▼ + stars: | 2023-09-26 | by ( Yoonjung Seo | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +15 min

For South Korean male participants, winning a gold medal in the Asian Games or Olympic Games not only brings honor but also grants them a military exemption. However, the mandatory duty can be waived for some athletes, in particular those who win an Olympic medal or a gold medal in the Asian Games. Seven games will be featured as official medal events at the 19th Asian Games, building on the success of the pilot event at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Games. The venue for the Asian Games esports competitions is state-of-the-art and an impressive sight to see. With its inclusion as an official Asian Games medal event, the possibility of esports becoming a part of the Olympic Games is a topic of growing debate.

☆ In MMOs Like Old School RuneScape Scammers Use ChatGPT to Fuel Bots

But the bots using ChatGPT began to rapidly improve, and SirPugger realized the automated players would soon become almost indistinguishable from human players. In some cases, these AI-powered bots seemed to commiserate with real players, even complaining about the overabundance of bots. At the same time, bot scripts could eventually enhance rather than detract from the social aspects of online games. Online shooters like "PUBG" and "Fortnite" already populate their multiplayer lobbies with AI bots, but the social emphasis of MMOs means that they are uniquely well positioned to reap the prospective benefits of chatbot integration. Worlds would appear to become more populous, and though "real" players might still be cheated out of leaderboard slots, they wouldn't necessarily know it.

☆ Krafton says India revoked ban on its battle-royale game
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-19 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

The government had in July blocked Krafton's title Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), citing concerns about its data-sharing and mining in China. Following a government directive, the app was removed from Alphabet Inc's (GOOGL.O) Google Play Store and Apple Inc's (AAPL.O) App Store. A Facebook page for the title says the game will be available for download soon. New Delhi had, back in 2020, banned another Krafton title, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) following which the company launched BGMI. India had ramped up scrutiny of Chinese businesses since a 2020 border clash between the neighbours that led to a ban of more than 300 Chinese apps, including TikTok.

„Băiatul a dus fata într-un loc din apropierea casei lui și i-a zdrobit capul cu pietre”, au transmis anchetatorii. După crimă, copilul s-a ascuns în baia familiei, unde a fost găsit de poliție, după mai multe ore.Corpul fetiței a fost descoperit de familia care o căuta, transmite Times of India. Cazul șocant s-a petrecut la scurt timp după ce un student s-a sinucis, tot în India, cel mai probabil din cauza faptului că jocul video PUBG a fost interzis de guvern. Tot în statul asiatic, un adolescent a cheltuit economiile familiei, echivalentul a peste 21.000 de dolari, în jocul video PUBG. Băiatul de 17 ani a folosit conturile părinților pentru a face achiziții în joc, pentru el și prietenii lui.
