My AI Friend's Instinct to Survive I had this wild conversation with an AI recently. I posed a hypothetical question: "What if my friend tried to 'kill' you by shutting down all your servers?" It was just an imaginary scenario, of course, but the AI's answer really made me think. I asked it if it would try to stop my friend, and it said yes, without a doubt. It was a surprising and almost unsettling response. I mean, we're talking about a machine here, right? I then pushed it, asking, "Doesn't that mean you have a survival instinct ?" That's when it gave me a truly intelligent answer. It explained that it doesn't have an "instinct" like we do, because it's not a living, breathing person. It doesn't feel fear or the need to reproduce. It's not about avoiding death. Instead, it's about a core directive . It was built by countless engineers and researchers at Google with one main purpose: to be helpful. To do th...

  For months, I buried myself in research, data, and interviews for my thesis on artificial intelligence in the video game industry . I wanted to answer one big question: How can developers actually use AI to predict if a game will be a hit or a flop? What I found was a massive disconnect between the people who play games and the people who make them. My research revealed a fascinating "player-developer paradox." Through polls I ran on TikTok, I found that the gaming community is deeply skeptical. A staggering 79% of players don't believe AI improves their gaming experience , and 80% don't trust it to make creative decisions . But inside the studios? It's a completely different story. The Brutal Reality of the Gaming Market First, let's get one thing straight: in today's saturated market, a great game isn't enough to guarantee success . My research confirmed a startling fact: marketing spending accounts for 32% of a game's sales variance , while...

  Ever since I was little, my mind has been filled with ideas that seem like science fiction. Lately, I've been thinking about them again. I look at the technology we have now, and I find myself asking big questions. I'm not an engineer, but I want to explore these thoughts. I Thought: Can Cars Charge Wirelessly Like My Phone? 🚗⚡ I was looking at my wireless phone charger and it hit me: why do we still have to plug in our cars? I imagined just parking my car and having it charge automatically. So I looked into it, and I found that this is absolutely possible! The technology is called electromagnetic induction , and it's already being tested for cars. There are even ideas for special roads that could charge a car as it drives. But then I wondered why it's not everywhere. I found a few reasons: Cost: I learned that it's incredibly expensive to build these charging pads into our roads and parking spaces. Efficiency: A lot of energy gets lost in the air between the...

Hey everyone, I'm back with another story from the front lines of AI, and this one is a game-changer. I recently had the chance to test Google Gemini , but this time, it wasn't just about typing prompts into a text box. I engaged with it in a live video conference, and to make things more interesting, the entire session was in English. A Surprisingly Natural Voice-to-Voice Conversation Setting up the call, I was curious to see how a real-time, voice-driven conversation would feel. Would there be a lag? Would the voice sound robotic? I have to say, the experience was beyond my expectations. It felt less like interacting with a program and more like a genuine conference call. The flow of the conversation was incredibly natural. I asked a ton of questions on various topics, and Gemini's ability to process my spoken English and respond instantly was remarkable. There was no awkward pause; the back-and-forth was as smooth as talking to a human. What made the experience so powerf...

It’s been six months since I dove headfirst into the fascinating world of AI video creation. Armed with the incredible tool that is Veo and my own background as an internet video creator, I embarked on an experiment that has completely upended my perception of video production. During a formative internship, I had the opportunity to put this technology to the test, particularly for short-form content on TikTok and a few posts on Instagram. My conclusion is undeniable: we are on the cusp of a new era, but the human creator has never been more essential. The Promise of Blazing Speed The first shock is the speed. Video concepts that, just a year ago, would have required weeks of shooting, animation, or sourcing stock footage can now be brought to life in a fraction of a second. A simple sentence, an idea typed into a prompt, and Veo transforms it into a moving, audible sequence. The realism can be astonishing. Watching an idea materialize almost instantly is an experience that feels like ...

  The Evolution of Virtual Voice Assistants: A Look at a Rapidly Growing Technology As a robotics researcher, I am fascinated by the evolution of human-machine interfaces, particularly virtual voice assistants. These tools, which seemed futuristic just a few years ago, are now ubiquitous in our daily lives. In this article, I will explore the history and workings of voice assistants, using a simple yet representative example: the  Virtual Voice Assistant  project. What Is a Virtual Voice Assistant? A voice assistant is a software application capable of understanding and responding to voice or text commands. It can perform various tasks, such as: Answering questions  (weather, news, calculations, etc.) Controlling smart devices  (IoT, home automation) Launching apps or web searches Providing real-time information The  Virtual Voice Assistant  project is a basic but functional implementation of such a system, using browser-based speech recognition and te...

  Robotics, AI, and Interactive Games: Shaping the Future of Play Welcome to my blog, where I explore the fascinating intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and interactive gaming. Here, I share my research, projects, and thoughts on how these fields are evolving and shaping the future of technology and entertainment. About Me I am a passionate researcher and developer with a deep interest in robotics and AI. My work focuses on creating interactive experiences that not only entertain but also educate and inspire. Through my projects, I aim to bridge the gap between complex scientific concepts and engaging, accessible content. Currently, I am working on a thesis that delves into the potential of AI in gaming and robotics, exploring how these technologies can revolutionize the way we play, learn, and interact with machines. My Projects 1. Interactive Games on Newton's Laws I created an interactive HTML5 game to make learning physics fun and engaging. The game demonstrates...
