Last month, the U.S. Social Security Administration released its annual list of most popular baby names in 2024, and two names were also on the list for Google searches. These were Theodore, which was fourth top boy name, Amelia, which was the third top girl name. It seems to show that these Google searches are translating to parents actually choosing these names.

Post Truth Becomes The First AI-generated Film Released in Theaters
By GlobeNewswire Published on July 15, 2025, 03:41 IST Istanbul, Turkiye, July 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Post Truth, the first AI documentary of its kind, has officially entered cinematic history as the first fully AI-generated feature-length film ever to receive a commercial theatrical release. Alkan Avcıoğlu Photo The relationship between AI and cinema continues to spark debate, but until now, no AI-generated film had secured a traditional distribution and wide theatrical release. That changed with Post Truth, directed by pioneering artist Alkan Avcıoğlu. Distributed by Başka Sinema, Turkey's leading distributor for independent and arthouse cinema; the film opened on July 11 across 58 locations, marking an ambitious rollout for one of the most talked-about experimental projects of the year. The English-language film, with a runtime of 102 minutes, has already garnered critical acclaim. The critical prejudice against AI films remains, but Avcıoğlu's Post Truth has broken through with its conceptual depth, receiving rave reviews. Press interest has been substantial, and the film is attracting attention from festivals. Described as 'a fake film about the real world,' Post Truth examines how society has arrived at a moment where truth and reality no longer matter. 'At a time when the AI & cinema conversation is dominated by sensationalism, I chose to go in the opposite direction with a documentary,' said the director: 'In a world where so much is staged and fake, what could better represent our postmodern reality than synthetic images?' The visuals, music, and voice fully created through artificial intelligence for the project. The script was co-written with multidisciplinary artist Vikki Bardot over the course of two years and 42 drafts, drawing inspiration from Baudrillard's philosophy and weaving in intertextual references to film history. The final work emerged from over 60 hours of AI-generated footage and more than 1,000 AI-composed tracks, all influenced by Avcıoğlu's distinctive style and body of work. 'To ensure cinematic quality, he scaled the production volume far beyond what's typical in traditional filmmaking,' said Bardot, who also co-produced the film through Spongeworthy Studio. Post Truth is expected to have its international premiere this fall, as global attention continues to build for this milestone in the evolution of cinematic storytelling.

Google Photos AI Remix: Are Your Memories Still Real?
Google Photos is prepping a new AI-powered feature that can turn still images into moving videos. SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Google Photos is developing a new 'Remix' feature that turns still photos into AI videos. Remix prioritizes fun and ease of use over creative control The feature raises concerns over how we view our memories. Google Photos is primed to significantly change the way we interact with our memories, thanks to an experimental new AI-powered 'Remix' feature that will let you transform any still images into entertaining video clips using AI. While this sounds like a fun new way to enjoy our photos, for me, it also raises questions about the authenticity of our memories and whether such a feature is really appropriate for Google Photos. Early signs of the Remix feature were first spotted in the Google Photos app a couple of months ago, focused mainly on transforming photos into various artistic styles, but now a new report from Android Authority , reveals Google's demo of a new image-to-video function, suggesting that the feature is getting closer to release. Google's Remix feature turns still images into fun videos with AI. GOOGLE/ANDROID AUTHORITY The demo video, unearthed by software sleuth AssembleDebug , shows a still image of a cute dog, accompanied by two human friends in the park. Remix then transforms this image into a celebration including natural movements from all three participants, with the addition of applause and falling confetti. Introductory text below the clip states, 'Simply choose a photo, pick a fun prompt to apply, and see your photo transform,' displayed above a large 'Try now' button implying that Google is preparing to introduce the new Remix feature to users imminently. According to previous discoveries reported on by Android Authority , these 'fun prompts' will include 'Subtle Movements, ' 'Go Wild,' and 'I'm Feeling Lucky,' suggesting that users will have only limited control over the videos they create. With the Pixel 10-series launch just weeks away, the release of Remix could be strategically timed to showcase the capabilities of Google's latest Pixel devices. However, there's nothing in the code to suggest when, or for whom, the feature will eventually become available. Perhaps it will launch as a Pixel 10 exclusive, or for Google One subscribers only: we'll have to wait and see. Not The Same As Gemini's Veo 3 Image-To-Video? Google adds image-to-video capabilities to Gemini for Gemini Pro and Gemini Ultra subscribers GOOGLE Remix appears, at first glance, to offer similar functionality to other image-to-video AI applications, including the version powered by Google's own Veo 3 model, recently made available to Gemini Pro and Gemini Ultra subscribers in the Gemini app. However, there seem to be some important differences between the two, not least being the fact that Veo 3 allows you to type any text prompt you like when generating a video rather than forcing you to pick from a list. Veo 3 can also generate audio for your AI clips, something which isn't mentioned as a feature of Remix. However, I think Remix's inherent limitations could be vital in maintaining Google Photos' core usage as a place for storing, reliving and sharing memories. Is Google Photos the right place for AI Video? Google has a history of using the latest available technologies, including AI, to enhance and repurpose the photos and videos in our libraries by automatically-generating animations and short videos and collating our most interesting memories into 'Moments.' However, the Remix feature appears to take things a step further by encouraging users to turn their photos into videos of moments that never actually happened. I feel Google Photos should be a place for storing real memories rather than a platform for creating synthetic content. Google Photos is pretty good at separating out different types of content, such as screenshots and documents, so it's reasonable to hope it will do the same with AI-generated videos. However, if Remix AI-videos start appearing in Google's automatically-generated 'Moments,' I think we'll have a problem — especially if they become difficult to distinguish from reality. Remix runs the risk of blurring the lines between genuine memories and what many would consider 'AI slop.' I'm sure there's plenty of fun to be had in sharing short AI-generated clips, but I wouldn't want them clogging up my photo library. Much will depend on the details of how Google implements Remix and how Google Photos curates these AI videos alongside our genuine photos and videos. Would you use Remix?

