May 27, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Business

A cat video filmed 20 years ago by former YouTube chief technology officer Steve Chen is now the basis for a memecoin with a market capitalization of more than $20 million.

Steve Chen, co-founder and former chief technology officer of video-sharing platform YouTube, has been supporting a memecoin project based on one of the first cat videos uploaded to the website in 2005.

Speaking to Cointelegraph from Taiwan on May 27, Chen, who has an estimated net worth of more than $1 billion, said he had been devoting 80 to 100 hours a week to backing the memecoin Pajamas (PAJAMAS). Based on Chen’s “first-ever cat video uploaded to YouTube” in 2005, the project is available on the Solana blockchain.

“This is my cat, Pajamas, playing and dancing to the tune of Nick Drake,” said the video description, uploaded to YouTube on May 22, 2005.

Coin Telegraph

YouTuber and Ultimate star MKBHD tested the device using a game controller, his legs, and the Force.

The Imagineers at Disney have come up with what may be the killer app for metaverse hardware, a 360-degree treadmill controllable via remote control, physical movement, or gesture.

U.S. YouTuber and 2022 Ultimate champion Marques Brownlee, professionally known as MKBHD, was the first non-Disney employee to test the prototype device.

The Holotile, as the device is called, resembles a thick plastic mat made up of hundreds of little spinning pieces arranged in a seemingly random geometric pattern. It uses tilted, spinning discs to essentially create a floor that moves in every direction.

Google’s Gemini demo is now getting accused of being ‘fake’

December 11, 2023 Coin Telegraph

Coin Telegraph

Onlookers praised the Gemini tech demo from Google upon its release last week but the tech firm admits some of it was jazzed up for “brevity.”

A "hands-on" tech demo of Google’s new artificial intelligence model Gemini has gone from being the talk of the town to being accused by critics of being “basically entirely fake.”

The six-minute video, which garnered 2.1 million views on YouTube since its release on Dec. 7, shows it seamlessly interacting with a human operator in seemingly real-time, including analyzing a duck drawing, hand gestures, and inventing a game called “Guess the Country" with just an image prompt of the world map.

However, Oriol Vinyals, a Google Deepmind executive has since clarified that while the user prompts and outputs in the video are real, it has been “shortened for brevity.” In reality, Gemini's interactions were text-based, not voiced, and took much longer than how it was represented in the video.
