Spanish Ad Agency Creates A Model Using AI and "SHE" Earns $11,000 a month - Stunning Picture Of No One
[YahooFinance]
  • Aitana López is an AI-generated creation by a Spanish agency that grew tired of booking real models.

  • López can make just over 1,000 euros, or $1,090, per advert and is featured in images on Fanvue.

  • Fanvue's CEO previously told Insider that AI-generated characters would thrive and become common.

A Spanish modeling agency said it's created the country's first AI influencer, who can earn up to 10,000 euros, or $11,000, a month as a model.

Euronews reported the news, based on an interview with Rubeñ Cruz, founder of the Barcelona-based modeling agency The Clueless, which created the influencer.

The AI-generated woman, Aitana López, is a pink-haired 25-year-old. Her account has amassed 124,000 followers on Instagram.

Cruz told Euronews he decided to design López after having trouble working with real models and influencers. "We started analyzing how we were working and realized that many projects were being put on hold or canceled due to problems beyond our control. Often it was the fault of the influencer or model and not due to design issues," he said.

"We did it so that we could make a better living and not be dependent on other people who have egos, who have manias, or who just want to make a lot of money by posing," he added.

At the time of publication, 56 photos had been shared on López's Instagram account. Images of her dressed in lingerie have also been posted on Fanvue, a subscription platform similar to OnlyFans.

Her most recent Instagram Stories show her drinking cocktails on a night out and going to the gym. The agency created the images using Photoshop.

Cruz said she was created with a "personality" and "based on what society likes most," per Euronews.

She is described as a "strong and determined woman," and "a passionate Scorpio," with a love for video games and fitness, in a post on agency's website.

She can make just over 1,000 euros per advert and earns anywhere from 3,000 euros to 10,000 euros a month.

Britain
Net migration to UK hits record high - New Conservatives group of more than 20 MPs says surge in numbers represents existential threat to party
[Telegraph] Net migration has hit a record high, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

It is estimated to have hit 745,000 in the year to last December, revised figures show. The previous estimate for the year had been 606,000, but the ONS has since raised this in light of "unexpected patterns" in the behaviour of migrants.

The new figures also reveal that net migration to the UK stood at a provisional 672,000 in the year to June 2023, up from 607,000 in the previous 12 months.

The June 2023 figure is nearly three times the pre-Brexit average of 200,000 to 250,000 a year, and blows apart the Government’s 2019 manifesto pledge to bring down the overall rate of net migration from its then level of 226,000.

The surge in net migration has contributed to the biggest annual increase in the population in England and Wales since 1962, a peak year for baby boomers. According to the ONS, the population rose by 578,000, or one per cent, to 60.2 million in the year to mid-2022.

"Unlike in 1962, when the increase in population was largely because of a high number of births, the population increase in mid-2022 is mostly driven by an increase in net international migration," said the ONS.

The surge has been fuelled by 1.4 million migrants, primarily from outside the EU, granted visas to enter the UK to study, work or escape conflict or oppression. The ONS estimated that 508,000 people emigrated.

The figures will intensify pressure on Rishi Sunak to introduce radical new measures to reduce the number of workers and their dependants being granted visas to live and work in the UK.

In a statement, the New Conservatives group of more than 20 MPs said that the surge in net migration represented an existential threat to the party and demanded an emergency package of measures to reduce it.

"High rates of immigration depress wages, reduce investment in skills and technology, put unsustainable pressure on housing and public services, and threaten community cohesion," they said.

"The word ’existential’ has been used a lot in recent days but this really is do or die for our party. Each of us made a promise to the electorate. We don’t believe that such promises can be ignored.

"The Government must propose, today, a comprehensive package of measures to meet the manifesto promise by the time of the next election. We will assess any such package and report publicly on whether it will meet the promise made to the electorate.

"The Prime Minister, Chancellor, and new Home Secretary must show that they stand by the promises on which we were elected to Parliament. We must act now."

A Prediction from 1958 – The Fall of America (video)
Armstrong Economics.

Robert Henry Winborne Welch Jr. (December 1, 1899 – January 6, 1985) was an American businessman, political organizer, and conspiracy theorist.[1] He was wealthy following his retirement from the candy business and used his wealth to sponsor anti-communist causes. He co-founded the John Birch Society (JBS), an American extreme right-wing political advocacy group,[2] in 1958 and tightly controlled it until his death. He was highly controversial and criticized by liberals, as well as some mainstream conservatives, including William F. Buckley Jr.

Government Corruption
Pfizer Failed To Disclose Risks Of Preterm Birth And Neonatal Death To Pregnant Women In RSV Vaccine Trial
[ZERO] Even though Pfizer knew about the potential safety signal and was studying preterm births as an "adverse event of special interest," it continued to enroll women in its clinical trial and did not fully inform participants of the risks the vaccine may pose to their babies—and in some cases, provided misleading and contradictory statements, according to an investigation by The BMJ.

