NAB, a camera and production-focused trade show, is one of the events I look forward to annually – this year was no different. NAB 2024 was chock full of new hardware and software releases that will affect large productions with pro cameras all the way down to small at-home productions with an iPhone serving as an A-cam.

In this hands-on video, I traverse the showroom floor of the Las Vegas Convention Center in search of some of the best of NAB 2024 from an Apple user’s perspective. I cover some exciting new updates to the amazing LumaFusion mobile video editing app, an exciting newcomer in Prismatic that promises to enhance production workflows, an update to the Blackmagic Camera app, Promise’s upcoming Thunderbolt 5 RAID enclosure, the Atomos Ninja Phone, and lots of new iPhone and iPad-centric hardware as well. Watch our hands-on, and be sure to subscribe to 9to5Mac on YouTube for more videos.

Create intricate production lines and grow humble villages into thriving metropolises while moving through prime eras such as the introduction of steam power and the invention of the combustion engine. Become a pioneer of industry and work to keep your citizens happy through the interconnected world of the railway.

From a single warehouse, build a thriving interconnected world of villages and cities as you expand your rail network and evolve your society.

Vastly Customisable Railway Networking
Connect your settlements to ensure a painless transit for workers and civilians using platforms, stations and intricate routes complete with signals to expand and link together your network.

Evolve Your Industry – From Steam to Diesel
Plan your settlements to fit both the landscape and needs of your citizens. Create basic and advanced production lines to ensure the most economical movement of resources. Take advantage of the mighty railway to automate production and meet ever-growing needs of your settlements.

Be a Person of the People
Your citizens have needs and get tired as they work. It’s important that you maintain their happiness and requirements by ensuring they have accommodation, water, food and more as you scale up your cities. Unhappy or tired workers are less productive and will be detrimental to your production lines.

Game Description After the devastating “Great Economic Collapse of 2028,” survival is the only thing that matters. The average person is compelled to join armed groups, engaging in battles for resources and control over what were once the cities and towns of the United States.

You belong to a small gang based in New Citadel City, and your bunker’s supplies are dwindling. You’ve been chosen to venture into the concrete ruins on rumours of an unlooted police station on the edge of town—a high-risk, high-reward mission.

After breaking in through an unguarded entrance, a sense of dread fills your mind as you realise who has taken refuge in this station and question whether the entire thing was a setup by your own gang…

Genre: Survival horror with stealth, puzzle, and combat mechanics.

Game Features

• Run, hide, or kill those in your way to stay breathing
• The “Faceless Gang” will hunt you in teams or on their own
• Push through the station while scavenging for supplies and a way to escape
• Once the sun goes down the real danger begins…
• Deep exploration into a dystopian vision of the United States
• Hide under tables, in lockers, between shelves, or shadows to stay unseen
• Search for weapons to defend yourself, though gunshots draw attention…

MOBILEHEROES GLOBAL 國際賽歡迎各國團隊參與

國際賽的特色是歡迎全球的團隊參與。全程使用英文的國際賽 Mobileheroes Global 在今年是第五度舉辦。去年有來自加拿大、台灣、南非、韓國、印度、盧森堡等國家的三十四個團隊，以先進的技術、成熟的商業模式參賽，獲得評審高度肯定，能夠「出國比賽」的團隊果真有兩把刷子。

去年的優勝團隊自韓國與台灣，跟其他進入決賽的團隊，在頒獎典禮現場交流。這正是參與國際賽的好處之一，認識國外團隊，找到開拓國外市場的合作伙伴。特別的是，已有國際團隊與台灣的系統整合廠商簽訂備忘錄，帶來不同的技術與服務，準備在台灣市場大展身手。

每年的國際賽都獲得相當好評，每一屆都有多個台灣團隊參加，與各國好手同台競爭。今年的國際賽預計將吸引更多國家、更多團隊來報名，歡迎大家來打世界盃。

競賽主軸與贊助企業對作品的期待

今年的主軸是在5G、物聯網、人工智慧等領域提供創新的解決方案或服務，有很大的想像空間，有個重點是期待可以在台灣商業化，評審會針對這一點給予較高的評價。

從過往的參賽作品來看，2023年國際賽作品中，進入決賽的主題包括5G節能、5G網路優化、AI智慧交通、AI智慧製造、AR應用等等，相當多元化，詳請可參考2023年國際賽優秀團隊報導文章。

