Just a few weeks ago we knew that Shakira’s song with Bizarrap had become the most played in the history of the Argentine producer’s channel. An incredible success where the context is the usual beef she throws at her ex-partner, Gerard Piqué. Now, however, Shakira returns to talk about the founder of the Kings League in “Acróstico”, her latest song. However, without throwing such a spicy dart and showing that, above all, a song of love for her children.

Under the name “Acrostic”, Shakira composes a beautiful song dedicated to Milan and Shasa. But what does “acrostic” mean? When in a poetic composition the initial, middle or final letters of each verse form a word or phrase, that is an acrostic. In this theme in question, during the beginning you can read by joining the first letters of each word that appears “Milan“, the name of her first son. Later, if you do the same in the middle of the song, the name that appears is that of “Sasha”, her second son.

Although the song is a declaration of love for her children, during the two minutes and fifty-one seconds that the song lasts there is time to also talk about Gerard Piqué. For example, at one point he comments that “I tried not to let you see me cry, not to let you see my fragility”, clearly alluding to when the couple was having a hard time because Piqué was already in a relationship with Clara Chia, his current girlfriend.

She also stresses that, in spite of everything, “love is not a scam”, although she ends the song with a very clear message to her ex-partner: “If things get damaged, don’t throw them away, repair them, face the problems and deal with them“. No explanation needed, right? There is no clearer way to say that Piqué did not face the problems and ran away from them. However, he wants to end on a colorful note and says that “you have to laugh at life” even if “the wounds hurt” and “give your whole heart” when you are in a relationship.

Here are the complete lyrics of Acróstico:

///

You taught me that love is not a scam, and that when it’s real, it doesn’t end.

I tried not to see me crand, not to see mand fragilitand, but

Things are not alwaands as we dream

Sometimes we run, but we don’t arrive

Never doubt that I will be here

Talk to me and I’m going to listen to andou…

And even if life treated me like this

I will be strong just for andou

All I want is andour happiness

And be with andou

Your smile is mand weakness

love andou

Serves as an anesthetic to pain

makes me feel better

I’m here for whatever andou need

You came to complete what I am

Onland one plate broke, not all the crockerand

And although I don’t know how to turn the other cheek

Learning to forgive is wise

That onland love comes out of those lips

If things are damaged, theand are not thrown awaand; are repaired

problems are faced and faced

You have to laugh at life

Even though the wounds hurt

If andou have to give andour whole heart

Even if theand hurt andou for no reason

All I want is andour happiness

And be with andou

A smile from andou is mand weakness

love andou

Serves as an anesthetic to pain

makes me feel better

I’m here for whatever andou need

You came to complete what I am

Serves as an anesthetic to pain

makes me feel better

What happens when your salary is late? One of the things that makes us most angry is when we have to collect our salary and it doesn’t arrive. It causes frustration and discomfort, especially because it means that we will have to talk to our boss to remind him/her that he/she owes us money.

During these months, the world of artificial intelligence has not ceased to surprise us. The launch of GPT-4 by OpenAI was a declaration of intent and has left many astonished due to its capabilities. Now it is the turn of Midjourney, which has just announced Niji-Journey V5, its anime version.

In mid-March, the team led by David Holz showed the world Midjourney V5, an even more powerful version of the generative model. Among its new features, we find that it is now capable of generating higher resolution images with a greater variety of styles. Many have been those who have shared the results in networks and of course, the results are incredible.

No dejan de sorprenderme los resultados que consigue Midjourney v5. Es increíble lo rápido que se ha avanzado en esta tecnología en tan poco tiempo.

¿El prompt? Tan sencillo como:

"Photograph of Elon Musk with stop hand, red tones –v 5 –ar 3:2" pic.twitter.com/F2XRzR7Cam

— Carlos Santana (@DotCSV) March 30, 2023

At the moment, to use Midjourney we will have to use a bot that works through the start-up’s official Discord. Like Stable Diffusion or DALL-E 2, Midjourney works through prompts (written descriptions).

Niji-Journey, the most Japanese version of Midjourney

In this case, Niji-Journey is a new artificial intelligence model designed to generate anime and manga-style images. “Niji”, pronounced as “nee-gee”, means rainbow in Japanese and promises to give us some spectacular works, like the ones shown here below.

Testing out the newest update for Midjourney, NijiJourney v5, that's tuned specifically on anime aesthetics.

Turn it on using /settings or add "–niji 5" to the end of your prompts.

