What if you could experience the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) multiverse through your own eyes? Well, that’s the plan as Marvel has teamed up with Apple Vision Pro to bring their What If…? series to virtual reality.
Marvel and Industrial Light & Magic have announced a new hour-long “interactive story” based on the popular animated Disney+ show which takes the comic book franchises’ favorite superheroes and reimagines them in alternate universes all under the gaze of the mysterious Watcher.
It is the first-ever interactive Disney Plus story and is set to be released exclusively on Apple’s $3,499 Vision Pro headset and will allow viewers to jump straight into familiar MCU locations as well as engage with the characters within.
Announcing the collaboration on Wednesday (May 9) on X, Marvel Studios promised fans they would: “Experience breathtaking environments featuring new and iconic MCU locations, with stunning visuals and spatial audio.”
Adding cryptically, “Time, space, and reality are more than a linear path…”

Step inside the Multiverse like never before…

No story details have emerged yet but we can perhaps glean some insight from Marvel saying, ” learn the mystic arts, and be tasked with harnessing the power of the Infinity Stones.” It’s safe to assume sorcery is going to be involved and maybe even Master of the Mystic Arts, Dr Strange will feature. Who wouldn’t want to learn how to do those cool circular hand movements to create portals in a virtual world? Already, in promotional screenshots, we’ve seen Wong standing by as the user conjures up a spell.

When will ‘What If…? – An Immersive Story’ be released on Apple Vision Pro?
Dave Bushore, Marvel’s VP for Marketing, and Immersive Development took to LinkedIn to share his excitement.
Bushore wrote: “We’ve created something with this experience that is a first step, the beginning of the merging all of those things I love into much bigger universes…
“And for someone who was always asking What If, there couldn’t have been a better fit. So proud to share this and more to come very soon!!!”
Bushore has previously worked on several MCU films and is joined by writers David Dong and Phil McCarty, as well as executive producers who have been involved with projects like The Marvels and X-Men ’97.
While no specific release date has been announced, Marvel has stated that the What If…? An Interactive Experience will be ready “soon.” The news has sparked speculation about the potential for similar experiences based on other popular franchises, with some fans already expressing their desire to “play” episodes of shows like The Mandalorian.

Epic Games and Fortnite are set to make some fundamental changes to how the game works in the forthcoming weeks, according to Fortnite mega-leaker HypeX.
The changes will revolve around the game’s User Interface, something which Epic Games has rumored to have been working on for quite some time as the game has changed drastically, even over the last year.
The addition of new modes and games with the likes of Lego Fortnite and Fortnite Festival means that getting around the ever-growing Fortnite universe could probably do with a fresh coat of paint, and it seems that might be about to happen.
In a post on X HypeX leaked a screenshot showing what they described as “UPCOMING UI UPDATE — “New Nameplates & Social Nudges”
The most interesting part of this new bar that you can see in the image above is that it looks as though it will show your friends, as well as their Status and what game they are playing – presumably with the Fortnite ecosystem. That way you can see if one of your friends is running around in Star Wars in Lego Fortnite or even playing Rocket Racing.
It also suggests that there could be a method of profile pictures inbound, otherwise, those icons will all look a bit samey.
Could this be the beginning of a method of being able to easily flick between games to party up?
Life and history tell us there will be complaints about this change. Remember when they changed the recipe for Coca-Cola? Even though these changes, in the grand scheme of things, are small, they alter how we have fundamentally trained ourselves to look at Fortnite, and they could be part of bigger, albeit necessary changes going forward.
There is no indication of when any of these changes might drop, or even how close to being finished they are. We will keep an eye out and follow this up when we hear more.

While the dogwifhat (WIF) meme coin saw a 10% increase in price value over the last 7 days and is now trading around $2.87, it was outperformed by a lesser-known Solana meme coin, catwifhat (CWIF), which pumped over 300% this week.
Let’s delve into the details of what transpired recently in the meme coin sector.
WIF Price Prediction and Analysis
With dogwifhat now ranking as the #4 meme coin by market capitalization, behind only DOGE, SHIB, and PEPE, many analysts are scrutinizing WIF’s price and offering predictions. CRG, an analyst with over 137k followers on X, posted a WIF chart and tweeted, “Something like this maybe.”
His chart suggests that WIF might plunge to around the $2 support level before starting another pump, potentially hitting a new all-time high of approximately $5.

