Artists outraged by artificial intelligence that copies, in seconds, the styles they have sacrificed years to develop are waging battle online and in court. Fury erupted in the art community last year, with the release of generative AI programs that can convincingly carry out commands such as drawing a dog like cartoonist Sarah Andersen would, or a nymph the way illustrator Karla Ortiz might do. Such style-swiping AI works are cranked out without the original artist’s consent, credit or compensation – the three Cs at the heart of a fight to change all that. In January, artists including Andersen and Ortiz filed a class-action lawsuit against DreamUp, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion, three image-generating AI models programmed with art found online. Andersen said she felt “violated” when first she saw an…

The Easter holiday, set to be observed from April 7 to 9 this year, has earned its place, alongside the festive season as one of the busiest times of the year for various sectors, particularly retail and tourism. Statistics SA says retail trade sales increased by more than 7% last year compared to April, when compared to 2021, with general dealers topping the list. Following on the heels of the general dealers were the clothing, footwear and leather goods sectors. Given that this year will be the second Easter weekend unrestricted by lockdown laws since 2019, the surge in consumer demand will probably continue on an upward trajectory. For small- to medium-sized enterprises operating within the retail sector, the period presents the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the seasonal…

Many foods are commonly paired together for taste – fruit jam and peanut butter, ham and cheese, cookies and milk, spaghetti and meatballs, wine and cheese, the list goes on. Yet there is a more important reason to pair certain foods, and that is to increase nutrient absorption. It is true – the foods you eat together can increase the beneficial effects of eating, including increasing nutrient absorption and boosting the effectiveness of antioxidants. It is common knowledge that “we are what we eat”, but in reality “we are what we absorb” which is why food combinations that improve absorption are key. Our body’s ability to absorb a nutrient from food is called nutrient bio-availability, and it is totally possible to enhance the bio-availability of vitamins by combining certain foods.…

Prime Hydration and Prime Energy drinks are the new must-have accessory that kids love. Created by controversial YouTubers Logan Paul and KSI, the drinks have been heavily marketed to their huge fan base of mostly young males. Prime isn’t exclusively an energy drink. Prime Hydration is the brand’s sports drink, which contains coconut water, B vitamins, and branched-chain amino acids, which bodybuilders use to promote muscle growth. The brand’s energy drink is called Prime Energy, which also contains 200mg of caffeine – double the amount contained in a can of Red Bull. Young people have been flooding supermarkets, trying to purchase the drink, with stocks quickly selling out. According to the beverage website, the YouTubers created Prime “to showcase what happens when rivals come together as brothers and business partners…

Last year, the festival, which typically has a capacity of around 6 000, was limited to 3 000 people because of Covid-19 restrictions. Given the challenges of the past few years, festival director Stu Berry is excited to be back at full capacity. “The whole crew feel energised on returning to what is the first totally normal and unrestricted Splashy,” he says. With the weather playing its part ahead of the festival, which takes place over the Easter weekend from April 6 - 10, and fan interest at an all-time high, Berry says everything is going according to plan. He also said he and his team were recently handed a major boost to their preparations when the Department of Transport agreed to sort out the P125, the main dirt access…

TikTok chief executive Shou Zi Chew faced a gruelling five hours of questioning by 22 lawmakers in a high-stakes congressional hearing with the US House Energy and Commerce Committee about the safety and security of the immensely popular app. Chew was bombarded with questions on March 23 regarding China’s relationship with his company, data privacy, possible teen addiction to the app, misinformation and fentanyl. A core concern shared by almost all 22 representatives was that TikTok’s parent company, Bytedance, might be sharing data from US users with the Chinese government. But, after watching most of the hearing myself, if I was an American, I would be more concerned about the competence of the lawmakers representing me. Since the hearing, TikTok has been awash with users mocking the sheer stupidity of…

Over the past five months, I intermittently wrote about a guru of deep tech, with 400 patents to his name, octogenarian Professor Valeriy Maisotsenko. I believe he has found a viable solution to the world’s energy crisis that affects human development and exacerbates poverty. Maisotsenko, the inventor of M-Cycle energy systems, says that through the M-Cycle, responsible use of coal and oil is possible, contrary to the global view propagating the end of the use of fossil fuels As green energy is touted, an energy crisis began in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, with shortages and increased prices in oil, gas and electricity markets. This was exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. According to the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, 922 million people from the developing world were…

The majority of us are aware of the concept of “gut health” and understand its importance to our overall well-being. But what exactly does having a healthy stomach mean? Probiotics are a popular trending health and wellness supplement, which is not surprising. Also, their emphasis is merited, given that they currently feature in more than 38 000 research pieces. Probiotics and their positive benefits on gut health are well documented in scientific literature. Probiotic supplements are anticipated to be a focus in the wellness market in the upcoming year due to their demonstrated benefits for things like GI health and immune function. Be sure to consider the components, research, colony-forming unit (CFUs), probiotic strain and storage needs while making your decision. And in 2023, look for more products that are…

