AI girlfriend ‘can get jealousy and flirt with other people'
A new AI companion named Meo drew attention at London Tech Week (10 June) for offering users a customizable ' girlfriend ' experience.
Created by startup Meta Loop, Meo is designed to combat loneliness through emotional interaction and adjustable traits — including loyalty, flirtation, and even jealousy.
'With AI, you can control loyalty. They don't cheat,' said Meta Loop's Jiang Jiang. 'Sometimes… they flirt, but only if you want them to.'
Some raised ethical concerns. 'A stereotypical man's fantasy,' said visitor Sam Romero. 'Are we making women obsolete now?'

Matthew McConaughey and Emma Roberts ignore A-list star seated between them at runway show in viral clip
and Emma Roberts ignored an A-list star seated between them at the Jacquemus fashion show. During Paris Men's Fashion Week on Sunday, they were deep in conversation while actress Gillian Anderson was sandwiched between them. McConaughey was spotted leaning over Anderson to talk to Roberts, who made a shocked expression as they seemingly talked about something funny, as seen in a TikTok clip posted by Jacquemus. Meanwhile, Anderson had a stoic expression with a slight grin on her face as she sat awkwardly between them. At one point, the Scream Queens star — who channeled her inner ballerina as she modeled a tutu-inspired skirt at the runway show — dramatically dropped her jaw in response to something McConaughey told her. Also in attendance at the show was McConaughey's wife Camila Alves. Lori Harvey, rapper Stormzy, French-Malian singer Aya Nakamura and singer Rema were also front and center at the spectacular runway show.

She was the epitome of class, adding pointy black stilettos as she posed for striking snaps ahead of the runway event.

Brit DJ surprises Glastonbury crowd as he performs exclusive secret set with his son after playing his 100th show at the festival
A beloved English DJ performed a secret set with his son for an intimate crowd at Glastonbury over the weekend. Fatboy Slim - who played his 100th set at the epic festival just over the weekend - treated lucky fans to a vibrant B2B act. The music legend, 61 - whose real name Norman Cook - was joined by his son Woody, 24. An Instagram clip shared by the BBC Radio official account, captured the veteran dad doing his moves behind the deck while Woody bounced around a platform. The internet star - who the singer shares with Zoe Ball - beamed to the cheering crowd and waved his arms cheerfully. Meanwhile the British DJ celebrated a unique milestone after playing his 100th set at Glastonbury, continuing to stun crowds with his tunes. The electronic legend was seen taking on an energetic set at the Luna stage as he lifted his arms in the air inciting the masses. Earlier in May, Woody insisted he has 'sweated his way through the industry'. He said that while he has followed in his famous parents' footsteps and become a DJ, he still put in the work rather than relying on his parents too much. He told new! magazine: 'I definitely felt that way [pressure] at the beginning, but my parents have been really good at putting me out on my own and letting me do it myself. 'I've sweated my way through the industry, I think people started to see that.' Although the ' nepo baby ' name tag has been thrown around, Woody argued it doesn't bother him, and credited his parents' support for his success rather than their jobs. He explained: 'I don't mind. I can't tell you who I'd be without my parents. They gave me the best education ever from them. The electronic legend was seen taking on an energetic set at the Luna stage as he lifted his arms in the air inciting the masses 'They are the most generous, loving, kind, hard-working people on earth, and that's what they've given me. I feel like I owe it all to that.' Woody previously pointed out it's 'not his job to care' what people think about him or his family ties. He told Bang Showbiz: 'Throughout school I was bullied and stuff, sometimes at parties people would say 'Shut up Fatboy's son'. 'It's opened up more doors, people always remember me. 'I'm quite eclectic, I'm quite weird. I share DNA with my parents. I'm always gonna be a bit like them in the end. 'Genetically I'm mildly similar but it's not my job to care. 'I cater to the people who love my music, they f****** love it. My music speaks for itself and I do not have to prove it to anyone.'

Entry-level job numbers have 'dropped by a third since ChatGPT was launched'
The number of new entry-level jobs has fallen by nearly a third since ChatGPT was launched in November 2022, it was reported last night. Openings for apprenticeships, graduate roles, internships and junior roles with no requirement for a degree fell by 31.9 per cent, according to The Times. Research by jobs search website Adzuna found that entry-level vacancies only make up a quarter of the overall jobs market, which is down by nearly 4 per cent since 2022. It comes as more companies outline their plans to use AI to reduce their headcount. BT said in May 2023 that 10,000 jobs would be replaced by artificial intelligence by the end of the decade. The roles impacted include call handling and network diagnostics. Its chief executive Allison Kirkby has claimed that advances in AI could result in even more job cuts at the company. Dario Amodei, head of $61billion AI start-up Anthropic, last month warned that the technology could cut half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years. He said this could increase unemployment by between up to 20 per cent. James Neave, the head of data science at Adzuna, said AI was a major factor in the reduction of entry-level jobs. 'If you can reduce your hiring at the entry level, that's just going to increase your efficiency and improve cost savings,' he said. Businesses are facing increasing costs including rises in national insurance contributions and the national minimum wage. The number of entry-level roles fell again by 4.2 per cent in May. Experts predict a 50-50 chance machines could take over all our jobs within a century. But a poll of 16,000 workers last year found many employees believe AI could do it already. Nearly half admitted the technology can outperform them in 'routine tasks' – while also paying better attention to detail. The 'jobs apocalypse' is expected to see admin and entry-level roles first – but will increasingly affect those higher paid as it becomes more sophisticated. The Future of Work Report by jobs website Indeed found just one in three respondents were confident AI would have a positive impact on their role. The majority however – nine in ten – felt confident they would be able to adapt to the changes over the next five years. Workers told how much of their day-to-day responsibilities were already ripe for automation – with three in five saying that AI can carry out data analysis better than humans. Routine tasks (48%) and attention to detail (45%) were other tasks where workers felt AI had the upper hand. While repetitive jobs are well-suited to AI, workers said they still felt confident they were better in critical thinking, creativity and emotional intelligence. Asked which jobs are most likely to be untouched by AI in a decade's time, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Chief Economist, Barret Kupelian said people should look to traditional trades - with roles plumbers, electricians and decorators He explained: 'It appears to me that jobs that require a quite a lot of manual labour...I don't think the technology is skilled there, in terms of augmenting those skills.' The PwC spokesman said that roles that require 'a high degree of judgement and creativity' are also unlikely to be able to be automated any time soon because they require 'bespoke skills that are quite difficult to replicate on a digital basis.' The IMF warned that, even where AI's effects are positive, computer automation is likely to drive wealth inequality. Highly paid professions will see AI boost their wages while lower paid roles are at a significant risk of pay cuts and lay-offs. A study by the IMF found that clerical workers such as secretaries and clerks are very likely to be replaced by AI because most of their could be done by machines. However, it is clerical support workers and technical service roles that are most likely to be replaced by AI. Professionals and managers, although they are very likely to be impacted by AI, are more likely to be impacted positively. These findings echo a previous study from the Department for Education which found that white-collar professionals were most likely to be replaced by AI. The study found that accountants, consultants, and psychologists were among the professions most likely to be pushed aside by computers.
