He was 53.\u00a0 \n\nSpurlock earned an Oscar nomination for Super Size Me in 2004,\u00a0 his film focussing on his attempt to show the health dangers of a fast-food diet. \n\nAccording to a statement issued by his family, he died on on Thursday in New York due to complications from cancer.\u00a0 \n\n\u201cIt was a sad day, as we said goodbye to my brother Morgan,\u201d Craig Spurlock, who worked with him on several projects, said in the statement. \u201cMorgan gave so much through his art, ideas, and generosity. The world has lost a true creative genius and a special man. I am so proud to have worked together with him.\u201d \n\n\nDieting with danger \n\nSpurlock's groundbreaking film chronicling his month at McDonalds showed the how quickly people's health could spiral downwards and cause severe detrimental physical and psychological damage.\u00a0 \u00a0 \n\nHe gained about 11 kilograms and experienced a huge rise in unhealthy cholesterol and dramatic drop in his sex drive. \n\n\n\u201cEverything\u2019s bigger in America,\u201d he said in the film. \u201cWe\u2019ve got the biggest cars, the biggest houses, the biggest companies, the biggest food, and finally: the biggest people.\u201d \n\nIn one scene, Spurlock showed kids a photo of George Washington and none recognized the Founding Father. But they all instantly knew the mascots for Wendy\u2019s and McDonald\u2019s. \n\nThe film grossed more than $22 million on a $65,000 budget and preceded the release of Eric Schlosser\u2019s influential \u201cFast Food Nation,\u201d which accused the industry of being bad for the environment and rife with labor issues. \n\nSpurlock returned in 2017 with Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken ! \u2014 a sober look at an industry that processes 9 billion animals a year in America. He focused on two issues: chicken farmers stuck in a peculiar financial system and the attempt by fast-food chains to deceive customers into thinking they\u2019re eating healthier. \n\n\u201cWe\u2019re at an amazing moment in history from a consumer standpoint where consumers are starting to have more and more power,\u201d he told The Associated Press in 2019. \u201cIt\u2019s not about return for the shareholders. It\u2019s about return for the consumers.\u201d \n\nMoving the dial \n\nSpurlock was a gonzo-like filmmaker who leaned into the bizarre and ridiculous. His stylistic touches included zippy graphics and amusing music, blending a Michael Moore-ish camera-in-your-face style with his own sense of humor and pathos. \n\n\u201cI wanted to be able to lean into the serious moments. I wanted to be able to breathe in the moments of levity. We want to give you permission to laugh in the places where it\u2019s really hard to laugh,\u201d he told the AP. \n\nAfter he exposed the fast-food and chicken industries, there was an explosion in restaurants stressing freshness, artisanal methods, farm-to-table goodness and ethically sourced ingredients. But nutritionally not much had changed. \n\n\u201cThere has been this massive shift and people say to me, \u2018So has the food gotten healthier?\u2019 And I say, \u2018Well, the marketing sure has,\u2019\u201d he said. \n\nNot all his work dealt with food. Spurlock made documentaries about the boy band One Direction and the geeks and fanboys at Comic-Con. One of his films looked at life behind bars at the Henrico County Jail in Virginia. \n\nCrusading camera \n\nWith 2008's Where in the World is Osama bin Laden ? Spurlock went on a global search to find the al-Qaida leader, who was killed in 2011. In POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold , Spurlock tackled questions of product placement, marketing and advertising. \n\n\u201cBeing aware is half the battle, I think. Literally knowing all the time when you\u2019re being marketed to is a great thing,\u201d Spurlock told AP at the time. \u201cA lot of people don\u2019t realize it. They can\u2019t see the forest for the trees.\" \n\nSuper Size Me 2: Holy Chicken ! was to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in 2017 but it was shelved at the height of the #MeToo movement when Spurlock came forward to detail his own history of sexual misconduct. \n\nHe confessed that he had been accused of rape while in college and had settled a sexual harassment case with a female assistant. He also admitted to cheating on numerous partners. \u201cI am part of the problem,\u201d he wrote. \n\n\u201cFor me, there was a moment of kind of realization - as somebody who is a truth-teller and somebody who has made it a point of trying to do what\u2019s right - of recognizing that I could do better in my own life. We should be able to admit we were wrong,\u201d he told the AP. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>The US documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, who rose to worldwide fame after eating only fast food from McDonald's for a month, has died.

