Most adult creators use AI in their work, new data says

Mashable - Thu, 09/05/2024 - 06:17

Adult industries are often the first to embrace new technology, from VR porn to cyber brothels. According to preliminary data from industry research firm SWR Data, nearly two-thirds — 62 percent — of adult content creators now use artificial intelligence tools to expand or run their business.

Most creators who use it, 80 percent, do so for content or shooting inspiration, in a survey of over 400 working adult content creators conducted in July and August. Twenty-eight percent have used AI to generate content, while 18 percent have used it to chat with their fans. Only eight percent, however, have used AI to create "digital twins" or other interactive AI versions of themselves.

Nearly the same amount of adult creators see AI as a positive or negative, 36 and 37 percent respectively. Those who use it unsurprisingly are more likely to feel positively about AI.

Co-founder of SWR Data, MelRose Michaels, said in a press release that the data counters a lot of the narrative around AI and adult creators.

"There's so much money being invested in adult AI right now, and platforms would do better to understand that creators are more interested in an extra set of hands than they are a sixth finger," Michaels continued, referring to the classic tell of when something is AI generated by checking for deformed hands. "We're seeing some really compelling data as to who is using AI and how they're using it."

This data is part of a larger "State of the Creator" study on adult content creators that will be released this fall.

How much would it really cost to watch every NFL game on TV?

Mashable - Thu, 09/05/2024 - 05:30

The NFL kicks off its 2024 season on Thursday, and if there's one thing the league can count on, it's that millions of Americans will be tuning in.

The NFL is the single most popular TV product in America. And it's not even remotely close. To wit: Of the 100 most-watched TV broadcasts in 2023, 93 were NFL games. In fact, the entire Top 20 consisted of NFL broadcasts, with only the State of the Union address keeping the NFL from sweeping the Top 50. When the NFL is on, millions of Americans watch — it's as certain as death and taxes.

Both the NFL and its broadcast partners are well aware of this. And if you're a fan, you've likely felt it in your wallet. With the rise of streaming, the NFL has spread its broadcast rights across multiple platforms. Here's the list of channels, networks, and streaming services that have exclusive rights to NFL games in 2024:

  • CBS

  • FOX

  • NBC

  • ABC

  • Peacock

  • NFL Network

  • Amazon Prime

  • ESPN

  • ESPN+

  • Netflix

  • YouTube TV

That's nearly an NFL property for every major broadcaster — Apple narrowly missed out, and while HBO has Hard Knocks, it doesn't air any games.

To be clear, most fans don’t watch every NFL game. They’ll tune in for their favorite team, the primetime matchups, and the occasional random games. But what if someone wanted to watch every single NFL game? Or, more realistically, what if most fans at least wanted the option to watch any game they choose? The cost is staggering.

By my calculations, it would run you at least $891.36. That's a hefty price to pay for watching football from your couch, but plenty of Americans will gladly pay it.

SEE ALSO: How to watch the NFL online for free What channels are different NFL games on?

Let’s take a step back and break down which games air on which broadcaster. The NFL has cleverly sliced and diced its broadcast rights to maximize profits. New players like Netflix or Prime are willing to shell out billions to get a piece of the NFL pie, while the league’s longstanding partners aren’t likely to complain — after all, the NFL holds all the leverage.

Here’s how the NFL’s broadcast rights are divided among various broadcasters for the 2024-25 season. And just to be clear, we’re not including preseason games here because, well, those don’t really count.

CBS

CBS and, in turn, Paramount+ is the home of the AFC. On any given NFL Sunday you'll get either a local team's game, a national game, or some combination of both in the 1 p.m. ET and 4 p.m. window. The AFC playoff and championship games will also be on CBS.

FOX

FOX is essentially CBS but for the NFC. This is common knowledge for NFL fans and has been engraved in their heads for years.

NBC

The marquee Sunday Night Football match-ups air on NBC, which has become a prime destination for the NFL's biggest games each week. NBC will also broadcast the season opener this Thursday and one of the Thanksgiving Day games — but it’s worth noting that these aren’t technically part of the Thursday Night Football package.

