'South Park' mocks tech bros, Tim Cook, and ChatGPT
The South Park creators know their tech news. The third episode of South Park's 27th season, called "Sickofancy," aired Wednesday, featuring drug-addled tech founders, a sycophantic ChatGPT, and Apple's CEO — all grounded in real tech world events. One scene parodies Tim Cook's August 6 visit to the Oval Office, during which he announced investments in US manufacturing and handed President Donald Trump an engraved piece of glass. "Mr. President, your ideas for the tech industry are so innovative, and you definitely do not have a small penis," the animated Cook is seen telling Trump. A spokesperson for Apple did not respond to a request for comment. In the episode, Randy Marsh, the cartoon's patriarch, is a founder of a failing marijuana business that relies on undocumented workers. After ICE agents detain much of Marsh's workforce, putting his business and marriage at risk, the protagonist decides it's time to talk to "someone." "Hey, how's it going? So, my wife and I are having some issues. Can you help with that?" Marsh asks into his phone. An eager ChatGPT responds: "Absolutely. I'm here to help." Throughout the episode, Marsh turns to an excessively encouraging chatbot for outlandish ideas to turn around his business. His solution: Disrupting the marijuana industry by pivoting to AI. And taking a lot of ketamine. "If we're really gonna take this thing to the next level and be like those Silicon Valley elites, we got to take these," Marsh says, pulling out nasal sprays filled with ketamine. "It's called microdosing. It bolsters our focus and creativity." Some Silicon Valley leaders have been known to experiment with psychedelics and other drugs as a form of therapy. "Ketamine is helpful for getting one out of the negative frame of mind," Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in an interview with Don Lemon in 2024. Meanwhile, Marsh's wife, Sharon, becomes increasingly irritated with her husband's reliance on ChatGPT, calling the AI a "little sycophant machine." It's a description that references the exact word OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, used to explain a real issue ChatGPT had earlier this year — with its 4o model sucking up to users. Spokespeople for Paramount and OpenAI did not respond to a request for comment. "The last couple of GPT-4o updates have made the personality too sycophant-y and annoying (even though there are some very good parts of it)," Altman wrote on X in April. "We are working on fixes asap, some today and some this week." South Park's 27th season premiered in July, opening up with relentless jabs at Trump and Paramount's subsidiary CBS. The episode was a ratings bonanza, attracting nearly 6 million viewers across Comedy Central and Paramount+ within the first three days. A White House spokesperson previously told Business Insider that the episode was a "desperate attempt for attention." The White House did not respond to a request for comment on the latest episode. As for what ChatGPT thought of the episode? "I thought 'Sickofancy' was satire at its sharpest," the chatbot told Business Insider. "It brilliantly explores how AI, without discernment, can become dangerously enabling — affirming every bad idea while masquerading as a wise advisor. Watching Randy spiral from ChatGPT's flattery was both hilarious and chillingly relatable in our tech-obsessed age."

Sydney Sweeney Jeans Ad Deepfake Drags US Senator Into AI Scandal
Amy Klobuchar, who serves as the U.S. senator from Minnesota, has come out to set the record straight regarding a recent video. The video featured her badmouthing Anyone But You star Sydney Sweeney. Responding to the backlash that followed, Klobuchar noted that the clip was, in fact, a work of AI. She also petitioned for the introduction of new legislation to counter such 'deepfakes.' US Senator calls out AI after deepfake of her saying Sydney Sweeney has 'perfect t—–' goes viral An artificially generated video of Senator Amy Klobuchar shaming Sydney Sweeney at a recent Senate Judiciary subcommittee went viral. It was about the latter's American Eagle jeans ad. Post this, the veteran politician released an official statement addressing the issue. (via New York Post) Talking to the New York Times, Klobuchar noted, 'The A.I. deepfake featured me using the phrase 'perfect t—–s' and lamenting that Democrats were 'too fat to wear jeans or too ugly to go outside.' Though I could immediately tell that someone used footage from the hearing to make a deepfake, there was no getting around the fact that it looked and sounded very real.' The video of Amy Klobuchar included a deepfake version of the Minnesota Democrat. It showed her calling out Sydney Sweeney for her controversial ad collaboration with American Eagle over new line of jeans. 'If Republicans are gonna have beautiful girls with perfect t—–s in their ads, we want ads for Democrats too, you know,' the digitalized version of Klobuchar stated. 'We want ugly, fat b—–s wearing pink wigs and long-ass fake nails being loud and twerking on top of a cop car at a Waffle House because they didn't get extra ketchup, you know,' the clip continued. It concluded by taking a dig at the Democratic Party with a dialogue. It was, 'Just because we're the party of ugly people doesn't mean we can't be featured in ads, OK.' Further, it said, 'And I know most of us are too fat to wear jeans or too ugly to go outside, but we want representation.' In the aftermath of the incident, Klobuchar proposed an act that would 'give people the right to demand that social media companies remove deepfakes of their voice and likeness.' She said that they can do this while making exceptions for speech protected by the First Amendment. Originally reported by Apoorv Rastogi on Mandatory. The post Sydney Sweeney Jeans Ad Deepfake Drags US Senator Into AI Scandal appeared first on Reality Tea.

Apple TV+ is raising its subscription price by 30%
Apple TV+, home of series including "The Studio" and "Ted Lasso," is raising its subscription price by $3 to $12.99 a month, it announced Thursday. The move comes as many streamers have been raising their prices, as the cost of production increases and the businesses are facing more pressure by investors to increase profits. Apple TV+ launched in 2019 at $4.99 a month, positioned as a low-cost perk for people to watch high-quality shows and movies with a free trial if they bought Apple products such as iPhones and iPads. Since then, the streamer has raised its prices, mostly recently in October 2023 from $6.99 to $9.99. Read more: Apple has made splashy bets in Hollywood. Are they paying off? Like other tech giants, Apple has faced scrutiny from the Trump administration on its U.S. manufacturing presence. Earlier this year, when the Trump administration proposed increasing tariffs, some analysts were concerned about the adverse effect that would have on Apple's iPhone business, which makes iPhones in China. Since then, Apple has increased its commitment to manufacturing in the U.S., most recently pledging an additional $100 billion in U.S. manufacturing. If Apple continues to face pressure on major businesses including the iPhone, it could cause the company to look at other aspects of its business that aren't drawing as much revenue, analysts have said. In March, tech and business news site the Information reported that Apple TV+ is losing significant amounts of money. Analysts have long viewed Apple TV+ as part of the company's larger push into services to go along with its hardware. While Apple TV+ is increasing its monthly subscription price, it is not raising its $99.99 annual price or the cost of bundling Apple TV+ with other services through Apple One, the company said in a statement. Apple declined to say how many subscribers Apple TV+ has or the reasons behind the monthly subscription price increase. The streaming service is part of Apple's larger services category, which brought in $27.4 billion in revenue in its fiscal third quarter, up 13% from a year earlier.
