AI is coming for the OnlyFans chat industry
For many OnlyFans creators, chatting with fans and upselling lucrative content, is they key to success. Now, specialized firms are offering AI solutions to automate the conversations with fans, raising a slew of sticky issues.

Trump did not send emails or text messages.
This aversion has long been known, but the trial testimony laid out a whole series of ways in which Trump communicated without leaving precise documentation.
He was on the phone beginning at 6 in the morning and “late into the night after I went to bed, so I always felt guilty about that,” Westerhout testified.
He’d often use Schiller’s cellphone to make calls, and employees would use that number to reach Trump.
There were no…

What Donald Trump’s Criminal Trial May Indicate About a Second Trump Term
The picture that emerged in the New York courtroom was of a person on top of details, aware of what his team is doing. Along with outside events, it suggests Trump will be even less constricted by rules and norms than he was before.

Asteroid Kamo`oalewa's journey from the lunar Giordano Bruno crater to Earth 1:1 resonance: #Tianwen2 asteroid sampling mission, exhibits a meta-stable 1:1 mean-motion resonance with Earth. [...] Here we use numerical simulations to demonstrate that Kamo`oalewa's physical and orbital properties are compatible with a fragment from a crater larger than 10--20 km formed on the Moon in the last few million years."

No. There’s no “turns out” in this. There are just people who are ignorant of history and the provenance of musical instruments. We’ve long known from whence the banjo came.

It's often thought of as a quintessential Americana instrument. But the history of the banjo tells a different story. #press https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2024/04/05/1242304226/beyonce-texas-hold-em-banjo-carter-country?utm_medium=JSONFeed&utm_campaign=news&utm_source=press.coop

Knotted 4-regular graphs II: Consistent application of the Pachner moves
A common choice for the evolution of the knotted graphs in loop quantum gravity is to use the Pachner moves, adapted to graphs from their dual triangulations. Here, we show that the natural way to consistently use these moves is on framed graphs with edge twists, where the Pachner moves can only be performed when the twists, and the vertices the edges are incident on, meet certain criteria. For other twists, one can introduce an algebraic object, which allow any knotted graph with framed edges …

Evaluation of Vortex Criteria by Virtue of the Quadruple Decomposition of Velocity Gradient Tensor
Based on the analysis of the velocity gradient tensor, we investigate in this paper the physical interpretation and limitations of four vortex criteria: $ω$, $Q$, $\varDelta$ and $λ_{ci}$, and reveal the actual physical meaning of vortex patterns which are usually illustrated by level sets of various vortex criteria. A quadruple decomposition based on the normality of the velocity gradient tensor is proposed for the first time, which resolves the motion of a fluid element into dilation, axial…

Trump is currently leading in the polls.
It’s entirely possible he will be elected president.
Yet he’s continuing to aggressively pursue business deals in countries that will have a long list of issues on which they will be seeking U.S. support.
The Trump Organization entered a full-on partnership with LIV Golf,
an entity majority-owned by the government of Saudi Arabia,
for tournaments at his golf courses.
And last year, a New York Times reporter and p…
