Wasting a lot of time watching Shorts and Reels? This app puts you back in control.

Sane Scrolling is an Android app developed by IJagan that blocks short-form videos on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram while allowing access to features like direct messaging and feeds. Users can set timers to limit their video consumption, and once the timer expires, they can watch an ad for additional viewing time. The app includes advertisements, and a payment is required to block videos across multiple apps. In-app purchases are one-time fees, not subscriptions. The free version allows timer extensions through ads, while paid users incur an extra fee for extensions. Future updates may introduce features like per-app timers and the ability to block scrolling through feeds.

Oasis is an interactive AI experience that turns Minecraft into a nightmarish hallucination

Cupertino-based startup Etched has launched Oasis, an AI experiment that offers a low-definition, surreal interpretation of Minecraft, described as a "hallucinated clone" where each frame is generated based on player input. Currently, it operates on Nvidia's H100 GPUs at 360p and 20 frames per second, with plans to enhance graphics to 4K resolution using advanced hardware. The platform can support up to ten users per H100 with the introduction of Sohu, a specialized AI ASIC technology. Oasis was trained on a dataset of recorded Minecraft gameplay and does not rely on traditional game engines or code. Etched is also exploring AI-generated interactive video content, aiming for large, low-latency models for various sectors. Oasis is intended as a demonstration of real-time AI content generation capabilities, operating legally by drawing inspiration from open-source projects like Minetest.
