WAX ON, WAX OFF: Netflix’s “Cobra Kai” used artificial intelligence to bring back the most influential character in the “Karate Kid” universe — the late Pat Morita’s Mr. Miyagi.

‘AGE OF AI’: Nvidia released its earnings report on Wednesday and projected that fourth-quarter sales were above Wall Street estimates, but investors balked as those figures fell short of the lofty expectations the artificial intelligence giant has garnered during its historic rise.

When Ellis, a 14-year-old from Texas, woke up one October morning with several missed calls and texts, they were all about the same thing: nude images of her circulating on social media. That she had not actually taken the pictures didn't make a difference, as artificial intelligence makes so-called "deepfakes" more and more realistic. The source images of Ellis and a friend, also a victim, were lifted from Instagram, their faces then placed on naked bodies below. Other students -- all girls -- were also targeted, with the photos shared with other classmates on Snapchat.
