All weapons in Destroy All Humans! 2 Reproved


Destroy all humans! 2 Reprobed is an open-world action-adventure game set 10 years after the events of the first game in the 1960s. At this point, the Soviet KGB discovered that the President of the United States was the invader Furon Crypto and destroyed the mothership with Orthopox-13. However, to take revenge on the KGB, you will need powerful weapons.

Here is a list of all weapons in Destroy All Humans! 2 Reproved.

All weapons in Destroy All Humans! 2 Reproved

  • probe – Back from the original Destroy All Humans! game is the probe. Although the weapon carries a time limit, it’s still a pretty powerful (and comical) item. Sends a projectile that penetrates the target’s rectum and destroys it from the inside.
  • burrowing beast – The Burrow Beast lets you summon underground beasts and command them to devour your target. It’s also the only weapon in Destroy All Humans! 2 Reprobed which is not unlocked through the main story.
  • Disintegrator Ray – The Disintegrator Ray blasts enemies with a powerful beam that can disintegrate them into dust. It is also an automatic fire rifle that will sometimes set the opposition on fire.
  • dislocator – The Dislocator allows players to lock onto an enemy or vehicle and fire a disc that will attach to your target and cause it to bounce and take heavy damage. Discs always automatically return to the weapon’s magazine as well.

  • free love – Free Love is a pair of glasses that you can use to confuse your enemies with rays of love and force them to dance. Essentially distract everyone nearby and force targets to dance simultaneously. As a result, it is considered a non-lethal weapon primarily used to cover your tracks.
  • Gastro gun – The Gastro Gun fires a drone that will attack enemies in place. This allows you to swap for another weapon in the middle of combat and let the drone focus its fire on the desired target.
  • Ion detonator – The Ion Detonator is another returning weapon in Destroy All Humans! 2 Reprobed which lets you throw timed, high-explosive grenades at your opponent. It carries a massive blast beam and can even be telekinetically manipulated.
  • weather strike – After choosing a target area, Meteor Strike opens a portal in the sky that drops a barrage of meteors before hitting the ground and demolishing everything in its path.
  • Zap-O-Matic – The Zap-O-Matic is the weapon you start with in Destroy All Humans! 2 Reproved. It unleashes electrical currents that will stun and electrocute your enemy. It also does not require ammunition and its battery recharges itself.

A new form of artificial intelligence is born that learns and imagines like humans


Meta, the company run by Mark Zuckerberg that controls Facebook and Instagram, claims to have a new model of artificial intelligence that mimics the way humans reason and that it will bring us much more realistic images than what we have seen so far.

The new model is called I-JEPA (Predictive Joint Image Embedding Architecture) and according to its developers it will completely change the way images are analyzed and created. Meta has announced that it will give researchers access to the components of I-JEPA so they can develop their own products with it.

An AI with common sense

I-JEPA is based on the ideas of Yann LeCun, the lead AI researcher at Meta and one of the fathers of artificial intelligence according to some. LeCun advocates bringing artificial intelligence closer to the way humans think. For this, it is key to teach the AI ​​common sense or, in other words, models of how the world works.

“Human and non-human animals seem capable of learning enormous amounts of prior knowledge about how the world works through observation and through an incomprehensibly small number of interactions in an unsupervised and task-independent way,” LeCun says. “It can be hypothesized that This accumulated knowledge can form the basis of what is usually called common sense.

Meta researchers think that common sense can be seen as a collection of models of the world that can give guidance on what is probable, what is plausible, and what is impossible. Something that is useful, not only for cope with unknown situations and predict future outcomes, but also to complete the missing information.

The brain map of the six LeCun models. (Goal)

To achieve this, LeCun proposes to create an architecture based on six modules: the configurator module, which is in charge of the executive control of the rest of the modules; the perception module, which receives signals from sensors that help it understand what is happening outside; the world model module, which allows estimating what information is missing from the data provided by perception and predicting plausible future states of the world; the cost module, which seeks to minimize the cost in the long term and, according to LeCun, is where the basic impulses of behavior and intrinsic motivations reside; the actor module, which optimizes the sequence of actions and performs the first action in that sequence; and the short-term memory module, which is responsible for keeping track of the current and expected state of the world, as well as the associated costs.

