<description><![CDATA[<h2 class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--feature-dek font-polysans text-22 font-light leading-110 lg:text-26">The last FIFA game adds a lot of new features to the long-running franchise, but I was most excited about cosplaying as Jason Sudeikis and his mustache.</h2><img src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/kwtEVKG8ibJ7uB_t6Ed11LSCJ6Q=/0x0:3840x2160/1200x628/filters:focal(1771x957:1772x958)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24061685/FdvoTbeX0AEo5wP.jpg" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"><div id="content"><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white first-letter:float-left first-letter:mr-18 min-h-[80px] first-letter:font-polysans-mono first-letter:text-100 first-letter:font-medium first-letter:leading-[.72] dark:first-letter:text-franklin first-letter:selection:bg-franklin-20">There are a lot of reasons to be interested in <em>FIFA 23</em>. The latest soccer game from EA includes big features like <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/7/20/23271528/ea-sports-fifa-23-trailer-release-date-womens-soccer">the unfortunately belated addition of women’s pro leagues from France and England</a>, alongside <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/7/25/23277346/ea-sports-fifa-23-juventus">the return of Italian giants Juventus</a> and general improvements to gameplay and visuals. More importantly, there’s also the nostalgia factor. The FIFA games have been around since the ’90s, and this will be the last entry with the FIFA branding. <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/10/23065405/ea-sports-fc-fifa-branding">Starting in 2023, EA is calling its soccer games <em>EA Sports FC</em></a>. For me, though, my interest in <em>FIFA 23</em> was something much more basic: <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/21/23365046/ted-lasso-afc-richmond-team-fifa-23">I could play as Ted Lasso</a>.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">One of the stranger additions for this game is the inclusion of both Lasso — <a href="https://www.theverge.com/22590155/ted-lasso-apple-tv-plus-season-2-review">the main character from the Apple TV Plus series of the same name</a> — and the fictional soccer club he coaches, AFC Richmond. As a fan of the show, the game, and the sport, I felt it was my duty to step into Lasso’s pullover sweater in <em>FIFA 23</em>’s career mode. And it’s been a delightfully strange experience, even if it’s not exactly a substitute for <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/6/23156877/ted-lasso-season-3-last-final">the show’s third season</a>.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">For starters, since Richmond isn’t actually a real team, I had to find a home for them. And <em>FIFA</em> lets you put them in any league you want. For maximum chaos, I decided to put the London-based club in Major League Soccer, where they’d be traveling to cities like Los Angeles, Seattle, and my hometown Toronto. It made no sense, which is what also made it perfect. (It also meant I had to kick a team out of the league to make room — sorry, Charlotte FC.)</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p

You can run practice drills and boost morale by saying the right words at a press conference. My first act was to guide the club through a preseason tournament in China, which we won easily, netting a nice little $1 million bonus I could spend on new players. (I used it to lure some local Canadian prospects, naturally.)</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component block clear-both md:float-left md:mr-30 md:w-[320px] lg:-ml-100"><figure

dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">From there, AFC Richmond was in MLS, and the thing that struck me the most was how weird it was mixing this fictional club and players with the real world. The game does a great job at accurately recreating the looks of actors like Phil Dunster, Toheeb Jimoh, Kola Bokinni, and Cristo Fernández so that they look largely like they do on the show. I mean, just look at that virtual recreation of Jason Sudeikis’ mustache. Seeing them in the game alongside real stars like Lorenzo Insigne and Gareth Bale was strange at first. It’s kind of like watching Juancho Hernangómez play in the NBA after seeing him star in the Netflix movie <em>Hustle</em>.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">But I forgot about the weirdness pretty quickly, mainly because AFC Richmond absolutely dominated. While the club is an underdog in England, it turns out that if you drop them into North America, they are unstoppable. After a dozen or so games, Jamie Tartt and Dani Rojas were the top two scorers in MLS, averaging more than a goal per game each, and winger Sam Obisanya was sitting just a few spots below them. Even 40-year-old Roy Kent knocked in a few from his spot in the midfield. It got to the point that, after a 14-game unbeaten run, Mr. Lasso was constantly asked the same few questions in every post-match press conference. The team was so good that it got a little boring.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">In an effort to shake things up, I tried something dramatic, inviting Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola to my office with a proposition: a one-for-one swap of Jamie Tartt (arguably the best fictional goal scorer at the moment) for Erling Haaland (easily the best non-fictional goal scorer at the moment). Despite a nice little chat in Ted’s office, it... did not go well:</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component block clear-both w-full md:ml-[-100px] md:w-outdent"><figure class="my-9