Moreover, CrediBULL Crypto, a highly popular crypto analyst on X with almost 400k followers, clarified his stance on the WIF meme coin yesterday. He stated that he is not currently shorting WIF and advised his followers not to speculate about his intentions.
CrediBULL Crypto explained that if he wanted to manipulate a coin, he would target small or micro-cap coins, which would be easier to influence compared to a multi-billion-dollar market cap coin like WIF. He suggested that the reason he is highlighting WIF is simply because its chart looks bearish at the moment.
Additionally, CrediBULL Crypto disclosed that he has not shorted WIF yet because he is waiting for a higher entry point. However, he transparently stated that if such an entry point presents itself, he will definitely consider shorting WIF. He urged his followers not to accuse him of manipulation if he proceeds with shorting, as he is openly sharing his plan.

Just letting you all know right now- didn’t short $WIF yet because I was looking for a higher entry which we didn’t get. That being said, if we do get it…I’ll most def look for a short. If/when that happens don’t start crying manipulation cus I’m telling you the plan right now… https://t.co/Cf08zvdPLm

Another prominent analyst, Ansem, with 390k followers, raised attention to the interesting journey of the WIF meme coin. Ansem cautioned against underestimating the power of crypto enthusiasts and the far-reaching influence of the internet.
He highlighted the surprising fact that WIF was included in an official Vaneck index when its market cap was a mere $100k in December, showcasing its unexpected rise to prominence.

never underestimate the power of CT degenerates & the distribution of the internet, $WIF in an official Vaneck index when it was only $100k market cap in December https://t.co/hGbw2hOErq

Catwifhat (CWIF): The New Meme Coin Sensation
Catwifhat (CWIF) is a competitor to WIF and caters to meme coin investors who prefer cats over dogs. This Solana-based meme coin traded sideways for weeks before beginning to pump a few days ago, surging over 300%. Although CWIF price corrected by 10% today, the current market cap is around $25 million.
With a much lower market cap than WIF, CWIF could potentially pump harder when the real meme coin mania returns. After all, we all remember what happened in late February and early March when all top meme coins started to explode in price.
CWIF’s official X account hinted at a new website and released a teaser, suggesting exciting developments on the horizon for this meme coin.

Insights from Jakob Bury – Best Meme Coins to Buy Now
Popular YouTuber Jakob Bury, with almost 40k subscribers, posted a video yesterday highlighting the best meme coins to buy now, including CWIF.
According to Bury, CWIF features a 4% auto-burn on chain transactions. It has a market capitalization of approximately $25 million, with the potential to reach $100 million, as per his prediction. CWIF recently received verification of its circulating supply and market cap on various crypto platforms and enjoys high trading volume.

Bury also mentioned three other interesting meme coins. Firstly, Dogeverse incorporates Wormhole and portal technology, providing multi-chain accessibility. It had an initial price per token at $0.0031, with a strong fundraising performance. Dogeverse has a limited supply of 200 billion tokens to prevent inflation, and its roadmap includes potential listings on centralized exchanges.
Secondly, WienerAI quickly raised over $1.3 million in presale, with the token price set to increase in just 2 days. Bury holds a personal investment in this coin, with ownership of 8.7 million tokens. This meme coin combines AI technology with the appeal of meme themes.
Lastly, Sealana is the newest meme coin on Solana, currently in presale, and has raised over $300k within the first few days. It is positioned as a high-risk, high-reward investment and is inspired by various meme themes.
Sealana, like many meme coins, requires traders to send Solana (SOL) tokens to a designated wallet address to participate in its presale. In return, investors receive SEAL tokens when the presale concludes. Sealana’s presale model, with no hard cap and a first-come, first-served approach, has been successful in raising funds quickly.
Conclusion
All in all, catwifhat (CWIF) has emerged as a potential contender in the Solana meme coin sector, outperforming the more established dogwifhat (WIF) in recent price movements.
With analysts closely watching WIF’s trajectory and new meme coins like CWIF, Dogeverse, WienerAI, and Sealana gaining visibility, this sector remains dynamic and intriguing for meme coin enthusiasts.

Bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX has accumulated billions of dollars more than necessary to cover the losses incurred during its collapse in November 2022.
FTX CEO John Ray voiced his astonishment at the milestone in a commentary to Bloomberg, indicating the exchange’s ability to fully reimburse its over 2 million customers. With the upcoming sale of its assets, FTX is expected to have approximately $16.3 billion in cash, surpassing its $11 billion debt to customers and other non-governmental creditors. Ray said:
In any bankruptcy, this is just an unbelievable result.
While bankruptcy victims will receive full payments with interest, court documents suggest that equity holders are unlikely to receive any residual amounts. Depending on the type of claim, some creditors could potentially recover up to 142% of their owed amounts. Still, most customers may receive 118% of their account balances at the time of the bankruptcy filing.
FTX’s restructuring advisers suggested setting up a fund to compensate certain creditors, using funds that would have otherwise been collected by regulatory bodies. The timeline for this initiative is not yet clear, but payouts are expected to occur in the coming months.
Markets react
Following the news around the defunct exchange’s newfound wealth, FTX Token (FTT) — the trading platform’s native token — surged to $2, gaining over 33% according to CoinMarketCap data. The cryptocurrency exchange collapsed in November 2022 amid allegations of embezzlement and misappropriation of billions of dollars in customer funds involving its owners and affiliated hedge fund Alameda Research.
Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, was sentenced to 25 years in prison and ordered to pay back $11 billion. FTX’s collapse sent waves through the crypto industry, with digital asset lender Genesis filing for bankruptcy shortly after causing troubles at major exchange Gemini and a legal battle.

