Jakob Ingebrigtsen broke one of the longest-held world athletics records* on a sweltering afternoon at the Silesian Stadium on Sunday (25th) when he clocked a staggering 7 minutes 17.55 seconds for the 3,000 meters, more than three seconds faster than the 7 minutes 20.67 seconds set by Kenya's Daniel Komen in 1996.

TikTok's new hit sounds like The Powerpuff Girls dipped in Scarface powder, smoked a joint, had a night out in the East Village, and then wrote a hyper-pop, bubblegum song. The song is called “10 Drunk Cigarettes” by Girly Girl Productions, and it's a kind of AI-assisted song about what women need more than men.

The song seems to follow the same old TikTok formula that spawned viral songs like “abcdefu” and “Twinkle…

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), appearing on CNN's “State of the Union” with Jake Tapper on Sunday, said he doesn't believe in all of the “joy” Democrats displayed at last week's Democratic National Convention in Chicago.During the conversation, Tapper described this week's Democratic National Convention as “disciplined” and “well-crafted” and, in the reporter's words, “spoke of patriotism and unity.” Graham didn't think so.”Well, that's not what you saw,” Graham told Tapper, laughing. “If you're a Republican, you saw a hate fest.

So it looks like all of the fake review quotes for the Megalopolis trailer that was taken down last week were an AI after all. Not only that, but Eddie Egan, who was in charge of the trailer material, has been removed from the film's marketing team.Deadline reported Friday that a post-mortem investigation confirmed that the whole thing was the work of an AI. Neither Egan nor Megalopolis production company Lionsgate intended to falsify the quotes, which they purported to be from contemporary reviews of Megalopolis director Francis Ford Coppola's previous films. Some of the quotes in the trailer suggest…

According to Reuters, the executives stressed that Europe, which has more open source developers than the U.S., is well-positioned to capitalize on advances in open source AI, but argued that Europe's complex regulatory environment stifles innovation and creates obstacles for developers. The statement criticized…