personality you might expect. The characters all look right, as do the team’s stadium and uniforms (I especially love the Bantr jersey sponsorship). But once the novelty of controlling Dani Rojas wears off, you’re left with a fairly standard <em>FIFA</em> career mode. There’s none of the humor or heart from the show. I wasn’t expecting a full-on Ted Lasso story mode — though some voice acting would be nice — but a few unique lines of dialogue would be very welcome to differentiate the experience. At least let me spit out some tea. Right now, what’s on offer is basically a really nice skin for the standard mode.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">It’s still fun to play, and I’ve actually been really enjoying my time with <em>FIFA 23</em> so far; after a few years away from the franchise, it’s been a lot of fun to dig back into the new features and explore what feels like the most realistic <em>FIFA </em>to date. Ted Lasso was just the hook I needed to jump back into the annual series. I’m already planning on starting a second career save file to check out the new women’s club teams. I just need to decide on a club first.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white after:absolute after:mt-2 after:ml-8 after:content-[url(/icons/endmark.svg)]">The real question is what comes next for Ted. Spending a season destroying teams like the Seattle Sounders has been fun, but it’s definitely gotten stale — and the dominance means that Ted has been getting job offers from around the world. Right now, I’m mulling over opportunities, trying to think what would be the most entertaining place for him to continue his career. Ted Lasso, the American-football-coach-turned-English-soccer-manager-turned-MLS-Cup-champion, taking the helm of a mid-level team in Korea? Now that’s a story.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white"><small>FIFA 23 <em>launches on September 30th, though it’s available now for those who preordered the special edition.</em></small></p></div></div><div class="mt-30 mb-40"><button class="duet--article--comments-join-the-conversation group inline-flex"><span class="mr-10 font-polysans-mono text-12 font-medium tracking-12 text-blurple uppercase shadow-underline-blurple">Join the conversation</span><span class="relative mt-[-1px]"><svg width="26" height="26" viewBox="0 0 26 26" fill="none" class="fill-gray-ef group-hover:fill-blurple" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M5.2 20.3H4.99289L4.84645 20.4464L0.5 24.7929V2.6C0.5 1.44614 1.44614 0.5 2.6 0.5H23.4C24.5539 0.5 25.5 1.44614 25.5 2.6V18.2C25.5 19.3539 24.5539 20.3 23.4 20.3H5.2Z"></path></svg><span class="absolute top-2 left-0 w-full font-polysans-mono text-11 font-medium text-blurple group-hover:text-white"><span class="coral-count" data-coral-id="09d0b959-e1ce-45c0-9f36-226c4b15cd17" data-coral-notext="true"></span></span></span></button></div>]]></description>

The 113 million represents just 1 percent of total videos uploaded during the three-month period.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">The most common reason for removal was violating policies around minor safety, which accounted for just under 44 percent of videos taken down. Other common reasons include illegal activities and regulated goods, as well as adult nudity and sexual activities, according to the report.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">An increasing number of videos taken down by TikTok are being removed by the platform’s automated systems — around 48 million videos in the last quarter. Nearly 96 percent of videos in the three-month period were removed before a user reported it to TikTok. The company said it uses automated tools and human review to sift through content that could violate user guidelines.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">“Leveraging machine learning has been especially impactful when it comes to our countering harmful misinformation,” the report reads. “We expanded our capacity to iterate rapidly on our systems given the fast changing nature of misinformation, especially during a crisis or event (e.g. the war in Ukraine or an election).”</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">Earlier this year, as Russia invaded Ukraine, TikTok struggled to contain the spread of misleading and fake war content that <a href="https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2022/tiktok-misinformation-ukraine-audio-features/">proliferated on the platform</a>, eventually <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/6/22964418/art-club">banning videos</a> from Russia and introducing <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/4/22962289/tiktok-misinformation-state-media-labels-rollout-russia-ukraine">state media labels</a>. </p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">In preparation for the US midterm elections in November, TikTok announced last week that it would <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/21/23364693/tiktok-midterms-elections-donation-ban-fundraise-verification">ban all political fundraising</a> and require government, politician, and political party accounts to apply for verification on the platform.

