The controversial company OpenAI has recently released its dedicated video generation app called Sora 2 and, as to be expected, its video feed has become flooded with copyrighted IPs. More than any other company, Nintendo’s franchises seem to be populating the app en masse, and there are already thousands of…
Super Mario Bros. is one of the most well-known video games ever made, so you’d think it would be impossible for there to be new discoveries made about its development or its code. Never count out a speedrunner, though. In a recent video posted by prolific Mario speedrunner Kosmic, he…