How this applies to imaging

Modern generative artificial intelligence systems create images from text with a model called ‘diffusion’. These AIs, like Midjourney or Stable Diffusion, they are trained with hundreds of millions of different images that are accompanied by a text description. The model then decomposes the image into a cloud of pixels and then reverses the process to learn how to convert that pixel noise into the original image.

I-JEPA, however, applies its six models to provide the system with ‘common sense’ and avoid the usual errors of current generative AIs, such as deformed hands and extra fingers. “I-JEPA learns by creating an internal model of the outside world, that compares abstract representations of images (instead of comparing the pixels themselves),” the company explains in an article published on Tuesday.

The system, they say, predicts the representation of parts of an input, which can come from an image or text, from the representation of other parts of the same input. The idea is fill in the missing information in an abstract representation similar to how we humans understand information.

The benefits of this method are, according to studies carried out by Meta, a higher efficiency in imaging and in the use of the computational capacity of computers and a lower incidence of biases related to this type of technology. Even so, the researchers warn that this is only the beginning. “We look forward to working to extend the JEPA approach to other domains, such as image-text paired data and video data,” they write. “In the future, JEPA models could have interesting applications in tasks such as video comprehension.”

I’ve seen the dark side of Palworld: you can capture, sell and kill humans without limits. And it’s not the worst of all


In the few days that Palworld has been on sale, it has already left us with some very curious anecdotes. The survival adventure is characterized by the fact of capturing and training the Pals, in addition to putting them to work in each one’s base to take care of and monitor it. However, they are not the only beings that inhabit this immense open world, since they also there are humans.

You can capture Pals with Pal Spheres, like Pokémon’s Poké Balls. Of course, it turns out that they are not the only ones you can catch with them, which has made me realize that the game hides a rather shady dark side. And it turns out that you can throw one of these objects at humans themselves to capture them and add them to the collection.

What’s more, capturing them causes them to become like any of the Pals, which means that you can enslave them and place them in the base to help you with any of the tasks. It’s not that they do much, since they don’t have special skills, but at least something is something. Even so, the situation may go even further.

Another option that exists is to trade with them, because you can visit merchants and traffic with humans, since you can sell and in exchange they give you 500 coins for each one of them. Or directly, instead of doing any of the steps indicated above, you can kill them and get out of trouble, although if they are neutral you run the risk of being searched and captured.

Between one thing and another, it is clear that the game has a somewhat wild, brutal and dark component, but there is even more. You can see the worst of this whole matter in the following video, in which you can see that the captured humans you can dismember them completely to turn them into food, thus turning your character into a cannibal. Anyway, if that matters little to you, at least you will have something to feed the character or the Pals.

From all this it is clear that Palworld It offers total freedom for everyone to behave the way they want, even though behavior of this type is not viewed very favorably.

Slavery is also present in Palworld: you can capture humans and sell them or put them to work


When Palworld was announced, many users were quick to call it the “Pokémon game with machine guns”, which has allowed its popularity to be so high that it has broken several records within Steam. It is true that one of the basic mechanics that we can find in the game developed by Pocket Pair is the capture of creatures through the use of artifacts such as the classic Poke-Ball. However, the truth is that These types of devices also work with humans.

Just hours after the game was made available through Early Access (and also on Xbox Game Pass), players have discovered that we can capture humans in Palworld. In addition to the creatures that we can find throughout the map, the game also has several human NPCs spread throughout the different areas. However, the surprise came when streamer Coney He managed to capture a human using a Palsphere.

Capturing humans in Palworld is possible

In the video that you can find in the previous link, you can see how the streamer launches one of these Palspheres in an ironic way against an NPC. However, his surprise is enormous when he sees that the capture process that we can find with the rest of the creatures is also carried out, to the point that manages to capture the human NPC. In fact, in the tracking section the message appears that “a human captured”, as well as the notice that “on the island of Palpargos, the capture of humans in the Palsphere is considered inhumane.”

Some users have not given credit to this decision, claiming that it brings Palworld closer to practices such as slavery. In fact, having captured a human, we can decide to have him fight for us or complete our tasks in the camp. Furthermore, there is also the possibility of sell them on the black market for a good amount of money. And if that were not enough, we can sacrifice them to create materials.

Without a doubt, it has been a quite controversial decision, so it will be necessary to see if Pocket Pair retracts this decision, or if they continue to commit to maintaining an element that has been setting social networks on fire in recent hours. Be that as it may, it seems that Palworld will continue to be the absolute protagonist of all the debates in the coming days.
