Fenix Flexin via YouTube The LA-based rapper Fenix Flexin is denying that his hit new single was AI-generated after extensive allegations. The song, “Rubberz,” climbed to number 58 on the Billboard Hot 100 after dropping in June. Many of his peers gassed up the track, but listeners immediately noticed something off. A lot of things, actually. For one, many pointed out that the vocals didn’t sound like Fenix at all, both in terms of the quality of his voice

Facebook / Futurism We bring you this dispatch from the AI slop dungeon known as Facebook: fake, AI-generated podcast bros are currently racking up views on Mark Zuckerberg’s first social network by doling out “relationship advice,” mostly in the form of banal screeds about how men are failing women. The videos are designed to resemble the short video pullouts popularized by the practice known as “clipping.” But rather than snip short videos from real podc

When far-right white nationalist Jake Lang rolled up to a peaceful religious procession in Dearborn, Michigan earlier this month with a sign calling to “deport 100 million” Muslims, he clearly didn’t plan on making any friends. Predictably, the repeat-agitator of Michigan’s Arab-American community — who served four years in prison for his role in the January 6 insurrection — got into a scuffle with a small but angry crowd, resulting in three arrests.

The testing must have gone well because Google is now allowing more chatbot makers to sign up for AdSense. “AdSense for Search is available for websites that want to show relevant ads in their conversational AI experiences,” said a Google spokesperson. If people continue shifting to using AI chatbots to find information, this expansion of AdSense could help prop up profits. There’s no hint of advertising in Google’s own Gemini chatbot or AI Mode search, bu

The idea sounds plausible because AI systems process text incrementally: longer prompts require slightly more computation and therefore use more energy. OpenAI's chief executive, Sam Altman, has acknowledged it all adds to operating costs at the scale of billions
