Good night, the following are the current events of the week selected by Zouzou for you/you:

• Extra gender｜Women’s World Cup kicks off

Did you know that the “Women’s World Cup” is also a four-year event? The Women’s World Cup, which began last Friday, is co-hosted by New Zealand and Australia, the first time two countries have hosted an event. Not only that, the number of participating teams has also come to an unprecedented 32 teams. There are as many as 8 teams participating for the first time this year. Compared with only 12 teams in the first competition in 1999, it can be seen how fast the women’s football competition has grown.

The most gratifying growth is that this year’s championship bonus is as high as 110 million U.S. dollars, which is nearly four times higher than the previous year’s 30 million U.S. dollars. Although it still can’t match the $440 million of the men’s World Cup. But the rising business opportunities in the future are more likely to continue to “raise wages” for players. Do you have a favorite women’s soccer team? Welcome to share with us!

• I can’t be the only one who “sees” | Magic potion helps Cuban boy regain his sight

Antonio Vento Carvajal’s family brought him to the United States 11 years ago to find a cure for his rare disease. Antonio was born with epidermal decomposing blisters commonly known as bubble dragon disease. Blisters would keep growing all over his body, including his eyes, causing his eyeballs to be covered by scar tissue for many years.

But in the process of treating the skin, his attending doctor Dr. Alfonso Sabater (Dr. Alfonso Sabater) discovered that the new gene drug can suppress the symptoms and stimulate the cells to grow the missing type 7 collagen ( COL7A1) . Under the bold assumption, he decided to try the same drug to treat the eyeball. Now Antonio’s right eye vision has recovered to 0.8, and his left eye, which is still under treatment, has also recovered to 0.4. If there is no accident, this new drug will benefit at least 3,000 patients who have the same disease as Antonio.

• Hot discussion in the community｜Twitter bird, bye bye

  Musk is at it again. The eccentric genius richest man once again made an astonishing decision, and acted in a hurry. The blue bird logo deeply rooted in the hearts of the community giant Twitter has disappeared from the homepage overnight, replaced by a big black X symbol. According to Musk, this is one of the major transformations of Twitter, which is on the verge of bankruptcy. The name of Twitter will be completely replaced by “X”. But what kind of change such a change can bring to X users is still unknown.

• The Birth of an Idea｜Intel Finds Flaws in “Deep Fake” Videos

The troubles created by AI can only be dealt with by AI! The “Deep Fake” (Deep Fake) technology, which uses AI to replace the face of the protagonist of the film, has caused many Internet rumors or digital violence since its inception, causing headaches for governments around the world. However, Intel, a major technology company, thought that since AI is so powerful, it had no choice but to use its own methods to deal with its own body. It established the “FakeCatcher” project, which uses AI technology to identify deepfake videos!

According to the BBC report , Mask Catcher found that the blood flow on human faces changes regularly with emotions. By carefully capturing the details, it is possible to distinguish between real faces and AI-made faces, with an accuracy rate of 96%! However, this method is currently unable to check videos that are too short in length and low in quality, and needs to be refined to survive in the “Internet Jungle”.
