what he can learn, see if he can pick up any business tips from P. And I can't tell you how this works out, but just I'll give you one hint: Asok the intern, it doesn't go well for him. That's all you need to know. All right, next story. According to Oxford University Health, caffeine is linked to better vascular health. Oh yeah. If you're feeling stronger, it's because of me. You had an extra si…

So the... is she the president? I guess that would be the title of Italy's Giorgia Meloni. She's in court because she's trying to get deepfakes, the pornographic ones of her, banned. So she doesn't want people to make deepfake porn of her. Apparently they exist, and she says it's a form of violence.
Now this opens up many deep and interesting questions. Number one, I can certainly see your point. If you made a porn of a public figure and you put it online, you could see how, if you were a woman especially, it would seem like effectively violence, right? It would be sort of a psychological violence, but violence. And I can see the point. I completely understand that. Now I don't know if it'd be the same for a man, but I'm willing to find out. So if anybody wants to make an X-rated porno involving me, go ahead. I promise I won't accuse you of violence. Just be generous. That's all I'm asking. Just be generous.
Now it's no laughing matter if this is done to a woman or somebody who's underage. Obviously this is a sort of crime that's not going to hit every victim the same. In my case it would just be funny, but you could certainly see how if you were a woman or especially if you were a minor, it would be devastating. So don't make... we're not going to make fun of it, unless it's about me, and then you can make fun of it.
But this raises a question. So you've all seen that AI can take some real person and then put them in a scene. We've seen that it can take real people like a photograph of a person and turn it into a talking kind of an icon. Is there yet an app where you can take a picture of the woman who turned you down and then turn her into your permanent digital girlfriend? Does that exist? Because it feels like only the parts exist. Like there's one app that can make somebody talk. There's another app that can make it look like the picture that you gave it. And probably there's a third thing that doesn't do either of those two things that can turn it into a conversational app.
I don't think we're yet at the point where you could just take the photograph from Facebook of the girl that rejected you in high school and it just turned her into your digital girlfriend. Now here's my question. Obviously that will exist. Would you agree? There's no way around that. People will absolutely be taking real-life photographs of people, sometimes they don't even know, which is somebody they like, and turning it into their digital servant. Now is that a crime? Suppose you're just doing i

t for personal use. Suppose you took a real-life person, took a photo, even added their voice if there's some audio of them. If you create a whole digital sex slave that's based very closely on a real person, does the real person have any claim against you, or should they? This is such new territory that it's hard to imagine even how you'd respond to it. But here's the part that you can know for…