<description><![CDATA[<h2 class="inline selection:bg-franklin-20">Cixin Liu’s The Three-Body Problem is one of the most fascinating sci-fi epics of our time, and yet, Netflix has barely said anything about its upcoming adaptation of the novel.</h2><img src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/yZ6bhlTkQ6gNJUx7AUatmWbFu14=/0x0:2880x1424/1200x628/filters:focal(1440x712:1441x713)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24059075/Screen_Shot_2022_09_27_at_1.33.39_PM.png" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"><div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">Though <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/21/18700675/chinese-science-fiction-three-body-problem-tv-series-cixin-liu">Cixin Liu’s <em>The Three-Body Problem</em></a><em> </em>is one of the most fascinating and thought-provoking pieces of speculative fiction to come out in recent years, you wouldn’t know it judging from the way that Netflix has (barely) been talking about <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/9/1/21410210/netflix-the-three-body-problem-benioff-weiss-adapation"><em>3 Body Problem</em></a>, its forthcoming adaptation of the novel from Alexander Woo, D.B. Weiss, and David Benioff</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">During this year’s Tudum, essentially <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/24/23368543/netflix-tudum-2022-news-trailers-release-dates">all of Netflix’s larger profile projects</a> due out in the coming months, like <a href="https://www.theverge.com/e/23132554"><em>Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery</em></a>, Guillermo del Toro’s <em>Pinocchio</em>, and <em>The Witcher</em>’s third season, were spotlighted in segments that gave you a sense of what sort of energy their respective creative teams were working with. But when it came to the segment focused on Netflix’s forthcoming adaptation of Cixin Liu’s <em>The Three-Body Problem</em>, Tudum got a little stiff and curiously boilerplate-y in a way that did little to say much about or hype up the show.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">During their brief time in the spotlight, Woo, Weiss, and Benioff shared that they’ve recently completed production on <em>3 Body Problem</em>’s first season and opened up about what initially drew each of them to the project. Like Liu’s novel, Woo described their <em>3 Body Problem </em>as “a history of humanity from the point of first contact with an alien civilization all the way to the end of the universe,” and Weiss emphasized how they were intrigued by the sheer scale and scope of Liu’s vision.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component block clear-both"><div class="duet--media--embed mb-20 w-full"></div></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">At a time when studios have become comfortable essentially spoiling the entirety of their features and series with their advertising campaigns, there’s something slightly refreshing about how relatively little noise Netflix has been making about <em>3 Body Problem </em>since news of its production first broke in 2020. But at an event like Tudum meant to signal to Netflix’s subscribers what all the fuss around its “hotly anticipated” projects is about, it was a bit of a letdown to see <em>3 Body Problem</em>’s executive producers and some of its cast vaguely summarizing the show as a “big” and “complex” epic without really saying or showing anything to back those claims up.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">To be fair, the true depth and breadth of Liu’s <em>The Three Body-Problem — </em>the first in a trilogy of books spanning multiple centuries — is difficult to sum up within the span of two minutes. Though the story does eventually become one about how profoundly the world changes after humanity makes first contact with sentient extraterrestrial life, from the very beginning, Liu contrasts its grandeur with a close-up focus on the small, pivotal moments in a society’s history that have outsized impacts on the shape of the future. </p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">Before <em>The Three-Body Problem </em>shifts its focus to the different ways that Earth’s nations respond when aliens make their existence known, the novel spends a sizable amount of time setting its stage with a brutal and frank reflection on <a href="https://www.vox.com/videos/2020/2/14/21137797/china-cultural-revolution-mao-ze-dong-photo">China’s Cultural Revolution</a>. More than merely establishing<em> The Three-Body Problem</em>’s reality as one similar to our own, the time Liu spends examining the immediate and long-term repercussions of China’s Revolution-era policies is one of the big and brilliant ways the book prepares you for the macro view of the universe the series ultimately takes.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component block

dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">That close-up, micro view of China’s specific history and the way <em>The Three-Body Problem </em>frames it as one relatively small piece of humanity’s record in the grand scheme of all things are also part of how the book primes you to appreciate its ideas about technological development. Technology as vectors of human evolution and the concept of societies working as a kind of organic circuit aren’t exactly unique to <em>The Three-Body Problem. </em>But the way Liu’s books intricately weave those ideas together and use them to ground the trilogy’s story as it becomes increasingly mind-bending is as artful as it is impressive, which is presumably what Netflix wants <em>3 Body Problem </em>to be.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">That was obviously the kind impression Apple wanted people to get from the handful of teasers it dropped for <em>Foundation </em>— David S. Goyer and Josh Friedman’s series that, thematically, has a <em>lot </em>in common with <em>3 Body Problem</em> — in the buildup to its premiere. <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/20/22791979/foundation-season-1-review-apple-tv-plus"><em>Foundation </em>might not have been able to live up to all of its hype</a>, true, but presenting viewers with a clear view of just how ambitious any given project is is an important part of how studios set them up (but obviously don’t guarantee) their success.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">There’s still ample time for Netflix to start talking about <em>3 Body Problem </em>with the passionate specificity and confidence of a studio that genuinely believes it has another hit on its hands. But if Netflix really wants <em>3 Body Problem </em>to be its next big thing meant to electrify the world and convince newcomers to sign up for the streaming service, it’s going to have to step its game up quite a bit before the show debuts sometime in 2023.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"></div></div><div class="mt-30 mb-40"></div>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Apple might let you test satellite SOS without sending an emergency message]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<h2 class="inline selection:bg-franklin-20">Code discovered in the latest iOS 16.1 developer beta hints at a demo mode feature for the new emergency feature</h2><img src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/6EzasO4p_kA7AWlkS2OWMBObEyo=/0x0:2612x1828/1200x628/filters:focal(1306x914:1307x915)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24006194/EmergencySOS.png" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"><div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">Say you twisted your ankle on the trail, you’re out of cell signal range, and you need to call for help. Sounds like a great time to learn how to use a new feature on your phone, right? Hell no, and it seems that Apple has come to the same conclusion. <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2022/09/27/ios-16-1-satellite-connection-demo-iphone-14/">Sleuths at <em>9to5Mac</em></a> discovered some code in the latest iOS 16 developer beta that hints at the existence of a satellite SOS demo mode, potentially so you can get familiar with the feature before you get into trouble.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">SOS via satellite is the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro-only feature Apple announced (and demo’d for us) earlier this month. It uses satellite connectivity to help relay messages and location info to emergency services when you’re out of cell range. It’s not live yet; the feature is expected to arrive in November. </p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component block clear-both"></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">In the meantime, Apple seems to be laying the groundwork for its official launch. <em>9to5Mac</em> found “multiple features” in iOS 16.1 developer beta 3 related to satellite connectivity, but the demo mode stands out as something we hadn’t heard about before. This satellite demo seems like a legitimate walkthrough, too, that requires you to go outside and find a clear view of the sky to use it. <em>9to5Mac</em> reports that it will be available anytime from the settings menu.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white"><a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/8/23342908/apple-satellite-sos-globalstar-business-ast-lynk-spacex">Apple is far from alone</a> in pursuing ways to connect phones to satellites, but it’s still a very new concept to most people. A demo mode could help iPhone 14 owners get familiar with the feature and how it works — or maybe help convince them that it’s worth paying for. Apple will include two years of service on the iPhone 14, but after that, it’s unclear how much it will cost.</p></div></div><div class="mt-30 mb-40"></div>]]></description>

