Alan Page's foundation honors Jim Marshall with expansion of scholarship
Vikings legend Jim Marshall was a champion for young people. Now fellow Vikings legend Alan Page is honoring Marshall's legacy through an expansion of coverage for scholarship recipients. In the wake of Marshall's death, the Page Education Foundation announced that those that receive the Page Grant can use it to cover the full cost of attendance starting this fall. Previously, the Page Grant only could be used to cover the cost of tuition. In a release, Page noted how Marshall believed in lifting up others throughout his life, adding, 'Expanding this grant is a way we continue to honor that belief and ensure the next generation can rise.' The expansion specifically allows scholarship recipients to use the Page Grant for college expenses including housing, meals, transportation, books and childcare. 'In the face of shifting national conversations about equity in education, we're choosing to stay grounded in our mission,' executive director Amanda Moua said in a release. 'This expansion ensures our scholars receive support that truly meets the realities they face in college today.'

4 arrested in Japan over sales of AI-generated porn in first such case
Three men and one woman have been arrested in Japan for allegedly selling explicit posters generated by artificial intelligence (AI) through online auctions, in the first such case in the country. Advertisement The four suspects in their 20s to 50s had reportedly fed an AI software a huge volume of obscene images to learn from them to generate the fictitious images, according to public broadcaster NHK and other local media outlets. They used search terms such as 'legs open' to create new images of fictitious women in certain poses and situations. Marking the images as 'AI beauties' on posters, the suspects sold them for several thousand yen each, Tokyo police said on Tuesday. To circumvent the ban on such sales via online auctions, they displayed censored images but delivered uncensored versions to buyers, The Mainichi reported. Among those arrested for distributing and displaying obscene objects to buyers was Tomohiro Mizutani, a 44-year-old retail worker from Aichi prefecture. Mizutani told authorities that he became involved in the illicit trade after finding out that he could make a huge profit from it. He was reportedly making sales of as much as 10 million yen (US$70,000) over about a year from the images.
