It's so easy to do bad things with Canva's Magic Layers
PCWorld reports that Canva's new Magic Layers AI feature converts images into editable templates, allowing users to modify text, remove objects, and edit individual elements within photos. The tool poses significant disinformation risks by enabling easy manipulation of news content while preserving credible visual elements like logos and matching original fonts seamlessly. Magic Layers requires a Canva Pro subscription and can make AI-generated fake content appear more polished than originals, complicating detection efforts. I know that there is indeed something good and useful about Canva's Magic Layers tool, which uses AI to transform an image into an editable template. But all I can think of it is how people can and will use it for nefarious purposes. Canva's Magic Layers tool was launched last week .

Drone attack from Sudan kills 17 people in Chad as war spills over border
A drone attack launched from Sudan has killed 17 people in Chad, according to the Chadian government, which has pledged to retaliate against any further strikes as the civil war in the neighbouring nation rages on. A spokesman for the Chadian government announced the death toll on Thursday from the attack on the border town of Tine, which had been targeted despite "various firm warnings addressed to the different belligerents in the Sudan conflict and the closure of the border". Local government sources said it was not immediately clear who was behind the attack, according to Reuters. Chadian President Mahamat Idriss Deby called a meeting of the defence and security council on Wednesday night, ordering the army to "retaliate starting from tonight to any attack coming from Sudan", according to a presidency statement. Early on Thursday, the government said Chad had strengthened its security presence at the border and could potentially carry out operations on Sudanese territory.

Inventor Beulah Louise Henry's unstoppable rise to becoming 'Lady Edison'
With 49 patents and over 100 inventions, Henry built an empire catering to women and children. Beulah Louise Henry invented everything from ice cream makers to radio dolls--despite a world that didn't take her seriously. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Beulah Louise Henry was just nine years old when she came up with her first invention in 1896, a device that allowed a man to tip his hat without ever putting down his newspaper. By her death in 1973, at the age of 85, she'd come up with so many more--a doll with eyes that changed color with the press of a button, a sewing machine without a bobbin (a threaded spool that slowed down work because it had to be frequently refilled), a clock designed to help kids learn to tell time, and others--that the press even dubbed Henry "Lady Edison."

Afroman wins legal battle over songs mocking US police
US rapper Afroman has defeated seven sheriff's deputies in a court case after they sued him for releasing songs and videos that mocked them and a raid they carried out on his home. The officers broke down the musician's door in 2022 as part of a drug and kidnapping investigation, but the raid didn't lead to any charges. Afroman, best known for his 2000 hit Because I Got High, responded by using home security footage in viral videos that ridiculed the deputies. His video for the song Lemon Pound Cake was inspired by a deputy apparently eyeing a cake in his kitchen, while another video attributed personal and sexual transgressions to the officers. They sued him for defamation, but a jury has sided with the colourful rapper after a three-day trial. Afroman yelled outside the Ohio court, surrounded by supporters, in a clip posted on social media after the verdict.

The Download: Quantum computing for health, and why the world doesn't recycle more nuclear waste
The Download: Quantum computing for health, and why the world doesn't recycle more nuclear waste Plus: The FBI has admitted it's buying Americans' location data. In a laboratory on the outskirts of Oxford, a quantum computer built from atoms and light awaits its moment. The device is small but powerful--and also very valuable. Infleqtion, the company that owns it, is hoping its abilities will win $5 million at a competition next week. The prize will go to the quantum computer that can solve real health care problems that conventional "classical" computers are unable to solve. But there can be only one big winner--if there is a winner at all.

The Men Obsessed With 'High T'
Fueled by the manosphere, men are boosting their testosterone levels through natural and synthetic means, with some competitively swapping test results on a regular basis. Mark Holman was skinny and depressed when he was working a 9-to-5 job as an air quality engineering consultant in 2018. "I felt weak, like a boy," says the 33-year-old New Orleans native. Determined to turn things around, he spent the next few years becoming a health coach and getting chiseled abs. But in 2021, after becoming perplexed as to why he was disinterested in sex with his partner at the time, he decided to test his testosterone levels.

Can quantum computers now solve health care problems? We'll soon find out.
I'm standing in front of a quantum computer built out of atoms and light at the UK's National Quantum Computing Centre on the outskirts of Oxford. On a laboratory table, a complex matrix of mirrors and lenses surrounds a Rubik's Cube-size cell where 100 cesium atoms are suspended in grid formation by a carefully manipulated laser beam. The cesium atom setup is so compact that I could pick it up, carry it out of the lab, and put it on the backseat of my car to take home. I'd be unlikely to get very far, though.
