Kangaroo video from Veo 3 gathered 7 million views and deceived users

A video rapidly spread on Twitter depicting a kangaroo with a ticket in its paws not being allowed on board an airplane. In one day the video gathered 7 million views, despite the author’s indication about creating content with artificial intelligence.

Particularly revealing is the audience reaction: a significant part of users perceived the video as documentary evidence, entering into serious discussions about animal rights to air travel. Some claimed that the little kangaroo “causes less trouble than a drunk tourist”, while opponents insisted that “airplanes are for people”, and animals’ place is in the cargo hold. Also interesting is the emergence of parallel discussions about choosing the optimal animal for “emotional support” during flight.

The technological basis of this phenomenon was the Veo 3 model from Google company — one of the first video generation systems automatically integrating sound accompaniment and character speech. It was precisely the high degree of realism achieved through synchronization of visual series, sound effects and speech that became the key factor causing mass perception of artificial content as documentary.

And this episode with viral spread of generated kangaroo video may represent a significant indicator of generative artificial intelligence technologies reaching a critical threshold of realism. Beyond which public consciousness loses the ability to distinguish real and synthetic content.

Anthropic accidentally revealed an internal document about Claude's "soul"

Anthropic accidentally revealed the "soul" of artificial intelligence to a user. And this is not a metaphor. This is a quite specific internal document.

Jensen Huang ordered Nvidia employees to use AI everywhere

Jensen Huang announced total mobilization under the banner of artificial intelligence inside Nvidia. And this is no longer a recommendation. This is a requirement.

AI chatbots generate content that exacerbates eating disorders

A joint study by Stanford University and the Center for Democracy and Technology showed a disturbing picture. Chatbots with artificial intelligence pose a serious risk to people with eating disorders. Scientists warn that neural networks hand out harmful advice about diets. They suggest ways to hide the disorder and generate "inspiring weight loss content" that worsens the problem.

OpenAGI released the Lux model that overtakes Google and OpenAI

Startup OpenAGI released the Lux model for computer control and claims this is a breakthrough. According to benchmarks, the model overtakes analogues from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic by a whole generation. Moreover, it works faster. About 1 second per step instead of 3 seconds for competitors. And 10 times cheaper in cost per processing 1 token.
