Will Smith's Tour Video Used AI to Generate Adoring Audience Members and the Result Is... Bleak

Over the past few years, actor, rapper, and slapper Will Smith has been the subject of a grotesque meme in AI is used to show him gobbling down on nightmarish squelching spaghetti. It now seems that the 56-year-old "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" star's team has used the tech to soup up concert footage from his would-be comeback tour — and it strongly appears that the purpose was to make an underwhelming crowd look like they're still filled with love for Smith's much-lampooned career trajectory.

IDC nearly doubles worldwide smartphone forecast for 2025, cites ‘accelerated iOS growth’

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-10-24 20:10:54

To say 2025 has been an unpredictable year for the smartphone market would be an understatement. Early in February, IDC had forecast a 2.6% growth, followed by a decrease to just 0.6% in May. Now, the institute has once again adjusted its forecast, thanks in part to “accelerated” iOS growth. Here are the details.

Is Taylor Swift’s Engagement Ring an Ethical Lab-Grown Diamond, or a Horrible Blood-Soaked Conflict Diamond?

After two years of dating, the celebrity couple announced this week that they're engaged to be married in an Instagram post that featured, as seen below, a beautiful photoshoot in a rambling English garden, complete with the caption "your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married."

Anthropic’s auto-clicking AI Chrome extension raises browser-hijacking concerns

As AI assistants become capable of controlling web browsers, a new security challenge has emerged: users must now trust that every website they visit won't try to hijack their AI agent with hidden malicious instructions.

We view browser-using AI as inevitable: so much work happens in browsers that giving Claude the ability to see what you're looking at, click buttons, and fill forms will make it substantially more useful.

Commenters are calling out Will Smith for using AI in a concert video. The video, posted to YouTube on Aug. 12, features the actor and rapper performing on stage with a montage of his audiences. The crowd looks real in some shots, but in others it appears to be AI generated, given the prevalence of blurry faces, extra fingers and akimbo limbs.

450× Faster Joins with Index Condition Pushdown

Introduction Readyset is designed to serve queries from cached views with sub-millisecond latency. This post focuses on the cold path—cases where a cache miss forces execution against the base tables. In these scenarios, Readyset must evaluate the query from scratch, including materializing intermediate results. The focus here is on straddled joins, where filtering predicates apply to both sides of the join in addition to the ON clause. Example: SELECT u.id, u.name, o.order_id, o.total FROM u

Writing Speed-of-Light Flash Attention for 5090 in CUDA C++

The main objective is to learn writing attention in CUDA C++, since many features are not available in Triton, such as MXFP8 / NVFP4 MMA for sm120. I also feel this is a natural next step after learning about matmul kernels. Lastly, there are many excellent blogposts on writing fast matmul kernels, but there is none for attention.

That issue raises concerns regarding security issues, code maintainability, and the complexity of aging browser code currently used for rendering XML with XSLT stylesheets. I highly recommend reading through that issue first as it includes a good background of XSLT on the web as well as the specific concerns that may lead to deprecating XSLT as the most prudent option for browser vendors.

Questions about Chrome's fate have been swirling since the news that the Department of Justice would push for Google to sell the browser after the ruling that the company's search engine business constituted a monopoly. Although Google is planning to appeal the decision, that hasn't stopped other big tech businesses from pitching themselves as potential owners of Chrome. Ecosia's p

Raising multiple rounds of venture capital might be wrong for your startup

There’s a generally accepted script in Silicon Valley: Identify a startup idea. Sell a chunk of your company to raise venture capital. Make sales. Raise more venture capital, and make more sales. Repeat until the company goes public, or gets acquired, hopefully for billions either way. But what if you didn’t get on a fundraising treadmill after taking a first round?

‘Alien: Earth’ Finished Its First Major Arc With Action and Intrigue

The second episode of Alien: Earth ended on not just a cliffhanger; it was a cliff-jumper. A xenomorph grabbed Joe (Alex Lawther) and jumped off a ledge, sending his sister Wendy (Sydney Chandler) on a quest to rescue him. That’s where episode three picked up, and the showdown resulted in not just a fun, gross action set piece but also some tantalizing teases of where things will go the rest of the season.
