Latin megastar Bad Bunny performed a medley of his top hits at the Super Bowl on Sunday in a star-studded show that was criticised as terrible by the US president. The Puerto Rican singer, also known as Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, was joined on stage by a host of fellow music stars including Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin and Cardi B. Sitting in the stands, Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton made their first major public appearance together, after weeks of speculation about their romance. The seven-time Formula 1 world champion and the reality TV star were spotted chatting and smiling together during the game, and were caught on video by NBC News. Fellow musical superstars Lady Gaga, Cardi B and Jessica Alba joined the dancers on stage alongside Bad Bunny, who was the world's most-played artist in 2025 on Spotify, according to the streaming service. Chilean-American actor Pedro Pascal and Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin also joined the performance, which was populated by a largely pan-American crowd of celebrities.

The Legend of Zelda, one of the most successful and beloved gaming franchises of all time, is being made into a live-action film – and with such iconic characters as Link, Princess Zelda, the demonic Ganon and that one superhot half-fish prince everyone was in love earlier in the year, it's no wonder that the internet has absolutely exploded with people suggesting which actors should play them. So, we here at the Guardian thought we would put together our own dream cast for the upcoming flick. Tom Holland trends as fans discuss the casting of Link in upcoming live-action'Legend of Zelda' movie. However, given the wild success of the two most recent iterations of the series, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, it seems likely that that film will borrow heavily from their roster of characters. Although there are actually four great fairies in BotW and TotK, an amalgamation of these powerful and delightfully camp guardians would make a great cameo when our hero, Link, is in need of healing and magical help.

It's the fast-growing technology that continues to fool millions of social media users around the world - but how adept are YOU at spotting a fake AI photo? From the Pope posing in a puffer coat to Donald Trump being arrested on the streets of New York, images created by artificial intelligence are becoming increasingly convincing. While some of the snaps are clearly fake and designed to amuse or make a political statement, there are experts who fear the technology's potential as a weapon of mass disinformation. It comes as a German artist who won the Sony World Photography Award this week refused to accept his prize after revealing his black and white portrait of two women was in fact created by AI. Boris Eldagsen tricked competition organisers with his entry, Pseudomnesia: The Electrician - a haunting close-up of two women in a grainy sepia which won the creative open category.

Most of us love to have a bit of a boogie, and some - but not all - can also keep to the beat! It turns out we're not alone in that, as a new study has found that rats can nod their heads in time to music. Researchers from the University of Tokyo played the rodents clips of Lady Gaga, Queen and Michael Jackson as well as a Mozart Sonata at four different tempos. Any bopping was recorded both on camera and with a miniature sensor strapped to their heads. 'Rats displayed innate - that is, without any training or prior exposure to music - beat synchronization most distinctly within 120-140 beats per minute (bpm),' said Associate Professor Hirokazu Takahashi.

House of Gucci, in theaters this week, is ostensibly a drama about the family behind the Italian fashion house, but it is soon clear what the movie is really about: accents. It's a showcase for stars like Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, and Al Pacino to test-drive their Italian and Italian-accented English, and critical reactions have been mixed, to say the least: Lady Gaga was slammed by one expert for sounding more Russian than Italian, and Jared Leto earned comparisons to a certain cartoon plumber. How fair is all this grousing? To get an expert's perspective on the matter, Slate spoke to Garrett Strommen, who runs a Los Angeles company that offers language lessons and dialect coaching, among other services. Strommen has worked as a dialect coach and consultant for TV, movies, commercials, video games, and more, and agreed to explain exactly what is going on with Gaga and Leto in House of Gucci. Our conversation has been edited and condensed. Heather Schwedel: Can you tell me about your background with Italian?

Advanced AI systems can figure out linguistic principles on their own, without first practicing on sentences that humans have labeled for them, according to new research. It's much closer to how human children learn languages long before adults teach them grammar or syntax, the researchers report. Even more surprising, however, they found that the AI model appears to infer "universal" grammatical relationships that apply to many different languages. Imagine you're training a computer with a solid vocabulary and a basic knowledge about parts of speech. How would it understand this sentence: "The chef who ran to the store was out of food"?

On a crisp Saturday morning in Orsay, a southwestern suburb of Paris with some 16,500 inhabitants, the rue de Paris was bustling. But while many residents were doing their usual weekend shopping at the fishmonger or the butcher shop, further up the street, in a small former chateau that is now the town's cultural center, about 80 people had set aside their late-morning hours to hear the "voeux" of their legislative representative to the National Assembly, Cédric Villani. The voeux, or "new year's wishes," are a standard exercise of French politicians from the president on down, in which they review activities of the past year and lay out projects for the year to come. Villani, a mathematician and Fields Medal winner (often shorthanded as the equivalent of the Nobel Prize in mathematics), was new to the practice; only six months earlier, he was still an academic. He was dressed as always -- winter or summer -- in a black three-piece suit, a shirt with cufflinks, a spider brooch on his lapel, and a large, floppy tie called a lavallière (today's version in purple).

The combination of face-mapping and video projections makes for a trippy experience. The technology transforms the human face into a canvas for digital art. When a bright red lightning bolt appeared on Lady Gaga's face during her David Bowie tribute at the Grammys last year, the projection mapping technique went from niche studios to a mainstream audience. Now, the studio behind that performance has dropped a visual experiment called Inori to demonstrate the pace and precision of a new system. Nobumichi Asai, creative director of a Japanese visual studio called WOW, is a new media artist who is known for experimenting with face-mapping and video projections.

Video Friday is your weekly selection of awesome robotics videos, collected by your Automaton bloggers. We'll also be posting a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics events for the next two months; here's what we have so far (send us your events!): Let us know if you have suggestions for next week, and enjoy today's videos. You may recognize some of the robots featured in this 10-minute overview of DLR's Robotics and Mechatronics Center: Rollin' Justin, Toro, LBR iiwa. But the one that caught our attention (starting at 5:40) is the super sleek ROboMObil vehicle.

Lady Gaga's incredible Super Bowl halftime show was due in part to Intel's fleet of 300 drones that helped create her dazzling performance. As the Dancing in the Dark hitmaker opened up the show, hundreds of drones soared behind her, flying high into formation to create stunning visuals over the Houston skyline. Intel was behind the stunning pre-recorded art display that transformed bobs of lights into a glittering flag and shimmering stars during the show on Sunday night. Lady Gaga's incredible Super Bowl halftime show was due in part to Intel's fleet of 300 drones that helped create her dazzling performance over the Houston skyline on Sunday night The project, dubbed Shooting Stars, was first used in a three-week run at Disney World over the holiday season. They are all controlled by a single operating system, reported Tech Crunch.