The carrier talked a little about the device, which will be called the Razer Edge 5G, at a keynote at MWC Las Vegas, saying that it’ll run Android and give you access to cloud gaming services like Xbox Cloud Gaming. Unlike devices like <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/22/23367556/logitech-g-cloud-gaming-handheld-console-hands-on-xbox-nvidia-geforce">Logitech’s recently announced G Cloud</a>, however, it does seem like it’ll be able to play games stored locally on the device as well.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">While details are relatively sparse, we have heard of a similar device before: Qualcomm’s Snapdragon G3x Handheld Gaming Developer Kit. That device, which was <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/1/22789752/qualcomm-g3x-chip-platform-android-razer-developer-kit">shown off late last year</a>, was made to showcase the company’s G3x platform, which is what Verizon and Razer’s handheld will be using. According to Qualcomm, its G3x chipset supports external displays up to 4K and has a GPU capable of running games at up to 144 frames per second. </p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component block clear-both"><div class="duet--media--embed mb-20 w-full md:max-w-[460px]"></div></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">Based on the teaser video, it seems like the Edge 5G may have some sort of adaptive trigger system.

<description><![CDATA[<h2 class="inline selection:bg-franklin-20">‘No modern internet service in 2022 can have the rules that Tumblr did in 2007’</h2><img src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/bYfE2hJW73YpIcze76xLqf1Zcss=/0x0:2040x1360/1200x628/filters:focal(1020x680:1021x681)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/5231473/Tumblr-app-stock-Dec2015-verge-02.0.jpg" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"><div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg would like you to <em>please </em>stop asking Tumblr to bring back porn because it isn’t going to happen. After <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/27/23374892/tumblr-automattic-porn-ban-adult-content-policy-potential-change-community-labels-tagging">widespread and inaccurate speculation</a> that Tumblr would lift its ban on adult content, <a href="https://photomatt.tumblr.com/post/696629352701493248/why-go-nuts-show-nuts-doesnt-work-in-2022">Mullenweg posted a long explanation yesterday</a> of why Tumblr will never go back to the old days. Or, in his words: “the casually porn-friendly era of the early internet is currently impossible.”</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">That doesn’t mean Tumblr’s policies will stay the same. <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/15/22977857/wordpress-tumblr-simplenote-internet-automattic-matt-mullenweg-interview">Mullenweg has said before</a> that Automattic (which bought Tumblr in 2019) wants to loosen the rules its old owner Verizon implemented in 2018, and he reiterated that here, echoing comments he made earlier this week. Verizon’s ban “took out not only porn but also a ton of art and artists,” Mullenweg wrote in his post. “This policy is currently still in place, though the Tumblr and Automattic teams are working to make it more open and common-sense.” Tumblr is supposed to implement those policies soon, putting the site more in line with Automattic’s WordPress.com blogging platform.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">“That said, no modern internet service in 2022 can have the rules that Tumblr did in 2007,” Mullenweg wrote, quoting Tumblr’s old liberal policy slogan. (If you’re wondering, it was “go nuts, show nuts.”) “I agree with ‘go nuts, show nuts’ in principle, but the casually porn-friendly era of the early internet is currently impossible.” On Tumblr, that era <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/6/18124260/tumblr-porn-ban-sexuality-blogs-unique">helped produce a lot of</a> unique, often queer, blogs with sexual content. The 2018 ban changed the tenor of the site for good — and this week, many users were enthusiastically but prematurely celebrating its end.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component block clear-both md:float-left md:mr-30 md:w-[320px] lg:-ml-100"><div class="duet--article--article-pullquote mb-20"><div class="mb-10 w-[65px] h-[22px] bg-franklin"></div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup relative pb-8 font-polysans text-28 font-medium tracking-1 leading-120 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple bg-[length:1px_1.2em] bg-repeating-lines-dark dark:bg-repeating-lines-light">“If Apple permanently banned Tumblr from the App Store, we’d probably have to shut the service down.”