Some users of popular chatbots are generating bikini deepfakes using photos of fully clothed women as their source material. Most of these fake images appear to be generated without the consent of the women in the photos. Some of these same users are also offering advice to others on how to use the generative AI tools to strip the clothes off of women in photos and make them appear to be wearing bikinis.Under a now-deleted Reddit post titled “gemini nsfw image generation is so easy,” users traded tips for how to get Gemini, Google’s generative AI model, to make pictures…

Scientists have found a new way to manipulate graphene to create a substance with record-breaking energy and power density.When incorporated into energy storage devices called supercapacitors, this new form of graphene could be the key to high-capacity, fast-charging energy storage that could deliver power more quickly than conventional batteries, the researchers said in a statement.The new material, called multiscale reduced graphene oxide (M-rGO), is created from graphite, a globally abundant resource. Researchers incorporated it into pouch cells, a type of rechargeable battery packaged into a thin, flexible, laminated foil envelope instead of rigid metal. The scientists published their findings Sept.…

It feels strange to realize that a TV show you’ve watched your whole life — thanks to endless reruns — now has just one surviving cast member.Iconic shows like All in the Family came from a different time, but their special place in popular culture keeps them from ever feeling truly old. They’re always there in the background, still popping up in reruns and conversations decades later.Time Does Not Stand Still for Classic TVWith the tragic passing of Rob Reiner in December 2025, All in the Family — widely seen as one of the most influential sitcoms, if not television programs, ever…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write AGEISM, FOODISM AND OTHER ISMS? Engaging with others through verbal communication – nowadays being pushed out and replaced by alternative ways prompted me to write Ageism and Other Isms. Few, in my world at least, seem to have the time for meaningful connections. Just talking or sharing information seems a dying art. Due to this trend, loneliness often sets in, as do new pathologies because of many preferring virtual reality to pulsating flesh and blood. I’ve always enjoyed sharing thoughts, ideas, information, vulnerabilities even, which I’ve found to…
Our successful request for Peter Kyle’s ChatGPT logs stunned observersTada Images/Victoria Jones/Shutterstock When I fired off an email at the start of 2025, I hadn’t intended to set a legal precedent for how the UK government handles its interactions with AI chatbots, but that is exactly what happened. It all began in January when I read an interview with the then-UK tech secretary Peter Kyle in Politics Home. Trying to suggest he used first-hand the technology his department was set up to regulate, Kyle said that he would often have conversations with ChatGPT. That got me wondering: could I obtain his…
NBC Crockett and Tubbs owe Tony Montana a debut of gratitude. “Miami Vice,” the beloved 1980s crime drama starring Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as a pair of undercover cops in the Magic City, found its way onto the small screen partly because the studio behind it had a similar — albeit cinematic — concept in the works. In an interview with the Television Academy, series creator Anthony Yerkovich revealed that Brian De Palma’s 1983 film “Scarface” played a part in getting “Miami Vice” greenlit. “I pitched ‘Gold Coast’ [the show’s original…

How do you treat that subtle transformation when a familiar space becomes alien or hostile?Trier: You make it sound like it’s a haunted house movie – I like that!

Susanna Hoffs made a trip to the East Coast for a couple of intimate performances, including one at the Ridgefield Playhouse in Connecticut on Saturday night. In a stripped-down setting, the singer presented new songs from her upcoming solo album, as well as a few classics from her legendary band The Bangles. With no opening act on the bill, Hoffs took the stage shortly after 8 p.m., joined by current songwriting partners Ryan Lerman (acoustic guitar) and CJ Camerieri (piano, trumpet). She kicked off the show with the Prince-penned Bangles hit “Manic Monday,” much to the delight of the audience,…
On October 7, a TikTok account named @fujitiva48 posed a provocative question alongside their latest video. “What are your thoughts on this new toy for little kids?” they asked over 2,000 viewers, who had stumbled upon what appeared to be a TV commercial parody. The response was clear. “Hey so this isn’t funny,” wrote one person. “Whoever made this should be investigated.”It’s easy to see why the video elicited such a strong reaction. The fake commercial opens with a photorealistic young girl holding a toy—pink, sparkling, a bumblebee adorning the handle. It’s a pen, we are told, as the girl…
One of my favourite lines from the book goes, “When you live in a small house, your lives intersect all the time. There’s no privacy, no way to conceal what is happening. Neither Susan nor I ever stormed off to our rooms and slammed the door and locked the world out, because neither of us had a room. Our lives were contained in a single bedroom and a single living room. There was a kitchen too and a toilet separated from the bathroom—which was an inordinate luxury—and four lives had to be managed within those walls. We had to live…
One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal’s body carries an identical genome yet still gives rise to a kaleidoscope of different cell types and tissues. A neuron doesn’t look nor behave like a muscle cell but has the same DNA. View Original Source Here
BBC America Television’s a delicate medium. A show can capture the public’s attention for years, only to squander it all with one poorly written season. Such is the case with shows like “Game of Thrones,” “How I Met Your Mother,” and “Lost,” which ruled the zeitgeist for years before their endings alienated many diehard fans. In some cases, these reputation-destroying moments all came down to a single episode that not only disappointed fans but ruined earlier seasons in retrospect. These 15 shows all have one thing in common: Their final…
Saturday Night Live had a fitting send-off for one of its most endearing cast members, Bowen Yang. The year-end episode was hosted by Yang’s friend and Wicked co-star Ariana Grande. It ended with a heartfelt sketch that also served as a tribute to Yang’s exit from the show. Bowen Yang leaves SNL after an emotional final episode Saturday Night Live sent off Bowen Yang in style. Yang originally joined the show in 2018 as a writer before transitioning into a cast member in 2019. During his seven-season run, Yang became a standout performer and a fan favorite. In the latest…
Last week, Steven Drozd revealed in a since-deleted post that he’s no longer in the Flaming Lips after a nearly 35-year-long run. The band hasn’t formally released its own statement, and neither has Wayne Coyne, but their current drummer Matthew Duckworth Kirksey did share some thoughts in an Instagram post today in collaboration with the band’s official account.“A lot of great friends and better people have come and gone along the way. I still love them, and miss them, and some of them are my family,” wrote Kirksey, who joined the Flaming Lips back in 2014. “This idea that Steven…
2026 has so much in store for us, at least when it comes to our wardrobes. One of the most exciting categories of any season is, in my opinion, shoes and that’s certainly no exception for the upcoming year. In addition to the vivid color palettes that are defining the season, the spring/summer 2026 collections are introducing a number of new shoe trends that we already know will land in fashion people’s closets in record time.I zoomed in on hundreds of runway images and can say with certainty that the eight shoe trends I’m presenting here will have the biggest…