Peacock

NBC's streaming service, Peacock, will also feature an exclusive game this year: Friday's matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers, which will be played in Brazil.

NFL Network

Four separate international games will air on NFL Network, as will a number of yet-to-be-decided Saturday games later in the season.

Amazon Prime

Prime will broadcast Thursday Night Football in Weeks 2-17 and exclusively stream a playoff game.

ABC/ESPN

ESPN holds the rights to Monday Night Football. Some games also air on ABC, and some weeks, there are double headers with one game airing on each channel.

ESPN+

This year, ESPN's premium streaming service will also have its own exclusive game. The Week 7 match-up between the Los Angeles Chargers and Arizona Cardinals will be available only on ESPN+.

Netflix

Netflix has NFL games this season, too. It'll exclusively air two games on Christmas.

YouTube TV

YouTube TV has the rights to NFL Sunday Ticket, which is the primary way to get access to out-of-market, non-primetime games.

How much does all that cost?

Roughly speaking, the total comes to $891.36. To arrive at that figure, I had to make a few assumptions. I started from scratch, assuming our hypothetical NFL fan didn’t have a cable package, any existing streaming subscriptions, or shared accounts — no mooching off someone else's Netflix. I also only accounted for the cost from the NFL regular season kickoff in September through the Super Bowl in February.

Given those assumptions, the most cost-effective option to access most NFL games is YouTube TV. The key reason is that YouTube TV holds the exclusive rights to NFL Sunday Ticket, which gives you access to most non-primetime games that aren't broadcasted on your local FOX or CBS affiliate. So, it's a must-have for serious fans. YouTube TV offers a Sunday Ticket deal that costs four payments of $158.99 ($94.75 for the NFL Sunday Ticket and $64.24 for the YouTube TV base plan) for the first four months, then $72.99 per month for the YouTube TV subscription going forward.

Assuming you sign up at the optimal time in September, your total would add up to $781.94 to get you through the Super Bowl. The good news is that YouTube TV, along with having exclusive access to Sunday Ticket, includes most of the channels you'll need for NFL coverage — CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC, ESPN, and the NFL Network are all part of the base package.

That leaves you needing Amazon Prime, Netflix, Peacock, and ESPN+. Estimating the exact cost for these services is tricky because a user could, in theory, take advantage of free trials. However, they might forget to cancel them. For simplicity's sake, I assumed our fan paid for a month’s subscription for each service during the months the platform had at least one NFL game. I also assumed they were canceled as soon as the games ended. Based on this, you’d need five months of Prime ($74.95), one month of Netflix ($15.49), one month of Peacock ($7.99), and one month of ESPN+ ($10.99).

Adding these to YouTube TV's Sunday Ticket costs brings the total to $891.36. Including playoffs, there is a combined total of 285 games in an NFL season. That means each game costs about $3.13, though, of course, you can't purchase the broadcast for single games.

Of course, your actual cost could be higher or lower. Few people lack any of these services entirely, and many might have access to a shared password or two. But if you're already a cable subscriber — perhaps because of a bundle that includes internet — you could pay even more since you'd still need Sunday Ticket via YouTube. But, to be clear, there are far more reasonable options than shelling out nearly a grand to watch the NFL on TV. A service like Sling Orange, for instance, could get you ESPN and your local CBS/FOX affiliate stations for $40 per month. You could also sign up for Sling Blue, which comes with NFL Network and then you can upgrade to pay $51 per month to also include RedZone.

But still, being an absolutely diehard NFL fan doesn't come cheap. $891.36 is a hefty chunk of change to watch every game, but when you consider that the average ticket to see a game live in 2023 was around $370, maybe watching from home isn't such a bad deal after all.

Webb telescope has answers for an actual question mark in space

Mashable - Thu, 09/05/2024 - 05:00

Did the cosmos just hand us a meme that encapsulates our feelings about the universe and our place within it? 