Whatever the industry, more and more people are using artificial intelligence to assist with their work, especially since the launch of ChatGPT. Many workers and students now use the tool to write documents, essays, and more. It often speeds up the process of creating content and managing the mundane aspects of work. While they aren’t taking over the world yet, they are quickly evolving and have reached a stage where they can be useful, at least in the right circumstances.
Of course, all AI writing software requires some level of human oversight to achieve the best results. Without it, the software can generate content that is rather generic or even hallucinate facts, even though it may appear to be written by a human. As AI tools gain popularity, people are becoming more adept at recognizing the often bland nature of AI-generated content and are likely to either identify it or at least be suspicious of content that seems to lack a human touch.
How do AI writing tools work?
Predictive text on a smartphone or keyboard works in a similar way to AI. It essentially provides an “educated” guess as to what a user might say next based on their history of typing in a specific app. The difference is that it will rely on what other people have said as well, and find some level of commonality.
For example, if typing the sentence “The cat sat on the,” the model predicts the word “mat” based on the input sequence. It’s a simplistic illustration, but in reality, the model considers a vast number of possible continuations based on its training data and selects the most likely one.
Some large language models (LLMs) now use internet searches to gather information relevant to their writing prompts, which they then integrate into their responses. While earlier versions tended to produce stiff and robotic output, developments in algorithms and programming have allowed AI writers to produce more human-like responses. These days, most are using OpenAI’s ChatGPT models to power their tools.
Which is the best free AI app for writing?
ReadWrite decided to ask AI itself for a text prompt to assess how well it would fare:
Write a 250-word short story about a character who discovers a hidden world within their favorite childhood book. The story should include:

A vivid description of the hidden world, including its unique features and inhabitants.
The character’s emotional journey as they explore this new world and confront their own nostalgia.
A surprising twist or revelation that changes their perspective on the book and their childhood.

