AI-generated food images are increasingly appearing in restaurant, café and brand marketing, but their warped sandwiches, tangled noodles and hole-ridden burritos are often more likely to repel customers than whet their appetites. Experts say the disturbing results stem from a combination of technical limitations, flawed training material and the way people instinctively recognise potential signs of spoiled or contaminated food. Many image generators use diffusion models, which begin with visual noise and gradually refine it into a finished picture. Chris Russell, a professor of AI, government and policy at the University of Oxford, said these systems recover broad shapes before…

Jamieson Greer, the US Trade Representative, said Britain had failed to make full use of the freedom created by Brexit by maintaining close ties with EU rules while keeping its market relatively closed to American goods. In an interview with the Financial Times, Mr Greer described the UK’s approach as a “problem” for negotiations aimed at expanding the economic agreement reached between Washington and London. He said the United…

Brazil’s richest 0.1% increased their share of national income to a record 13.1% in 2024, according to analysis of tax returns, highlighting the limits of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s efforts to reduce inequality. The findings offer a counterpoint to Lula’s argument that falling inequality, stronger employment and expanded social programmes have ensured that economic gains are reaching poorer Brazilians as he prepares to seek re-election in October. Researcher Sergio Gobetti’s estimates show that the share of income held by the wealthiest 0.1% rose from 10.2% in 2020. The figures are based on detailed income-tax declarations, which capture investment…
