BJ Novak jokes that Mindy Kaling loves being famous at her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony
Mindy Kaling is known for many things, but according to her longtime friend and “Office” costar B.J. Novak, she especially loves being known for, well, being well known. Kaling was honored on Tuesday when she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where Novak made a heartfelt speech that also poked fun at Kaling’s love of being famous, even if it’s a “weird” part of the job that she never really signed up for. “Mindy respects and understands this in a very intuitive way,” Novak joked. “Because in addition to being a brilliant and wildly successful showrunner, an incredible mother-of-three, a deep and caring daughter and friend and mentor to so many, Mindy is also, in her spare time, I assure you, very superficial.”

US tourists can’t visit North Korea. This American spent six figures on a second passport so he could travel there
For most of the world, the dark days of Covid-19 feel like a distant memory. But not in North Korea, said Justin Martell, who just became the first known American to step foot inside the secretive nation since the onset of the pandemic more than five years ago.

Marlon Wayans drops AI-generated country music diss track to taunt Soulja Boy amid feud
Marlon Wayans' and Soulja Boy's quarrel began weeks ago, and the two continue to exchange barbs with the "Scary Movie" actor and comedian recently releasing an AI-generated country music diss track taunting the rapper. Wayans posted the diss track to his Instagram on Thursday with the caption: "What you say ‘Bout my mama?!" The song opens by accusing Soulja Boy of being on drugs, including "crinack and meth."

After posting the song, Wayans continued to take jabs at Soulja Boy on his Instagram, even posting about the rapper's teeth.
How US tech giants supplied Israel with AI models, raising questions about tech’s role in warfare
U.S. tech giants have quietly empowered Israel to track and kill many more alleged militants more quickly in Gaza and Lebanon through a sharp spike in artificial intelligence and computing services. But the number of civilians killed has also soared, along with fears that these tools are contributing to the deaths of innocent people. Militaries have for years hired private companies to build custom autonomous weapons. However, Israel’s recent wars mark a leading instance in which commercial AI models made in the United States have been used in active warfare, despite concerns that they were not originally developed to help decide who lives and who dies.