"The BMJ article demonstrates Pfizer’s continued disregard for the law and patient choice," attorney Thomas Renz told The Epoch Times in an email. "The entire point of informed consent is to ensure a patient can make a decision based on all available information. Rather than embracing the Nuremberg Code and American laws and regulations, Pfizer seems to view informed consent as a barrier to sales—something that causes vaccine hesitancy or drug hesitancy."

"There should have never been a clinical trial in pregnant women studying any injections aimed at RSV in pregnant women," Sasha Latypova told The Epoch Times in an email. "Pregnancy and potential to become pregnant is historically the most protected class of human subjects from clinical research because the risks and potential to cause inadvertent harm are too devastating to justify scientific interest in made-up subjects like RSV."

Ms. Latypova is a retired pharmaceutical industry executive with 25 years of experience in pharmaceutical research and development and co-founder of several organizations that work with pharmaceutical companies to design, execute, collect data, and submit clinical trial data to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

According to Ms. Latypova, what was once considered a harmless cold has since been rebranded as RSV.

"The vast majority of parents have not heard of RSV if they have not been exposed to CDC fear-mongering and renaming of otherwise harmless common colds. The incidence or prevalence of RSV is not known precisely because it poses no danger to anyone," Ms. Latypova said. "In the U.S., RSV is attributed as a cause of death to about 17 infants per year out of 4,000,000+ babies—based on a review of 12 years' worth of death certificates."

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), RSV is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. Although most people recover in a week or two, it can be serious and is more commonly diagnosed in infants.

Both GSK and Pfizer were developing an RSV vaccine for pregnant women, but GSK halted its phase 3 vaccine trial in February 2022 over a possible increased risk of preterm births and neonatal deaths in vaccinated participants.

The Errors, The Lie, and The Cover-Up in Georgia's 2020 Election – PART II
[Gateway] Summary - As noted in the first article in this series, after the 2020 Election a Risk Limiting Audit (RLA) was carried out by Georgia’s Secretary of State’s (SOS’s) Office.

Thanks to the efforts of Georgian Joseph Rossi, 36 errors were found in the Fulton County data in the RLA report posted on the SOS website.

Rossi doggedly went after those in authority in the state to review his data. He was turned down and ignored numerous times. But eventually after a series of events, Rossi was able to get these errors in front of members of Governor Kemp’s office.

Governor Kemp and team, although he was not in charge of state elections, were the only government agency (Not the SOS, Not the AG, Not the SEB), that listened and took action when errors were pointed out to them. This is an important fact as he put a team of four individuals on the 36 errors identified by Rossi and they spent 8 weeks confirming Rossi’s work. They essentially did the work that the SOS should have done a year earlier.

As a result of Rossi’s work, the Georgia State Elections Board (SEB) initiated an investigation into the Fulton County data from the RLA report. This investigation was labeled SEB2021-181. Eventually the SEB identified violations and errors in the recounts of the 2020 Election in Fulton County.

Also, another complaint for Fulton County was filed July 8, 2022. The complaint specifically called out 3125 duplicate ballot counts and 17,852 votes counted that do not have a corresponding ballot image. This complaint resulted in the creation of investigation SEB2023-25. This investigation is complete and the results of this investigation will be presented to the SEB on December 19, 2023. This complaint has been categorized by the Board as "violations found."

Today’s article will show that the SOS’s office lied about the accuracy of the recounts in Georgia.

Our third article will show that with their backs to the wall post-Governor Kemp’s validation letter from November 17, 2021 — the SOS’s office, the AG’s office, and the Georgia SEB worked and continue to work to this day to exonerate the SOS of any responsibility for these numerous errors and violations.

And, by the way, there is also an open inquiry before the Georgia SEB (SEBBI2023-001), regarding Election Code Violations committed by the SOS.

#1  The idea that Trump somehow lost Georgia in the 2020 election remains well beyond preposterous.

#2  The Georgia Secretary of State is an elected official responsible for overseeing the state’s elections and maintaining the state’s voter registration system1. In the 2020 United States presidential election, the then-Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was responsible for certifying the election results in Georgia.

#3  Still waiting to see the official report on the 4,000+ pre-printed & still boxed GA ballots found by the Atlanta Airport rental car worker.

Boxes, left by the Stacy Abrams Campaign staffer's in his rental car when he returned to NY.

Boxes, that were even reported in the AJC (Atlanta's #1 Newspaper) & WSB (Atlanta's #1 TV station).

Boxes, which were officially confiscated by the Atlanta PD & GA Bureau Of Investigation .

#6  I would love to wait and see the results of an honest audit by Raffensperger. If everything is on the up and up, there should be no problem with an audit. And if things are not on the up and up, he should be the first person to want to clean things up (which an audit would reveal.)
