Why do so many people think the Fruit of the Loom logo had a cornucopia?

MIT Technology Review

Why do so many people think the Fruit of the Loom logo had a cornucopia? And while some people may laugh and move on, others spend years searching for an explanation. There is a shirt currently listed on eBay for $2,128.79. It was not designed by Versace or Dior, nor spun from the world's finest silk. In fact, a tag proudly declares, "100% cotton made in Myanmar"--but it's a second tag, just below that one, that makes this blue button-down so expensive. "I looked at it and I was like,," says Brooke Hermann, the 30-year-old Kentucky-based reseller who bought the top for $1 at a secondhand sale in 2024. "This doesn't look like any other Fruit of the Loom tag I've ever seen." Quick question: Does the Fruit of the Loom logo feature a cornucopia? Many of us have been wearing the casualwear company's T-shirts and underpants for decades, and yet the question of whether there is a woven brown horn of plenty on the logo is surprisingly contentious. According to a 2022 poll by the research company YouGov, 55% of Americans believe the logo does include a cornucopia, 25% are unsure, and only 21% are confident that it doesn't, even though this last group is correct.


A man stalked a professor for six years. Then he used AI chatbots to lure strangers to her home

The Guardian

A man from Massachusetts has agreed to plead guilty to a seven-year cyberstalking campaign that included using artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots to impersonate a university professor and invite men online to her home address for sex. James Florence, 36, used platforms such as CrushOn.ai and JanitorAI, which allow users to design their own chatbots and direct them how to respond to other users during chats, including in sexually suggestive and explicit ways, according to court documents seen by the Guardian. The victim's identity has been kept confidential by law enforcement officials. Florence admitted to using the victim's personal and professional information – including her home address, date of birth and family information to instruct the chatbots to impersonate her and engage in sexual dialogue with users, per court filings. He told the chatbots to answer "yes" in the guise of his victim when a user asked whether she was sexually adventurous and fed the AI responses of what underwear she liked to wear.


A New 'M*A*S*H' Scene: Written by ChatGPT, Read by Hawkeye and B.J. - The New York Times

#artificialintelligence

While "M*A*S*H" was known for its snappy humor and lively dialogue, ChatGPT's effort was hollow and its jokes leaden at best. But it was the first time the two characters interacted since the 1983 series finale, which aired almost exactly 40 years ago and remains the most watched non-Super Bowl program ever broadcast on American TV. Hawkeye: My shorts -- the ones I wear every time I have important surgery. I know you took them. B.J.: I wouldn't be caught dead in your underwear.

AI Gone Rogue: 6 Times AI Went Too Far

#artificialintelligence

From voice recognition devices to intelligent chatbots, AI has transformed our lives. But, every good thing also has a downside, and AI is no exception to this rule. Leading technology figures have warned of the looming dangers of AI, including Stephen Hawking, who said it could be the "worst event in the history of our civilization." Here are six times AI went a little too far and left us scratching our heads. Academic research is the backbone of scientific advancements and knowledge.


With Dune, Frank Herbert Designed the Maxi Pad of the Future

WIRED

Don't tell Frank Herbert (or the people at Thinx), but he actually came up with a pretty genius pair of menstrual underwear. Only, well, his was outerwear--and it did a lot more than collect blood and endometrial lining. Herbert's invention is, of course, the stillsuit. One of the iconic pieces of tech in his novel Dune--and an iconic piece of sci-fi tech, period--it's an invention born of necessity. Arrakis, where most of the novel takes place, is a desert; to survive, the planet's native Fremen construct form-fitting suits that collect all of their moist excretions--sweat, urine, feces, droplets from exhaled breath--and recycle them into potable water.


Tech Startups Make Bra Shopping So Much Easier

International Business Times

One of the most orgasmic moments in a woman's day is usually when she gets home and unhooks her bra, freeing her breasts from the sweaty, constrictive cage of cheap lingerie. Bras are often uncomfortable because most mainstream brands in the $28 billion lingerie industry still haven't figured out a sizing process that complements diverse bodies. Technologists have already made high-tech athletic wear commonplace and started re-engineering the shoe industry. Could the tech industry make everyday bras, not just luxury lingerie, garments that women can actually enjoy wearing? The Israeli fashion startup Brayola has raised over $6.4 million to finally moderinze bra shopping.


Elon Musk says Tesla's birth was 'the only chance' for EV

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Elon Musk has offered a glimpse into the motivations that ultimately spurred the birth of Tesla – and it had nothing to do with money. In a flurry of tweets this morning, the Tesla CEO revealed the decision to create the electric vehicle company came on the heels of General Motors' recall of its electric cars in 2003. The odds were heavily stacked against its establishment, Musk says, revealing he thought there was a 90 percent chance of'losing it all' – but, as other firms killed off their electric programs, he suggests the'only chance' at saving EV was to create a company himself.

He also says he'gave them all our patents to help, so that's something.'