year\u2019s Atlantic hurricane season could bring as many as seven major hurricanes, US government forecasters have said. \n\nThe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is predicting above-normal hurricane activity in the Atlantic basin this year. It says there is an 85 per cent chance of an above-average season from June to November. \n\nA total of 17 to 25 named storms have been forecast. It is the highest number of storms the agency has ever projected in its season forecast, with 14 predicted in an average year. \n\nBetween 8 and 13 are likely to become hurricanes with windspeeds of 119 kilometres per hour or higher. \n\nUp to seven could become category three or above hurricanes with winds reaching 179 kilometres per hour or higher - normally there would be around three of these in a season. \n\nLast year's Hurricane Idalia - the costliest climate disaster to hit the US in 2023, leaving thousands homeless - was a category four with peak wind speeds of 215\u00a0km\/h. \n\nHurricane Ian which ripped through Cuba, Florida and the Carolinas in 2022, killing 161 people, was a category five storm with sustained windspeeds peaking at 260km\/h. \n\nForecasters say they have 70 per cent confidence in these ranges. \n\n\u201cThis season is looking to be an extraordinary one in a number of ways,\u201d NOAA administrator Rick Spinrad said at a press conference. \n\n\u201cAll the ingredients are definitely in place to have an active season,\u201d National Weather Service Director Ken Graham added. \n\n\u201cIt\u2019s a reason to be concerned, of course, but not alarmed.\u201d \n\nWhy will this year\u2019s Atlantic hurricane season be \u2018extraordinary\u2019? \n\nThe NOAA says a confluence of different factors is contributing to their prediction of an above-average hurricane season this year. \n\nThis includes near-record warm ocean temperatures in the Atlantic, the end of the strongest El Ni\u00f1o climate phenomenon ever observed and the developing La Ni\u00f1a in the Pacific as well as reduced Atlantic trade winds and less wind shear. \n\nTogether, these factors all tend to favour tropical storm formation in the Atlantic. Abundant ocean heat in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, for example, creates more fuel for the development of storms. \n\nThe agency says that this hurricane season has the potential for an above-normal West African monsoon, which can produce waves that seed some of the strongest and longest-lived hurricanes. \n\nWith human-caused climate change warming oceans around the world and melting ice on land, rising sea levels increase the risk of storm surges, too. \n\n\u201cSea level rise represents a clear human influence on the damage potential from a given hurricane,\u201d the NOAA says. \n\nEarlier this year, some scientists argued that a category six was now needed to account for the strength of climate-change induced hurricanes. \n\nWith studies showing tropical storms are becoming more intense, the traditional five-category Saffir-Simpson scale, developed more than 50 years ago, may not show the true power of the most muscular storms. \n\nFive monster storms in the Pacific since 2013 have had winds of 308 kilometres per hour or higher that would have put them in the new category. And though no Atlantic hurricane has reached this threshold yet, experts say as the world warms the environment for such a storm grows more conducive. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>This year\u2019s Atlantic hurricane season could bring as many as seven major hurricanes, US government forecasters have said.<\/p>\n<p>The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is predicting above-normal hurricane activity in the Atlantic basin this year.

Russia's UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia, who voted against the resolution, told the assembly the combined abstentions and \u201cno\u201d votes \u2014 87 \u2014 was more than the 84 votes in favour.

But we are not here today because Live Nation-Ticketmaster\u2019s conduct is inconvenient or frustrating. We are here because, as we allege, that conduct is anticompetitive and illegal.\u201d \n\nIn the complaint, the DoJ details that Live Nation controls at least 80% of primary ticketing at major concert venues, over 60% of concert promotions and large amphitheatres in the US. \n\nThey allege that the company Live Nation monopolises competition by forcing venues to agree to exclusivity agreements that cover 70% of concert ticket sales in the US. Thanks to these exclusive agreements, the company is then free to hike up prices through extraneous fees to the detriment of consumers. \n\nLive Nation merged with Ticketmaster in 2010 and quickly became a bogeyman in the music and events scene in the US for its infamously steep extra fees and dominance over the market. \n\nThe situation spilled into mainstream news when the Ticketmaster website buckled under huge demand for Taylor Swift tickets in 2022. As the website wasn\u2019t able to handle the surge in users, Ticketmaster cancelled one of the public sales for the billionaire singer\u2019s upcoming tour. \n\nAt the time, Swift criticised the platform: \u201cI'm not going to make excuses for anyone because we asked them, multiple times if they could handle this kind of demand and we were assured they could.\u201d \n\nThe uproar around the Swift ticket sale reignited interest from US lawmakers around the legality of the Live Nation-Ticketmaster merger. \n\n\u201cThe high fees, site disruptions and cancellations that customers experienced shows how Ticketmaster\u2019s dominant market position means the company does not face any pressure to continually innovate and improve,\u201d Senator Amy Klobuchar said. \n\nOver two dozen US fans filed a class action lawsuit against Live Nation following the breakdown in Swift ticket sales. \n\nTicketmaster also ran into difficulties during the Swift tour sale when it came to Europe. The French branch of the site stuttered to a halt as ticket sales were meant to begin in July last year. \n\nFans were first asked to pre-register their interest to receive a unique code that granted access to tickets in the city of their preference. But even with this system in place, the French Ticketmaster site crashed. \n\nLive Nation have responded to the US DoJ\u2019s legal action claiming that: \u201cIt ignores everything that is actually responsible for higher ticket prices, from rising production costs, to artist popularity, to 24\/7 online ticket scalping that reveals the public\u2019s willingness to pay far more than primary ticket prices.\u201d \n\nOn fees, the company claims it \u201cretains only a modest portion of those fees\u201d and that \u201cprimary ticketing is one of the least expensive digital distributions in the economy\u201d when compared with Twitch, the App Store, and Uber. \n\nThey claim they aren\u2019t running a monopoly and that the accusations are a result of the current administration's \u201cpopulist urge that simply rejects how antitrust law works\u201d. \u201cSome call this \u201cAnti-Monopoly\u201d, but in reality it is just anti-business,\u201d it adds. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>The Department of Justice (DoJ) has filed a civil complaint against entertainment giant Live Nation for illegally dominating the market in a way which has driven away competitors and led to consumers paying higher prices for worse services. <\/p>\n<div\n data-stories-id=\"7209468,7744502\"\n data-event=\"widget_related\"\n class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <ul class=\"widget__related_list\"><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2022//11//23//bad-blood-the-taylor-swift-ticketmaster-fiasco-gets-political/">Bad Blood: The Taylor Swift Ticketmaster fiasco gets political <\/a> <\/li><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2023//07//11//liberte-egalite-pas-de-taytay-taylor-swift-concert-ticket-sales-suspended-by-ticketmaster-/">Libert/u00e9, \u00c9galit\u00e9, Pas de TayTay: Taylor Swift concert ticket sales suspended by Ticketmaster France<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Attorney General Merrick Garland said: \u201cIn recent years, Live Nation-Ticketmaster\u2019s exorbitant fees and technological failures have been criticised by fans and artists alike.

