Unreal Engine 5 Revealed! | Next-Gen Real-Time Demo Running on PlayStation 5
Unreal Engine 5 empowers artists to achieve unprecedented levels of
detail and interactivity, and brings these capabilities within practical
reach of teams of all sizes through highly productive tools and content
libraries.
Join Technical Director of Graphics Brian Karis and Special Projects Art
Director Jerome Platteaux (filmed in March 2020) for an in-depth look
at “Lumen in the Land of Nanite” - a real-time demonstration running
live on PlayStation 5 showcasing two new core technologies that will
debut in UE5: Nanite virtualized micropolygon geometry, which frees
artists to create as much geometric detail as the eye can see, and
Lumen, a fully dynamic global illumination solution that immediately
reacts to scene and light changes.
Also present in the demo are next-gen features already available in
Unreal Engine 4.25, such as Niagara VFX improvements, Chaos physics and
destruction, animation system enhancements, and audio advancements.
Unreal Engine 4.25 also includes support for next-gen consoles.

Facebook still refuses to ban political ads, including false ones
While Google and Twitter have recently taken steps to directly tackle the undermining of elections, the effects of misinformation and election interference, Facebook has recently announced that it will not be taking any such steps of similar measure.
Google has decided to prevent its services from being used to target specific groups of people for political ads, and Twitter has outright banned political ads on its platform. Facebook has not outlined any similar steps in its recent statement on political ads on the platform, instead it is offering a library of political ads to browse and more user control over the number - and not accuracy or honesty - of the ads they see.
Facebook’s inaction on this matter has had very real negative practical effects on peoples lives and nations around the world, from the US, UK, EU and elsewhere. One of the most egregious uses of the Facebook platform the company has allowed was for the spreading of rampant xenophobia and misinformation used to motivate the genocide against the Rohingya people in Myanmar.
Facebook argues it should not be the one regulating political ads but government should, which is something made difficult by the lack of federal standard on the matter in the US. Both Daniel Kreiss, a journalism professor at the University of North Carolina and Sam Jeffers, co-founder of Who Targets Me, an advocacy group researching political advertising both agree that it should not be up to any individual company to decide which limits to set on political ads and whether to allow them or not, but instead should be decided by journalists, academics and other forms of accountability.

Taiwan’s powerful “Speak Up” Political Ad (with English Subtitles - click CC)
Taiwanese President Tsai’s released a video urging Taiwanese citizens to vote during this Saturday(1/11)’s presidential election. The Ad comes at a time when much is at stake for the island nation. Revelations about interference and infiltration by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) among the nations political entities have rocked the nation.
This was while major protest took place not far away in Hong Kong over the CCP’s attempt to subvert the rights of Hong Kongers through an extradition bill, which would pave the way for the territory to be subjected to violations like the genocide the CCP is committing against the indigenous Uyghur people of East Turkestan, a nation the CCP seized in 1949.Today an estimated 1 to 1.8 million Uyghur people are forcefully held in concentration camps re-labeled by the CCP as “re-education camps”, where they undergo torture, starvation, sexual assault, medical experimentation, organ harvesting, brainwashing and more. A further 1 to 2 million Uyghurs are believed to be held in outright detention centers and prisons, with 500,000 Uyghur minors forcefully held in “boarding schools”.
The Ad touches on both these realities the CCP is responsible for by using footage related to both realities, which are understandably of great concern, but even more due to the designs the CCP has publicly stated it has for Taiwan (denying its
rightful
independence from the CCP, and intending to bring it under CCP rule), contrasting the disparity between the lives of the Taiwanese and those suffering under CCP oppression, effectively making the point for what’s at stake if CCP agents are allowed to seize control of the nation.