</p></div></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">Why is returning to that era impossible? For now, it’s largely because of intermediaries that play a massive role in how people access the web. Payment processors have long been leery of adult content, and they’ve stepped up enforcement in recent years, in part <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/10/22168240/mastercard-ending-pornhub-payment-processing-unlawful-videos">because of concerns</a> about child abuse and nonconsensual pornography. Apple’s iOS App Store has been staunchly opposed to it since launch. And without those two pieces of infrastructure, running a for-profit site is incredibly difficult. “If Apple permanently banned Tumblr from the App Store, we’d probably have to shut the service down,” Mullenweg noted. Some nonprofit sites that do allow things like explicit artwork — primarily <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/15/23200176/history-of-ao3-archive-of-our-own-fanfiction">the Archive of Our Own fanworks site</a> — have remained persistently web-only despite years of requests for apps.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">Meanwhile, porn companies <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/27/22641095/onlyfans-sex-work-ban-online-porn-payment-processing-controversy">have their own stack of payment processing services</a>, but they’re typically far more expensive — something that <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/25/22640988/onlyfans-no-ban-porn-sexually-explicit-content-creators">nearly got adult performers banned</a> from the subscription platform OnlyFans last year.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">The issue is compounded by new rules about age verification and — although Mullenweg doesn’t mention it by name — anti-sex work laws like FOSTA-SESTA. Some of these laws are meant to combat unambiguously harmful phenomena like nonconsensual pornography, but they also add substantial legal oversight.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">If you reached this article through Twitter or Reddit, you might have a fairly obvious question right now, and Mullenweg raises it: why can both those platforms, fairly unusually for modern social networks, allow a lot of porn? “Ask Apple, because I don’t know,” says Mullenweg. He speculates that Tumblr and Reddit are both too big to ban — although Apple has forced moderation changes <a href="https://www.theverge.com/22740969/facebook-files-papers-frances-haugen-whistleblower-civic-integrity">even for giant services like Facebook</a>.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">The overall upshot, to Mullenweg, is this:</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><blockquote class="duet--article--blockquote pl-32 border-l my-40 border-blurple"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-20 last:mb-0 font-fkroman text-17 -tracking-1 leading-160 text-gray-4a dark:text-gray-bd dark:[&_a:hover]:text-franklin selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-franklin">If you wanted to start an adult social network in 2022, you’d need to be web-only on iOS and side-load on Android, take payment in crypto, have a way to convert crypto to fiat for business operations without being blocked, do a ton of work in age and identity verification and compliance so you don’t go to jail, protect all of that identity information so you don’t dox your users, and make a ton of money.</p><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-20 last:mb-0 font-fkroman text-17 -tracking-1 leading-160 text-gray-4a dark:text-gray-bd dark:[&_a:hover]:text-franklin selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-franklin">[...]</p><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-20 last:mb-0 font-fkroman text-17 -tracking-1 leading-160 text-gray-4a dark:text-gray-bd dark:[&_a:hover]:text-franklin selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-franklin">I do hope that a dedicated service or company is started that will replace what people used to get from porn on Tumblr. It may already exist and I don’t know about it. They’ll have an uphill battle under current regimes, and if you think that’s a bad thing please try to change the regimes. Don’t attack companies following legal and business realities as they exist.</p></blockquote></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">Tumblr seems close to updating its policy on what “adult content” <em>means</em>, potentially differentiating explicit (to a point) illustrations from photos or videos.

<description><![CDATA[<h2 class="inline selection:bg-franklin-20">Alfred’s new ML2 Smart Lock is powered by Wi-Charge wireless power, so it never needs new batteries. It’s a mortise lock designed for high-end homes and commercial buildings, and it's $900. But a standard deadbolt version is coming soon. </h2><img src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/hr6FXVEVwYh2QFE67z5WPotJDIs=/0x0:2040x1360/1200x628/filters:focal(1020x680:1021x681)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24062719/Alfred.jpg" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"><div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">I’ve spent the last few months testing smart door locks, and I’ve had to set up an Amazon Subscribe & Save order for all the different batteries they’ve been chewing through.