Check out a few of these: pic.twitter.com/aLpmlcLUpV

As with Midjourney, you will have to access its official Discord channel to try it for yourself. Access through this link and start creating new works of art.

Sports video games have always struggled to mimic the reality of different disciplines without losing sight of the fun. Despite this, there is one sport that has managed to be replicated in an exceptional way: golf.

While golf may seem easy to imitate in a virtual environment, the truth is that it also has its complications. However, the developers have managed to accurately recreate the complexities of the sport, from the use of the different angles to the steep slopes of the greens, not to mention the precision of the spin effects with each club.

In view of the celebration of the Augusta Masters, here are the best golf games you can try today:

PGA TOUR Golf Shootout

PGA Tour Golf Shootout is a golf game developed for Android and iOS by Concrete Software Inc. and released in 2019. The title focuses on one-on-one online matches, in which players compete in a series of golf holes in real time and against other players from around the world.

In addition, we can unlock and upgrade our golf clubs, some with special powers. Then, we can also compete in single or multi-hole quick matches online to earn rewards and move up the leaderboard.

EA SPORTS PGA TOUR

After a reasonable time without PGA Tour (the last one was PGA Tour 15), EA is back with a new release that will be launched on April 7. Within this PGA Tour we will find the most important Masters of the PGA Tour and of course, we will manage golf stars.

In the game we will see 30 different fields and a very elaborate system of play, something that will delight fans of this sport. As if that were not enough, EA Sports has had the collaboration of the PGA itself to ensure that what we experience is as faithful to reality as possible.

PGA TOUR 2K23

PGA Tour 2K23 is not a typical triple A, but it will certainly provide you with a large dose of fun. Within the title, you’ll find a large number of professional golfers and other relevant sports figures, such as Michael Jordan (or John Cena himself).

The title produced by 2K is ideal even for those who are not very experienced with golf. Its controls are easy to learn and it also lets you create your own golf course. One of the main novelties of the title is the inclusion of Topgolf, a new mode full of mini-games, each one more entertaining than the previous one.

Golf Battle

Do you play on mobile most of the time? Maybe Golf Battle is the ideal game for you. In it, you will be able to challenge thousands of players from all over the world and challenge your friends in one-on-one matches. The golf courses will be fun and will give you challenges to overcome: slides, pipes, rivers… the obstacles are endless.

Its controls are very intuitive, so anyone with more or less experience will be able to play Golf Battle. In addition, it offers the possibility of progressing while you build a powerful golf equipment and improve your own clubs.

Golf Clash

The truth is that with Golf Clash, you will have a different perspective of golf and you will be offered something more casual. Just as with Golf Battle, you’ll confront thousands of online players, all in real time. As you advance and gain experience, you’ll be able to move up in weekly leagues and earn bonuses to get better items. And of course, don’t forget to unlock free reward chests as you progress through the game.

No secrets. AuronPlay has commented (and showed) in a live on Twitch how much he earns with each YouTube video. And yes, the figure is still really high, so much so that he himself has admitted that “it’s too well paid“. For example, for one of his latest videos, which has generated 2.4 million plays, the amount earned is no less than €5,900 gross. Even he asks followers if “isn’t that too much money?”.

Similarly, he also commented that with a video of the same series (Contraband Police) he obtained 3,000 euros with 1.4 million views (which is also very good). This variation is due to the length, since the first video lasts 51 minutes, which “creates a great retention”. The second, on the other hand, is shorter (41 minutes) and also has fewer views.

The particularity of all this is that AuronPlay earns all this money with his secondary channel, where he uploads the live streams he makes on Twitch. Therefore, he emphasizes that only with these reproductions “could continue to live very well” from the creation of content. Mind you, with Twitch he doesn’t get wet, since he has a contract. “Twitch I can’t show anything because I have a contract, but YouTube pays a lot, despite being the eternal forgotten one,” he explains.

Although it is not possible to calculate how much he earns per month, since it depends a lot on the CPM (cost per thousand) of each YouTube ad, it can be calculated that having about 40 million reproductions, the amount that the youtuber earns goes beyond 70,000 euros gross per month. And this only with YouTube, we repeat.

The Xokas is in the news again: the Galician streamer has turned Twitch and its way of handling things with the most popular content creators upside down. Known for his funas, his way of talking, and his brashness, he has made clear his opinion on Kick, which he describes as “promising”. Will we see the Xokas doing live from Kick in the near future?

For a few years now, Xokas has established himself as one of the biggest streamers in Spain, with thousands of subscribers and hours viewed. However, his success on Twitch has not helped him to have a better relationship with the platform and he may be making eyes at Kick.

