A dozen allies of former US President Donald Trump, including Rudy Giuliani, are expected in an Arizona court on Tuesday to hear charges against them tied to the 2020 election.

This year’s crop of new college graduates may be nervous about finding a job that will sustain them financially, or one that will have a positive impact on the environment or a bent towards social justice.

As we begin to see images of the crowds turning out to pay their respects to President Ebrahim Raisi, it’s worth remembering that he was indeed loved by hardliners of the Islamic Republic of Iran. However, he was equally hated by many Iranians for his role in the mass execution of political prisoners in the 1980s, and his more than four-decade involvement in the security and judicial systems which suppress opponents of the Islamic regime. In the 1980s, Raisi was appointed to be a member of a committee that dealt with political prisoners. More than 5,000 political prisoners were executed…

Sky is now being paused after OpenAI used it when demoing its new GPT-4o model last week. “We believe that AI voices should not deliberately mimic a celebrity’s distinctive voice—Sky’s voice is not an imitation of Scarlett Johansson but belongs to a different professional actress using her own natural speaking…
