Normally found only in heavy metal bands or certain post-apocalyptic films, a “flame-throwing guitar” has now been spotted moving through space. Astronomers have captured movies of this extreme cosmic object using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope.

The new movie of Chandra (red) and Palomar (blue) data helps break down what is playing out in the Guitar Nebula. X-rays from Chandra show a filament of energetic matter and antimatter particles, about two light-years or 12 trillion miles long, blasting away from the pulsar (seen as the bright white dot connected to the filament).

Researchers created the most detailed map of the brain’s functional networks using data from people watching movies, including “Inception,” “Home Alone” and “Erin Brokovich.”

The most observant of our readers might have already noticed a small little detail about Oasis, a caveat that only the most eagle-eyed OSINT enthusiasts would catch – it’s basically a 1-to-1 copy of Mojang’s Minecraft.

And those readers would be right. Essentially, the “first AI-generated game” is nothing more than blatant plagiarism of everyone’s favorite sandbox, trained on thousands of hours of Minecraft gameplay and recordings of corresponding user actions, which resulted in a nearly identical, but worse in every aspect, “game” with a similar visual style, UI, gameplay mechanics, fonts, visual effects, animations, and so on.

One thing that doesn’t exist in the original Minecraft but is front and center in Oasis is, of course, AI hallucinations. Those who have tried it confirm that the experience is incredibly unstable, with environments often morphing into something else when not in the player’s direct line of sight, making the “first AI-generated game” a proof of concept at best, something that its creators, to their credit, openly admit, describing the current iteration of Oasis as a “technical demo.”
