Snapchat’s recent rollout of Snapchat Plus offers benefits only available to those who are subscribed to the service. One of the biggest exclusive features is that of the Snapchat Friend Solar System, which takes your close Snapchat friends and assigns a planet to them. Some may look at this and wonder how it assigns planets, or what those planets are for. Here is everything you need to know about the Snapchat Planets on Snapchat Plus. Simply, the order of Snapchat Planets works out exactly like the order of the planets in the real-life solar system. Eight planets orbit around the Sun, with a certain amount of distance between them. On Snapchat Planets, you are the Sun, and your eight closest friends are organized by their distance from the Sun. Thus, the order is as follows: Mercury: First closest friend Venus: Second closest friend Earth: Third closest friend Mars: Fourth closest friend Jupiter: Fifth closest friend Saturn: Sixth closest friend Uranus: Seventh closest friend Neptune: Eighth closest friend Snapchat will automatically assign your eight best friends a planet based on how much activity you share with each other. Thus, the friends you send Snaps to the most or have the longest

TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — According to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 90% of teens ages 13 to 17 have some form of social media.From Instagram, to Snapchat, Tik Tok and Facebook, social media is a part of almost everyone’s life and that includes kids as young as 4th grade.“Social media can impact all of us in a variety of ways, and certainly I would say one of the ways it impacts all of us, kids and adults alike, is we tend to compare our worst day to everybody else’s highlight reel,” said Heather Leishman, a counselor at South Hills Middle School in Twin Falls.When kids are young, they don’t have the coping mechanisms to handle and process what they are seeing on social media.“Really hope and try to educate kids and families to try to limit or keep kids off of that social media until that later age when they have those skills to process and understand social media,” said Brook Heath, a clinical supervisor with the behavioral health department.Brook Heath from the Department of Health and Welfare says the goal is to wait until 8th grade to allow your children on social media, but even

Published August 21, 2023 5:07PM SHERBURNE CO. (FOX 9) - An early morning crash in Sherburne County that killed one and injured several others will result in multiple charges for the driver who was clocked going more than 100 miles per hour (MPH) after leaving a bar. Hunter Michael Buckentine, 23, of Avon, is charged with two counts of vehicular homicide (driving in a negligent manner and leaving the scene), as well as, perpetrating a dangerous act for his role in the crash. According to charges, on Aug. 19, around 1:11 a.m., a Minnesota State Trooper was traveling eastbound on U.S. Highway 10 near County Road 8 in Becker when he observed a vehicle traveling 132 MPH in the westbound lane. The trooper turned around, but during an attempt to catch up, it kept pulling away, nearly out of sight, according to charges. It was last clocked at 116 MPH before it disappeared from the trooper’s vision, according to charges. Shortly after the chase, police say the trooper came across debris of glass and vehicle parts on the roadway, just east of 97th Street SE.

MOSCOW: The Luna-25 probe, Russia’s first Moon mission in almost 50 years, has crashed on the Moon after an incident during pre-landing manoeuvres, Russian space agency Roscosmos said on Sunday.Communication with Luna-25 was lost at 2:57 pm (1157 GMT) on Saturday, Roscosmos said.According to preliminary findings, the lander “has ceased to exist following a collision with the Moon’s surface”.“Measures taken on August 19 and 20 to locate the craft and make contact with it were unsuccessful,” the space agency added.It said a ministerial investigation would be launched into the causes of the crash, without giving any indication of what technical problems might have occurred.With Luna-25, Moscow had hoped to build on the legacy of its Soviet-era Luna programme, marking a return to independent lunar exploration in the face of financial troubles and corruption scandals at the programme and growing isolation from the West.The 800-kilogram Luna-25 probe was to have made a soft landing on Monday on the lunar south pole – the first in history.Russia has not attempted to land on a celestial body since 1989, when the Soviet Union’s ill-fated Phobos 2 probe to explore the moons of Mars failed due to an onboard computer malfunction.Roscosmos boss Yuri Borisov

Jade Cargill has established herself as a dominant force in the promotion, showcasing impressive in-ring skills and a commanding presence. Her rapid rise culminated in her being crowned TBS Women’s Champion, which made her a star. That said, it appears she had to tell some thirsty fans to calm down after uploading a recent photo. Jade’s dominance was especially apparent after winning the TBS Women’s Championship. That said, she ended up dropping the title to Kris Statlander at AEW Double or Nothing and has been absent from AEW television ever since. While she remains absent from AEW television, Jade Cargill has kept herself busy with a lot of things. Cargill recently took to Twitter and uploaded a few gorgeous photos of herself wearing a shiny silver dress, where she barely showed any skin. That didn’t stop people from thirsting after the former TBS Women’s Champion. It got so crazy that Jade Cargill had to make another tweet just to tell fans to stop thirsting after her. Calm down. It’s just my thigh Despite rumors of her AEW exit, AEW President Tony Khan previously confirmed that she is still part of the roster. AEW is already talking about Jade Cargill’s return as well. We’ll have