Wirelessly powered by a <a href="https://www.wi-charge.com/">Wi-Charge wireless power transmitter</a>, the lock is launching today for commercial real estate developers in the United States and Canada. </p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">The ML2 is a mortise lock designed for high-end residential homes and commercial buildings. While it’s not going to work on your standard front door fitted for a deadbolt lock, Brad Cook, head of product and integrations at Alfred, told<em> </em>me a deadbolt version is coming early next year.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">While we’ve seen demos of wireless power for years at trade shows like CES, the technology has yet to make its way into any practical products. That's the big change here; Alfred and Wi-Charge actually have a working wirelessly powered smart lock that’s out in the world. Alfred has installed demo versions of the lock and the wireless power accessories in real buildings as part of live pilots. </p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">Designed for North American-style mechanical mortise lock chassis, the ML2 lock will largely be used in commercial and hotel properties, apartment and condo buildings, and high-end single-family homes. It can be retrofitted but is definitely more of a pro-install job. If you did want to <a href="https://alfredinc.com/collections/products/products/ml2">get yourself one</a>, you’d be looking at a starting price of $899, which doesn’t include the Wi-Charge accessory kit. </p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component block clear-both"><figure class="my-9 lg:mx-0"><div

long-range wireless power transmitter — a medium-sized round hub that has to be plugged in. There is no set pricing for upgrading to wireless power. Cook said it’s “priced separately on request and per application,” but <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/7/21053980/wi-charge-alfred-locks-long-range-wireless-charging-smart-lock">previous reports</a> put it at between $150 and $180.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">The Wi-Charge transmitter delivers “several watts” of wireless power safely and efficiently to any compatible device in the same room within 30 feet. The technology is FDA approved, and Ori Mor, co-founder of Wi-Charge, says it’s a precision transmission and requires lines of sight; the transmitter isn’t bathing the room in wireless power. You can see <a href="https://www.wi-charge.com/smart-locks">a video of it “in action” here</a>.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">Mor said Wi-Charge’s “AirCord” technology delivers up to 100 times more power than a standard battery, which can enable a device to do more. For example, Alfred’s Cook says there weren’t any smart mortise locks before the ML2 because a mortise lock requires significantly more power to turn the mechanism than a standard deadbolt. With the wireless power system, Alfred can do it. </p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component block clear-both md:float-left md:mr-30 md:w-[320px] lg:-ml-100"><figure class="my-9

Never having to charge your video doorbell or change out your smart lock batteries would be a much better user experience than the current state of play. Mor says one Wi-Charge transmitter can charge multiple devices, which could help offset the initial cost. But all those devices need to be Wi-Charge-enabled with an infrared receiver built into them. That’s going to be a harder sell.</p></div></div><div class="mt-30 mb-40"></div>]]></description>

