From an Aztez god to Minecraft star. Why does Mexico love the axolotl so much?

The axolotl, scientifically known as Ambystoma mexicanum, is a critically endangered amphibian that serves as a symbol of identity and resilience for the native people of Mexico. It is particularly significant in the context of the chinampas, ancient floating gardens in Xochimilco. The axolotl has gained international fame through popular culture, including its inclusion in the video game Minecraft and its depiction on the 50-peso bill by the Central Bank. In Mesoamerican mythology, the axolotl is linked to the god Xólotl and the myth of the Fifth Sun. Biologically, the axolotl can regenerate parts of its heart, spinal cord, and brain, and has dual breathing capabilities through gills and skin. It can live up to 15-20 years in captivity, compared to a few years in the wild due to habitat degradation. The health of the axolotl is closely tied to the condition of its habitat, which faces pollution and urbanization threats. Conservation efforts are essential for both the axolotl and the chinampas, highlighting the importance of community involvement in preserving these cultural and ecological treasures.

Google launches ‘Whisk’ for fast AI-generated imagery and updates Veo 2, Imagen 3

Google has launched an AI experiment called Whisk for Labs testers, which allows users to generate images by uploading images that define subject, scene, and style. Whisk uses Gemini and Imagen 3 to extract characteristics from the uploaded images, creating variations in attributes like height, hairstyle, and skin tone. It features a "review and edit" option for users to refine generated images and provides a detailed description of the creation process. As of December 16, U.S. Labs testers can sign up to explore Whisk. Additionally, Google has updated Imagen 3 and Veo 2. Imagen 3 now offers brighter and better-composed images with improved adherence to prompts, rolling out globally in ImageFX within Google Labs. Veo 2 has been enhanced to create high-quality videos in 4K resolution, allowing for detailed descriptions and improved understanding of expressions and movements. The updates for Veo 2 are being rolled out in Google Labs' VideoFX, with plans to integrate it into YouTube Shorts and other products in the future.

Current gameplay includes playful interactions with pigs, and while it lacks the complexity of original Minecraft, there are plans for future updates including survival mode, minigames, and multiplayer options. The game operates on a ‘pay what you feel’ model.
