NEW YORK — Some sharp reversals kept financial markets unsteady on Thursday, as oil prices rose and U. S. stock indexes finished mixed. The S&P 500 fell 0.5 per cent for a second straight loss after setting its all-time high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 51 points, or 0.1 per cent, and the Nasdaq composite fell 1.3 per cent as technology stocks took particularly hard hits. Stocks felt pressure from a 4.1 per cent rise in the price for a barrel of Brent crude oil, the international standard, to US$104.28.

However, that assumption might change once you learn about a company called Valtor, the brainchild of engineer-turned-CEO Sergio Arias. He leads a small but ambitious team of designers and engineers like himself, who’d previously caught people’s attention with the Azor GT concept last year. Now they’re back at it once again with the Eaglon, an evolution of the Azor and something that could easily be mistaken for a Ferrari by those who don’t know their automotive lore.

There's currently some tension between the video game industry and the proliferation of AI tools. You can see the evidence of this in a recent development regarding the upcoming indie game Drunken Goddess Reflux. It's a game with the objective of imbibing alcohol until a demon vomits up her soul, a decidedly unique premise that would be hard for any AI to come up with. As spotted by Rock Paper Shotgun, though, the developers had to cancel an upcoming public demo session. The decision is partly due to concerns that AI could quickly clone it for someone else's financial benefit. Instead, they will hold closed sessions for a "limited number of participants. "
