One of the most talented skaters jettisoned in the Lakai collapse, Simon's name has been at the tip of everyone's tongues, wondering what his next shoe sponsor will be. He's seen here wearing Asics in some clips, so we'll see if that develops into a solid deal.

Charred Remains ain't a bad name for a part. Kinda makes it sound like it was leftover clips, which for Foy, are probably still better than most pros' bangers. Don't know why Simon just got the Spitfire Part title...
Anywho, the clips do the talking, and that ender is bonkers. Nice one, Simon.

Cat soap operas and babies trapped in space: the ‘AI slop' taking over YouTube
Babies trapped in space, zombie football stars and cat soap operas: welcome to YouTube in the era of AI video. Nearly one in 10 of the fastest growing YouTube channels globally are showing AI-generated content only, as breakthroughs in the technology spur a flood of artificial content. Guardian analysis of data from the analytics firm Playboard shows that out of the top 100 fastest growing channels in July this year, nine were showing purely AI-generated content. The offerings include channels featuring bizarre narratives such as a baby crawling into a pre-launch space rocket, an undead Cristiano Ronaldo and melodramas featuring humanised cats. AI video generation has surged amid the release of powerful tools such as Google's Veo 3 and Elon Musk's Grok Imagine. The channels have millions of subscribers in total, including 1.6 million for the space-stranded infant and 3.9 million for Super Cat League, which features human-like cats having affairs and, among one of many bizarre scenes, the felines shooting down and dismembering an eagle. Many of these videos qualify as 'AI slop', which refers to low-quality, mass-produced content that is surreal, uncanny or simply grotesque. But some contain a brief, rudimentary plot – in a sign of the growing sophistication of AI-generated content. YouTube has tried to stem the slop deluge by blocking the sharing of advertising revenue with channels that post repetitive and 'inauthentic' content – a policy targeted at AI content. 'All content uploaded to YouTube is subject to our community guidelines – regardless of how it's generated,' said a spokesperson for YouTube, which is owned by Google's parent company. After being contacted by the Guardian about the channels – which included channels in the fastest growing list for June – YouTube said it had removed three of them from the platform and blocked a further two from receiving advertising income. It did not specify which channels had been sanctioned. One expert said AI video generators herald the next wave of internet 'enshittification', a term first used by the British-Canadian author Cory Doctorow. Coined in 2022, Doctorow used it to describe the decline in quality of users' online experiences, as platforms prioritise profit over offering high-quality content. 'AI slop is flooding the internet with content that essentially is garbage,' said Dr Akhil Bhardwaj, an associate professor at the University of Bath's school of management. 'This enshittification is ruining online communities on Pinterest, competing for revenue with artists on Spotify and flooding YouTube with poor quality content.' 'One way for social media companies to regulate AI slop is to ensure that it cannot be monetised, thus stripping away the incentive for generating it.' Ryan Broderick, the author of the popular Garbage Day newsletter on internet culture, is scathing about the impact of AI video, writing last week that YouTube has become a 'dumping ground for disturbing, soulless AI shorts'. Instagram's Reels video feature is also flooded with AI content. On the platform, a video of various celebrities' heads attached to animal bodies has gained 3.7m views, starring the 'Rophant' (Dwayne Johnson and an elephant) and 'Emilla' (Eminem on a gorilla). On TikTok, many AI-generated videos have gone viral, including a video of Abraham Lincoln vlogging his ill-fated trip to the opera and cats competing in an Olympic diving event. However, the Lincoln and cat Olympic videos are more in the spirit of the internet's pre-slop era of playful wit. Instagram and TikTok said they require all realistic AI-content to be labelled. Videos suspected to contain AI from these channels were cross-checked with deepfake detection service provider Reality Defender. The channels featuring AI videos for July are: Super Cat League (3.9 million subscribers) বজল মিয়া 767k (2 million subscribers – this account has since been closed) LSB POWER GAMING (1.7 million subscribers) Amite Now Here (1.4 million subscribers) Starway (2.8 million subscribers) AmyyRoblox (2.4 million subscribers) Again Raz Vai (1.8 million subscribers) Cuentos Facinantes (4.8 million subscribers) MIRANHAINSANO (4.9 million subscribers) Sign in to access your portfolio

