Bryson DeChambeau may have finished third in LIV Golf's latest event in South Korea, but that doesn't mean he's pleased with his game. DeChambeau, who won back-to-back LIV events in March, found himself one shot back of the lead after the opening two rounds in South Korea, but put together a disappointing third round at 1-over par. As is often the case for DeChambeau after what he deems to be a lackluster performance, it turned into a long night on the driving range searching for something.
This model is not a real person: how AI is shaking up fashion – video
From digital twins to models'sculpted' by programmers, generative AI has been popping up all over the fashion industry. When an Australian e-commerce retailer started using AI-generated models to sell products, lifestyle editor Alyx Gorman had to see if the garments were more than mere pixels. The Iconic, which sells the dress worn in this video, said in a statement: 'Where AI-generated imagery is used to advertise products for sale on our platform, our expectation is that it is clearly labelled and that the product itself is represented as accurately as possible for customers.' Meanwhile, Atoir, the designer, said: 'The Australian fashion industry is highly competitive, particularly for independent brands. We believe that when used responsibly, tools like this can help smaller businesses to operate with greater agility while still maintaining the creative standards and product integrity that matter to both the brand and the customer.'

How Putin became master of the image
Throughout his time as Russian President, Vladimir Putin has been alert to the power of visual imagery. The first time I interviewed him in 2001, an aide swooped in just before the cameras went live and snatched away the small water glasses on the table in front of us. Why did you do that? We wouldn't want anyone to think they were for vodka, came the reply. And anyway, we can't risk a glass spilling live on TV.

An industry targeting Australia's ageing population is growing, but can AI deliver more humanity in aged care? While companion robots are being introduced and virtual experiences hope to'take loneliness away', one expert agrees tech should never replace the human element "You'll never get rid of humans," Prof Wendy Moyle says, during a discussion about robots and other technology in aged care and residential homes. Then, a beat later, she adds: "Well, I don't we'll get rid of humans."
A private equity company has acquired Balatro publisher, Playstack
A majority stake of the indie game publisher Playstack is being sold to an investment company called Integrated Media Company (IMG). As first reported by Game Developer, the owner of the publisher behind hits like Balatro and is selling an 84.5 percent stake to a subsidiary of IMG called VantageCo Limited for £112.4 million, or around $151 million. Playstack also released a brief and vague statement from its founder and CEO, Harvey Elliott, that said this step represented a change in ownership, rather than a change in who we are. IMG's portfolio didn't previously include video game publishers but the company also owns the Fandom umbrella of brands, which includes Fandom, GameSpot, metacritic and more. It's hard to say what this acquisition means for the deck-building roguelite that won the hearts of the Engadget squad after its release in 2024.
