    Meta reportedly takes more talent from OpenAI.

    Researchers Jason Wei and Hyung Won Chung are said to be joining Meta’s superintelligence lab, the latest of several high-profile OpenAI researchers and developers to be plucked by the social media giant. That would make this the second big move in as many years for Wei and Won Chung, who left Google’s Brain research group to join OpenAI in 2023.

    Disney finally brought Walt back to life without cryogenics.

    The new “Walt Disney – A Magical Life” attraction debuting at Disneyland on Thursday, July 17th, marks the first time that the parks have portrayed the man himself as an audio-animatronic figure. The movements are fairly impressive, but the facial likeness requires a little imagination.

    Tech services are failing to take nudify AI tools offline.

    A report about how much money these websites are making found that 62 of the 85 websites it examined had hosting or content delivery services provided by Amazon and Cloudflare. Google’s sign-on system was also used on 54 of the websites, alongside several other services and payment systems provided by mainstream tech companies.

    “They should have ceased providing any and all services to AI nudifiers when it was clear that their only use case was sexual harassment,” said Indicator co-founder Alexios Mantzarlis.
