According to US media, the post was live on the platform for around 17 hours.Deepfake images of celebrities are not new but activists and regulators are worried that easy-to-use tools employing generative artificial intelligence (AI) will create an uncontrollable flood of toxic or harmful content.

Restaurant Owners Are Fed Up With Reservation-Hoarding Bots

[ad_1] To score a table at Don Angie, the Italian-American hotspot in New York's West Village, the official course of action is to log on to the restaurant booking site Resy at 9 a.m. seven days before the desired dining date. At least, that's the policy that chef-owners Angie Rito and Scott Tacinelli have set up for potential diners.But those who have recently tried to book those elusive seats via the reservation platform know they rarely open up. If you head over to Appointment Trader, however, and are willing to pay up to $125 just for the opportunity to walk through the door, you can start bidding on seats for any day for the next few weeks. The issue of seats disappearing that should be available began last summer, says Rito. “But it has become more pronounced over the last few mon...

Sam Bankman-Fried, the fallen wunderkind of cryptocurrency

[ad_1] He was the face of cryptocurrency, and a young one at that -- a media darling seemingly destined to unite the sector.But Sam Bankman-Fried's stunning rise to prominence and wealth would be matched by his spectacular fall, and with it that of his platform FTX. In the space of just a few months,  the Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate with a degree in physics had taken a startup he founded in 2019 and built it up into the world's second-largest crypto exchange platform. He quickly became more than just a young entrepreneur, fashioning himself as an ambassador of crypto and making his first appearance in Congress in December 2021, testifying before lawmakers on the then-novel form of currency.The public would come to know a seemingly oddball whiz kid with a mop of curly ...

Even the Google Trial Is Talking Up the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce Rumors

[ad_1] ChatGPT doesn't know whether Taylor Swift is dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.That example was used by Microsoft Corp. executive Mikhail Parakhin this week at the US Justice Department's landmark antitrust trial to illustrate how Alphabet Inc.'s market-dominant Google search engine can't be easily replaced or challenged by new technologies, such as chatbots. The OpenAI chatbot allows users to type in a query and receive a written response, but the data used to train the artificial intelligence system is based on older information culled from the web. Without fresh data — the type provided by users searching for new topics like the pop singer's latest beau — it's unlikely to provide an accurate answer. Swift's rumored new boyfriend Kelce, the two-time Super Bowl wi...

As Grammys slaps ban on AI music, copyright question makes waves; Discord caught in row too

Be it compact discs, MP3 players, or websites capable of streaming/hosting songs, the music industry has always suffered the consequences and come out in protest. The biggest reason? Copyright issues. Music is one of the most vulnerable intellectual properties as it is very easy to pirate or steal, modify, and repackage to divert revenue from the artists and the record label.But so far, the industry has always been able to get the law and regulations on its side to fight off any threats. CDs pirating songs were declared illegal, music players can only show official sources to stream/download songs, and music websites have to pay the artists and the label their...
