Manipulated photo of British royalty 2419w
Three news agencies removed an image from Kate Middleton, released on Mother's Day by Kensington Palace, raising suspicions of manipulation. The photo, taken by Prince William, featured the Princess of Wales with her three children.
A Associated Press was the first to remove the image, mentioning a “inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte's left hand“. This action was followed by Reuters and AFP, after post-publication analyses.
The release of the image marked the Princess of Wales's first official appearance since her abdominal surgery two months ago, meaning she has remained out of the public eye ever since. Kate shared the photo on the couple's social media, thanking them for the they received during their recovery period and in honor of Mother's Day.
This controversy surrounding image manipulation led to speculation about Kate's health, while the Kensington Palace preferred not to comment on the case. The situation led Kate Middleton to apologize, explaining that, like many amateur photographers, she occasionally experiments with editing and leading to the understanding that the image had actually been manipulated.
The controversy highlighted the importance of news agencies in ensuring the accuracy of their images by following strict guidelines on digital manipulation. As the royal family faces these media challenges, the main focus continues to be Kate's recovery.
Gork, Elon Musk's AI, in open source 1486t
Elon Musk says it will make the generative artificial intelligence chatbot available in open source Grok in the next days. The billionaire CEO of X. AI, Tesla e SpaceX shared the news recently on X (formerly Twitter). In response to a comment asking the company led by Sam Altman, OpenAI, which owns ChatGPT, to do the same, Musk stated that “OpenAI is a lie".
The decision to open source Grok, known for its more eccentric personality compared to others generative AI chatbots (like Gemini or ChatGPT), comes shortly after Musk launched a lawsuit against OpenAI for alleged breach of contract by betraying its original non-profit mission and closing its technological discoveries to the public. We even talked about this case in trio from last week, be sure to check it out to understand the entire context.
Musk has previously argued that maintaining an open AI model is important so that its discoveries benefit all of humanity, rather than the profit of a single company. OpenAI responded to the lawsuit by publishing a series of private emails between Musk and the AI company's leaders, suggesting that Musk was seeking full control over OpenAI. The businessman also thought it should merge with Tesla to secure substantial long-term financing.
According to the site X. AI, Grok is being developed by a team of 16 people, including Musk. The startup continues to update Grok and is currently hiring for several different engineering roles. Last week, the X.AI team announced that Grok is now supposedly three times faster than before. In December, Grok became available to X s who pay for the subscription option X .
And with that we conclude today's Trio. In a ceremony filled with intense speeches, the 2024 Oscars tried to revive some of the event's traditions, not to mention the awards that were very well awarded.
The news about the manipulation of Kate Middleton's image can be used to encourage everyone to edit images on social media, not to mention the responsibility of news agencies to avoid this type of publication.
And we also saw another episode involving Elon Musk and his cases related to technology. This time we are waiting to see what the practical effect of making Grok available in open source will be.