Bay FC's Penelope Hocking to miss 3-4 weeks with stress injury in left foot
With a boot over her left foot and crutches in hand, Bay FC's Penelope Hocking watched her teammates take the pitch against the San Diego Wave en route to a 2-1 loss on Saturday night. The team told the Chronicle that Hocking suffered a stress injury to her left foot, and she was expected to miss 3-4 weeks. Hocking first began experiencing the pain following Bay FC's 1-1 draw against Chicago Stars FC on Aug. 10. The team said it didn't know whether the injury was suffered during a specific practice or match, only that Hocking formally reported the pain early this week and she was subsequently held out from training. After undergoing tests, Hocking was diagnosed with a stress injury on Thursday morning. Bay FC have struggled on the attack through the season, but glimmers from Hocking offered hope. Before Saturday's match, Hocking made six goal contributions in her past eight regular-season contests (5 goals, 1 assist). Hocking's five goals lead the club, with four players tied for second with two goals apiece. When Hocking remained sidelined for Saturday's match, it begged a reasonable concern. Where will Bay FC's offense come from, if not Hocking? On Saturday night, the answer remained unclear. Aside from a penalty kick, Bay FC failed to convert an opportunity into a score. In their recent match against Chicago, it was Taylor Huff whose foot made good. Ahead of Saturday's match, Bay FC head coach Albertin Montoya said Karlie Lema could pose a decisive threat. In their last contest against San Diego, where Bay FC fell 2-1, it was Lema who scored the equalizer in the 18th minute. But on Saturday, Montoya's expectations didn't hold true as he subbed Tess Boade for Lema in the 65th minute. The game's first goal didn't come until the 52nd minute. A right-footed shot from San Diego's Kimmi Ascanio slotted into the back of the net to bring the score 1-0. Maintaining their momentum, the Wave returned with a second score from Kenza Dali just 11 minutes later. Bay FC injected energy into fans at PayPal Park when Caroline Conti converted a penalty into a score, hooking her shot into the high left corner at the game's 75th minute. But the team came no closer. Next Saturday, Bay FC will play the Washington Spirit at Oracle Park — the first professional women's sporting event at the park in history. Community connection: On Friday, Bay FC announced their nomination of Kundananji for the 2025 Lauren Holiday Impact Award, which honors players for their impact on local and global communities. Bay FC leadership and Kundananji selected Soccer Without Borders, an Oakland-based nonprofit, as her beneficiary for the award recognition. The nonprofit removes barriers to sports participation by offering free services such as programs, equipment and transportation. Kundananji's work with the nonprofit has been a meaningful experience to her. '(Inspiring young athletes) means everything to me, I mean, it's my 'why,'' Bay FC co-founder and former national team member Danielle Slaton told the Chronicle. 'It's about helping create an environment and a community that is something stronger together, that has something communal to celebrate.' For the nonprofit's girls team — the Jaguars — Kundananji was the first professional player the aspiring athletes had encountered, let alone had the opportunity to work with. Kundananji and some participants co-designed soccer kits — a bright pink jersey featuring symbols intrinsic to their team. Most prominently, the word 'Familia' was printed across the front of the jersey. 'Soccer Without Borders is an organization that helps, like, newcomers or kids that don't really know how to speak English. So we just put 'Familia' because that's part of our culture,' said Jaguars player Nelida Perez, who played a heavy hand in the kit's design. Ahead of Saturday's match, Bay FC welcomed the Jaguars to experience a day in the life of a Bay FC athlete — getting their hair and makeup done professionally, and taking part in a media availability session. But designing the kit wasn't Perez's favorite part of this journey with Bay FC. 'Meeting Racheal, she inspired me to play professional soccer now, and like, be me. She gave me potential,' Perez told the Chronicle. 'Her story inspired me and that makes me, like, motivated to keep going and work hard to be a professional soccer player one day.'
