ALWAYS carry an extra finger with you so you can later claim that the photo is a deepfake.

Scarlett Johansson has just issued this statement on OpenAI.

I have confirmed its authenticity directly with her publicist.

"Last September, I received an offer from Sam Altman, who wanted to hire me to voice the current ChatGPT 4.0 system. He told me that he felt that by my voicing the system, I could bridge the gap between tech companies and creatives and help consumers to feel comfortable with the seismic shift concerning humans and Al. He said he felt that my voice would be comforting to people.

After much consideration and for personal reasons, declined the offer.

Nine months later, my friends, family and the general public all noted how much the newest system named "Sky" sounded like me.

When I heard the released demo, I was shocked, angered and in disbelief that Mr. Altman would pursue a voice that sounded so eerily similar to mine that my closest friends and news outlets could not tell the difference. Mr. Altman even insinuated that the similarity was intentional, tweeting a single word "her" - a reference to the film in which | voiced a chat system, Samantha, who forms an intimate relationship with a human.

Two days before the ChatGPT 4.0 demo was released, Mr. Altman contacted my agent, asking me to reconsider. Before we could connect, the system was out there.

As a result of their actions, I was forced to hire legal counsel, who wrote two letters to Mr. Altman and OpenAl, setting out what they had done and asking them to detail the exact process by which they created the "Sky" voice. Consequently, OpenAl reluctantly agreed to take down the "Sky" voice.

In a time when we are all grappling with deepfakes and the protection of our own likeness, our own work, our own identities, I believe these are questions that deserve absolute clarity. I look forward to resolution in the form of transparency and the passage of appropriate legislation to help ensure that individual rights are protected.”

Unlike his colleagues, Ben's tailoring is not bad. Jackets have shape and fit him well. Compare his jacket to Peterson's, which looks like it was dunked in water (the small collar gap on Ben would be filled if he wore a dress shirt). Tonal seersucker in the second pic is cool

This is absolutely insane. This...simply has to change.

The CRA confirms that tenants are responsible for withholding 25% of their foreign landlords' rent and paying it to the CRA — something almost no one was aware of a month ago.

"The Government of Canada continuously reviews the tax system to ensure it is both fair and efficient."

2. ביום שבת, ב-16:30, גבר חמוש בסכין נכנס למרכז קניות בפרבר בסידני ודקר למוות חמש נשים וגבר. הדיווחים הראשוניים כללו תמונה לא ברורה של אדם הלבוש בחולצה ירוקה עם פסים צהובים. הוא מיד סומן כג'יהאדיסט איסלאמי, ללא ביסוס. רק אחרי שעות ארוכות הוא יזוהה כ- Joel Cauchi בן ה-40.

Absolutely bonkers story here: A court has ruled a tenant can be held liable for taxes that a non-resident landlord fails to pay. So tenants are expected to keep tabs on where their landlords live and pay taxes... https://t.co/qF9fxcwUyD

LOBLAWS RECEIPT SCANNERS

[Jonathan Klinger @jonklinger]

And now in English. I always enjoyed people who interact with scammers. Mine apparently was too stupid. A few minutes ago I got this message asking for an interview; this is quite standard. So I asked myself, "what's the scam?".