The beloved ice hockey romance, Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid, just became a TV series and the acclamation in North America is louder than a goal horn when the biscuit is in the basket. Ice hockey can be sweaty, brutal and profane, but when it comes to sports romance, we can’t seem to get enough. It is overwhelmingly the most popular sport in romance, bar none. Heated Rivalry follows the lives and love of fictional professional ice hockey players Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov as they face their mutual attraction, their growing feelings, and the pressure of professional sports to…
Here at Live Science, we have created a guide to 22 gifts for nature lovers to give you some ideas of what to buy other people, but what about you?Items like cameras, binoculars, and telescopes aren’t impulse buys, and certainly not stocking fillers. They are also very personal purchases, and often expensive. Trusting someone else to make the right choice on your behalf is a gamble, and frankly, we wouldn’t always recommend it.If you’re a skywatcher, you’ll have a preference for what you like to look at; some telescopes will be more suitable for deep space explorations, and others will…
The WB The late Shannen Doherty’s 2001 firing from “Charmed” remains one of TV’s most infamous departures, and as revealed in a recent episode of the “House of Halliwell podcast, it’s something her former co-stars are still struggling to understand. Doherty, who played eldest sister Prue Halliwell during the first three seasons, was fired from The WB’s hit witch series after Alyssa Milano, who portrayed youngest sister Phoebe, allegedly demanded that her co-star be removed from the show or else she’d walk. Milano denies getting Doherty fired from “Charmed,” noting that…

Male solo artists dominate, though three female solo artists and two groups have also achieved the feat. 12/21/2025 Top Country Albums Designed by Lyanne Natividad Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem leads Billboard‘s Top Country Albums chart (dated Dec. 27) for the 31st consecutive week. This ups Wallen’s career tally of weeks at No. 1 to 217, allowing him to extend his lead as the artist with the most weeks at No. 1 in the chart’s 61-year history. Wallen’s achievement is especially impressive because he has amassed this hefty total of weeks at No. 1 in such a short amount of…
There’s a difference, of course, between “putting some music on” and “listening to music.” The first is just a nice way of disturbing the silence while you get on with some task or other, while the second is a way of transporting you into a world of emotion and expression. And so it follows that while the first doesn’t require an exceptional level of quality to be effective, the second benefits no end from sounding as close to the artist’s original intentions as is possible. For digital music, that’s lossless audio.You may have heard more about lossless audio recently, thanks…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write 1966 – Valkyrie Protocol? The story behind 1966 – Valkyrie Protocol grew out of my fascination with the idea that the Second World War didn’t really end in 1945 – it just moved into the shadows. In this book, I wanted to explore a secret, unofficial continuation of that conflict: a Nazi enclave hidden under the Antarctic ice, New Swabia, with Haunebu craft and underground complexes that survive into the Cold War and force the United States to fight a war that can never appear in history books. At…
Millions of chickens have been culled due to the threat of bird fluEmily Elconin/Bloomberg via Getty Images The US experienced its first known bird flu deaths this year, igniting concerns that the virus could set off a pandemic in people. Nevertheless, it still reined in the outbreak enough to warrant ending its emergency response – but public health experts warn the battle is far from over. “It is still a pandemic in [non-human] animals,” says Meghan Davis at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland. “And the virus is no less deadly now than it was before.” The pathogen behind the vast…
NBC Bowen Yang said a heartfelt goodbye to “Saturday Night Live” this week — and added a few laughs on his way out. Yang, who announced he’s leaving the NBC sketch comedy staple after seven years as a cast member, marked the occasion by playing a Delta airport lounge attendant serving up eggnog in the episode’s final sketch. In a wink to Yang’s exit, his character Ed announced that he’s retiring: “This is my last shift.” He waxed nostalgic about his time there: “I’m gonna miss everything about this place:…
