Zaya Wade is certainly a fashion darling, and her relationship with Miu Miu is proof. The 16-year-old model and activist stars in the brand’s fall 2023 campaign, alongside luminaries like Emma Corrin and Ethel Cain. For the photo shoot, Wade wears a mustard-yellow skirt suit with an oversize jacket and a textured collar. The skirt falls at her knees and features a back slit. She completes the look with a gray cardigan, the Miu Miu Arcadie bag in brown, and slingback heels. Photographed by Zoë Ghertner, the campaign represents the space between. As Miu Miu explained in a press release,…

“Guided by the enduring principles of safety, security, and trust, the voluntary commitments address the risks presented by advanced AI models and promote the adoption of specific practices—such as red-team testing and the publication of transparency reports—that will propel the whole ecosystem forward,” Microsoft president Brad Smith said in a blog post.The potential societal risks the agreement pledges companies to watch for do not include the carbon footprint of training AI models, a concern that is now commonly cited in research on the impact of AI systems.

Two hours before a large earthquake, the ground seems to move—infinitesimally and without causing any shaking—a new study shows. This movement, known as an aseismic slip, may be a potential pathway toward predicting damaging quakes before they happen, the researchers say. Many seismologists have long argued that earthquakes are impossible to predict because Earth’s crust doesn’t give any detectable warning before it snaps. The new study, published on Thursday in Science, suggests that there are in fact warning signs. They’re just very, very subtle. “It’s solid evidence that there is something happening before large earthquakes,” says study co-author Quentin Bletery,…

Memories can be as tricky to hold onto for machines as they can be for humans. To help understand why artificial agents develop holes in their own cognitive processes, electrical engineers at The Ohio State University have analyzed how much a process called “continual learning” impacts their overall performance. Continual learning is when a computer is trained to continuously learn a sequence of tasks, using its accumulated knowledge from old tasks to better learn new tasks. Yet one major hurdle scientists still need to overcome to achieve such heights is learning how to circumvent the machine learning equivalent of memory…
If there’s anyone who manages to keep up with the many cycles of fashion, it’s Kim Kardashian. The reality TV star has been in the limelight for two decades now, achieving multi-hyphenate status, with her hand in almost every industry. Apart from dominating the media with her family’s infamous “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” show, which eventually gave way to Hulu’s “The Kardashians”, the 42-year-old has made quite the name for herself. She’s appeared on many a magazine cover, modeled across several brand campaigns, and enjoyed success with various business ventures, from SKKN By Kim to Skims. As the billionaire…
Left unchecked, the visual culture of entertainment is headed into a phase of post-authenticity, a period where artificial media will have an even more damaging impact on how culture is made, represented, and sold. Like the video of Minaj and Holland, these skewed and skewering visuals, as they grow in intensity through advertising campaigns and marketing efficiency, are a reminder that the present is the future: a constant, ferocious collapse of the real into the unreal, an ungovernable reality where the remixing of stereotypes is not only accepted but big business.To make a product viable in the marketplace, one must…

It’s now been 20 years since Luke (Chris Carmack) welcomed Ryan (Ben McKenzie) to a certain beachside county in profane fashion. “Welcome to the O.C., bitch!” Luke snarked, after he and his cronies trounced Ryan in a fistfight. That moment in the pilot episode of Fox’s The O.C. — airing on August 5, 2003 — set the tone as Ryan left behind a troubled childhood to move in with Sandy (Peter Gallagher) and Kirsten (Kelly Rowan) in the moneyed Newport Beach, California. As the teen settled in to the unfamiliar new environment, he met Sandy and Kirsten’s son, Seth (Adam…
Volunteering in late life is associated with better cognitive function — specifically, better executive function and episodic memory. Those are the findings of a new study from UC Davis Health presented today (July 20) at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference 2023 in Amsterdam. “We hope these new data encourage individuals of all ages and backgrounds to engage in local volunteering — not only to benefit their communities, but potentially their own cognitive and brain health,” said Donna McCullough, Alzheimer’s Association chief mission and field operations officer. Volunteer activities — such as supporting educational, religious, health-related or other charitable organizations –…

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably been shopping at Zara for a while now. Whereas you once checked the new-arrivals section of the brand’s app on a twice-weekly basis, you’ve now found yourself slowing down, only scanning it once a week and occasionally stopping inside a nearby store on your lunch break. (That’s what I call progress.) Though most collections remain chic, not to mention shockingly expensive looking, I’ve found that some err a bit too far on the youthful side for my taste. Whenever that happens, I turn my attention to Zara’s older and wiser big sister: Massimo Dutti.The brand was founded in 1985 in Barcelona as a…

Live Nation and its subsidiary Ticketmaster may face an antitrust lawsuit from the Department of Justice as early as this fall, Politico reports. According to three people familiar with the matter, the lawsuit would claim that Ticketmaster is abusing its power in the entertainment industry by squashing other ticketing competition. Based on past comments from antitrust head Jonathan Kanter, if the lawsuit is successful, Live Nation and Ticketmaster may be forced to separate lines of business. Kanter has made clear his preference to litigate antitrust violators rather than settle, and would also rather impart structural remedies — like breaking up the…

Sophomore seasons are notoriously difficult to navigate. And yet a Hulu comedy serving as dramedy with a stellar cast and strong writing continues to be a critically-acclaimed delight, certified fresh at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, returned arguably better than ever. It’s a series with a healthy dose of family dysfunction, two cousins who are genuinely trying to manage things like their mental health in an authentic way that feels true to form for men, and a working-class element that feels authentic, as the characters grapple with the day to day and their respective life choices. But no, this time, we’re…
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain It’s become easy to order items thanks to the miracles of online shopping. But it’s not so simple on the retailer end, especially when more than 16% of those sales are later sent back. In the U.S., that adds up to a staggering $816 billion in lost revenue. Cross-selling can help, say a pair of researchers. Their experiments show that once we’ve chosen to buy something, we tend to consider that money as already spent or gone, also called “loss booking.” If we decide we want to return the item, retailers can take advantage of that…
