Elon Musk reveals ‘Valentine', a fantasy-themed AI companion
Users of the Grok chatbot on X, Musk's social media platform, can now choose to have text conversations with the new male figure, his flirty female counterpart named Ani, or an anthropomorphised red panda called Bad Rudi.
In an image shared by Musk, Valentine appears as an anime-style drawing with dark grey hair and a suit, wearing a stern expression.
'His personality is inspired by Edward Cullen from Twilight and Christian Grey from 50 Shades,' Musk posted on X on Wednesday.
In another post he explained that the character was named after Valentine Michael Smith, the protagonist of Robert A Heinlein's 1961 science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land.

Praying mantis hides in plain sight in mind-bending optical illusion - can you spot it in 20 seconds?
A mind-bending photo taken in a rain-soaked patch of grass has left social media users scratching their heads as they try to spot the master of disguise hidden among the greenery in 20 seconds. At first glance, the image looks like nothing more than a tangle of slick green stems and tiny white flowers. But look a little closer – and you might notice something astonishing lurking in plain sight. Somewhere in the chaos is a praying mantis, perfectly camouflaged with its slender lime-green body and delicate limbs blending seamlessly into its surroundings. Praying mantises are known for their stealth and camouflage, often mimicking leaves and twigs to avoid predators and sneak up on unsuspecting prey. This particular mantis appears to have nailed the assignment – turning a simple patch of weeds into an optical illusion. So, how fast did you spot it? Or are you still staring? Spoiler: It's just right of center, nestled vertically along a blade of grass - but even when you know where to look, it's easy to miss. But don't go anywhere yet! This next brain teaser takes you on a trek through a lush, green jungle filled with flowing streams, towering trees and thick foliage. At first glance, it may seem like just a peaceful forest scene but look closer. Somewhere in this vivid landscape, a wild animal is cleverly concealed. Your mission? Find the hidden creature in under 10 seconds. This optical illusion is more than just a pretty picture - it's a challenge designed to test your observation skills and attention to detail. Do you have the sharp eyes it takes to spot what others might miss? Only the most eagle-eyed viewers will succeed. If you're still scanning the scene, don't worry - you're not alone. It's a tricky one, and giving too many hints would spoil the fun. So take another look. The animal is there, hiding in plain sight. Can you find it before the clock runs out? Have you managed to spot the hidden animal yet? Or is it still eluding your gaze? If you're hoping for a clue, look in between the long, thin tree trunks, and you might just spot a four-legged friend. Don't follow the creek upstream. Instead, look toward the dirt road and see where the path takes you. This illusion is a perfect reminder that sometimes, what we think we see blinds us to what's actually there. So, did you beat the clock? Check below to see if you were correct. But don't go anywhere just yet! We have another brain teaser that will blow your mind. Optical illusions challenge the brain by forcing it to process information in unexpected ways, improving cognitive flexibility and visual perception. They help enhance focus and attention to detail, as you have to carefully observe and interpret visual cues. Regularly solving optical illusions also promotes brain health by keeping the mind sharp and active, potentially staving off cognitive decline as you age.

Welcome to the Tesla diner. Would you like a hat with that?
Long ago in Los Angeles, the booming city was dotted with weird and wonderful buildings designed to be irresistible to hungry motorists. It was the burgeoning age of the automobile in southern California, and eclectic structures shaped like hot dogs and doughnuts used neon signs to beckon hungry drivers in for a quick meal. Now a new era of spectacular drive-in diners has arrived — or at least one of them has. Elon Musk unveiled the new Tesla Diner in Hollywood last week, promising that if the 'retro-futuristic' restaurant was successful he would establish them in cities around the world. 'An island of good food, good vibes and entertainment,' is how the world's richest man described his latest venture. The diner opened on Monday, marking Tesla's first foray into the restaurant business. • Elon Musk warns of 'rough' times for Tesla after worst quarter in a decade Customers lined up around the block on Santa Monica Boulevard to sample what the diner has to offer. The crowds were still there when I visited on Thursday afternoon, enduring an almost two-hour wait in the sun, and entertained by The Jetsons playing on a big screen. A worker said the 24-hour diner had been packed until 2am. Inside, the diner delivers on Musk's futuristic promise. A circular entrance resembles a spaceship corridor, and a sweeping counter allows diners to sit with a view of the kitchen staff busy making food. The ambient lighting has an Art Deco design. Food is ordered on touch screens and comes in mini Tesla-shaped boxes, resembling the vehicles that the company is traditionally associated with selling. A hot dog costs $13, fries $4 and a few rashers of 'epic' bacon $12. The Tesla hamburger costs $13.50. If a high-end drive-in can succeed anywhere, it is surely here. Not everyone was a fan, however. A driver speeding past repeatedly yelled, 'f*** Tesla'. The culture that produced Los Angeles drive-in diners goes back a century, according to Kim Cooper, a preservationist who runs the Esotouric tour guide company with her husband, Richard Schave. In the 1920s, the growing city was filled with empty lots. Programmatic architecture, or buildings that look like things, became popular. Business owners realised that if their restaurant was shaped like a burger or a tamale (a traditional snack popular in Mexico and Central America), it had a better chance of attracting passing trade, Cooper said. Being home to Hollywood helped. 'It came out of the motion picture industry. Studio carpenters knew how to make these wacky, prop-type buildings that would last a little while,' Cooper said. 'They weren't meant to be permanent.' By the 1940s, Los Angeles was a 24-hour city, busy building material for the war. Factory workers coming off shift at all hours needed places to go for food or to see a movie. By the time the 1960s had arrived, drive-ins were places to hang out. 'People drove from place to place to show off their cars. There was a lot of peacocking,' Cooper said, adding that the Beach Boys were born of this cruising culture. As well as the music of Brian Wilson, Los Angeles can thank Hollywood for exporting the seductive image of the diner around the world. Films including Grease and Pulp Fiction have prominently featured drive-ins and diners. Eventually, the quirky buildings thrown up by Hollywood craftsmen as a side job began to show their age. As the 1980s rolled around, they became run down and some were demolished, the land they occupied now eyed up by property developers. The drive-through replaced the drive-in because it was quicker and more convenient, both key advantages in a faster-paced world. Some treasures survive, however. Norms, a 24-hour coffee shop on La Cienega Boulevard, opened in 1957 and remains a classic example of Googie architecture — a style influenced by the atomic age: The Bob's Big Boy restaurant in Burbank, meanwhile, was built in 1949. The towering red neon sign is a local landmark: 'The ones that have survived are very precious because they are high-concept architecture,' Cooper said. 'They're really cathedrals — they're pop cathedrals.' Adam Chandler, the author of Drive-Thru Dreams: A Journey Through the Heart of America's Fast-Food Kingdom, said drive-ins were popular across the country, but especially in Los Angeles. 'They had a magic in California, in part because the weather is so conducive to drive-ins year-round,' he said. Route 66 ends in Los Angeles, Chandler notes, and California was the ultimate prize for America's sweep westwards. 'The idea of mobility is really wrapped up in this image of California,' he added. This nostalgia could mean success for Tesla's diner. 'It points to a time when things seemed a lot simpler,' Chandler said. 'You'd socialise by being out in the world, driving, it was a statement of independence. In lots of ways, people are thirsty for the analogue world where you drive out and see people and engage with people. 'It's much different now in the digital space. People connect and don't necessarily have the same kinds of relationships that they did in chance encounters when you'd go to popular spots and run into people.' That is why 'the emergence of more third places is a good thing,' Chandler said, referring to spaces that are not the home or workplace. If the Tesla Diner's early success does not lead to a fresh wave of similar restaurants, the allure of the LA drive-in will still endure, he thinks. 'You can put the top down because our weather is fantastic,' Cooper said. 'You can go from place to place at night, listen to music and yell at the car next to you and have an adventure that you can't have anywhere else. 'And you feel like an Angeleno. I think everybody wants that.'