評分重點在創新、技術成熟度與商業模式

參加國際賽首先要盤點的是英文能力，在報名時提交英文版構想書和影片，接著在參賽過程中：

還會遇到更大的挑戰，包括在業師輔導活動與決賽中，使用英文簡報，理解業師或評審的提問，並即時以英文回答。

從前面幾屆的經驗來說，國際賽的參賽作品在技術成熟度與商業潛力都有相當突出的表現，也就是充份「準備好」的團隊或公司才有機會跟其他團隊一較高下。所謂「技術成熟度」是指團隊提出的產品或解決方案，以目前的技術來說已能達成，而且團隊本身也要具備相關技術與專業知識。而「商業潛力」是指在台灣尋找合作夥伴的可行性或其服務在台灣是否具有商業發展潛力。

技術成熟度與商業潛力是評審特別看重的焦點，如此一來優勝的團隊才有足夠的實力接受市場嚴格的挑戰。

此外，「這個作品創新嗎？」或是「你的作品跟別人有什麼不同？」是評審在檢視作品時首先浮出的想法。「創新」是指參賽作品在目前市場上尚未出現，並能改善甚至解決現有的問題，或參賽作品可以改善現有產品/服務不足之處，可以說創新不足的作品難以進入今年競賽的前二十強。

以上是競賽辦法中明確列出的評分項目，根據過往評審提出的意見，還可以注意這些事項：

• 今年生成式AI邁入第二年，如何透過 AI 協助產業轉型，是值得研究的主題。
• 發掘真正的使用者需求，並據此提出可實際應用之情境或空間。能解決使用者的真正需求，就有機會符合產業界的期待，進軍市場或促成商業合作。
• 你的商業模式是否經得起評審的檢視，包括目標客層、價值主張、通路、顧客關係、收益流、關鍵資源、關鍵活動、關鍵夥伴與成本結構等等，都要有具體的規劃。

今年國際賽冠軍獎金為美金3萬元，第二、三名分別是美金2萬元與1萬元，這麼好康的比賽，請點入官方網站參加。

國際賽進入決賽的團隊可以參加通訊大賽舉辦的業師輔導活動，由企業家、行業專家、專業顧問組成，輪流扮演不同的董事會角色，討論企業面臨的重大決策議題。由參賽團隊擔任「執行長」進行工作報告，包括公司業務介紹與提交給董事會討論的議題，接著由董事會成員就市場實務面向給予經驗指導及實質建議。

2023年參賽團隊表示，在活動中可以跟不同的業界專家交流，獲得商業媒合機會。面對業師直白的提問，經歷了一場震撼教育，發現自己想像的市場，跟真實市場的差距。換個角度來看，則是發現以前想不到的應用機會，也對國際市場有新的想像。這一系列活動讓團隊可以校正發展方向，提升創業成功的機會。

過往的業師提到，蠻多團隊擅長技術，但不知如何把技術轉成有市場力的商品，這是通訊大賽能幫忙的重點之一，也有專家提到，產品的量產與行銷，甚至進軍國際市場，都是通訊大賽可以提供的資源，也有許多過往參賽的團隊因此而茁壯。

通訊大賽除了是競賽，更是連結參賽團隊與企業的生態系統。主辦單位規畫了許多活動，協助團隊解決問題或進行交流，這些活動包括：

• 技術諮詢
• 合作伙伴與商機交流
• 業師輔導諮詢
• 跨領域輔導
• 國際交流活動
• 人才媒合交流

預計於10月下旬為國際賽決賽團隊舉行企業參訪，近距離跟企業交流可能的合作機會。 

媒體曝光機會

如果新創團隊的產品適合參加競賽，一旦獲獎將可得到媒體曝光，讓更多人認識新創團隊與產品，有助於召募人才及開拓市場商機。

越來越多使用者拋棄Google 轉向TikTok和Reddit搜尋答案

Google搜尋的演算法已經被AI驅動的搜尋引擎最佳化（SEO）垃圾內容淹沒，推送結果充斥低品質內容，甚至整個Internet都充斥著AI剽竊、生成的無價值內容。AI大潮的到來，讓幾大科技巨頭感到緊張，Google也不例外。

隨著AI的出現，Google搜尋的劣質內容越來越多，現在已經有越來越多的網友放棄Google搜尋，轉而使用TikTok和Reddit搜尋，直接從其他使用者獲取答案。

Google搜尋的演算法已經被AI「奪權」

據瞭解，Google搜尋演算法的內部工作原理一直是一個嚴格保密的秘密，很多人試圖弄清楚它的運作方式並從中賺取了大量金錢。讓Google將使用者內容排名更靠前的搜尋引擎最佳化（SEO）技術，是一項報酬豐厚的技能。

