Disturbing trend: Teenagers are using AI “nudification” apps to create deepfaked nudes of their classmates, no consent needed. Just upload a photo of someone’s face, and boom — a naked pic appears. You can get prison time for this kind of stuff. Parents, talk to your kids.
I’d hang up: New to the Google Phone app: Audio emojis. During a call, you can select from six sound effects, including clapping, laughing and farting, which play for you and the other person. On the bright side, there’s a cooldown period, so no endless loop of fart sounds.
