Latin America has been the cradle of now globally popular literary and musical genres, staple foods like the potato and the inspiration behind the well-known Happy Meal. It could also become the cradle of a new form of AI.

A coalition of research institutions is working on what they call LatAmGPT — a tool that can take into account the region’s language variances, cultural experiences and “idiosyncrasies.”

The aim is to offer users a more faithful peek into and representation of the Americas and the Caribbean than that of large language models (LLMs) that have mostly come from U.S. or Chinese companies and were largely trained in English.

“We want to develop our capabilities, find local AI-based solutions and create a better understanding of these tools in Latin America and about Latin America,” said Rodrigo Durán Rojas, director of Chile’s National Center for Artificial Intelligence, which is coordinating the effort.

Durán Rojas said that for general purposes, the project will be hard pressed to compete with “state of the art models with multimillion budgets,” but that “what our model can offer that others don’t is a much richer and representative outlook of Latin America and the Caribbean,” its people and its outputs.

For example, Durán Rojas said initial testing has shown LatAmGPT to have far better results when queried about South American history, and that the same is expected for when the LLM is asked to, say, write a poem in the style of local authors or provide an overview of regional education policy.

There are more than 30 institutions involved in developing LatAmGPT from countries across the hemisphere, and collaborators include Latinos in the U.S. such as Freddy Vilches Meneses, an associate professor of Hispanic studies at Lewis & Clark College in Oregon. This, he said, is in recognition of how “Latino and Latin American experiences are a cultural fellowship that goes beyond geography.”

“There are elements of…

Actor Adam Mondschein, who appeared alongside Blake Lively in “It Ends With Us,” claims the movie star mischaracterized their scene together in her bombshell sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.

“I’m not going to speculate as to Ms. Lively’s motivations for mentioning me in the complaint. Needless to say, my experience working with her is very different than the one she described in her lawsuit,” Mondschein, who played Doctor Dunbar in the popular 2024 film, exclusively tells .

“Indeed, I was surprised to read her description of the scene.”

Lively, 37, alleged in her initial complaint and the amended version filed in February, both of which obtained, that she was “disturbed” by many of Baldoni’s actions on set, including “new scenes” he chose to have in the film, such as a “violative birthing scene for which he cast a friend as her OBGYN.”

She also claimed in the suit that the “It Ends With Us” director, 41, “introduced his ‘best friend’ to play the role of the OBGYN, when ordinarily, a small role of this nature would be filled by a local actor.”

“Ms. Lively felt that the selection of Mr. Baldoni’s friend for this intimate role, in which the actor’s face and hands were in close proximity to her nearly nude genitalia for a birth scene, was invasive and humiliating,” the complaint further alleged.

Mondschein — whose character helped deliver Lively’s character Lily’s baby in the aforementioned and pivotal hospital scene — maintains that everything that occurred when they filmed was above board.

In response to Lively’s claim that she was “nearly nude,” he alleges, “Her costume included a full hospital gown, black shorts and torso-covering prosthetic to make her appear pregnant in addition to whatever personal garments she chose.”

Mondschein further claims that the “Gossip Girl” alum “never complained or expressed…

Warning: This article contains spoilers.

“The White Lotus” scrapped an unexpected sex scene between Sarah Catherine Hook and Nicholas Duvernay’s characters in the shocking Season 3 finale.

The show’s creator, Mike White, revealed Piper Ratliff (Hook) and Zion Lindsey (Duvernary) were supposed to hook up, even though viewers never saw them cross paths at the Thailand resort in previous episodes.

“The part that was cut, which is very disappointing, is that she decides to lose her virginity in the script in the last episode, and she actually has sex with Zion, which is Belinda’s son,” the director said on “The White Lotus Official Podcast” Monday.

“There’s a whole scene where she’s like, ‘It’s true. … I need to get this over with,’” White added.

He explained that Piper had an epiphany that she needed to have sex after spending the night in the Buddhist monastery.

However, the scene would have added an additional 10 minutes to the action-packed season finale. Plus, the “romantic rom-com vibe” didn’t match the overall darker tone of the episode.

“I was trying to do too much narratively,” White, 54, admitted.

White said the sex scene in question would have come as Piper’s dad, Tom Ratliff (played by Jason Isaacs), was plotting to kill most of his family with piña coladas spiked with poisonous seeds.

Piper’s brother Lochlan, portrayed by Sam Nivola, later appears to die in the episode after he whips up a protein shake in the contaminated blender.

However, he ultimately survives and reawakens in his father’s arms.

However, couple Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood) and Rick Hatchett (Walton Goggins) were not so lucky as…

Blake Lively has apologized to Taylor Swift for dragging the pop star into her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni, a source exclusively tells .

