The AI model business is booming, and Lexi Love is only the latest example. Love recently made international news headlines, with her creators, UK-based startup, Foxy AI, claiming that she generated around $30,000 (approximately Rs 24 lakhs) in monthly subscriptions, and that she has already gotten over 20 marriage proposals, despite only being active since June 2023.
Apparently, Lexi owes her success to the fact that she was designed as more than just a pretty face and amazing body, as she is able to "flirt, laugh, and adapt to different personalities, interests, and preferences."
Lexi's creators claim that she was designed to be a "perfect girlfriend for many men" with "flawless features and impeccable style," and her massive success in such a short period of time is a testament to the potential of a very lucrative, albeit controversial industry. On the Foxy AI website, Lexi Love appears as a 21-year-old "sushi addict and pole dancing pro." Her hobbies include yoga and beach volleyball.

US state has a special message for extraterrestrial visitors who may want to visit our blue planet
A Kentucky city has come up with an out-of-this-world campaign to promote tourism. The Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau used an infrared laser to beam a message into space to invite extraterrestrial travelers. "The first thing you'll notice as you descend through Earth's atmosphere above Central Kentucky is the lush green countryside that surrounds Lexington's vibrant city center. That's our famous bluegrass," the message begins. It goes on to describe gentle rolling hills, horse farms and bourbon before suggesting places to stay and eat and shop. The idea for the campaign came from recent UFO revelations and advances in deep space imaging that have fueled the belief that we are not alone in the universe, the visitors' bureau said in a statement this month announcing the move.

A Kansas couple has been charged with fraudulently collecting more than $2,15,000 (R1.78 crore) in retirement benefits on behalf of a dead relative while they concealed his body inside their home for six years. Mike Carroll's pacemaker showed that he died in 2016 at age 81, but Overland Park police didn't discover his body until 2022 after his son-in-law, Kirk Ritter, called police to report his death. Prosecutors say Lynn Ritter and Kirk Ritter, both 61, continued depositing and spending from Carroll's bank account even while his body became "mummified".