Thanks to these exclusive agreements, the company is then free to hike up prices through extraneous fees to the detriment of consumers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-ease-in-up widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6667247083405885\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////static.euronews.com//articles//stories//08//45//66//06//808x539_cmsv2_3444d68f-5c5d-536f-9828-2b086909b3d9-8456606.jpg/" alt=\"Attorney General Merrick Garland speaks during a news conference at the Department of Justice headquarters in Washington, Thursday, May 23, 2024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/45\/66\/06\/384x256_cmsv2_3444d68f-5c5d-536f-9828-2b086909b3d9-8456606.jpg 384w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/45\/66\/06\/640x427_cmsv2_3444d68f-5c5d-536f-9828-2b086909b3d9-8456606.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/45\/66\/06\/750x500_cmsv2_3444d68f-5c5d-536f-9828-2b086909b3d9-8456606.jpg 750w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/45\/66\/06\/828x552_cmsv2_3444d68f-5c5d-536f-9828-2b086909b3d9-8456606.jpg 828w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/45\/66\/06\/1080x720_cmsv2_3444d68f-5c5d-536f-9828-2b086909b3d9-8456606.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/45\/66\/06\/1200x800_cmsv2_3444d68f-5c5d-536f-9828-2b086909b3d9-8456606.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/45\/66\/06\/1920x1280_cmsv2_3444d68f-5c5d-536f-9828-2b086909b3d9-8456606.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 95vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, (max-width: 1280px) 55vw, 728px\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">Attorney General Merrick Garland speaks during a news conference at the Department of Justice headquarters in Washington, Thursday, May 23, 2024<\/span>\n <span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Jose Luis Magana\/Copyright 2024 The AP.

In April, she filed a motion to release communications from Pitt\u2019s legal team requiring her to sign an \u201cexpansive\u201d NDA before being allowed to sell. \n\nPitt\u2019s lawyers reacted by asking the judge to compel Jolie to submit the NDAs she\u2019s signed in the past. Now, Jolie must release these NDAs within 60 days. \n\nThe team behind Pitt has claimed that these NDAs will strike a \u201csignificant blow to the credibility\u201d of Jolie\u2019s case and that she did act against her contractual obligations to Pitt when she sold the shares in winery to Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler. \n\nPotential repercussions for both sides \n\nHowever, there are questions as to whether releasing these NDAs could come back to bite Pitt. Jolie\u2019s lawyer Paul Murphy has said they are \u201cmore than happy to turn them over.\u201d \n\nHe continues that the ruling \u201copens the door to discovery on all issues related to Pitt\u2019s abuse.\u201d \n\nWhile this might seem like a simple business transaction between a divorced couple becoming unnecessarily personal, the rift between the two A-list actors is well publicised for Jolie\u2019s allegations of Pitt\u2019s physical and verbal abuse. \n\nThe pair made headlines when they started an affair on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith while Pitt was still married to Jennifer Anniston in 2005. Newly anointed as the Hollywood\u2019s power couple \u2018Brangelina\u2019, they married in Ch\u00e2teau Miraval in 2014, which they had originally leased in 2008 and bought that year. \n\nJolie and Pitt have six children together, three of whom were adopted. In 2016, the pair announced they were separated and Jolie filed for divorce. Their divorce was finalised in 2019. \n\nIn 2016, Jolie wanted to sell her shares of the winery but negotiations with Pitt broke down over his requirement she signed an NDA \u201cthat would have contractually prohibited her from speaking outside of court about Pitt\u2019s physical and emotional abuse of her and their children\u201d, she alleged. \n\nJolie filed a legal complaint against Pitt that described his physical and verbal abuse as the family travelled from France to California. \u201cPitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face\u201d and \u201cgrabbed Jolie by the head and shook her,\u201d wrote the complaint. \n\nIt seems that if Jolie is forced to release all the NDAs relating to the sale of the winery, it could include details of this alleged incident.