At times it seems as though astronomers will forever find enigmas about space without ever providing satisfying answers. But in this case, the James Webb Space Telescope has found a riddle in the sky, and scientists can actually give us an explanation for it. Webb, an infrared telescope built by NASA and its European and Canadian counterparts, captured this image of galaxy cluster MACS-J0417.5-1154. It looks like a literal question mark. 

That's because massive celestial objects are warping the fabric of spacetime and distorting galaxies in the background, playing tricks like a funhouse mirror. The effect is caused by a quirk of nature known as gravitational lensing, a phenomenon predicted in Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. 

"These galaxies, seen billions of years ago when star formation was at its peak, are similar to the mass that the Milky Way galaxy would have been at that time," said Marcin Sawicki, an astronomer at Saint Mary’s University in Nova Scotia, in a statement. "Webb is allowing us to study what the teenage years of our own galaxy would have been like."

SEE ALSO: Scientists haven't found a rocky exoplanet with air. But now they have a plan. The question mark is actually five copies of the galaxy pair, four of which make the top of the question mark.

The image shows two distant interacting galaxies: one a face-on spiral; the other dusty red in side view. They appear multiple times, with the dusty red galaxy forming the arc of the question-mark shape. 

To explain how gravitational lensing works, astronomers start with the analogy of a bowling ball placed on a foam mattress or trampoline. This depicts how the fabric of spacetime bends around massive celestial objects. Light that would otherwise travel straight gets distorted as it passes through the warped spacetime.

In this case, the galaxy cluster is acting like a colossal magnifying glass. The perk of that extra prescription strength is its ability to extend the view of Webb to see even earlier galaxies.

Astronomers are now familiar with spotting the telltale signs of gravitational lensing, but that wasn't always the case. In 1987, an enormous blue arc thought to be hundreds of trillions of miles long was at first considered one of the largest objects ever detected in space. The arc was found near the galaxy cluster Abell 370, with another similar object near galaxy cluster 2242-02. 

Later that year, scientists at Stanford University and the National Optical Astronomy Observatory in Arizona sorted out that these objects were, in fact, optical illusions, distorted by Abell 370. The New York Times published a story about the "bizarre" implication of Einstein's theory, titled "Vast Cosmic Object Downgraded to a Mirage."

"Webb is allowing us to study what the teenage years of our own galaxy would have been like."

The lensing in this new Webb image allows scientists to pinpoint star formation, using infrared data from the observatory, coupled with ultraviolet data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Hubble has previously observed this region, but murky cosmic dust prevented it from detecting the dusty red galaxy. 

With Webb, the galaxy's longer wavelengths of light were picked up. The team's findings, a sort of case study for Webb's ability to detect star formation within a galaxy billions of light-years away, is published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

The Hubble Space Telescope viewed this region of space, left, but the dusty red galaxy forming the question mark is more prominent in the James Webb Space Telescope's view, right. Credit: NASA / ESA / CSA / STScI / Vicente Estrada-Carpenter

The question mark is actually five copies of the galaxy pair, four of which make the top of the question mark. The dot below them is an unrelated galaxy that just happens to be in the right place from Webb's vantage point. 

Neither of the interacting galaxies' shapes appears too disrupted, an indicator that the duo is just beginning to interact. Studying such distant regions could yield fresh insights for scientists, astronomer Vicente Estrada-Carpenter said.

"Knowing when, where, and how star formation occurs within galaxies is crucial to understanding how galaxies have evolved over the history of the universe," he said in a statement.

The best 30th birthday gift ideas

Mashable - Thu, 09/05/2024 - 05:00

There's no birthday quite like the big 3-0. You're entering a different phase of adulthood, you're solidifying your sense of self, you're developing new and exciting forms of back pain… it's a big deal. So when a loved one is celebrating this momentous occasion, getting them the right gift is essential. Make sure it's something that says, "You're both youthful and mature." 

This is an excellent birthday for "upgrade" gifts, or the fancy version of something they already love. If they've gotten really into wine, for example, luxurious new glassware may be in order. Or if they love to read on vacation but struggle to fit multiple books in their carry-on, consider gifting them a lightweight Kindle Paperwhite.

