Oct 17 (Reuters) - Short-video platform Triller Inc is the latest company to stake its claim in the metaverse with the launch Monday of a new platform called Metaverz. The virtual performance is one of 2,000 events Triller and its subsidiaries plan to host in the next year, a majority of which will happen in the real world and in Metaverz. The Triller video sharing app launched in its current form in October 2019, and has looked to take on larger rival TikTok. Triller recently raised $310 million from Global Emerging Markets, a Luxembourg-based private investment group, in anticipation of going public as soon as next month. Triller CEO Mahi de Silva said the company is losing money, but expects to cross into profitability by 2023.

Now come the tricky next steps for his Central Military Commission: implementing sweeping changes to its leadership, which commands China's two million-strong People's Liberation Army, potentially tightening Xi's grip over the military and its modernisation. Among those expected to step down are the body's vice chairmen, Generals Xu Qiliang and Zhang Youxia, both 72. Diplomatic challenges are also mounting, as China's military modernisation confronts the traditional U.S. strategic dominance in East Asia. Who is chosen could shed light on Xi's military priorities. "There is no shortage of senior military officers who internally parrot Xi's 'fight and win' mantra, but the conundrum for the PLA is the lack of operational experience," said Alexander Neill, a private military analyst.

More than two dozen people were rushed to hospitals in eastern Pennsylvania on Tuesday following an apparent carbon monoxide leak at a day care center, officials said. When firefighters arrived, their monitors for carbon monoxide in the atmosphere immediately went off, Christopher told reporters at the scene. A “vast majority” of the hospitalized were children of “pre-K to elementary school-age,” Christopher later told NBC News. All of those hospitalized were stable and none of them were listed in serious condition, he said. There were no carbon monoxide monitors in the building, officials said.

Profilul său este foarte bine construit, conține elemente care o individualizează pe piață, iar brandurilor deja nu le mai pasă cât e de reală o astfel de prezență în social media. Seraphine este doar unul dintre cei 125 de influenceri virtuali activi în social media, potrivit lui Travers. Iar aceasta este doar la începutul drumului către sumele exorbitante pe care le pun pe masă companiile. Aceasta a derulat campanii pentru Calvin Klein, Prada, dar și pentru alte branduri de fashion și, cel mai probabil, o vom mai vedea colaborând cu nume mari din industrie, scrie Yoda.ro. Și, probabil, sumele pe care le cere pentru colaborări sunt de ordinul miilor de dolari, așa că nu-i de mirare că își poate permite chiar să aibă „propria companie”.