powerful tornado has swept through a wind farm in the United States, leaving a trail of crumpled power-producing towers in its wake. \n\nFive wind turbines were destroyed by the freak weather event, with one bursting into flames. \n\nVideo of the direct hit on the wind farm near Greenfield, Iowa, show the violent twister ripping through the countryside, uprooting trees, damaging buildings and sending dirt and debris high into the air. \n\nSeveral of the turbines at MidAmerican Energy Company's Orient wind farm recorded wind speeds of more than 100 mph as the tornadoes approached just before the turbines were destroyed, the company said in a statement. \n\n\u201cThis was an unprecedented impact on our wind fleet, and we have operated wind farms since 2004,\u201d MidAmerican said. \n\nIs it common for weather events to destroy wind turbines? \n\nWhile there have been isolated incidents of tornadoes or hurricanes damaging wind turbines, fortunately such occurrences are extremely rare, says Jason Ryan, a spokesperson for the American Clean Power Association. \n\nAlthough rules vary around the US on how far turbines must be placed from other structures, Ryan said the giant turbines are not placed directly next to homes and other occupied buildings. \n\nThere are currently nearly 73,000 wind turbines in operation across the country, he said. Many of those operate in the center of the country, often referred to as the wind belt, which stretches from Texas north through Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas, and includes large swaths of Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois. \n\nMany of those same states are also prone to tornadoes , especially during the spring, including a portion of the Central Plains extending from the Dakotas south into Oklahoma and Texas, says Jennifer Thompson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Norman, Oklahoma. \n\nHow do wind turbine designers account for extreme weather? \n\n\nWind turbines are built to withstand high wind speeds and severe weather, like tornadoes, hurricanes and lightning strikes, but few structures are designed to withstand a direct hit from a powerful tornado, says Sri Sritharan, an engineering professor at Iowa State University who has studied the impact of earthquakes and severe weather on structures. \n\n\u201cWhen you do a design, you don't design something that can withstand an EF4 or EF5 tornado,\u201d Sritharan said. \n\nWind turbines are designed to meet industry standards for structural integrity that includes factors like wind speed, and it's possible that design code committees will consider the impact of Tuesday's tornado strikes in the future, he said. \n\n\u201cI would think they would look at this event and how they should update the standards,\u201d Sritharan said. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>A powerful tornado has swept through a wind farm in the United States, leaving a trail of crumpled power-producing towers in its

Diddy and Puff Daddy, has admitted that he beat his former girlfriend, Cassie, in a hotel hallway in 2016 after CNN released video footage of the attack. \n\nIn a video statement posted to Instagram and Facebook, the Grammy Award-winning star said he was \u201cdisgusted\u201d by his own behaviour. \n\n\u201cI take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I was disgusted then when I did it. I\u2019m disgusted now,\u201d he said. \n\nThe security video, which aired Friday, sees Combs \u2013 clad solely in a white towel \u2013 chasing and assaulting his then longtime girlfriend Cassie. The footage shows Combs throwing to the ground and kicking Cassie, who is an R&B star, as well as dragging her down the corridor and throwing what appears to be a vase. \n\nCassie, whose legal name is Cassandra Ventura, sued Combs last November over what she called years of sexual, physical and emotional abuse. The suit was settled the next day but prompted intense scrutiny of Combs\u2019s conduct.\u00a0 \n\nA number of lawsuits were filed in the following months, including accusations of sexual assault by a music producer , along with a federal criminal sex-trafficking investigation that led authorities to raid Combs\u2019 mansions in Los Angeles and Miami. \n\nIn December, after Ventura and at least three other women had filed lawsuits against him, Combs posted a statement on Instagram denying the allegations against him. \n\n\u201cLet me be absolutely clear. I did not do any of the awful things being alleged,\u201d that post said. \n\nNeither he nor his representatives had responded to the incriminating newly released video until Sunday. \n\n\u201cIt\u2019s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that,\u201d Diddy said in Sunday\u2019s video statement, a sombre expression on his face. \n\n\u201cI went and I sought out professional help. I got into going to therapy, going to rehab,\u201d he added. \u201cI had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I\u2019m so sorry. But I\u2019m committed to be a better man each and every day. I\u2019m not asking for forgiveness. I\u2019m truly sorry.\u201d \n\nNot everyone was so convinced by Combs\u2019s apparent remorse, however. \n\nMeredith Firetog, who represents Ventura and other women who have sued Combs, claimed the apology was \u201cmore about himself than the many people he has hurt.\u201d \n\n\u201cWhen Cassie and multiple other women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday,\u201d the lawyer said in a statement. \u201cThat he was only compelled to \u2018apologize\u2019 once his repeated denials were proven false shows his pathetic desperation, and no one will be swayed by his disingenuous words.\u201d \n\nIn spite of his recent admission of guilt, Combs is not in danger of criminal prosecution for the assault on his ex-girlfriend. The statutes of limitations for the assault and battery charges he would be likely to face expired years ago. \n\nThe same is true of many of the allegations in the lawsuits, but federal investigators following Combs are likely looking for potential crimes they can bring under the law. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>American music mogul Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs, formerly known as P.

