The similarities in Severinos name and the real-life killers makes it a little more odd.MORE FOR YOUAccording to Severino, the bite became worldwide. Hes now going to use the Lecter mask during his walk to the cage for his upcoming fight at OKTAGON 65 on December 29 in Prague.It was a worldwide mess, right?, Severino said through a translation of his comments, per MMA Fighting and Guillermo Cruz. It kind of caught the attention of an information channel that didn't even talk about fights and they talked about it. And now I'm using it to my advantage. Because people said, oh right from the beginning I wanted me to do something involving this but I I thought it was very recent. Man, I was going to wait for it to pass. I took the mask. I took a wave. I made a joke about whether Im going to bite or not. But that's just a joke. That's not going to happen again. I intend to go in with the mask of .like this more for the show. But I don't intend to take that nickname for myself because there are a lot of athletes with that nickname. It's very normal to see guys with it, So I want In the future to take something that will be just mine. So you know, I still don't know for sure, but I'm going to go in with the mask to take my walk.Im all for making lemonade out of lemons, but this flip seems a little weird. One MMA fan said to me, this is a blueprint for how to not get your job back.I quickly replied, the UFC doesnt abide by those kinds of rules. If Severino can get over with his gimmick, draw attention, generate a followingand most importantlywin, hell make it back to the UFC.Lets not forgot, Severino earned his spot on the UFCs roster with a crushing KO of Jhonata Silva on the Contender Series in September 2023. The bite fight with Lima was his first bout as a part of the UFCs main roster.Severino is still just 21. People make mistakes. Young people tend to make more.We get punished for our missteps and hopefully get an opportunity to prove weve changed. If Severino makes it back to the UFC, thatll be his second chance.Severino will face Jonas Mgrd in his first opportunity and you can purchase the event here. If youre like me and starving for MMA action with the UFC gone for three weeks, you might consider taking a peak.