Vatican turns to ‘hot priests' to spread faith in the digital age
If it weren't for the dog collar, the robes and occasional background of a church, one would be forgiven for thinking, judging by his Instagram profile, that Father Ambrogio Mazzai was a fitness influencer rather than a man of faith. Pictures of him playing the guitar or biking in the mountains have animated a following who are presumably just as interested in the good word as they are in his good looks. 'What a beautiful guy our Father is!' wrote one follower on Father Mazzai's account. 'You are very beautiful and very elegant!' said another. While some puritans might sniff at the idea that religion needs to be made cool to have modern appeal, a group of priests including Father Mazzai are using social media to make a powerful case to the contrary. He shares photos and videos with his 460,000 followers on TikTok and Instagram almost every day and counts Matteo Salvini, Italy's deputy prime minister, among his fans. 'It started by chance in 2021 on the suggestion of a young man in my parish. I didn't think it was a good idea,' said Father Mazzai. 'I never imagined that it could have such a big impact.' Next week, a thousand digital missionaries and influencers from around the world will meet in Rome (July 28-29) to discuss the role of social media in the church as part of the Vatican's jubilee year. The missionaries will look at TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, apps and blogs, and how social media can promote outreach and ensure the survival of a church suffering from declining numbers. Francis X Rocca, the Vatican editor of EWTN News, said social media is vital for the church's future and stressed that young Catholics would continue to drive change. 'It's not going to be the Vatican office of communications or some diocese that is going to generate the most innovation in this area,' he said. 'But there are a lot of young people, some of whom are coming to Rome, who are experimenting and they will be the vanguard.' It was Pope Francis who saw social media as an essential communication tool and made it a priority for the church in the 21st century. In 2020 alone, the late pope's social media content was viewed over 27 billion times. His successor Pope Leo XIV, an avid user of social media, has 14 million Instagram followers and more than 52 million followers across nine languages on his @Pontifex X account. Yet, for other members of the clergy whose names don't carry the same star power, a handsome photo goes a long way. Father Giuseppe Fusari is a rugged-looking 58-year old priest in the northern city of Brescia with a bulging set of muscles and 60,000 followers on Instagram. Dubbed 'the bodybuilder priest', Father Fusari gets his fair share of love heart emojis – and compliments about his sermons. He said most of his followers were aged between 25 and 55, and many were disillusioned with religion. 'I hope it will bring people closer to the church, there is a lot of curiosity and I am convinced that social media is one way to attract people,' he said. Although some priests have had pushback from their superiors against publishing photos of them at the beach or the gym and have their fair share of critics, the response from other church members has been largely positive, those interviewed for this article said. It's even opened debate about whether today's fashion can exist with the church's traditional conservatism. One follower of Father Fusari asks: 'Without any judgment, aren't you against tattoos? I have one, I really regret having done it 30 years ago, because the Lord said 'you shall not tattoo your skin'.... What do you think? God bless you.' Father Fusari replies: 'There's no dogma, I'm sorry. And it's no different: the church has never spoken out against tattoos, neither with documents nor with dogmas. But you're free to think as you wish.' While there's no official data yet on whether the online push has translated to church visitor numbers, Father Cosimo Schena from the San Francesco parish in Brindisi, told the Italian daily Corriere della Sera the numbers in his church had doubled since he started using Facebook and TikTok.