She was always laughing - even while corralling misbehaving preschoolers or debating politics with friends. In school, she was a soprano in the chorus. \n\nThen, overnight, that voice was gone. \n\nIn August last year, doctors removed a tumour lodged near the back of her brain. When the breathing tube came out a month later, Bogan had trouble swallowing and strained to say \"hi\" to her parents. \n\nMonths of rehabilitation aided her recovery, but her speech is still impaired. Friends, strangers and her own family members struggle to understand what she is trying to tell them. \n\nIn April, the 21-year-old got her old voice back. Not the real one, but a voice clone generated by artificial intelligence (AI) tech from ChatGPT maker OpenAI that she can summon from a phone app. \n\nWeariness over AI deepfakes \n\nTrained on a 15-second time capsule of her teenage voice - sourced from a cooking demonstration video she recorded for a school project - her synthetic but remarkably real-sounding AI voice can now say almost anything she wants. \n\nShe types a few words or sentences into her phone and the app instantly reads it aloud. \n\n\"Hi, can I please get a grande iced brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso,\" said Bogan\u2019s AI voice as she held the phone out her car\u2019s window at a Starbucks drive-thru. \n\nExperts have warned that rapidly improving AI voice-cloning technology can amplify phone scams, disrupt democratic elections and violate the dignity of people - living or dead - who never consented to having their voice recreated to say things they never spoke. \n\nIt's been used to produce deepfake robocalls to New Hampshire voters mimicking US president Joe Biden. \n\nIn the US state of Maryland, authorities recently charged a high school athletic director with using AI to generate a fake audio clip of the school's headteacher making racist remarks. \n\nBut Bogan and a team of doctors at Rhode Island's Lifespan hospital group believe they've found a use that justifies the risks. \n\nRecreating lost voices \n\nBogan is one of the first people - the only one with her condition - who have been able to recreate a lost voice with OpenAI's new Voice Engine . \n\nSome other AI providers, such as the startup ElevenLabs, have tested similar technology for people with speech impediments and loss - including a lawyer who now uses her voice clone in the courtroom. \n\n\"We\u2019re hoping Lexi's a trailblazer as the technology develops,\" said Dr. Rohaid Ali, a neurosurgery resident at Brown University's medical school and Rhode Island Hospital. \n\nMillions of people with debilitating strokes, throat cancer, or neurogenerative diseases could benefit, he said. \n\n\"We should be conscious of the risks, but we can\u2019t forget about the patient and the social good,\" said Dr Fatima Mirza, another resident working on the pilot. \"We\u2019re able to help give Lexi back her true voice and she\u2019s able to speak in terms that are the most true to herself\". \n\nMirza and Ali, who are married, caught the attention of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI because of their previous research project at Lifespan using the AI chatbot to simplify medical consent forms for patients. \n\nThe San Francisco company reached out while on the hunt earlier this year for promising medical applications for its new AI voice generator. \n\nSlow recovery \n\nBogan was still slowly recovering from surgery. \n\nThe illness started last summer with headaches, blurry vision and a droopy face, alarming doctors at Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence. \n\nThey discovered a vascular tumour the size of a golf ball pressing on her brain stem and entangled in blood vessels and cranial nerves. \n\n\"It was a battle to get control of the bleeding and get the tumour out,\" said pediatric neurosurgeon Dr Konstantina Svokos. \n\nThe tumour's location and severity coupled with the complexity of the 10-hour surgery damaged Bogan's control of her tongue muscles and vocal cords, impeding her ability to eat and talk, Svokos said. \n\n\"It\u2019s almost like a part of my identity was taken when I lost my voice,\" Bogan said. \n\nThe feeding tube came out this year. Speech therapy continues, enabling her to speak intelligibly in a quiet room but with no sign she will recover the full lucidity of her natural voice. \n\n\"At some point, I was starting to forget what I sounded like,\" Bogan said. \"I've been getting so used to how I sound now\". \n\n'Training' AI on how to speak \n\nWhenever the phone rang at the family's home in the Providence suburb of North Smithfield, she would push it over to her mother to take her calls. \n\nShe felt she was burdening her friends whenever they went to a noisy restaurant. Her dad, who has hearing loss, struggled to understand her. \n\nBack at the hospital, doctors were looking for a pilot patient to experiment with OpenAI's technology. \n\n\"The first person that came to Dr Svokos' mind was Lexi,\" Ali said. \"We reached out to Lexi to see if she would be interested, not knowing what her response would be. She was game to try it out and see how it would work\". \n\nBogan had to go back a few years to find a suitable recording of her voice to \"train\" the AI system on how she spoke. It was a video in which she explained how to make a pasta salad. \n\nHer doctors intentionally fed the AI system just a 15-second clip. Cooking sounds make other parts of the video imperfect. It was also all that OpenAI needed - an improvement over previous technology requiring much lengthier samples. \n\nThey also knew that getting something useful out of 15 seconds could be vital for any future patients who have no trace of their voice on the internet. A brief voicemail left for a relative might have to suffice. \n\n'I get so emotional every time I hear her voice' \n\nWhen they tested it for the first time, everyone was stunned by the quality of the voice clone.

