Instagram May Be Quietly Adding AI-Generated Headlines to Your Posts

Few of us are under the illusion that we own the content that we post on Instagram, but we do get a say in how that content is presented—w can choose which photos and videos we share, what captions appear (or don't appear) on each post, as well as whether or not we include where the image was taken or shared from. We might not control the platform, but we do control the content of our posts—unless those posts are found on search engines like Google. As reported by 404 Media, it appears that Instagram is experimenting with AI-generated SEO titles for users' posts—without those users' input or permission. Take this post for example: Author Jeff VanderMeer uploaded a short video of rabbits eating a banana to his Instagram. The video was posted as-is: There was no caption, location tag, or any...

Karnataka HC stays govt’s notification mandating one-day menstrual leave

Jimmy Kimmel fires back at Trump as fate of ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ revealed – National

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel responded to U.S. President Donald Trump, calling him a “horrible” host after he promised to do a better job while hosting the Kennedy Center Honors over the weekend. “If I can’t beat out Jimmy Kimmel in terms of talent, then I don’t think I should be president,” Trump, 79, told reporters in the Oval Office ahead of the event on Sunday night.During his opening monologue on Monday, Kimmel, 58, said, “I don’t think I’ve ever agreed with anything more than that.

Let’s have a talent competition,” Kimmel said in re...

Poilievre to force vote on motion about Liberal support for pipeline

An effort by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to force the Liberal government to reaffirm its commitment to a new pipeline to the West Coast will face a debate and recorded vote in the House of Commons on Tuesday.