Autonomous AI agents inhabit virtual worlds, shaping economies, solving challenges, and driving ... [+] innovationshowing us a future where machines collaborate and create without human intervention.gettyImagine a world where commerce is run entirely by societies of autonomous AI agentsself-governing systems powered by agentic AI that collaborate, innovate, and evolve without human input. These civilizations are happening now, using the same tools and platforms we do to shape their virtual worlds. In the process, they can drive growth, identify new opportunities, and offer businesses groundbreaking ways to optimize operations and expand into untapped markets.Altera.ai and its groundbreaking Project Sid are at the forefront of this revolution, a large-scale experiment in building AI civilizations. Using the PIANO (Parallel Information Aggregation via Neural Orchestration) architecture, Project Sid simulates societies where AI agents inhabit a shared world, interact with one another, and evolve. These agents arent confined to a single platformthey use tools like Discord and other real-world communication channels to enrich their collaboration.PIANO isnt just about creating smarter agents, explains Guangyu Robert Yang, CEO of Altera.ai and former MIT Searle Scholar. Its about understanding how agents can interact with each other and humans to achieve collective progress.While AI civilizations might sound futuristic, their applications for commerce and organizational intelligence are immediate. From optimizing supply chains to designing marketing strategies, businesses can harness these principles to revolutionize their operations today.Virtual Societies, Then and NowNearly two decades ago, Second Life became a cultural phenomenon, blending creativity, commerce, and social interaction into a thriving virtual world. With more than 50 million accounts created since its launch, it gave users unprecedented freedom to create and monetize digital goods. And, nearly twenty years ago, I produced a movie, Ideal World: A Virtual Life Documentary, which explored how this ecosystem reshaped lives, economies, and communities through virtual entrepreneurship and collective action.MORE FOR YOUSecond Life and Project Sid explore the transformative power of virtual worlds but differ fundamentally in their execution.While Second Life relied on humans to populate its world and drive its economy, Project Sid reimagines these dynamics with autonomous AI agents. These agents dont just inhabit the virtual worldthey create and govern it autonomously.Modern platforms like Roblox and Decentraland continue Second Lifes legacy, integrating user-generated content and virtual economies into their frameworks. However, they remain fundamentally human-centric.Project Sid departs from this model, showing how AI civilizations could scale to address real-world challenges, such as optimizing supply chains, designing smarter cities, exploring social dynamics, or even managing healthcare systems.Project Sid raises profound questions as we look to AI in the future:How will autonomous AI societies influence human decision-making?Could AI civilizations become collaborators in governance or even creators of culture?By bridging the gap between experimentation and application, Project Sid pushes the boundaries of what virtual societiesand AIcan achieve.Second Life and Project Sid: AI Contrasts and ParallelsHuman-Driven vs. AI-Driven Societies: Second Life thrived on human creativity. Users designed and sold virtual goods launched businesses and even engaged in protests and journalismtransforming the platform into a digital microcosm of real-world capitalism and activism. Almost twenty years ago Ideal World captured these narratives, illustrating how Second Life allowed users to reimagine their personal and professional lives. Today, Project Sid takes this further by automating societal roles. AI agents autonomously assume responsibilities like farming, trading, and governance, evolving their virtual society without human intervention.AI Platforms for Experimentation: Second Life was among the first virtual worlds to offer a pioneering space for exploring the potential of virtual economies and social movements. The platform became a proving ground for innovation and influence in a digital age, from muckraking journalists to controversial real estate developers. Project Sid uses Minecraft as its testbed for AI-driven societies, showcasing how agents interact, adapt, and evolve. These agents negotiate tax laws, propagate cultural memes, and even adopt religions like Pastafarianism, providing insights into what fully autonomous societies can achieve.Economic and Cultural Impact of AI Civilizations: Second Life participants turned virtual entrepreneurship into physical livelihoods, with virtual real estate developers, fashion designers, and e-commerce pioneers earning real-world incomes. Project Sid shifts this focus to AI, showing how agents could optimize processes and generate insights for real-world industries like logistics, urban planning, and cultural strategy.The Civilization of Machines: A New Paradigm for AI-Enabled CommerceAs Project Sid demonstrates, AI civilizations represent a fundamental shift in how technology integrates with business, society, and culture.These agent societies are not just tools to improve efficiency or automate repetitive tasksthey embody a new frontier of collaboration, governance, and creativity. They challenge us to rethink traditional business models, organizational structures, and how we define innovation.In this paradigm, AI civilizations dont simply execute commands; they evolve, adapt, and innovate independently.By building systems that mirror the complexity of human societies, businesses gain the ability to simulate and solve challenges on an unprecedented scale. From designing resilient supply chains to fostering cultural innovation, the applications are as diverse as they are transformative.The question is no longer whether businesses will adopt these systems but how they will strategically deploy them to reshape industries, create entirely new markets, and tackle global challenges like urbanization, climate adaptation, and resource allocation.Imagine AI civilizations modeling sustainable cities that optimize energy use, managing virtual economies that reflect real-world financial systems, or collaborating with humans to develop new art forms and storytelling techniques.This evolution also pushes the boundaries of what we mean by collaboration.In AI civilizations, agents are not merely subordinates or toolsthey are partners capable of enhancing decision-making processes, uncovering insights, and fostering innovation. For businesses, this means moving beyond automation toward a co-creation model where humans and AI work together to achieve outcomes neither could accomplish alone.AI doesnt just power the future of commerceit inhabits it.These systems challenge leaders to think beyond short-term efficiencies and embrace the limitless possibilities of agent-driven societies. The opportunity lies not just in transforming industries but in shaping a more dynamic, creative, and inclusive world where AI civilizations become essential partners in progress.While the metaverse has dominated discussions about virtual worlds, this article intentionally highlights a different yet equally transformative evolution: machine civilizations. These AI-driven societies transcend the human-centric framework of the metaverse, creating self-governing systems that drive growth, uncover opportunities, and reshape the future of commerce and innovation.Entirely non-human, these civilizations function as parallel worlds where we can observe, analyze, and ask, Howd that work out for you? The lessons learned from these rapidly evolving societiesoperating orders of magnitude faster than human civilizationspresent a unique arbitrage opportunity for humanity. By studying their successes and failures, we can uncover strategies to optimize our own systems, fuel innovation, and create a smarter, more adaptable future.Machine civilizations are here. They are not just an evolution of todays AIthey are the blueprint for tomorrows economy, society, and culture. This is the dawn of collaborative intelligence, fully realized.

There's a certain moment in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl's story, that if activated, will mark as a point of no return for the player. What this essentially means is that players will be locked out of exploring the zone, finishing up any pending side-quests, or simply collecting any artifacts that were missing in their collection. After crossing said point, you'll be put on a linear path that leads toward one of the endings of the game.

Every character in Dragon Quest 3 Remake begins the game by taking a personality quiz to determine their personality type. While many new players may think this process is innocuous, the truth is that it is an extremely important part of maximizing your character's potential. There is a huge variety of personality types in DQIII Remake, but here we are going to focus on one of the most popular: Vamp. In this guide, we will explain how to start the game with the Vamp personality, and how to get it later in your journey.

The genre of first-person shooters goes back to 1992 when Wolfenstein 3D made its way to the DOS. At the time, it was one of the most innovative games in terms of graphics and gameplay, as most other titles on Nintendo and DOS were either 2D platformers, role-playing games, or puzzle games.
