That move may have warded off the lawyers, but it didn't slide past Olympic viewers. Disgusted reactions ensued immediately after Mrázková and Mrázek took the ice and NBC's announcers pointed out that, while half of their choreography was set to AC/DC's "Thunderstruck," the other half had been soundtracked by A.I. The ISU's own documentation identifies the track as something called "One Two," created by an A.I. prompted to come up with something resembling "90s style Bon Jovi."

Users Meta's A.I. Smart Glasses Are Wreaking Havoc in Schools Across the Country. It's Only Going to Get Worse. As the discreet wearable cameras become more popular, students are saying they feel constantly watched and harassed--and professors are reshaping their classrooms in response. Joziah was tabling on campus for his peer mentor job at the end of last semester at Florida State University when he noticed something strange happening across the quad: A trio of men, wearing Meta AI glasses, were stopping every young woman who passed by and asking them for their social media contacts. "I recognized them from TikTok, because they're kind of big, especially in Miami," the 19-year-old told me.

Fans of will be happy to hear that there's been another entry into the world of scintillating gay romance. The film stars noted on-screen sex haver Alexander Skarsgård--he's equally provocative in the NC-17-rated --and some guy named Harry Melling, who seems to have been in . Melling plays Colin, a certified beta whose deepest desire is to serve. He gets his wish when he meets Ray (Skarsgård), a toppy, Tom of Finland -esque biker with an attitude so icy it could preserve food. The two enter into a full-time power-exchange relationship that fuels both of their desires, until their connection evolves to a heart-wrenching breaking point. Unlike other recent films about kink that were bound and gagged by their own corniness--think and -- has been lauded as realistic, sophisticated, and smart, and the movie is currently sitting at 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes . Still, was it enough to satisfy senior editor Isabelle Kohn and How to Do It columnist Rich Juzwiak? Be a good boy and find out.

A.I.-related psychosis has cost people their marriages, life savings, and grip on reality. Last August, Adam Thomas found himself wandering the dunes of Christmas Valley, Oregon, after a chatbot kept suggesting he mystically "follow the pattern" of his own consciousness. Thomas was running on very little sleep--he'd been talking to his chatbot around the clock for months by that point, asking it to help improve his life. Instead it sent him on empty assignments, like meandering the vacuous desert sprawl. He'd lost his job as a funeral director and was living out of a van, draining his savings, and now he found himself stranded in the desert. When he woke up outside on a stranger's futon with no money to his name, he knew he'd hit rock bottom. "I wasn't aware of the dangers at the time, and I thought that the A.I. had statistical analysis abilities that would allow it to assist me if I opened up about my life," Thomas told me.

Users Civilians Are Using A.I. to Unmask ICE Agents. Websites like ICEList are attempting to hold federal agents accountable--but it's unclear whether they make the system safer or more dangerous. After federal immigration officers shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, social media users called for the unmasking of the agents responsible. On X, users shared photos of the agents involved. It didn't take long before A.I.-generated pictures made their appearance: One user posted a seemingly deepfaked picture of a masked ICE agent, writing, "This is one of the soulless lowlife ghouls who executed Alex Pretti in cold blood!

Work A.I. Was Supposed to "Revolutionize" Work. Although we've been told that A.I. is poised to "revolutionize" work, at the moment it seems to be doing something else entirely: spreading chaos. All throughout American offices, A.I. platforms like ChatGPT are delivering answers that sound right even when they aren't, transcription tools that turn meetings into works of fiction, and documents that look polished on the surface but are riddled with factual errors and missing nuance. If you've read anything about A.I., you know that it sometimes "hallucinates" facts that simply aren't true, yet asserts them with so much confidence that its lies don't get caught. Clearly, there's more work to do on this emerging technology, but in the meantime, it's ravaging some workplaces.

Like a true Midwesterner, my dad has been feuding with the squirrels in his backyard for years. Every few months, he comes home with a new "squirrel-proof" bird feeder, each more expensive than the previous, each one promising to finally do the trick. My mom rolls her eyes at the pile of hardware-store receipts and discarded feeders. I shake my head watching this all play out--knowing full well those feeders never stood a chance. Walk down the birdseed aisle in any hardware store and you'll find an entire product category promising "squirrel-proof" solutions.

Users Like It or Not, A.I. Is Part of Health Care Now There's a key thing to keep in mind if you ask a chatbot for medical advice. Asking a general-use chatbot for health help used to seem like a shot in the dark--just two years ago, a study found that ChatGPT could diagnose only 2 in 10 pediatric cases correctly. Among Google Gemini's early recommendations were eating one small rock a day and using glue to help cheese stick to pizza . Last year, a nutritionist ended up hospitalized after taking ChatGPT's advice to replace salt in his diet with sodium bromide. Now A.I. companies have begun releasing health-specific chatbots for both consumers and health care professionals.
