The clever tech powering a wave of pig-butchering scams
Fox News' Danamarie McNicholl reports alongside the Secret Service as they detect and prevent the use of credit card skimmers, traced to a crime ring led in Eastern Europe. Pig-butchering scams are getting more sophisticated -- and more costly -- by the day. One report found criminals have swindled an estimated 75 billion from victims. And just recently, a criminal organization in Asia was taken down, adding another 46 million to that tally. I've talked to lots of pig-butchering victims.

After OnlyFans, AI 'girlfriends' are tech's next pitch to lonely men
At first glance, "Jenny" looks like a young, attractive Asian-American woman with a penchant for posting flirty photos and captions on her X account. Even if some of her features look a little enhanced – her skin is unnaturally smooth and her bust unusually large for her petite frame – it is easy to look past the slight uncanniness of her appearance in an era of widespread cosmetic procedures and photo editing tools. In fact, Jenny is not a real person, but an artificial intelligence-generated model, available for hire as an online influencer or virtual companion. Jenny is the brainchild of LushAI, a startup that bills itself as the world's first AI-powered modelling agency aiming to rival OnlyFans, the subscription-based website best known for hosting adult content creators. Jenny offers essentially the same services as the human content creators that make up OnlyFans, except she is powered by an algorithm – which means she can work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

10 great Barbie video games
The first official Barbie game was effectively a simulator for getting ready to go out, in which Ken invited Barbie on a series of dates – to the pool, a party, a tennis match – and the player then had to zoom off in a yellow convertible to buy the correct outfits. It was annoying that Ken got to pick all the activities, but the detailed graphics and use of digitised speech were impressive at the time. I wanted to include at least one ridiculously obscure entry and here it is. Lost Word of Jenny is a surreal Japan-only platformer based around toy manufacturer Takara's localised version of Barbie – although she had to change her name to Jenny when the company lost the official licence (and Ken's name became Jeff). In the game, Jenny has to find her way back into a theatre musical by locating sections of a door code in weird locations, including a pirate ship, a giant cake and outer space.

Swipe less, don't be a sleaze, do say hello … and 10 more tips to raise your dating game
So much about being single is great: being able to eat, watch and do what you want; independence; no in-laws. But routine can easily turn into a rut, which makes life difficult if you want to find a relationship. We asked the experts how you might go about shaking things up. It is easy to mistake a presence on dating apps with putting yourself out there. Unless you make an effort to meet people, apps can soon become a time-suck. Annie Lord, a dating columnist for Vogue whose memoir Notes on Heartbreak will be published in June, recommends using them at a particular time, "rather than spending every evening just scrolling", and making a plan to meet any promising matches as soon as possible.
How was my pitch, Jenny? Zoom's venture fund invests in conversational AI platform
Second Nature's sale coaching platform analyzes a simulated client conversation and identifies strengths and weaknesses of a salesperson's pitch. This is the dashboard a trainee sees after completing a simulation. Another assistant just got a significant chunk of money to make her name just as familiar. Jenny is a virtual assistant who specializes in training salespeople. Second Nature, the company that created this conversational robot, announced a $12.5 million round of investment Wednesday, Jan. 11 to build out the conversational artificial intelligence service.
Reimagine Your Enterprise with AI and Intelligent Automation
As your business considers where and how to invest for growth, it's crucial that you try to imagine how business will be conducted in the future. Rather than trying to incrementally improve what you already have today, get ahead of what will happen two years from now. What if instead of dozens of applications running through unrelated interfaces, every business task spanning IT, HR, Finance, and Administration could be conducted through one platform on a single interface? What if instead of contacting the IT department, the HR team, or the finance lead for minor issues, you could connect this overarching platform to an Intelligent Virtual Agent (IVA) designed to automate, inform and accelerate tasks? You would have entirely reinvented the way you do business.
Canonical Correlation Inference for Mapping Abstract Scenes to Text
Papasarantopoulos, Nikos (University of Edinburgh) | Jiang, Helen (Stanford University) | Cohen, Shay B. (University of Edinburgh)
We describe a technique for structured prediction, based on canonical correlation analysis. Our learning algorithm finds two projections for the input and the output spaces that aim at projecting a given input and its correct output into points close to each other. We demonstrate our technique on a language-vision problem, namely the problem of giving a textual description to an "abstract scene".
Charged Up! podcast: Surviving the robot revolution
Listen in to this special episode of Charged Up!, taken from a live Facebook broadcast with Jason Schenker, who Bloomberg ranks as the world's foremost financial futurist. In this episode, we talk about Schenker's predictions, laid out in his 2017 book "Jobs for Robots: Between Robocalypse and Robotopia," and how the robot revolution will affect our jobs, our pay and our career prospects. Schenker talks about three industry sectors that are safest from being taken over by technology, what students should study if they're entering school now and what kind of skills will protect you from losing out to robots. So, get Charged Up! about learning how to survive the robot revolution! Jason Schenker: Thank you very much, Jenny. It's a real pleasure to be here. Hoff: So, we're going to talk today about your book, "Jobs for Robots" and this is a live broadcast on Facebook so we're also going to be taking questions from our listeners which I will then later translate for the podcast so we make sure that everybody can hear the questions. But first I want to talk a little bit about how did you get into being a futurist and then where did the interest in robots come from? Schenker: Sure, the most important thing is as a futurist there's three components to it: You're part historian because you need the historical perspective of where we've been.

Mark Zuckerberg out-robots his AI robot in saccharine holiday video
It's been a horrible year for Facebook and the world, but that hasn't stopped Mark Zuckerberg from sending a saccharine digital Christmas (sorry, non-denominational holiday season) card, in the form of a two-minute video, showcasing his perfect life. Soundtracked by plinky-plonky music, Zuck presents a simple AI called "Jarvis" (named after Iron Man's butler) that he's spent about 100 hours this year programming. Jarvis, who is voiced in the video by Morgan Freeman, is the virtual assistant the Facebook CEO set out to build as a personal challenge that would help him understand the state of artificial intelligence. As we sweep through Zuckerberg's enormous, minimalist home, we witness Jarvis provide calendar briefings, entertain Zuck's daughter Max in Mandarin, identify and let people into his home, control the lights and play music. There are smiles and tickles and popcorn interspersed with on-brand messaging about Messenger bots, internet drones and conference calls.