但現在，Google搜尋的演算法已經被AI驅動的SEO垃圾內容淹沒，阻止人們找到他們想要的內容。機器人為機器人編寫的內容堵塞了人類的搜尋結果，AI驅動的內容工廠以人類作家無法匹敵的速度生成內容。

這些垃圾低品質內容被AI最佳化，以一種超越任何人類編寫內容的方式適應Google SEO。如果你點選現在的頂部搜尋結果，你會發現充滿錯誤和虛假資訊的低品質內容。但Google演算法無法識別這一點。

儘管Google佔全球搜尋市場超過90%，但Google搜尋結果變得越來越糟的事實已經不是秘密了。垃圾網站和Google演算法開發者之間的戰鬥已經進行了多年。現在垃圾網站加入了AI可以說如虎添翼，Google似乎無法跟上發展的步伐。

例如，去年12月的一次大規模的垃圾郵件攻擊完全壓倒了Google的演算法，垃圾內容利用Google演算法來壓制真實的搜尋結果。當然，Google正在試圖解決這個問題，但顯得事倍功半，讓使用者不能相信Google能提供可靠的答案。

尤其是當使用者尋找想要購買的產品的資訊時，附屬連結垃圾內容的排名始終高於真實資訊，並且數量龐大。一位Reddit用戶表示：「我感覺每次我嘗試使用Google，我得到的搜尋結果完全與我輸入的內容無關……比如我會輸入貓用牙膏，第一個結果是狗用牙膏。我會用儘可能多的特定詞彙搜尋一個問題，因為顯然這是一個小眾主題，我還是會得到同樣沒有我想要的東西的結果。」

抄襲、低品質內容充斥整個網路

一個德國研究團隊證實了這一問題的真實性。他們發現所有搜尋引擎都存在相同的問題，無論是Google、Bing和DuckDuckGo，所有搜尋引擎都在高度最佳化的內容上存在重大問題，所有搜尋引擎都成了大規模附屬連結垃圾郵件活動的受害者。簡而言之，他們發現搜尋引擎將提供大量附屬連結的低品質文字。他們不會優先考慮來自可信來源且寫得很好的內容。

但這還不是最糟糕的，整個網際網路都在走下坡路。在ChatGPT出現後，AI機器人開始在網路上刮取內容來訓練它們的模型：人類的寫作、藝術、圖片以及製作的所有東西被無差別複製，然後用這些來產生低品質的類人寫作。

但SEO最佳化的、AI驅動的網站正在將這提升到一個新的層次。例如，一些「部落格作者」每天發佈數百篇AI文章，但這些沒有任何資訊加值，這些垃圾完全是為了取悅現在控制網路的機器人上帝而定製的，而他們的唯一任務是討好偏愛新鮮內容的Google演算法。

有媒體認為，所有這些的可能最終結果是，機器人將繼續寫大量文章以取悅其他機器人。

而且，現在也不能指望Google新聞推送的都是可靠信源網站的新聞了。有時候，Google搜尋會將低品質AI網站排在真正的人類編寫的優質新聞報導之前。而且，有些站點甚至敵不過新的AI內容。有媒體報導，AI會複製在可信網站上發佈的文章，並在這些文章首次發佈幾秒鐘後在AI驅動的內容工廠上重新發佈這些文章，憑藉這些偷來的內容在Google新聞上獲得了高排名。

尋求真人解答 YouTube、TikTok、Reddit受歡迎

這並不是說Google沒有意識到他們的使用者信任度正在下降，儘管Google可能在解決這個問題，但AI工具比人類快得多，機器人在壓制搜尋引擎並無所不用其極地將這種情況正當化方面沒有任何負擔。

因此，隨著Internet上越來越多的垃圾文章和垃圾郵件的氾濫，人們正在回歸向人類尋求答案，也就是YouTube、TikTok和Reddit。在那裡，他們至少可以詢問真正的使用者意見，或看到他們評價產品。

當然，這種方法也有風險。企業公司可以支付大量金錢給YouTube、TikTok網紅，來在他們的視訊中推廣劣質產品，讓消費者上當受騙。但這一切都取決於消費者願意信任什麼，因為有的人寧願信錯人也不願信錯機器人。

此外，Reddit也無法解決機器人帳戶刷評論的問題，但那裡有人類版主可以阻止和刪除垃圾郵件。不過，人類干預也並非絕對安全，而找到解決這個問題的方法可能還需要一段時間。如果在這整個困境中有什麼積極的事情，那就是人們正在回歸向人類詢問他們的意見。隨著網際網路上資訊喪失使用者信任，到最後，人們可能只能回到過去，只向親朋好友尋求建議。