“It was important to Blake to be on good terms again with Taylor. It was never her intention to hurt Taylor or cause any harm to their friendship,” an insider explains.

“Blake missed their friendship and she hopes they can put this whole thing behind them.”

The source says that Swift “appreciated” Lively’s apology and “felt it was genuine and heartfelt.”

“[Taylor] has no hard feelings and is ready to move forward,” the insider adds.

Reps for Swift, 35, and Lively, 37, weren’t immediately available to for comment.

The 14-time Grammy winner was named in the “It Ends With Us” co-stars’ legal dispute after Baldoni claimed in his $400 million lawsuit that Lively tried to use Swift’s influence as leverage to gain creative control of the film.

The “Jane the Virgin” star alleged he was at one point invited to Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds’ NYC penthouse, where a “famously close” friend was also present.

Baldoni claimed Reynolds and the “friend” — allegedly Swift — gushed over the “Gossip Girl” alum’s script rewrites for a scene in the domestic violence drama based on Colleen Hoover’s 2016 novel.

Following the alleged meeting, Baldoni allegedly texted Lively about her revisions.

“I really love what you did. It really does help a lot,” he texted. “Makes it so much more fun and interesting. (And I would have felt that way without Ryan or Taylor).”

The “Another Simple Favor” actress then allegedly responded by referring to Swift and Reynolds as “absolute titans” in the industry and the “dragons” who protected her, like Khaleesi in “Game of Thrones.”

Mark Consuelos is showing off his enviable physique.

The actor, 54, was announced as Stuart Weitzman’s first-ever male global ambassador in November 2024, and now he’s showing off his impressively ripped figure for their spring 2025 campaign.

The “Live with Kelly and Mark” co-host shows some serious skin while modeling new sneakers and dress shoes from the luxury brand’s men’s line.

In one extra risqué image, Consuelos loses all clothing except for a dark long-sleeve top tied around his waist, black ankle socks and a pair of platform oxfords.

Another raunchy snap shows the “All My Children” alum rocking nothing but a dark trend coat, sheer knee-high socks and black loafers.

The skin-baring photos were captured by fashion photographer Ned Rogers, who had previously photographed Consuelos for the brand’s fall 2024 campaign.

His campaign shots represent “the next step in Stuart Weitzman’s foray into the men’s footwear space: It symbolizes the brand delving deeper into the modern man’s life to provide a range of designs to elevate his every day,” according to the brand’s press release.

“I love my Stuart Weitzman shoes and wear them often, whether on the show, on the red carpet or during my downtime,” Consuelos said in the press release. “I look and feel my best in them, and I think this really shows in the new campaign!”

During the Nov. 22 episode of Consuelos and wife Kelly Ripa’s talk show, Ripa not only announced her husband’s new campaign, but she even gave fans an exclusive first look at Consuelos’ seductive snaps.

“Of course I thought I would show…

Dave Allen, who played bass guitar during influential British post-punk band Gang of Four’s early years — and who went on to found the group Shriekback — has died. He was 69.

Allen’s former Gang of Four bandmate Hugo Burnham shared the news of his passing on Sunday (April 6).

“It is with broken yet full hearts that we share the news that Dave Allen, our old music partner, friend, and brilliant musician, died on Saturday morning,” Burnham wrote on Gang of Four’s Instagram, where the band featured several photos in a tribute to Allen. “He was at home with his family.”

“Dave had endured the early-onset of mixed dementia for some years which has been a heartbreaking time for his wife Paddy, his children, and close friends. Our love and thoughts are with them,” he stated.

The note continued: “Jon and I [Hugo] went to see him and spent a lovely afternoon with him and the family. We talked and laughed for hours, sharing rich and vivid memories of good times together. Adventures, careers in music, raising families, our interwoven lives spanning half a century. We’ve been so very lucky to have had the Ace of Bass in our lives. We know that Dave would have wanted nothing more than to step onstage with us again in Portland on our farewell US tour. But it’s now a bridge too far. Goodbye, Old Friend.”

After joining Gang of Four with Burnham, Jon King and Andy Gill in Leeds in 1976, Allen made his mark as bassist on the band’s debut album, 1979’s Entertainment!, and their follow-up set, 1981’s Solid Gold. While neither were chart successes in the U.S., Gang of Four’s early work influenced the likes of Michael Stipe, Flea and Kurt Cobain, who included Entertainment! on his top 50 albums list (as published in the posthumous Journals).

In 1981, Allen formed Shriekback with Barry Andrews (XTC, The League of Gentlemen), and went on to record a number of albums with the group.

Top Hollywood actors, such as Chris Hemsworth, get nervous too.

Before Amazon MGM Studios presented his new movie Crime 101 at CinemaCon earlier this week, the actor revealed to E! News on the red carpet that he was “intimidated” to work with Halle Berry on the crime thriller.

