Taylor Swift broke Google Search with cryptic clues about her new album

She's re-releasing 1989, so we're about to get Taylor's Version of Shake It off, Blank Space, Style, and Bad Blood, as well as some previously un-released songs which she's calling "from the vault". 

Taylor teased in an Instagram post: "you can tell me when the search is over, if the high was worth the pain". The Swifties figured out that if you Googled Taylor Swift, there were 89 word puzzles giving clues to the names of the tracks. If the puzzles were solved 33 million times (Taylor is 33), then they'd be revealed. 

Google was so overwhelmed they had to shut the puzzles down for a bit, but they got them back and the job is done - Taylor has now revealed the track names. Phew! 


Facebook's AI play is celebrity themed chatbots 

When you use "Meta AI" on Facebook you'll get to interact with themed chatbots that look and sound like celebrities you'll know:
Snoop Dogg will be “Dungeon Master”, who will assist users to play adventure games.
Kylie Jenner will be “Billie”, a “big sis” referred to as a “ride-or-die companion”.
Naomi Osaka will be “Tamika” an anime-obsessed bot.

They want AI to be more about entertainment than fact. Meta says they've put lots of guardrails to steer away from sensitive topics.