Olivia Culpo welcomes first baby with Christian McCaffrey. ‘Look at the grip'
Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey are officially a family of three. The superstar couple, who celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary on June 29, took to Instagram on July 13 to announce the birth of their first baby together. In the caption, Culpo revealed the name of her newborn baby girl: Colette Annalise McCaffrey. Colette, a shortened form of Nicolette meaning 'victory of the people' in Greek (via Nicholas), has been listed in the Social Security Administration's (SSA) top 1,000 every year since 2012. It most recently ranked 400th in the U.S. with 789 recorded births in 2024, per the SSA. But, in the eyes of Culpo and McCaffrey, Colette is one-of-one. 'Luckiest man on the planet,' McCaffrey, a running back for the San Francisco 49ers, wrote next to a photo of him and Colette on his Instagram Stories. 'The scariest and most rewarding of all experiences,' Culpo wrote in an Instagram story of her own. 'As soon as (McCaffrey) came into the room I felt most at peace. Look at the grip.' In a separate story, Culpo praised McCaffrey as the 'best daddy in the world.' Many of the couple's close friends and colleagues took to the comment section to congratulate them on the new arrival. 'Oh sweet girl you are so loved already. Welcome to the world angel. Love y'all so much,' wrote Natalie Stewart, the wife of retired running back Jonathan Stewart. 'Congratulations!!!! so happy!' added Morgan Romano, who was crowned Miss USA in 2022. 'Colette you have no idea how loved you are already! The luckiest little lady with two of the best to call mom & dad LOVE YOU ALL!!!' wrote Kathleen Messier, who married McCaffrey's brother, Max, in June. Culpo has 'been dreaming of this' moment for a long time Culpo, a former Miss USA and Miss Universe winner, revealed her pregnancy in March on Instagram with a black-and-white photo showing off her baby bump in a dress. 'Next chapter, motherhood,' she wrote in the caption on March 10. In an interview with People, published March 26, Culpo opened up about what she's looking forward to as a first-time mom. 'I'm so excited and grateful to be pregnant. I've been dreaming of this for a long time,' she said at the time. 'It's very special.' One of the things she was looking forward to the most was making 'traditions' with her new family. 'It is fun growing your family with someone that you really love and just being able to see Christian as a dad will be really exciting,' she told People. 'I just know he's going to be such a good partner and husband and father,' she added. 'I can't wait to see him step into that role. It will just be unlike any other experience.' On May 18, the couple took to Instagram to share a video of gender predictions from their baby shower. 'I am your mom and I have no idea what you are. I thought you were a boy, now everyone thinks you're a girl, so I think you're a girl, but watch you be a boy,' Culpo said at the start of the video. 'I'm your dad and I think you're going to be a boy,' McCaffrey added in the next clip. One month later, the couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary — two weeks before their baby's birth. 'One year down, with something new, Soon it's more than just us two,' Culpo wrote in a caption on Instagram. 'Best day ever, best year ever… happy anniversary to the love of my life. So so thankful.' McCaffrey and Culpo sparked dating rumors in 2019 and went Instagram official later that year. The couple got engaged in 2023, per People, and tied the knot on June 29, 2024. And now they have a baby.