Copy.ai
Copy.ai’s free trial uses ChatGPT-3.5, hence it is limited in terms of vocabulary and sophistication. Using the given prompt, it managed to create a story about a woman named Evelyn who discovered a magical library hidden in a garden.
Copy.ai went with the classic “The Secret Garden” as its nostalgic read
While the story was quite pleasant to read, several noticeable AI traits appeared. For one, it used the main character’s name in every paragraph. Several words seem to be commonly used by ChatGPT, such as “nostalgia,” “abundance,” and “vibrant.” Combined with the repetitiveness, it seemed rather obvious that AI was used.
The pro version of Copy.ai uses ChatGPT-4, so it may produce better results. It’s unclear whether the app will incorporate new versions of the LLM, as OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman revealed that ChatGPT-5 is on its way.
Copy.ai is also compatible with a variety of other AI models including Azure and Anthropic, which makes it more flexible for delivering results. Another piece of good news is that the company has a zero-retention data policy.
Like OpenAI, Copy.ai has a free version with limited words, while the Pro version starts from $36 per month for five users, and has unlimited capacity.
Anyword
Anyword is a little bit more complicated to use as it doesn’t bring the user directly to the writing app. It offers a variety of writing options, including 1,000-word SEO-friendly blog articles, social media posts, and ad campaigns. If you just need a simple text prompt box, you can find it under “general prompt” on the dashboard.
“The Enchanted Forest” seems to be a common feature with these AI tales
However, it allows you to change the tone of voice from neutral to rebellious, or even to a multi-tonal style incorporating three dimensions. There is also the capability to target specific audiences, whether they are nostalgic readers or creative writers. When kept neutral with a broad audience, it produced a similar copy, characterized by the repetition of names and overly flowery language. Nevertheless, the story was creative but seemed to heavily favor the fantasy genre.
Using other filters, it generated a tale almost identical to the first, including the same phrases such as “The Enchanted Forest,” “newfound,” “intertwining,” and “grandmother.” It’s quite apparent that it has a defined notion of what constitutes a childhood book.
ChatGPT-3 is known to repeat certain words such as ‘intertwine’ and ‘realm’
The Starter plan with one seat costs $39 per month paid annually. The Data-Driven plan costs $79/month, and the Business plan is $349 per month.
Writesonic
Writesonic is another free AI writing tool, with an interface comparable to ChatGPT as it has a dark left-hand side panel. Like Copy.ai, the unpaid version is powered by ChatGPT-3.5 among others, but has better billing options than OpenAI. The company states that it is “agnostic” about using a variety of LLMs.
“Our proprietary AI Model Gateway, called GPT Router dynamically routes between multiple AI models, thus speeding up responses and ensuring the best quality output as well as non-stop reliability,” it says on its website. These include Meta’s LLama and Google’s Gemini models.
Writesonic has an almost identical interface to ChatGPT bar the brand colors
The AI article writer can create long-form content pieces and includes a chatbot assistant named Chatsonic. When tested with a text prompt, it produced a slightly more imaginative story, making it more reliable than other tools.
Although there is a free version, Chatsonic costs $12 per month when paid annually and claims to offer output quality comparable to GPT-4 and Claude 3 Opus. The individual plan costs $16 and includes additional features such as an SEO optimizer, plagiarism checker, and a tool for facts and citations.
Rytr
Rytr, with a name that phonetically resembles “writer,” adopts a no-nonsense approach by featuring a straightforward interface like that of a writing pad. That being said, it still allows users to select the tone and use case of the output. Using the “story plot” function, it produced a tale almost identical to one by Anyword.
Amelia and “The Enchanted Forest” made a comeback with Rytr
Not only did “Amelia” have a copy of “The Enchanted Forest,” but she also showed a penchant for streams and creeks. Hence, it is obvious that Rytr also uses ChatGPT-3 for its content writing.
Rytr is free to use, with unlimited queries available for $7.50 per month. In comparison, ChatGPT-4 costs $20 per month currently. The difference is that Rytr offers other features such as a plagiarism checker and SEO toolkit.

Render (RNDR) outperformed other top AI cryptos in the last seven days with an impressive 40% pump. While other notable AI coins such as NEAR, GRT, and TAO also experienced gains, their rallies were more modest, ranging from 15% to 25%.
This rally in AI-focused cryptocurrencies has been accompanied by a surge in the stock price of Nvidia (NVDA), a Nasdaq-listed chipmaker widely considered the poster child for AI technology. As the demand for AI-related products and services continues to grow, Nvidia’s hardware solutions have become increasingly valuable, driving up its stock price.
RNDR Price Prediction: Breaking Out of the Descending Channel
On the RNDR/USDT chart, we can observe that after hitting a 2024 yearly high of around $13.8, RNDR started trading within a descending channel, marked by blue lines on the chart below.
However, following this most recent pump, RNDR broke out of this channel and surpassed the $10 resistance level, where the price was previously rejected in late April. At the time of writing, RNDR is trading around $10.6.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently stands at 66, indicating that the asset is in overbought territory, which could suggest a potential pullback or consolidation in the near future.

Render price chart
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line is now below the MACD signal line, signaling a potential bearish crossover. This could indicate that the current uptrend might be losing momentum, and a reversal or correction could be on the horizon.
Additionally, the 200-day moving average (MA) is currently at $5.9. This long-term MA serves as a crucial support level, and if RNDR manages to hold above this level, it could indicate a bullish continuation of the uptrend.
Given the recent breakout from the descending channel and the surpassing of the $10 resistance level, Render token could potentially continue its upward trajectory in the short term. However, the overbought RSI and the potential bearish MACD crossover suggest that a pullback or consolidation phase might be necessary before any further significant gains.
If the RNDR price manages to hold above the 200-day MA of $5.9, it could find support and potentially aim for higher targets, such as the previous yearly (and all time) high of $13.8. Conversely, if the price fails to hold above the 200-day MA, it could potentially retest lower support levels.
5th Scape: A New AR and VR Crypto Project
In other news, YouTube content creator Michael Wrubel shared a video with his 312k subscribers, highlighting a new crypto project called 5th Scape (5SCAPE).
In the video, Wrubel expressed his bullish stance on the project, which focuses on Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies.

5th Scape (5SCAPE) is a pioneering project in the AR and VR space, aiming to create the world’s first ecosystem connecting bright minds in these fields.
The project delves into VR games, hardware, and animations, offering an immersive experience that transcends traditional gaming. Its upcoming game ‘MMA Cage Conquest‘ was submitted for listing on the Meta Store on May 2nd.