It’s only a matter of time until generative AI products like ChatGPT gain sentience. But when they do, we won’t be easily convinced. Or maybe the AI will try to obfuscate its sentience once it reaches that point. That’s what some doomsayers fear. But if AI becomes sentient, I don’t expect Snapchat’s My AI to be the first to do it. That’s what some Snapchat users feared earlier this week when the already controversial My AI feature seemed to go rogue. Tech. Entertainment. Science. Your inbox. Sign up for the most interesting tech & entertainment news out there. By signing up, I agree to the Terms of Use and have reviewed the Privacy Notice. It turns out it was just a glitch. My AI started posting Snapchat stories by itself. As annoying or freaky as it might seem, that’s all there is to it. And there’s a reason My AI can’t gain sentience before ChatGPT does. Snapchat uses ChatGPT tech to power My AI. It hasn’t developed its own chatbot. Much has been said about Snapchat’s My AI — the unnecessary generative AI feature that Snap forced down everyone’s throats in mid-April. Not only did My AI get prime placement

Zonnique Pullins is making it clear that she’s not cashing in on her sex appeal on OnlyFans. The 27-year-old, whose famous parents are T.I. and Tiny, put a stop to rumors about her having an account on the subscription-based content platform during a recent live chat with her followers. While in New York with her OMG Girlz bandmates, Zonnique fielded a range of comments and questions from fans online. She addressed a few inquiries about when she planned to give people a more intimate look at her on the popular digital destination. Zonnique Pullins says she won’t be starting an OnlyFans account. (Photos: Zonniquejaillee/Instagram.) To at least that individual’s disappointment, the prospect of her teasing sexy photos or videos will only take place in fans’ wildest fantasies.  “I don’t have a f—king OnlyFans, unh, unh, I’m not that type of girl,” she said in response to the question. The singer continued, “So if you have some pictures of me, they was not given to you, babe. I don’t really be sending pictures like that, but my Snapchat was hacked and that’s just that on that. But I don’t really know what to do about that … I wish they was

ShutterstockArtificial intelligence-powered (AI) chatbots are becoming increasingly human-like by design, to the point that some among us may struggle to distinguish between human and machine.This week, Snapchat’s My AI chatbot glitched and posted a story of what looked like a wall and ceiling, before it stopped responding to users. Naturally, the internet began to question whether the ChatGPT-powered chatbot had gained sentience.A crash course in AI literacy could have quelled this confusion. But, beyond that, the incident reminds us that as AI chatbots grow closer to resembling humans, managing their uptake will only get more challenging – and more important.From rules-based to adaptive chatbotsSince ChatGPT burst onto our screens late last year, many digital platforms have integrated AI into their services. Even as I draft this article on Microsoft Word, the software’s predictive AI capability is suggesting possible sentence completions.

It could boost productivity for us – and cybercriminals Known as generative AI, this relatively new type of AI is distinguished from its predecessors by its ability to generate new content that is precise, human-like and seemingly meaningful.Generative AI tools, including AI image generators and chatbots

Earlier this year, Snapchat launched its own conversational chatbot powered by ChatGBT. At the time, Snapchat warned its subscribers that its My AI chatbot, like all AI chatbots, is prone to giving incorrect answers due to "hallucinations." Snapchat told users, "While My AI is designed to avoid biased, incorrect, harmful or misleading information, mistakes may occur As with all AI-powered chatbots, My AI is prone to hallucination and can be tricked into saying just about anything."Snapchat continued, "Please be aware of its many deficiencies, and sorry in advance! All conversations with My AI will be restored and may be reviewed to improve the product experience. Pleases do not share any secrets with My AI and do not rely on it for advice." CNN reported earlier this week that Snapchat users were panicking on Tuesday night after My AI started acting strangely. Typically, My AI answers questions and has conversations with Snapchat users. But on Tuesday night, the My AI feature did things out of character which concerned Snapchat users who thought that the chatbot had become sentient. Among these actions, My AI posted a video story of a wall and a ceiling; typically only humans can create a video