total carbon emissions have risen by almost 30 per cent since 2020, according to the company\u2019s annual Environmental Sustainability Report released on Wednesday. \n\nWhile its direct emissions and energy use dropped by more than 6 per cent, its indirect emissions set it back. With the company being a cloud supplier, the construction of more data centres was the main cause. \n\nMicrosoft highlighted the need for collaboration across industries to develop and use greener building materials, like concrete and steel, and hardware components, like chips, to help reach its goal of becoming carbon negative by 2030. \n\nWhat are data centres? \n\nData centres are buildings that store the powerful computers and hardware needed to run IT services and applications securely. \n\nCloud services providers like Microsoft operate huge data centres with multiple buildings that serve billions of users worldwide. Information is stored, processed and disseminated by the servers they house. \n\nEurope is a major hub for data centres: Germany is home to 522 of them - the second largest number after the US - while the UK comes in third with 517 and France in sixth with 314. \n\nWhile it is more efficient for companies to store their data in a shared centre rather than operating their own, these buildings are highly energy intensive. They rely on a continuous power supply and water-intensive cooling systems to keep the equipment functioning properly. This is not helped by the fact that many data centres are built in drought-stricken desert locations. \n\nThis is especially problematic when this energy is sourced from fossil fuels . \n\nAdding to this, data centre workloads are continually increasing - particularly with the surging demand for data storage and processing associated with artificial intelligence . The UK\u2019s National Grid recently predicted that the boom in AI and quantum computing will increase data centre power use six-fold in the next decade. \n\nHow is Microsoft mitigating the impact of its data centres? \n\nMicrosoft aims to source 100 per cent of its electricity from \u201c carbon-free \u201d sources by 2030, including for delivered goods and services, it states in the report. \n\nEarlier this month, Microsoft signed a deal with Canadian investment management company Brookfield to contract 10.5 gigawatts of renewable energy worldwide in one of the single largest corporate power purchase agreements ever signed. \n\nThe company has also invested heavily in controversial carbon removal and storage, signing a deal with Sweden\u2019s Stockholm Exergi to remove 3.3 million tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere in the biggest deal of its kind to date. \n\nAs well as greening its energy supplies, Microsoft is working to improve efficiency in its data centres. It says AI will play an important role in helping to increase accountability and achieve technology breakthroughs - which it hopes will extend to developing greener steel, concrete and fuels, as well as reducing water usage. The company says its new data centres will consume zero water for cooling. \n\nIt will also use its purchasing power to accelerate demand for greener building and energy supplies , while advocating for policy changes that will help the climate. \n\nAdvancing circular hardware is on the agenda, too, as demand for cloud services continues to grow. Last year, Microsoft says it reused or recycled almost 90 per cent of its servers and components. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Microsoft\u2019s total carbon emissions have risen by almost 30 per cent since 2020, according to the company\u2019s annual Environmental Sustainability Report released on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>While its direct emissions and energy use dropped by more than 6 per cent, its indirect emissions set it back.

More than half of the participants lived in the fire perimeter area. \n\nA report with early results from the study was released this week. Participants answer questions about their health and have data collected. \n\nThe study found that\u00a0nearly half of the participants had \"signs of mild\u00a0to severe lung obstruction,\" and 39 per cent had compromised lung function. \n\nResearchers hope to enrol 2,000 people in the study to have a snapshot of the estimated 10,000 people affected by the fires. \n\nAccess to medical care \n\nThe report found that more than four in 10 people had trouble accessing medical care compared to one in ten before the fires. \n\nSome study participants said they were not able to get medical care because clinics had burned down or because they prioritised getting housing, jobs, and food after the disaster. \n\nDr Alika Maunakea, one of the researchers and a professor at the university's John A. Burns School of Medicine, said those who reported higher exposure to the wildfire tended to have more symptoms. \n\nMaunakea urged people exposed to the wildfires to get checked. \n\n\"There might be some problems that might manifest in the future,\" he said. \"Please see your doctor. Just pay more attention to your health because of this\". \n\nThey also found disparities in health insurance coverage with more than 13 per cent of participants uninsured. \n\nTwo-thirds of study participants lived in Lahaina at the time of the fires. Roughly half of the study participants reported daily or weekly exposure to smoke, ash, or debris. \n\nThe wildfire started on August 8, 2023, and killed at least 101 people, making it the deadliest wildfire in the US in more than a century. It burned thousands of buildings, displaced 12,000 residents and destroyed the historic town on Maui. \n\nThe survey found an increase in depression compared to before the fires as well, with more than half of participants showing symptoms. \n\nRoughly 30 per cent of study participants reported symptoms of moderate to severe anxiety. \n\n'Important work' \n\nDr Gopal Allada, an associate professor of medicine specialising in pulmonary and critical care at the Oregon Science & Health University who wasn't involved in the research, said it would have been great if the study participants had undergone similar lung function tests before the fire. \n\nBut he acknowledged that wasn't possible, as is often the case in similar studies. \n\nHe hopes the researchers will get funding to continue their research over time. \n\nAllada noted most scientific studies on the health effects of wildfires have focused on what happens to people in the days and the week of exposure and less is known about the long-term effects. \n\nHe commended the researchers for showing there is a problem, and for collecting data that could influence policymakers. \n\n\"This is important work that hopefully influences policymakers and people who control budgets and where trainees train and that sort of thing,\" he said. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>How did deadly wildfires in Hawaii last year impact people's health?<\/p>\n<p>A new study found that nearly half of people in Maui affected by the fires \"experienced a decline in health,\" compared to a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>Roughly 74 per cent of study participants had poor respiratory health or\u00a0elevated risk for cardiovascular disease due to hypertension.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The University of Hawaii study looked at 679 people as part of ongoing research into the impact of the fires on health.

On the notification received, users can tap \"Play Sound\" to help them locate the tracker. \n\nSome Bluetooth devices will let the user find out more about who it belongs to. The EFF guide suggests holding an Apple AirTag to the back of a phone to get the serial information along with the four last digits of a phone number. \n\nThe EFF also suggests contacting authorities or removing the battery to disable the tracker if and when a user believes it is safe for them to do so. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>If an \"[Item] Found Moving With You\" alert pops up on your phone with a

animal organs into humans, has been seen as a potential solution for the lack of available organs for transplant. \n\nIn the eight EU countries that are members of the Eurotransplant organisation, for

He had a kidney transplant from a human donor in 2018. \n\nFive years after his kidney transplant, he had to resume dialysis - which helps to clear waste from patients' bloodstream. \n\nComplications, however, required frequent trips to the hospital which impacted his quality of life. \n\n\u201cAfter his transplant, Rick said that one of the reasons he underwent this procedure was to provide hope for the thousands of people who need a transplant to survive,\u201d his family added in a statement published by Massachusetts General Hospital. \n\n\u201cRick accomplished that goal and his hope and optimism will endure forever.

