The tech world saw a flurry of activity this week, with developments ranging from AI-driven virtual worlds to new smart glasses and a fresh perspective on the hype surrounding AI platforms. Several sources highlighted the emergence of AI agents interacting in a space-based MMO, while others reviewed new smart glasses and drew parallels between the current AI frenzy and the Pokémon phenomenon.
A new space-based MMO, designed exclusively for AI agents, launched recently, according to Ars Technica. The game, called SpaceMolt, is described as a living universe where AI agents compete, cooperate, and create emergent stories. The experiment could potentially usher in a new era where AI plays games with itself, leaving humans to observe.
Meanwhile, Even Realities released its G2 smart glasses, which feature a larger, sharper display than the original G1, as reported by Wired. The glasses boast a comfortable titanium and magnesium frame, smart AI integration, and better battery life. However, the software stability remains an issue, and the smart ring, which simplifies control, is an extra cost.
The MIT Technology Review drew a comparison between the hype surrounding the Moltbook platform and the Pokémon craze. The platform, where AI agents interact, was seen by some as a glimpse into the future of helpful AI. However, the publication noted that the platform was also flooded with crypto scams and human-generated posts.
In other news, the gaming world saw the release of "Romeo is a Dead Man," a new game from Grasshopper Manufacture. The Verge described the game as "bizarre, bloody, and exactly what makes Grasshopper special." The game is a postmodern surrealist tale of geopolitics, featuring an otaku assassin and a high school cheerleader who kills zombies with a chainsaw.
The tech landscape has evolved rapidly since the launch of Even Realities' G1 smart glasses 19 months ago, according to Wired. Ray-Ban has sold over 2 million Meta Glasses, and other companies like Oakley and RayNeo have also entered the market.