On the other hand, a 30th birthday can also be a good moment to gift something fun and novel. Turning 30 can feel like a lot of pressure, but it's not like people in their thirties are banned from enjoying themselves. (Just look at Jennifer Garner in 13 Going on 30!) If your soon-to-be 30-year-old is stressing too much about entering a new decade of their life, maybe just get them a Tamagotchi or something. They are, after all, still incredibly young.

Here are our picks for the best 30th birthday gifts.

For the Apple Stan: With active noise cancellation, great battery life, and a famously comfortable fit, the second edition of the AirPods Pro make an excellent gift for anyone who just can't play the wired earbuds game anymore — no matter how cool it looks.

For the Revlon One-Step Devotee: Is their Revlon One-Step basically attached to their arm at this point? Gift them an upgrade. If you're not prepared to splurge on a Dyson Airwrap, the Shark FlexStyle is just as magical. Reporter Bethany Allard named this high-tech hair tool the best Airwrap alternative because of its value, quality results, and the fact that it preserves hair health more effectively than traditional heat tools.

Canopy Humidifier

For the Design-Minded: We're not sure a humidifier can be elegant, per se, but Canopy's definitely comes the closest. (In our opinion, this pushes it into "giftable" territory.) It's also dishwasher-safe — and if you've ever cleaned a humidifier by hand before, you know how major that is.

For the busy bee: This classic, understated address book also includes sections for important dates, space for passwords (though we don't necessarily recommend keeping those here), and even extra pages if they run out of space.

Le Creuset Stoneware Tea Bag Holder

For the Frugal Friend: If the 30-year-old in your life doesn't treat themselves often, consider gifting them something a little impractical. Is $25 for an object that only holds tea bags a little wild? Sure. But that's exactly what makes it a great gift. Plus, they could also use it as a little spoon rest.

For the CleanTok Fan: First, a word of warning. This is only a good gift for people who have called cleaning "relaxing" or "cathartic."

NYT Strands hints, answers for September 5

Mashable - Thu, 09/05/2024 - 03:39

If you're reading this, you're looking for a little help playing Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game.

Strands requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

If you're feeling stuck or just don't have 10 or more minutes to figure out today's puzzle, we've got all the NYT Strands hints for today's puzzle you need to progress at your preferred pace.

TL;DR: Through Sept. 29, you can get a £45.60 lifetime subscription to Scribbyo and use AI to generate creative content

Content creation isn't just one skill. Whether you're in marketing or just accidentally ended up with a really popular Instagram account, a ton of different skills go into creating quality content. You might need to write one day, find a fun picture the next, and record a podcast the week after. It's a lot for one person (or maybe even a team of people) to handle. But it's not too much for AI. 

Scribbyo is a content creation platform that uses AI tools to help save you time. Whether you're crafting an essay, an ad, a social media post, a landing page, or content of almost any kind, Scribbyo may be able to help. This versatile AI tool lets you generate content in a variety of media, including text, voice-over, images, code, and more, and you can produce content in 37 different languages.

Plus, a lifetime subscription to Scribbyo is only £45.60 for a limited time. 

Use AI to create content

AI doesn't always have to do something you can't. You may be able to listen to a video and transcribe it, but you could save time using the Scribbyo transcribe tool. That means you can easily turn videos into scripts, lectures into lecture notes, and create subtitles on the fly, but this AI doesn't just listen. You can even use Scibbyo to generate voiceover. 

Scribbyo doesn't just use one voice to read your text. You get access to 100+ accents and languages and more than 900 types of voices. Whether you're making a podcast, narrating a presentation, or recording a voiceover for a video, you can take your time finding just the right voice.

This subscription lasts for life, but there are limits on how much you can generate every month. Per month, you can generate 100,000 words (both in content writing and chatbots), 60 AI images, and 60,000 characters of voiceover. 

Your own creative team — all in one AI tool