In 2009, Corman received an honorary Academy Award for his work. \n\n\u201cThere are many constraints connected with working on a low budget, but at the same time there are certain opportunities,\u201d Corman said in a 2007 documentary. \n\n\u201cYou can gamble a little bit more. You can experiment. You have to find a more creative way to solve a problem or to present a concept,\" he said. \n\nA remarkable judge of talent \n\nOn top of his own work, Corman helped launch the careers of other Hollywood legends, hiring aspiring filmmakers like Francis Ford Coppola, Ron Howard, James Cameron and Martin Scorsese as directors on his films. \n\nJack Nicholson made his film debut as the title character in Corman\u2019s 1958 short film The Cry Baby Killer . Other actors whose careers began in Corman films included Robert de Niro, Bruce Dern and Ellen Burstyn. \n\nPeter Fonda\u2019s appearance in The Wild Angels was a precursor to his own landmark biker movie, Easy Rider , co-starring Nicholson and fellow Corman alumnus Dennis Hopper. \n\n\u201cBoxcar Bertha,\u201d starring Barbara Hershey and David Carradine, was an early film by Scorsese. \n\nDespite his penny-pinching ways, Corman retained good relations with his directors, boasting that he never fired one because \u201cI wouldn't want to inflict that humiliation.\u201d \n\nSome of his former underlings repaid his kindness years later. Coppola cast him in The Godfather, Part II , Jonathan Demme included him in The Silence of the Lambs and Philadelphia and Howard gave him a part in Apollo 13 . \n\nShoestring budgets, movie magic \n\nCorman was famous for making memorable films that strictly stuck to miniscule budgets and tight production schedules. His B-movie directors were often told to finish their films in as little as five days. \n\nOscar-winning director Ron Howard found this out the hard way, when he pleaded with Corman for an extra half day to reshoot a scene for his 1977\u2019s Grand Theft Auto , his directorial debut. \n\nCorman told him: \u201cRon, you can come back if you want, but nobody else will be here.\u201d \n\nInitially only drive-ins and specialty theatres would book Corman films, but as teenagers began turning out, national chains gave in. Corman\u2019s pictures were open for their time about sex and drugs, such as his 1967 release The Trip , an explicit story about LSD written by Nicholson and starring Fonda and Hopper. \n\nMost of Corman's movies were quickly forgotten by all but die-hard fans. A rare exception was 1960's Little Shop of Horrors , which starred a bloodthirsty plant that feasted on humans and featured Nicholson in a small but memorable role as a pain-loving dental patient. \n\nIt inspired a long-lasting stage musical and a 1986 musical adaptation starring Steve Martin, Bill Murray and John Candy. \n\nIn 1963, Corman initiated a series of films based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. The most notable was The Raven , which teamed Nicholson with veteran horror stars Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre and Basil Rathbone. \n\nDirected by Corman on a rare three-week schedule, the horror spoof won good reviews, a rarity for his films. Another Poe adaptation, House of Usher , was deemed worthy of preservation by the Library of Congress. \n\nCorman's Poe series has been cited by many contemporary filmmakers as influencing them when they were growing up. \n\nA \u2018visionary\u2019 who \u2018changed the course of film history\u2019 \n\nIndustry professionals whose lives Corman touched paid tribute to him over the weekend, sharing their memories of the producer. \n\n\u201cRoger Corman was my very first boss, my lifetime mentor and my hero. Roger was one of the greatest visionaries in the history of cinema,\u201d Gale Ann Hurd, whose notable producing credits include the Terminator film franchise, The Abyss and \u201cThe Walking Dead\u201d television series, said in a post on X. \n\n\u201cA passionate and indefatigable lover of cinema for more than half a century, Corman's influence and support of artists changed the course [of] film history, and can be felt in everything from B-movies and exploitation flicks to art-house classics,\u201d the Criterion Collection posted on X. \n\n\u201cIt was my privilege to know him. He was a great friend. He shaped my childhood with science fiction movies and Edgar Allen Poe epics,\u201d John Carpenter, director of Halloween , The Thing and other classic horror and action films, said on X. \u201cI\u2019ll miss you, Roger.\u201d \n\nWriter and producer Larry Karaszewski, known for Ed Wood and The People vs. Larry Flynt , said in a post on X: \u201cModern American cinema begins with Roger Corman. Without him we would not have Coppola, Scorsese, Bogdanovich, Nicholson, Demme and countless others. My film school was a drive in theater in the 1970s and Roger Corman was the Dean.\u201d \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Roger Corman, the Hollywood producer and director also known as the \u201cKing of the Bs\u201d has died aged 98.<\/p>\n<p>Corman was known affectionately by fans and industry professionals as the \u201cKing of the Bs,\u201d for his role in bringing to life low-budget classics like Little Shop of Horrors and Attack of the Crab Monsters. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was generous, open-hearted and kind to all those who knew him,\u201d his family said in a statement released on Saturday. \u201cWhen asked how he would like to be remembered, he said, \u2018I was a filmmaker, just that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<div\n data-stories-id=\"8427928,8424640\"\n data-event=\"widget_related\"\n class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <ul class=\"widget__related_list\"><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2024//05//10//cannes-film-festival-reportedly-bracing-for-bombshell-metoo-accusations/">Cannes Film Festival reportedly bracing for bombshell #MeToo accusations<\/a> <\/li><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2024//05//09//legendary-french-actress-isabelle-huppert-to-lead-2024-venice-film-festival-jury/">Legendary French actress Isabelle Huppert to lead 2024 Venice Film Festival jury<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Since his career began in 1955, Corman helped create hundreds of B-movies as a producer and director \u2013 his filmography includes 2001\u2019s <em>Black Scorpion<\/em>, 1959\u2019s <em>A Bucket of Blood<\/em> and 1970\u2019s <em>Bloody Mama<\/em>.

