Deepfakes Are Coming for Your Bank Account
OpenAI made the perfect tool for scammers. Donald Trump is on TikTok doing his morning routine. "Get ready with me for a big day," reads the caption, as the president holds a makeup brush to his cheek. The scene is a still, ostensibly a screenshot of a TikTok clip. Like so much other AI-generated slop coursing through the internet, the image is fake and ridiculous.
I don't see images in my head. Can training give me a mind's eye?
I don't see images in my head. Can training give me a mind's eye? Training programmes for people with aphantasia - the inability to create mental images - are challenging neuroscientists' understanding of how we create thoughts What do you see when you try to picture an apple? Last December, I closed my eyes and tried to visualise a potoo. This tropical bird has a "round, kind of pill-shaped head", my mental imagery coach described to me, and is covered with brown feathers. Its cartoonishly large mouth opens like a gaping smile to reveal a pink, fleshy colour, and its large irises can make its eyes seem entirely black.

What Iranians are being told about the war
The first reports appeared on foreign screens, beyond the reach of most Iranians. On 28 February Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there were signs that the tyrant is no more, suggesting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had been killed in a joint US-Israeli strike. Iranians watching state television, however, encountered silence. Government officials would neither confirm nor deny Khamenei's death. On one of the state broadcaster's channels, IRTV3, one news presenter urged viewers to trust him and the latest information the government had.

SSL4EO-L: Datasets and Foundation Models for Landsat Imagery Adam J. Stewart
The Landsat program is the longest-running Earth observation program in history, with 50+ years of data acquisition by 8 satellites. The multispectral imagery captured by sensors onboard these satellites is critical for a wide range of scientific fields. Despite the increasing popularity of deep learning and remote sensing, the majority of researchers still use decision trees and random forests for Landsat image analysis due to the prevalence of small labeled datasets and lack of foundation models. In this paper, we introduce SSL4EO-L, the first ever dataset designed for Self-Supervised Learning for Earth O bservation for the Landsat family of satellites (including 3 sensors and 2 product levels) and the largest Landsat dataset in history (5M image patches). Additionally, we modernize and re-release the L7 Irish and L8 Biome cloud detection datasets, and introduce the first ML benchmark datasets for Landsats 4-5 TM and Landsat 7 ETM+ SR. Finally, we pre-train the first foundation models for Landsat imagery using SSL4EO-L and evaluate their performance on multiple semantic segmentation tasks.