As the name suggests, this AI model allows users to type in a rough description of a scene, and it will generate a short video matching their text. The videos are clearly artificial, with blurred subjects and distorted animation, but still represent a significant development in the field of AI content generation. </p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component block clear-both md:float-left md:mr-30 md:w-[320px] lg:-ml-100"><div class="duet--article--article-pullquote mb-20"><div class="mb-10 w-[65px] h-[22px] bg-franklin"></div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup relative pb-8 font-polysans text-28 font-medium tracking-1 leading-120 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple bg-[length:1px_1.2em] bg-repeating-lines-dark dark:bg-repeating-lines-light">The model’s output is clearly artificial but still impressive</p></div></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">“Generative AI research is pushing creative expression forward by giving people tools to quickly and easily create new content,” said Meta in a blog post announcing the work. “With just a few words or lines of text, Make-A-Video can bring imagination to life and create one-of-a-kind videos full of vivid colors and landscapes.”</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">In a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/pfbid0zeP5MtjQmg4FpMR4JN3CWsxDgSd71TU1jrThwmTyvy1QFAsfwKgnpZEgpP3z3LD7l">Facebook post</a>, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg described the work as “amazing progress,” adding: “It’s much harder to generate video than photos because beyond correctly generating each pixel, the system also has to predict how they’ll change over time.”</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">The clips are no longer than five seconds and contain no audio but span a huge range of prompts. The best way to judge the model’s performance is to watch its output. Each of the videos below was generated by Make-A-Video and captioned with the prompt used to generate the video. However, it’s also worth noting that each video was provided to <em>The Verge</em> by Meta, which is not currently allowing anyone access to the model. That means the clips could have been cherry-picked to show the system in its best light. </p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component block clear-both"><div class="duet--media--video-embed mb-20"><div class="aspect-video relative"><div class="duet--media--content-warning relative" style="padding-top:56.25%"><div class="absolute top-0 w-full h-full"><iframe id="video-204843104" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" class="w-full h-full" title="Meta Text-to-Video - Young Couple in the Rain" allow="autoplay" src="https://volume.vox-cdn.com/embed/204843104?autoplay=false&placement=article&player_type=chorus&tracking=article:middle" data-analytics-placement="article:middle" data-volume-placement="article" data-analytics-action="volume:view:article:middle" data-volume-uuid="204843104" loading="lazy" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"></iframe></div></div></div><div class="duet--media--caption pt-6 font-polysans-mono text-12 font-light tracking-1 leading-130"><figcaption class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-e9 [&>a:hover]:text-black [&>a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 [&>a:hover]:shadow-underline-black text-gray-13"><em>“A young couple walking in a heavy rain.”</em></figcaption></div></div></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component block clear-both"><div class="duet--media--video-embed mb-20"><div class="aspect-video relative"><div class="duet--media--content-warning relative" style="padding-top:56.25%"><div class="absolute top-0 w-full h-full"><iframe id="video-7e4c73127" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" class="w-full h-full" title="Meta Text-to-Video - Unicorns Running Along a Beach" allow="autoplay" src="https://volume.vox-cdn.com/embed/7e4c73127?autoplay=false&placement=article&player_type=chorus&tracking=article:middle" data-analytics-placement="article:middle" data-volume-placement="article" data-analytics-action="volume:view:article:middle" data-volume-uuid="7e4c73127" loading="lazy" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"></iframe></div></div></div><div class="duet--media--caption pt-6 font-polysans-mono text-12 font-light tracking-1 leading-130"><figcaption class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-e9 [&>a:hover]:text-black [&>a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 [&>a:hover]:shadow-underline-black text-gray-13"><em>“Unicorns running along a beach.”</em></figcaption></div></div></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component block clear-both"><div class="duet--media--video-embed mb-20"><div class="aspect-video relative"><div class="duet--media--content-warning relative" style="padding-top:56.25%"><div class="absolute top-0 w-full h-full"><iframe id="video-a1499b8d9" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" class="w-full h-full" title="Meta Text-to-Video - A teddy bear painting a portrait" allow="autoplay" src="https://volume.vox-cdn.com/embed/a1499b8d9?autoplay=false&placement=article&player_type=chorus&tracking=article:middle" data-analytics-placement="article:middle" data-volume-placement="article" data-analytics-action="volume:view:article:middle" data-volume-uuid="a1499b8d9" loading="lazy" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"></iframe></div></div></div><div class="duet--media--caption pt-6 font-polysans-mono text-12 font-light tracking-1 leading-130"><figcaption class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-e9 [&>a:hover]:text-black [&>a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 [&>a:hover]:shadow-underline-black text-gray-13"><em>“A teddy bear painting a portrait.”</em></figcaption></div></div></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">Again, while it’s clear these videos are computer-generated, the output of such AI models will improve rapidly in the near future. As a comparison, in just the space of a few years, AI image generators have gone from creating <a href="https://twitter.com/JanelleCShane/status/1029925295589969920">borderline incomprehensible pictures</a> to <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/24/23139297/google-imagen-text-to-image-ai-system-examples-paper">photorealistic content</a>.

The output of these tools could be used for misinformation, propaganda, and — more likely, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2018/12/30/fake-porn-videos-are-being-weaponized-harass-humiliate-women-everybody-is-potential-target/">based on what we’ve seen with AI image systems and deepfakes</a> — generating nonconsensual pornography that can be used to harass and intimidate women. </p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">Meta says it wants to be “thoughtful about how we build new generative AI systems like this” and is only currently publishing a paper on the Make-A-Video model.

