The TikTok video showed Chance wearing a helmet as she is wiped off camera by Skovran at lightning speed. But when it's comes to Skovran, the end up bursting into laughter as Chance finds it difficult to pull him out of the frame quickly. "I knew that wasn't going to work," Skovran said, as Chance falls to the ground. As of July 14, 2025, the video had garnered more than 23 million views.
What is the 'Bugatti Challenge' and when did it start?
TikTok's 'I woke up in a new Bugatti' trend showcases wild couple pranks set to Ace Hood's 2013 track 'Bugatti.' In the challenge, one person acts like they're driving while the other suddenly pulls them out of view. The trend has reignited interest in the song and its influence on pop culture.
Live Events
The trend went viral in 2023 for the first time. While the origin of the "Bugatti Challenge" is unclear, a video posted in March 2023 continues to surface on TikTok. In the video, with more than 16 million views as of July 14, a toddler is seen sitting on the floor before she is yanked off screen when the chorus, "
I woke up in a new Bugatti

Voice actors push back as AI threatens dubbing industry
Fearing job loss, Europe's voice actors call for EU regulation Studios explore using artificial intelligence to dub, with mixed results AI firms say humans key for quality, tech brings efficiency By Elizabeth Pineau, Miranda Murray and Dawn Chmielewski PARIS/BERLIN, July 30 (Reuters) - Boris Rehlinger may not turn heads on the streets of Paris, but his voice is instantly recognisable to millions of French filmgoers. As the French voice of Ben Affleck, Joaquin Phoenix, and even Puss in Boots, Rehlinger is a star behind the scenes — and now he is fighting to keep his craft alive in the age of AI. "I feel threatened even though my voice hasn't been replaced by AI yet," the actor, who is part of a French initiative, TouchePasMaVF, to protect human-created dubbing from artificial intelligence, told Reuters. He said there was a team of professionals, including actors, translators, production directors, dialogue adapters and sound engineers, to ensure audiences barely notice that the actor on screen is speaking a different language than they hear. The rise of global streaming platforms such as Netflix , which relies heavily on dubbing to make global hits such as "Squid Game" and "Lupin", has amplified demand. Consumer research firm GWI says 43% of viewers in Germany, France, Italy and Britain prefer dubbed content over subtitles. The market is expected to grow to $4.3 billion in 2025, reaching $7.6 billion by 2033, according to Business Research Insights. That growth could also amplify demand for the so-far nascent technology-based solutions, with platforms competing for subscribers and revenue, and seeking to win over advertisers from their rivals by emphasising their increasing reach. But as AI-generated voices become more sophisticated and cost-effective, voice actor industry associations across Europe are calling on the EU to tighten regulations to protect quality, jobs and artists' back catalogues from being used to create future dubbed work. "We need legislation: Just as after the car, which replaced the horse-drawn carriage, we need a highway code," Rehlinger said. Worries over technology in the movie industry and whether it will replace the work of humans are not new. AI has been a flashpoint in Hollywood since the labour unrest of 2023, which resulted in new guidelines for the use of the technology. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said this month that the company used generative AI to produce visual effects for the first time on screen in the original series "El Eternauta (The Eternaut)". It has also tested GenAI to synchronise actors' lip movements with dubbed dialogue to improve the viewing experience, according to three sources familiar with the work. These experiments rely on local voice actors to deliver the lines, rather than use AI to synthetically translate the on-screen performer's voice into another language. Such a use of AI for dubbing is permitted under the new SAG-AFTRA actors' union contract, which covers voice-over dubbing from foreign languages into English. It also requires that the actor rendering the dubbing service be paid. Netflix declined to comment on its use of AI in dubbing when asked by Reuters. Such test-runs by an industry giant will do little to allay the fears of dubbing actors. In Germany, 12 well-known dubbing actors went viral on TikTok in March, garnering 8.7 million views, for their campaign saying "Let's protect artistic, not artificial, intelligence". A petition from the VDS voice actors' association calling on German and EU lawmakers to push AI companies to obtain explicit consent when training the technology on artists' voices and fairly compensate them, as well as transparently label AI-generated content, gained more than 75,500 signatures. When intellectual property is no longer protected, no one will produce anything anymore "because they think 'tomorrow it will be stolen from me anyway'," said Cedric Cavatore, a VDS member who has dubbed films and video games including the PlayStation game "Final Fantasy VII Remake". VDS collaborates with United Voice Artists, a global network of over 20,000 voice actors advocating for ethical AI use and fair