Whodunits don’t have to always be intense and dark. Sometimes it can live in a zany space and BritBox’s Death in Paradise exemplifies this perfectly. The series took a fish-out-of-water approach by getting its various British detective anchors to adjust to life on the fictional island of Saint Marie. While brilliant at solving crimes, they have a social awkwardness about them. But, in mingling with the locals, they eventually found their stride. Having binged all the seasons available, I was excited to learn that there was a spinoff series, Beyond Paradise. Even better, it was with one of my favourite leads – Kris Marshall as DI Humphrey Goodman. While it doesn’t have the island vibe fans have become accustomed to, it does have engaging characters and fascinating murder cases. In…

Apple TV+’s wildly successful comedy, Ted Lasso, has returned for a third series. The show’s well-meaning, if bumbling, American coach of fictional English football team AFC Richmond is known for his motivational speeches. Take this example from the first series: “Y’all played a heck of a game out there. We may not have won, but y’all definitely succeeded … “I want you to be grateful that you’re going through this sad moment with all these other folks. “Because I promise you, there is something worse out there than being sad, and that is being alone and being sad. Ain’t nobody in this room alone.” Lasso is a good manager – and an inspirational one – who always puts his team’s needs first. He can be too optimistic and ambitious at…

With the popular resurgence of the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, it was only a matter of time before a movie studio got hold of it. I mean, another movie studio. Yes, there was a trilogy in the 2000s, with Part 2 made for TV and Part 3 going straight to video. But no, they have nothing to do with the new Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, which features a new all-star cast and succeeds better in selling the D&D experience to a wider audience than die-hard players. Here's the backstory, which unspools during a parole board hearing that opens the film: Chris Pine plays Edgin Darvis – or Ed, as he is known – a virtuosic thief who, with friends Holga (Michelle Rodriguez), Simon (Justice Smith) and Forge…

A letter signed by Elon Musk and hundreds of experts calling for a pause in the development of artificial intelligence is a “hot mess” of “AI hype” that even misrepresents an academic paper, critics say. Billionaire Tesla boss Musk and other luminaries wrote that “AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose profound risks to society and humanity”. But Timnit Gebru, whose academic paper was cited to support that claim, wrote on Twitter on Thursday that her article warned against making such inflated claims about AI. “They basically say the opposite of what we say and cite our paper,” she wrote. Her co-author, Emily Bender, said the letter was a “hot mess” and was “just dripping with AI hype”. The risks of AI, she wrote, were never about AI being “too…

South African consumers may be faced with steeper loan repayments as the SA Reserve Bank (SARB) has not ruled out implementing yet another interest rate hike next month, making life difficult amid volatile economic and financial conditions. The SARB’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) on Thursday delivered a surprise 50-basis point hike on sharply higher inflation forecasts, raising the cost of borrowing to its highest in nearly 14 years. Of the 20 economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters, none had forecast a 50 basis points increase. The SARB’s benchmark lending rate thus rose from 7.25% to 7.75% per annum, taking the prime lending rate higher from 10.75% to 11.25% per annum. This was the ninth consecutive rate hike since policy normalisation started in November 2021, which has raised the interest rate by…

The subject of parents having a favourite child has been hotly debated, with parents commonly denying that they favour one child over another. However, New York-based TikToker Alex Griswold says he has found a telltale indicator, and the fail-safe hack has startled scores of social media users. According to the Daily Mail, the “password child” hypothesis claims that you can determine who your parents’ favourite child is based on their online passwords. Griswold uploaded a video to his TikTok account explaining the theory. In the clip, which has received over 1.5 million views, he says it’s like when you’re trying to watch your parents’ Netflix, but it’s logged out. “So then you ask ‘what’s the password?’ and then they say your name or one of your sibling’s names, and then…

WHEN it comes to adventure, many survivalists deliver the adrenalin rush. Bear Grylls, Ed Stafford and Ben Fogle certainly top the list when it comes to individuals relying on their skills in some of the most uninhabitable parts of the world. And they make compelling TV shows doing so. Now, I don’t know about you, but I don’t mind being left on tenterhooks as long as it is from my couch. Roughing it is not my idea of fun. So when I was asked if I was keen to chat with Jamaican-born adventurer, Dwayne Fields, I was keen to see 7 Toughest Days first. After watching two episodes, I wondered if he had a death wish because those extreme places were more like a death trap. And bear in mind…

Angelina Jolie is reportedly launching a clothing and jewellery brand. The Maleficent actress, 47, is said to be branching out from her roles as an actress, director and human rights campaigner as she has apparently applied to trademark the upcoming business under the name Atelier Jolie.