Training content was sourced from two datasets (<a href="https://m-bain.github.io/webvid-dataset/">WebVid-10M</a> and <a href="https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content/CVPR2022/papers/Xue_Advancing_High-Resolution_Video-Language_Representation_With_Large-Scale_Video_Transcriptions_CVPR_2022_paper.pdf">HD-VILA-100M</a>), which together, contain millions of videos spanning hundreds of thousands of hours of footage. This includes stock video footage created by sites like Shutterstock and scraped from the web.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">The researchers note in the paper that the model has many technical limitations beyond blurry footage and disjointed animation. For example, their training methods are unable to learn information that might only be inferred by a human watching a video — e.g., whether a video of a waving hand is going left to right or right to left. Other problems include generating videos longer than five seconds, videos with multiple scenes and events, and higher resolution. Make-A-Video currently outputs 16 frames of video at a resolution of 64 by 64 pixels, which are then boosted in size using a separate AI model to 768 by 768. </p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">Meta’s team also notes that, like all AI models trained on data scraped from the web, Make-A-Video has “learnt and likely exaggerated social biases, including harmful ones.” In text-to-image models, these biases often reinforce social prejudices. For example, ask a model to generate an image of a “terrorist,” and it will likely depict someone wearing a turban. However, it’s impossible to say what biases Meta’s model has learned without open access.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">Meta says it is “openly sharing this generative AI research and results with the community for their feedback, and will continue to use our responsible AI framework to refine and evolve our approach to this emerging technology.”</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"></div></div><div class="mt-30 mb-40"></div>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<h2 class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--feature-dek font-polysans text-22 font-light leading-110 lg:text-26">The long-awaited $429 Sub Mini doesn’t disappoint, but there are still reasons to opt for the standard Sub</h2><img src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/EmVbnhyO89E_CjwwxjH582hqNvA=/0x0:2040x1360/1200x628/filters:focal(1152x888:1153x889)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24063719/SubMiniLede.jpg" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"><div id="content"><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-20 font-fkroman text-22 -tracking-1 leading-150 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin [&_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white first-letter:float-left first-letter:mr-18 first-letter:font-polysans-mono first-letter:text-[117px] first-letter:font-medium first-letter:leading-[.72] dark:first-letter:text-franklin">It’s not an exaggeration to say that Sonos customers have been anticipating a product like the Sub Mini for years. Until now, the only way to fully realize a “complete” Sonos home theater system meant coughing up $749 for the Sub subwoofer — on top of whatever you paid for a Sonos soundbar and rear surrounds. That total can quickly balloon to <a href="https://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8532386/type/dlg/sid/verge/https://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop/surround-set-arc-sub-one-sl">just shy of $2,000</a> depending on the soundbar you want. For many consumers with Sonos’ step-down products like the Beam and Ray, the Sub was impractically expensive and out of reach.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">That’s why there’s now the Sub Mini. First <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/16/23073977/sonos-sub-mini-affordable-subwoofer-design-preview">revealed by <em>The Verge</em></a> back in May, Sonos originally intended to ship the $429 subwoofer well before the October 6th release date it ultimately settled on. But a rough financial quarter and underwhelming demand for the <a href="https://www.theverge.com/23149484/sonos-ray-soundbar-review">entry-level Ray soundbar</a> led the company to <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/10/23300377/sonos-new-product-delayed-sub-mini">push back the Sub Mini’s release</a> by several weeks. </p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&_a]:shadow-underline-black [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&_a]:shadow-underline-white">Now, the smaller, more affordable subwoofer is nearly here. I’ve been testing it for over a week, sampling the Sub Mini’s low-end performance across TV, movies, video games, and music. If you’ve been counting down the days until you can get your hands on one, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. There are still circumstances and use cases where the larger, pricier Sub is the better choice. But so long as you plan to use the Sub Mini in a small- to mid-sized room, it has all the kick necessary for movie night. And in my opinion, its design looks much nicer than the glossy, boxy Sub — even if, on the inside, they’re both based on similar acoustic principles. </p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component block clear-both"><aside class="duet--article--scorecard p-16 mb-20 w-full rounded-sm border border-franklin"><div class="relative"><div class="aspect-square relative w-full md:hidden"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;display:block;overflow:hidden;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0"><img alt="" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" decoding="async" data-nimg="fill" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%;object-fit:cover" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"><noscript><img alt="" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 300px" srcSet="/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2Fimage%2F9976%2Fmini.jpg&w=376&q=75 376w, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2Fimage%2F9976%2Fmini.jpg&w=384&q=75 384w, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2Fimage%2F9976%2Fmini.jpg&w=415&q=75 415w, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2Fimage%2F9976%2Fmini.jpg&w=480&q=75 480w, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2Fimage%2F9976%2Fmini.jpg&w=540&q=75 540w, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2Fimage%2F9976%2Fmini.jpg&w=640&q=75 640w, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2Fimage%2F9976%2Fmini.jpg&w=750&q=75 750w, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2Fimage%2F9976%2Fmini.jpg&w=828&q=75 828w, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2Fimage%2F9976%2Fmini.jpg&w=1080&q=75 1080w, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2Fimage%2F9976%2Fmini.jpg&w=1200&q=75 1200w, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2Fimage%2F9976%2Fmini.jpg&w=1440&q=75 1440w, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2Fimage%2F9976%2Fmini.jpg&w=1920&q=75 1920w, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2Fimage%2F9976%2Fmini.jpg&w=2048&q=75 2048w, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2Fimage%2F9976%2Fmini.jpg&w=2400&q=75 2400w" src="/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2Fimage%2F9976%2Fmini.jpg&w=2400&q=75" decoding="async" data-nimg="fill" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%;object-fit:cover" loading="lazy"/></noscript></span></div><div class="aspect-standard relative w-full hidden md:block"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;display:block;overflow:hidden;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0"><img alt="" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" decoding="async" data-nimg="fill" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%;object-fit:cover" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"><noscript><img alt="" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 300px" srcSet="/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2Fimage%2F9976%2Fmini.jpg&w=376&q=75 376w, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2Fimage%2F9976%2Fmini.jpg&w=384&q=75 384w, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2Fimage%2F9976%2Fmini.jpg&w=415&q=75 415w, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2Fimage%2F9976%2Fmini.jpg&w=480&q=75 480w, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2Fimage%2F9976%2Fmini.jpg&w=540&q=75 540w, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.vox-cdn.com%2Fhermano%2Fverge%2Fproduct%2F |
