Actress Jenna Ortega revealed in an interview with The New York Times published over the weekend that she deleted the social media platform X/Twitter several years ago after seeing AI-generated pornographic images when she was a minor. “I hate AI,” Ortega, now 21, told The New York Times, but acknowledged that the technology “could be used for incredible things.” “Did I, at 14, create a Twitter account because I had to, and enjoy looking at salacious edited content of myself as a child?

Travis Bell remembers car YouTube superstar “Rabbit” PittsRob “Rabbit” Pitts was an instant favorite. He had a natural sense of storytelling and a voice soaked in Carolina honey. He turned his used car business into an adventure. His passing is hard for those of us who only knew him from YouTube and Netflix. For those who knew him personally, this loss is brutal. His friend and fellow VINwiki member Travis Bell is also a friend of mine.