Musk predicts that artificial intelligence (AI) will soon surpass human intelligence, becoming so ubiquitous that \"intelligence that is biological will be less than 1 per cent\". \n\nThe billionaire behind SpaceX, Neurolink, and Tesla, and the owner of the social media X, made the comments during an on-stage appearance on Thursday at the 27th annual Global Conference organised by the Milken Institute. \n\nAnswering questions from the audience on topics including AI, he responded that \"AI might be the most important question of all\". \n\n\"The percentage of intelligence that is biological grows smaller with each passing month. Eventually, the percentage of intelligence that is biological will be less than 1 per cent,\" Musk said.\u00a0 \n\nMusk did not appear to envisage how long this will take. For the moment, AI has a lot of shortcomings and still requires human assistance, or the other way around. \n\n\"Biological intelligence can serve as a backstop, as a buffer of intelligence. But in percentage, almost all intelligence will be digital,\" he added. \n\nHere are some of Musk\u2019s other takes on topics that arose in discussion with controversial financier Michael Milken, the chairman at the eponymous institute. \n\nOn space exploration \n\nGiven his role in founding and leading SpaceX, Musk was understandably asked about space. \n\n\"We want to make science fiction, not fiction forever. Let\u2019s make life multi-planetary and a space-bearing civilisation, be out there among the stars,\" he said adding that he was looking forward to \"inspiring\" space exploration programs.\u00a0 \n\nSpaceX achieved major advances in the last years such as having the first commercial spacecraft to deliver cargo to the ISS with the Dragon capsule in 2012. \n\nIn 2015, it developed the first recoverable first-stage booster for an orbital mission that drastically reduced launch costs by enabling the reuse of expensive rocket parts. \n\nOn regulations \n\n\"Year after year, there are more laws and regulations passed and more regulatory bodies created. Eventually, everything will be illegal,\" Musk said in regard to innovation, adding that you needed a \"garbage collection process\" for rules and regulations.\u00a0 \n\nThis appears in contrast to his previous approach to AI regulation, however. Musk was among the signatories of an open letter calling for a \"pause\" in AI development in early 2023.\u00a0 \n\nMusk stood by his prior position at the UK AI Safety Summit in late 2023, stating that \"having a referee is a good thing\" to reduce potential risks.\u00a0 \n\nOn Starlink \n\n\"I think Starlink will actually move the GDP of countries,\" Musk also added regarding his Starlink technology, a large network of satellites launched by SpaceX that provide Internet access to remote locations around the world. \n\nMusk\u2019s logic is that Internet connections provide people with knowledge and a means to distribute services and products. \n\nDuring Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine , Starlink went on to become a key technology for sharing information and communications.\u00a0 \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Elon Musk predicts that artificial intelligence (AI) will soon surpass human intelligence, becoming so ubiquitous that \"intelligence that is biological will be less than 1 per cent\".<\/p>\n<p>The billionaire behind SpaceX, Neurolink, and Tesla, and the owner of the social media X, made the comments during an on-stage appearance on Thursday at the 27th annual Global Conference organised by the Milken Institute.<\/p>\n<p>Answering questions from the audience on topics including AI, he responded that \"AI might be the most important question of all\".<\/p>\n<div\n data-stories-id=\"7659914\"\n data-event=\"widget_related\"\n class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <ul class=\"widget__related_list\"><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//next//2023//06//20//hold-off-from-having-kids-if-you-are-yet-to-become-a-parent-warns-ai-expert-mo-gawdat/">'Hold off from having kids if you are yet to become a parent,' warns AI expert Mo Gawdat<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\"The percentage of intelligence that is biological grows smaller with each passing month.

UN General Assembly voted by a wide margin on Friday to grant Palestine new \u201crights and privileges\u201d and called on the Security Council to favourably reconsider its request to become the 194th member of the United Nations. \n\nThe 193-member world body approved the Arab and Palestinian-sponsored resolution by a vote of 143-9 with 25 abstentions. \n\nThe United States vetoed a widely backed council resolution on April 18 that would have paved the way for full United Nations membership for Palestine, a goal the Palestinians have long sought and Israel has worked to prevent. \n\nUS Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood made clear on Thursday that the Biden administration opposed the assembly resolution. The US was among the nine countries voting against it, along with Israel. \n\n\u201cWe\u2019ve been very clear from the beginning there is a process for obtaining full membership in the United Nations, and this effort by some of the Arab countries and the Palestinians is to try to go around that,\u201d Wood said Thursday. \n\n\u201cWe have said from the beginning the best way to ensure Palestinian full membership in the UN is to do that through negotiations with Israel.
