display as she arrived at the stadium, located in East Rutherford, and donned

rhinestone embellishments on the front and right
pocket for a unique flare throughout the night.

Swift also threw on a black leather
jacket to help her stay warm and

12
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.799
the cooler fall temperatures. Her new
bff, Sophie Turner, who recently split

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:08.079

00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:23.359
the fund, while Hugh Jackman was
also spotted amongst the stars started Entourage following

17
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:27.040

18
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:33.200
cheer on the Chiefs included Swift's brother
Austin, Queer Eye star and Tony Perowski,

19
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:38.879
filmmaker Sean Levy, Blake Lavely's sister
and actress Robin Lavely, and Taylor's

20
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:44.560
backup dancer Melanie Naima. Russell Brand
is now being investigated by two police forces

21
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:49.239
in the UK following the allegations of
rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse against

22
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.040
the actor and comedian that were revealed
in a joint investigation by Channel four,

23
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.120
The Sunday Times and The Times on
Monday. Thames Valley Police said a woman

24
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:02.159
contacted the force two weeks ago with
new information in relation to reports of harassment

25
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:07.000
and stalking, according to the BBC, which added that the woman had reported

26
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:12.319
allegations to the same police force numerous
times between twenty eighteen and twenty twenty two,

27
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:16.080
but no further action was taken.
The news comes following the London's Metropolitan

28
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:21.560
Police previously confirming that it was launching
a probe into non recent incidents, saying

29
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:25.319
that it had received a number of
allegations of sexual offenses. Brand has previously

30
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:31.840
vehemently denied very serious criminal allegations,
using a video post to describe the accusations

31
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:38.840
as extremely egregious and aggressive attacks that
he said he absolutely refutes. Following the

32
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:43.319
expose into Brand, which aired on
September sixteenth, the BBC, Channel four

33
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.719
and banne j Auk, which employed
Brand at various stages of his career and

34
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:51.319
during the period where the allegations are
said to have occurred, have each launched

35
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:55.919
their own internal investigations. Channel four
and the BBC also removed certain content featuring

36
00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:00.280
Brand from their streaming platforms, while
a two thousand stand up special of his

37
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:07.560
was removed from Paramount Plus. Tom
Hanks is warning fans not to trust a

38
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.879
video of him circulating about a dental
plan. The Oscar winning actor took to

39
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:15.800
his Instagram on Sunday to give his
fans a heads up that anything they may

40
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:20.360
see about him online linked to a
dental plan was not actually him, but

41
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.479
where there's a video out there promoting
some dental plan with an AI version of

42
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:27.879
me, I have nothing to do
with it, Hanks wrote over a photo

43
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.479
of a computer generated image of him
from the clip. We saw this coming,

44
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.759
he said on the Adam Buxton podcast
in May. We saw that there

45
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.479
was going to be this ability to
take zeros and ones inside a computer and

46
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:42.919
turn it into a face and character. Now that has only grown a billion

47
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.800
fold since then, and we see
it everywhere. He also discussed how with

48
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.360
the use of AI, a version
of him could continue acting even if something

49
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.319
were to happen to him. I
could be hit by a bus tomorrow,

50
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.120
and that set the performances can go
on and on and on and on.

51
00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:00.599
Hanks said, outside the understanding of
AI and deep faith, there will be

52
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:02.680
nothing to tell you that it's not
me and me alone, and it's going

53
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:06.759
to have some degree of lifelike quality. That's certainly an artistic challenge, but

54
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:12.199
it's also a legal one. While
the writers strike officially ended on Wednesday,

55
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.560
it took nearly one hundred and fifty
days for studios to agree to protections for

56
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:20.360
writers against AI penning or rewriting original
scripts for being used as a source material

57
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:25.759
to adapt. Per their new deal, writers also cannot be required to use

58
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:30.600
AI, and companies must disclose if
they are giving writers any sort of AI

59
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:39.600
generated material. More Entertainment Daily in
Just a Moment. Robin William's daughter Zelda

60
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:43.319
is also speaking out against the use
of artificial intelligence to recreate the sound of

61
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:47.240
her father's voice. I am not
an impartial voice in SAG's fight against AI.

62
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:51.079
At witnessed for years. How many
people want to train these models to

63
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:56.959
create or recreate actors who cannot consent
like Dad? She wrote on her Instagram

64
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:00.000
story on Sunday. This isn't theoretical, it is very real. I have

65
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.040
already heard AI used to get his
voice to say whatever people want, and

66
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:09.680
while I find it personally disturbing,
the ramifications go far beyond my own feelings.

67
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.480
Her comments come on the heels of
the Writer's Good of America strike against

68
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.560
the studios are issues that included the
use of AI, amongst other sticking points.

69
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.879
While the WGA is attentative deal in
place, SAG after it is still

70
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:27.240
currently on strike over the use of
AI and other issues. Living actors deserve

71
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.399
a chance to create characters with their
voices, to voice cartoons, to put

72
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.519
their human effort in time into the
pursuit of a performance. Zola continued in

73
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:39.600
a post, these recreations are at
their very best a poor facsimile of greater

74
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:44.639
people, but at their worst,
a horrendous Frankensteinian monster, cobbled together from

75
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.839
the worst bits of everything this industry
is instead of what it should stand for.

76
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:53.399
Robin died by suicide in twenty fourteen
at age sixty two. He had

77
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:58.839
been diagnosed previously with anxiety, severe
depression, and Parkinson's disease, and autopsy

78
