Well, you can watch it in the video below. Creators at channel Calamity AI used a GPT-3 powered tool to write the lyrics to a Mark Zuckerberg diss song and spit it out as if it was Eminem himself. The lyrics don’t really feel like a rap song, rather a set of gibberish sentences spewed out by an AI, but we’ll let you judge that for yourself. For instance, “When you wake up, you’re like the man who invented toast....

Electronic Arts is one of the world’s biggest game publishers, but that doesn’t mean the publisher of Battlefield, FIFA, and The Sims is safe from hackers, who announced they stole source codes and vast stores of user information recently. Meanwhile, the U.S. government says they’ve successfully recovered most of the ransom money paid to Russian hackers who compromised the critical Colonial Pipeline earlier this year. And after being told they were virtually impregnable, there’s now fear that ultra-secure cryptocurrency wallets may not be as safe as thought and could soon become prime hacker targets....

Bibb Home thinks they’ve hit that universal sweet spot for virtually anyone who sleeps with their Shredded Memory Foam Bamboo Pillow....
To celebrate the country’s Independence Day, each year the President of Israel opens his home to people of all walks of life and personally meets them for a brief selfie sesh, accompanied by an uplifting speech.

According to a press release, President Reuven Rivlin is set to “visit” each and every home in Israel in his virtual form, as he believes that “now, more than ever, personal contact with Israel’s citizens is of paramount importance....
But particle accelerators are much more than enormous toys for scientists to play with. They have practical uses too, though their sheer size has, so far, prevented their widespread use. Now, as part of large-scale European collaboration, my team has published a report that explains in detail how a far smaller particle accelerator could be built – closer to the size of a large room, rather than a large city....
Earlier this month, Trump issued an executive order that prohibits any US-based company to conduct transactions with the app after mid-September. That means any firm interesting in buying TikTok — like Mircosoft or Oracle — will need to finish the deal before the 45-day deadline ends.

However, it observed that there’s a lack of due process and the administration pays “no attention to the facts....

The American ride hailing company is going to work with Thames Clippers, a company that already runs river bus services on the city’s river, to provide the service. As with its other services, Uber is leaving the actual driving to someone else. According to various reports, the two companies will collaborate to offer commuter boat taxis that can be booked directly through the Uber app. It’s not exactly like Uber though, booking through the app is the equivalent of buying a conventional bus ticket — the boats will still operate on a predetermined timetable....

The UK’s passport program went live in 2016.

We’ve done this a few times before — whether that’s rating each iOS 14.5 update by how much they’ll annoy Zuckerberg, or those in iOS 14.7 by how useful the new features would be in space. And this time? Well, we’re gonna be boring and rank them from worst to best. What? Don’t complain! All this means is the next Apple ranking will be even stranger. THE WORST NEW iOS 15....
