Robot DOG makes an appearance at the Met Gala
But one attendant in particular has stolen the limelight this year – and he's not even human.
Indian-American entrepreneur Mona Patel rocked up to the annual event on Monday night with an adorable robotic dachshund in tow.
Vector the robo-dog, developed by scientists at MIT, has a 1,000-carat diamond-studded leash and his own cute little specially-fitted tuxedo.
Powered by AI and equipped with sensors, Vector has customised movement patterns and 'just the right amount of sass', Vogue India reports.
Patel herself wore a custom suit with a cape and corseted bodice from American fashion designer Thom Browne, plus a 3D-printed hat.

'Genocide is not a grey area": Mark Ruffalo calls out Gaza genocide deniers
Actor and activist Mark Ruffalo has used his social media platform to condemn those downplaying the crisis in Gaza, posting a pointed message on his Instagram story that read, 'Genocide is not a grey area…' The statement appeared alongside a video clip of a speaker explaining the history and current realities of the situation in Gaza. His latest post adds to the growing number of Hollywood voices calling attention to the war in Gaza and urging audiences to confront what is happening on the ground. Since the escalation of violence following October 7, 2023, Ruffalo has intensified his advocacy. He signed a letter to former President Joe Biden, alongside other celebrities, urging an immediate ceasefire and de-escalation in Gaza. He also condemned 'Israel's' actions in Rafah in 2024, describing the situation as forcing Palestinians to "die in the desert or die in your homes," and called for humanitarian aid. Additionally, he criticized US policy after the death of a Turkish-American, blaming unwavering US support for 'Israel'. Ruffalo has also supported broader advocacy efforts. In September 2024, he joined over 700 SAG-AFTRA members, including Ramy Youssef and Susan Sarandon, in an open letter urging the union to protect members from blacklisting for pro-Palestinian views and to call for a permanent ceasefire, condemning 'Israel's' military actions in Gaza. He has endorsed Artists4Ceasefire, advocating against US arms sales to 'Israel', and supported pro-Palestine protests, such as at the 2024 Oscars.

OpenAI is practically giving ChatGPT to US government for free
Ammon News - OpenAI is poised to undercut rivals like Anthropic and Google in the race to see its AI tools integrated into federal agency workflows. The AI giant has reached an agreement with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), the government's central purchasing arm, to offer ChatGPT Enterprise to participating federal agencies for just $1 per agency for the next year. The partnership comes a day after the GSA added OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic to a list of approved AI vendors that can offer their services to civilian federal agencies. The companies will see their tools offered via the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), a federal contracting platform that lets government agencies access AI tools via pre-negotiated contracts so they don't have to negotiate with vendors individually. It's not clear whether other AI firms are going to offer their services at such a discounted rate, though GSA Federal Acquisition Service commissioner Josh Gruenbaum in a statement encouraged 'other American AI technology companies to follow OpenAI's lead and work with us.' In addition to access to ChatGPT Enterprise, OpenAI is offering unlimited use of advanced models for an additional 60 days. Federal employees will also have access to a new government user community and tailored introductory training resources to get familiar with OpenAI's tools. TechCrunch