contracts. In the United States, Hollywood video game voice and motion capture actors this month signed a new contract with video game studios focused on AI that SAG-AFTRA said represented important progress on protections against the tech. Some studios are already cautiously exploring AI. Eberhard Weckerle, managing director of the Neue Tonfilm Muenchen studio, hopes AI and human dubbing can one day coexist. "The fear is that AI will be used to make something as cheap as possible and then people will say, 'Okay, I'll accept that I'll have poorer quality'. And that would actually be the worst thing that could happen to us," said the sound engineer whose studio worked on the German version of "Conclave" and is currently dubbing Guy Ritchie's new film. Earlier this year, the German-dubbed version of streaming service Viaplay's Polish crime series "Murderesses" was removed after criticism from viewers about the monotony of its AI-generated dialogue. The streamer had decided to look into alternative dubbing options due to how prohibitively expensive going through the traditional channels can be in Germany. The hybrid dubbing, created with Israeli startup DeepDub, used a mix of human and AI voices. DeepDub did not respond to an emailed request for comment. "We'll continue offering subtitles and reserve dubbing for select content," said Vanda Rapti, the executive vice president of ViaPlay Group, ViaPlay Select & Content distribution. Despite the disquiet over that series, other potential viewers seem more sanguine. According to GWI, nearly half of viewers said their opinion would not change if they learned that the content they liked was generated by AI. Some 25% said they would like it slightly less, and only 3% said they would like it much more. Stefan Sporn, CEO of Audio Innovation Lab, which used AI to dub the Cannes Film Festival entry "Black Dog" from Chinese to German, believes AI will reshape, but not replace, voice work. Humans will always be needed for emotion, scripting, and language nuance, he said, "just not to the same extent". Audio Innovation Lab's technology alters the original actor's voice to match the target language, aiming for authenticity and efficiency. "Interest is huge," said Sporn, adding that producers, studios and advertisers all want to know how well it works. Another startup, Flawless AI, bills itself as an ethical AI company that works with local voice actors and uses its technology to match the on-screen actor's lip movements to the different languages. "When AI technologies are used in the right way, they are a silver bullet to change how we can film-make in a new way," co-CEO Scott Mann said.

‘Third World Who?': UK Couple Says Goa Shopping Experience Tops London, NYC And Dubai
Last Updated: The video showcases a smart changing room setup in India that a British couple says they've never seen before. A British couple was left amazed by a unique shopping experience at a store in Goa. Liam and Dani Cross, who run the YouTube channel Travel With The Crosses, shared a video showcasing an innovative changing room setup they hadn't encountered even in London, Dubai, or New York. Changing Room That Tracks What You Carry The couple visited the Azorte store in South Goa, where Liam picked up three clothing items and walked into the trial room. As soon as he entered, a screen behind him displayed all three items along with their sizes. 'Look how from the future these changing rooms are," Dani said while recording the moment. Touchscreen Features In the video, Dani explained how the smart mirror detected the items automatically. If a different size was needed, all it took was a tap on the screen to place a request. 'The mirror there picks up everything. And then, say you want another size, you can choose one and ask them to bring it," she said. The screen also suggested clothing combinations and allowed users to ask the staff to bring those to try out. 'THIS IS NOT IN DUBAI, THIS IS NOT IN LONDON, THIS IS NOT IN NEW YORK… This is INDIA. I'm sorry, but India?! Third world who?! This is better than shopping in Wales!! Back where the salesman 'goes to the back" to check if they have your size… when clearly they leave the room scroll on TikTok for a minute, then come back empty-handed. Gotta give it to India for the shopping experience," the couple wrote in the caption. Online Response The video gathered nearly four lakh views. Many appreciated the couple for showing a different side of India. One user commented, 'Good to see someone who's showing the positive side of India." Another added, 'Thanks for showing the cool side of India, unlike other western travellers who just show slums and poverty!" 'This is amazing! Every changing room everywhere should have this!" someone expressed. 'Omg, this is the coolest thing. Initially, I was like ooh fancy, could be Dubai/London/US etc., and then I read the caption and you said India, and I was like daaaaaamn, and then you said Goa, and I said WTF!!! I'm from Goa and this was so so cool! So glad you guys are loving Goa!" a person exclaimed. The mirror inside the changing rooms at Reliance Retail's Azorte stores uses RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, which helps detect products as soon as they come within approximately 10 meters of the installed sensor, according to Cashify.