“I’ve admired Halle’s work for many, many years. I was obviously very intimidated to sit opposite her within a scene and try and, you know, not just be in awe of what she was doing,” Hemsworth shared.

However, the Thor: Love and Thunder star noted that Berry was quick to ease his worries once they started filming the Bart Layton-directed feature.

“Certain people just bring out not just the best in you, but also sort of a comfort level where it feels like it’s a place to explore and it’s a place to examine different ideas and try different things. And that was the experience [with Berry],” Hemsworth added. “I loved every second of it.”

And it’s clear Berry felt the same way, as the Oscar winner also told E! News that Hemsworth was now “one of my new favorite people in the whole wide world.”

“[He’s] a stand-up guy,” the X-Men actress said. “I won’t go into it now but he stood up for me in a moment in our movie, and instantly I knew right then I’m gonna follow this guy, be a fan of this guy for the rest of his life because he stood up for a woman. He didn’t have to do it and he did it.”

The two actors were in Las Vegas on Tuesday with Layton to tease Crime 101 at CinemaCon. The film, based on author Don Winslow’s novella of the same name, follows detective Lou Lubesnick as he attempts to solve a string of jewel heists by tracking the perpetrator who follows a strict set of rules known as “Crime 101.” Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Tate Donovan, Devon Bostick, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Nick Nolte round out the cast.

Hoist on their own pee tract!

A hipster customer helped cause an uproar that spread across the internet and into the mainstream press last month after claiming on social media that they got a UTI from a scene-y Williamsburg spa.

But after digging into the matter, an attorney for the spa had a urethra eureka moment: he concluded that the influencer may have got the affliction not from a relaxing dip but from “other activities.”

The learned man of law and justice wrote the customer a letter in which he gently suggested that it’s much more likely that they got the infection from sexual escapades — which they had posted about elsewhere online.

There was something of a virtual pile-on last month after a number of influencers and other online commenters claimed to have had unsavory experiences at low-lit retreat Bathhouse in the trendy Brooklyn neighborhood.

New York Magazine’s Curbed blog picked up the story, as did the New York Post. (The spa has rigorously denied all the allegations, and says that multiple routine and special visits from the New York City Department of Health have found no irregularities).

The spa fired off a number of legal letters to various people with inflamed tempers (some with allegedly inflamed other bits, too) who had made the incendiary posts.

But one contained a rather pinkeye-catching detail.

Attorney Adam P. Gilbert Esq., senior counsel at the firm of Nixon Peabody LLP, discovered that the same account that was used to complain about the alleged UTI was also used to crowdsource advice on a vexing sexual relationship they were in, with somewhat graphic depictions of their intercourse.

While other letters that Gilbert sent to people who’d made allegedly defamatory claims simply asked them to remove the posts from social media and laid out the legal recourse in the event that they did not, in the letter to our horny and aggrieved Williamsburger he helpfully…

April Fools Day is usually a fun day with pranks, goofs, and hilarity all around.

In trying to not let the spirit of April Fool’s Day die, here are some of the Greatest Hits of April Fools Day Internet Hoaxes of the past 10 years or so:

2010: Google renames their company “Topeka”

Oh, 2010 was a simpler time. That year, Topeka, Kansas informally renamed their town “Google” for the month of March. Mayor Bill Bunten told CNN that he was doing it for “fun,” and Google reciprocated the gesture by renaming the search engine “Topeka.” Google has been notorious for an annual April Fool’s Day prank every year, but decided to sit out of 2020.

2011: Youtube travels back to 1911

Youtube got in their time machine and went back to 1911 for their 2011 April Fool’s Day Prank. The site featured vintage-looking logos and a 1911 button that let users experience what youtube was like in 1911. They even made a video showing off some of Youtube’s ancestors like “The Irksome Citrus”, “Flugelhorn Feline”, and “Ruth Roll’d.”

2012: Kodak Liveprint

Click Here to see.

Poking fun at then-new 3d printing technology, kodak unveiled their breakthrough technology Liveprint! Go to any KODAK Picture Kiosk in stores, select from 12 popular breeds of cats, wait 90-seconds, and fall in love with your brand new kitten! With 3D printing now having the capability to print medical equipment and even fully functional organs, this idea may not be too far off from being reality..

2013: Twttr

On April 1st, 2013, Twitter announced it was moving to a two-tier service. The first, free option, “Twttr” allowed users to only use consonants in their messages. the second option allowed for users to pay $5/month to utilize vowels. The only exception to free users is the hybrid vowel/consonant “Y,” which Twitter explained “Because our users come first, we believe that “Y” should always be free to everyone — today and forever.”

2014:…
