Will Smith Posts Bizarre New AI-Generated Concert Video

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-09 00:42:59

Last week, "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" star Will Smith — himself the victim of a gross AI meme about slurping spaghetti — showed the world that he's not so fresh anymore when his team used AI to add rapturous fans to concert footage of his "Based on a True Story" comeback tour. Online observers quickly noticed that the AI had gone haywire, adding demonic-looking fans with garbled signs praising the 56-year-old rapper-actor that stood in clear contrast to the wilted-looking crowd visible in actual

Lost RCS support in Google Messages since last month? You’re not alone

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-09 00:13:48

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR RCS in Google Messages has been down in several regions since early August. Reports from Reddit and Google forums mention outages in Kenya, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and other countries. Google says carriers must act to restore RCS, fueling speculation it pulled back its Jibe support. Rich Communication Services (RCS) is supposed to be the future of texting on Android, and even Apple has agreed to support the modern replacement for SMS. However, while RCS

How to unlock the Pixel 10 Pro’s hidden 12-bit video capabilities

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-09 02:27:29

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL can shoot in 12-bit 4K video with dedicated third-party apps. The high bit depth is possible thanks to Samsung’s Smart-ISO Pro technology within the image sensor. The Pixel 10 and Pixel Camera app are still capped at 10-bit video capture. The new Google Pixel 10 series already sports some impressive new photo and video capabilities, but it appears that the Pro models are capable of even more than Google advertises.

Tesla's latest 'Master Plan' isn't a mission statement, it's a discursive mess

Tesla has released part four of its so-called "Master Plan" in a post on X. Unlike the more focused " Secret Tesla Motors Master Plan ," which outlined concrete plans for future products, this "Master Plan Part IV" reads more like a rambling utopic fever dream that was partly written by Grok, while touching on Tesla's AI-powered products. Tesla says it intends to "deliver unconstrained sustainability without compromise," and that the company is "unifying our hardware and software at scale" in o

Amazon will sell you the Samsung S25 Edge for $400 off right now - it's lowest price ever

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung took the hard road when it launched the ultra-thin and lightweight Galaxy S25 Edge back in May. The phone had a mere 3,900mAh battery (not enough to be considered "diabolical," as the teens would say, but barely able to last a full day), lacked a dedicated telephoto lens, and demanded a $1,100 price tag. Unless wrist strain was your biggest issue with using smartphones, the S25 Edge just felt out of place. Also: The best Android phones of 2025: Expert tested and reviewe