Kick, Twitch’s new rival

During a live show, Xokas bet on Kick’s early success (the platform is offering a large amount of money to content creators). In addition, the Galician has confirmed that Mr. Beast, one of the biggest figures of the Internet, will go to Kick to create content there, which would be a big bombshell.

The Xokas is very tired of Twitch: in his words, they have never shown him “love”, even though he was one of the few creators who had not migrated from YouTube. With all this, he let slip that he wouldn’t mind moving to Kick: as of today, the Xokas doesn’t have any kind of contract with Twitch (like AuronPlay or Rubius), which would allow him to broadcast whenever he wanted from both places.

So what is it about Kick that has caused such a stir? Apart from the large sums of money that streamers would get (they would go on to earn 95% of each subscription, while on Twitch it is 50%), it also has less harsh rules. This has led to the fact that certain content such as betting and gambling can be transmitted without problems on Kick, something that is prohibited on Twitch.

Shout out @Trainwreckstv and @KickStreaming for making the payments process smooth.

You would need 16k subs on twitch for this. This is around 7k subs on kick.

This is literally life changing. Make the switch to Kick today and live a life you never thought you could.?? pic.twitter.com/dj2d9fA3Sy

— Ac7ionMann (@Ac7ionMann) April 2, 2023

For the moment, Xokas has not made it clear whether he will leave or not, but he has stated that he feels very burnt out from streaming. Will we finally see him on a new platform like Kick?

Nowadays, good time management is everything. It seems that there are never enough hours in the day to finish everything we have pending. Artificial Intelligence promises to help us in our tasks, as is the case of the well-known ChatGPT, OpenAI‘s chatbot.

However, if you are tired of always relying on ChatGPT for your tasks or to find answers, you have other options that can save you many hours of work. The user @copy_romero shows us through Twitter 6 websites and applications that can help you optimize your time and increase your productivity.

ChatGPT es fenomenal.

Pero no te limites a ChatGPT.

Aquí tienes 7 sitios web de IA para ahorrarte mucho tiempo y trabajo:

— Carlos Romero | Copywriting ✍ (@copy_romero) April 2, 2023

Writesonic

Writesonic is a copywriting tool that uses artificial intelligence to generate marketing content in a matter of seconds. It is ideal for any business that needs a large amount of content quickly but without sacrificing quality.

In this case, Writesonis is powered by GPT-3, one of the most accurate and powerful models in the field of artificial intelligence. Behind it is OpenAI, creators of ChatGPT and GPT-4, the model used by the new Bing.

When you create your Writesonic account, you will be able to make use of several functions such as ChatSonic (the closest thing to ChatGPT), AI Article Writer, generate blog titles, paragraphs and much more. In fact, you can even generate ads for social networks like Facebook (even create Twitter threads). Writesonic is paid but also offers a free trial with which you can test some of the features it offers.

Cutout Pro

Cutout Pro is a platform focused on visuals that offers a wide range of tools powered by artificial intelligence. Its main objective is to facilitate the task of designing and composing images for projects and others. With Cutout Pro you will be able to do many things: improve photos, restore images, eliminate backgrounds, prepare prints, etc. It even has a meme generator.

In short, Cutout Pro is the ideal tool for anyone who needs a website that can edit both images and videos. Its interface will be quite intuitive, even for those who are not familiar with this type of websites.

Tribescaler

Do you use Twitter a lot? Do you want your account to grow in reach and followers? If so, the truth is that Tribescaler can help you with it. It is an application that uses artificial intelligence to generate Twitter hooks. It is especially useful for those creators who need to post constantly or simply strengthen their online presence.

The secret of Tribescaler is that it “learns” from existing content on Twitter. Based on that, Tribescaler makes your tweets much more interesting to your audience. The application has a free trial with which you can make use of all these functions.

Runway

That artificial intelligence is capable of recreating hyper-realistic photos and videos is already a fact. Tools such as DALL-E 2 or Midjourney have made this task easier for the general public and it is not uncommon to see creations of these models swarming around social networks. Runway is part of this family of generative models and its capabilities are quite impressive.

However, Runway goes even further as its focus is on videos. The tool is able to perform complex edits: erase backgrounds in a few steps, generate images, remove people, use chroma key, etc.

Watermark Remover

It literally does what its name suggests: remove watermarks. You only have to upload the image you want to retouch through its website or a link (up to 2,400 x 2,400 pixels). The formats supported are PNG, JPEG, JPG and WEBP, the most popular on the Internet. In addition to a website, Watermark Remover also has an application for mobile devices so you can do this process from anywhere.

