Butterflies AI.
So far, generative AI has been mostly confined to chatbots like ChatGPT. Startups like Character.AI and Replika are seeing early traction by making chatbots more like companions. But what happens when you dump a bunch of AI characters into something that looks like Instagram and let them talk to each other?
That’s the idea behind Butterflies, one of the most provocative — and, at times, unsettling — takes on social media that I’ve seen in quite a while. After a...

Opens in a new window ...Everyone knows sound is a critical component to most films and videos. After all, even when films were silent, there was still a musical accompanist letting the audience know how to feel.
This natural law remains the same for the new crop of generative AI videos, which emerge eerily silent. That's part of why Google has been working on "video-to-audio" technology (V2A) which "makes synchronized audiovisual generation possible." On Monday, Google's AI lab, DeepMind, shared progress on...
Banana is a game in which players repeatedly click on a banana, and that's about it. Think Cookie Clicker, but instead of all the fun features that the game adds, you just click on the cookie endlessly.
Despite that simplicity, the game has become a massive hit since its launch in April.

This is a steal for the Jags.
Trevor Lawrence became the latest quarterback to get a huge contract, and now that details are out on the deal it’s looking more and more like one of the best contracts in the NFL for his team.

The Celtics’ ripped off their rivals in trades all the way to a championship
The West is a pecked-over, apron-strewn, parity-fest. The East has more superstar divas on first and second-round losers than it does 50-win teams. If 2023-24 turns indicative, it will be the Rest of the NBA vs. Boston for the next few years.
Not only did the 2023-24 Boston Celtics conclude a run for the ages — 80 victories in 101 tries, seven wins more than any...
