Netflix hasnt completely crashed. The glitch-filled performance suggests that Netflix successfully drew a large audience to stream the fight. But this isnt the first time that Netflixs streaming capabilities have been severely strained during a live broadcast. Fans on social media have been extremely vocal with their displeasure.Recommended VideosThings are going bad to worse. #netflix #tysonpaul pic.twitter.com/sjJutpr1Zq Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) November 16, 2024RelatedAs of the writing of this post, the main event hasnt started. So theres still a chance that Netflix can salvage the broadcast if the Tyson versus Paul bout isnt interrupted by any of these technical problems. But given the way that the evening has already gone, that seems unlikely.This calls into question Netflixs ability to pivot to live sports, including this years NFL Christmas games. And while WWE wrestling is not a sport, Netflix has also committed a large amount of money to begin streaming WWE Raw beginning in January 2025. That sports entertainment broadcast is regularly two to three hours long, and doesnt have these kinds of problems on USA Network. If Netflix cant figure out its live-streaming issues before Raw premieres, then the backlash from tonights Paul versus Tyson fight will pale in comparison.Editors Recommendations