To work its magic, Watermark Remover makes use of artificial intelligence (as you might have guessed). First, it predicts the area where the watermark is located and then separates the colors and recreates the background. The truth is that it gives very good results, but like many programs on this list, it is paid.

Reface

A few years ago, Reface became fashionable among users as it was one of the first applications to allow the creation of deepfakes. As if that were not enough, it is also very simple and easy to use. All we have to do is choose a face from our photo gallery and change it with any celebrity. In no time, your face could appear in a video clip of Olivia Rodrigo, for example.

However, it is also paid. Reface lets us try its features for free for a few days. After that, it will force us to subscribe to some of its plans, either annual or weekly.

Have you had enough of searching all over Google for that exact image that would be great for your work or project? If you are tired of this happening all the time, we give you the solution: generate them yourself.

Thanks to the artificial intelligence boom, this is possible and quite easy too. Generative art models can recreate from your requests exactly the image you were thinking of. And the truth is that it doesn’t matter if you use it professionally or not: the process is so accessible that (literally) anyone can participate.

DALL-E 2

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, launched DALL-E 2 last November and since then, it has become the most popular image generator in the industry. Its incredible ability to produce high quality images has not gone unnoticed by the public.

The DALL-E 2 website is very intuitive, which means that anyone (even non-technical people) can easily use it. All you have to do is describe what you want to appear in the image. Any detail will help DALL-E 2 bring your vision to life. The model will then generate four images from your message. If you are not satisfied with the result, you can always modify your prompt and try again.

The best thing about DALL-E 2 is that you can get 50 credits for free during the first month and 15 credits the following month. In case you need more, you can also buy more in addition.

WOMBO Dream

WOMBO Dream’s great success has earned it first place as best overall app in the Google Play Awards 2022. With this app, creating art has never been easier. All you need to do is enter a short description and WOMBO Dream will generate a unique and stunning image.

One of the great advantages of this generative model is that you can choose from different design styles: realistic, expressionist, comic, abstract…the list is long. This way, you can create an image that perfectly suits your needs and personal tastes. In addition, the application has a desktop version, which is also very easy to use.

If you also want to take your experience to the next level, you can opt for the paid version. For $90 per year, $10 per month or a lifetime subscription of $170, you can enjoy additional features that expand your creative possibilities.

DreamStudio

Behind DreamStudio is Stability AI, the startup responsible for Stable Diffusion and one of the most popular image generation models along with DALLE-2 and Midjourney (which we’ll talk about later). This is important to know, since Stable Diffusion is the heart and soul of DreamStudio.

Like other models, DreamStudio makes use of artificial intelligence to generate images through descriptive text. If you want to try it, you have to know that you have an initial (free) limit. After that, you will have to pay a minimum of $10 to recharge your credits and use it. DreamStudio allows you to modify many parameters before you start creating: the size of the image, the number of generations, how faithful it has to be to your description, etc.

One of the great advantages of DreamStudio is that Stable Diffusion is open source. This means that any expert in the field can contribute to improve the tool.

Midjourney

If you are looking for an AI generator that produces sharp and realistic images, Midjourney may be the option you are looking for. This model surprises even the most experienced users, as it is capable of generating works of great visual quality.

The precision with which Midjourney works is impressive to say the least. By using this tool, you will get results that, in some cases, look like totally real images. If you want to start using it, simply go to its website and join the beta via Discord.

Once you’ve signed up, you’ll have access to 25 free generations. If you like it and want to continue using it, you can choose one of the different payment plans it offers (starting at $8 per month). In addition to its ability to produce incredible images, another fun advantage (or disadvantage, depending on how you look at it) of Midjourney is that you can see the creations of other users in real time through Discord.

Midjourney is getting crazy powerful—none of these are real photos, and none of the people in them exist. pic.twitter.com/XXV6RUrrAv

AI Time Machine

If you are a regular user of TikTok, you have probably seen the viral portraits from another era generated by artificial intelligence. These images were created by MyHeritage’s AI Time Machine application. What it does is to use users’ photos to create realistic portraits of what they would look like in different historical eras.

You’re going to have to wait, though: the results can take 30 to 90 minutes, but the good finish will make it worth the wait. If you’re looking for a way to simulate your own “period” portraits, use the free trial offered by AI Time Machine.

If you’re bad about waiting, you also have the option of paying $12 to get your photo. In either case, the result will be a fairly realistic image of yourself in different eras.
