Calorie labels on menus are pointless unless you're actively trying to lose weight, a study has found. Researchers have discovered that being told your beef pie is 1,362 calories or your cheeseburger is 2,133 calories makes no difference to what you order unless you're watching what you eat. It casts further doubt on the effectiveness of the government's policy, introduced in 2022, that ordered the use of calorie labels by all food outlets with more than 250 employees.

'Hidden' volcanoes pose the greatest risk to the world, scientists warn - after little-known mount erupts in Ethiopia READ MORE: Scientists discover a new hole in one of Yellowstone's basins A little-known Ethiopian volcano has erupted for the first time in at least 12,000 years - sparking fears that'hidden' volcanoes are being missed. Professor Mike Cassidy, a volcanologist at the University of Birmingham, says the world's overlooked volcanoes'pose the greatest threat'. Known as'hidden' volcanoes, they're less famous than Yellowstone or Etna even among scientists - which means they're not being monitored as much. Examples include El Chichón in Mexico, Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, Mount Merapi in Indonesia and La Soufrière on the Caribbean island of Saint Vincent.

Warner Music signs deal with AI song generator Suno after settling lawsuit

The Guardian

Warner acts such as Coldplay can choose to opt in to their music being used by Suno to create AI music. Warner acts such as Coldplay can choose to opt in to their music being used by Suno to create AI music. Warner, the world's third-largest music company and home to acts including Coldplay, Charli XCX and Ed Sheeran, is the first of the major record labels to partner officially with the company. As part of their agreement, users will be allowed to create AI-generated songs on Suno via simple text prompts using the voices, names and likenesses of the Warner acts who choose to opt in to the service. Robert Kyncl, the chief executive of Warner Music Group, said the deal showed that artificial intelligence could be "pro-artist" when it is licensed to "reflect the value of music".


The AI Hype Index: The people can't get enough of AI slop

MIT Technology Review

The AI Hype Index: The people can't get enough of AI slop That's why we've created the AI Hype Index--a simple, at-a-glance summary of everything you need to know about the state of the industry. Last year, the fantasy author Joanna Maciejewska went viral (if such a thing is still possible on X) with a post saying "I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes." Clearly, it struck a chord with the disaffected masses. Regrettably, 18 months after Maciejewska's post, the entertainment industry insists that machines should make art and artists should do laundry. The streaming platform Disney+ has plans to let its users generate their own content from its intellectual property instead of, y'know, paying humans to make some new Star Wars or Marvel movies. Elsewhere, it seems AI-generated music is resonating with a depressingly large audience, given that the AI band Breaking Rust has topped's Country Digital Song Sales chart.


SoftBank's 40% slide from peak shows worry over giant OpenAI bet

The Japan Times

SoftBank shares have plunged around 40% since late October as it sits at the forefront of a global AI selloff. Growing unease over frothy artificial intelligence valuations is weighing on shares of SoftBank Group, which traders increasingly view as a proxy for privately held OpenAI. The Japanese tech investor sits at the forefront of a global AI selloff amid worries about new pressure on OpenAI following Alphabet's Gemini 3.0 debut. SoftBank shares have plunged around 40% since late October, erasing over ¥16 trillion ($102 billion) in market value, as its founder Masayoshi Son prepares to double down on OpenAI and the infrastructure that supports it. SoftBank has ridden the global AI investment boom faster than any other Japanese company.
