Claim: “Elon Musk has announced his first robot girlfriend, with artificial intelligence.” (Facebook, 2024-08-10)
Evidence (2023-05-19): Elon Musk is one of the critics of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and says that AI poses danger to society. Ever since technology companies rolled out AI models with the ability to create images from text inputs, there have been scores of AI-generated images online. Many of these photos are of celebrities like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Pope Francis, among others. [...] A Twitter user Daniel Marven, has shared four photos of Musk in which the billionaire is seen kissing female robots. The tweet, in which these photos are shared, mentions that the images have been made with AI with the "personality and the characteristics of the female that he dreams of." Elon Musk is not building a robot wife"Elon Musk announces the future wife who is she? It is the first robot that has been manufactured specifically designed with artificial intelligence with the personality and the characteristics of the female that he dreams of…which is not found in any normal person, because of course, there is no normal person that has all the required specifications," the tweet reads. But it goes on to clarify that these are not real images, but are AI generated.
Claim: “Elon Musk has announced his first robot girlfriend, with artificial intelligence.” (Facebook, 2024-08-10)
Evidence (2024-05-02): Between the fact that the image originated with a user who falsely uses large media outlets for credibility, and that Snopes could find no evidence this post existed, we strongly believe the screenshot is fake. This is not the first time someone falsely has connected Musk with robotic women — Snopes fact-checked an AI-generated image of Musk with a "robot wife" back in May 2023.

Evidence (2021-08-20): Elon Musk said Thursday night at Tesla’s AI Day that the company is building a humanoid robot, and will probably have a prototype next year.

[...] Musk said at AI Day that Tesla wanted to show it’s more than an electric car company. Several of his employees gave presentations touting Tesla’s expertise in artificial intelligence, which is critical for developing self-driving cars or a humanoid robot.

Evidence (2024-08-16): PTC News Desk: A recent Facebook post has circulated an image purportedly showing Elon Musk dining with a "robot girlfriend," but this image is actually an AI-generated creation. The post features a photo of Musk seated at a restaurant table next to a woman with blonde hair and a gray robotic body, accompanied by a caption claiming Musk has introduced his first AI-powered robot girlfriend. [...] The August 10 Facebook post reads: "Elon Musk has announced his first robot girlfriend, with artificial intelligence. Musk said he took her out to dinner and enjoyed talking to her, calling her smart, beautiful, and obedient … Wow this is so crazy!!" Similar posts have appeared on Instagram and Facebook, including versions in Spanish, falsely asserting that the image depicts Musk’s robot girlfriend. [...] In summary, the image of Elon Musk with a "robot girlfriend" is a product of artificial intelligence and not a reflection of any real event or development involving Musk.

Evidence (2022-03-05): COVID-19 cases soar in New Zealand, in dramatic shift New Zealand was once heralded for its handling of COVID-19.

Evidence (2021-03-22): Thankfully, our analysis suggests that hybrid work may help revive our networks at work. For example, looking at New Zealand, we can see that team isolation — measured by a lack of communication with our distant network — spikes when lockdowns are issued. When lockdowns are eased, we see increased communication with our distant network. We saw this trend in other countries as well, including South Korea. In New Zealand, eased lockdown restrictions improve workplace networks Collaboration trends in New Zealand reveal a hopeful look at the future of hybrid work. As lockdown restrictions ease, team isolation improves.

Evidence (2024-05-22): She raises a concern: if pressure is put on destinations to reduce the number of tourists they admit, it feels likely they could market just to richer travellers in a bid to retain high revenues, shutting the lower end out of the market. This approach was taken in New Zealand in 2020, but it fell flat: tourism researchers noted that there's no evidence to show that big spenders contribute more to the economy and, in fact, may well be worse for the environment, while local commentators found it elitist, snobby and out of touch.

Evidence (2020-03-20): Background. The first confirmed COVID-19 case in New Zealand was reported on February 28, 2020. On March 25, 2020, New Zealand moved to Alert Level 4 restrictions after domestic transmission of the virus was found. The authorities declared a state of emergency and implemented strong containment measures, including the closure of all non-essential businesses, cancellation of all events and gatherings, and closure of schools. This followed the closure of all borders to non-residents on March 19, 2020, with returning residents required to enter into two weeks of supervised quarantine since April 10, 2020. After a gradual reopening through Alert Levels 3 (April 28, 2020) and 2 (May 13, 2020), New Zealand moved to Alert Level 1 on June 8, 2020, lifting restrictions on personal movements, gathering, workplaces, and services. While the virus has been effectively suppressed since then, there were subsequent, brief localized lockdowns in Auckland in August/September 2020 and February/March 2021. On June 23, 2021, Wellington was placed under Alert Level 2 restrictions after a visit by an infected Australian tourist. Vaccinations have begun, with 7.8 percent of the population fully vaccinated. The authorities expect to fully vaccinate the eligible population by the end of the year. [...] The New Zealand government, the RBNZ, and the New Zealand Bankers Association have also announced a number of financial measures to support SMEs and homeowners. These include six-month principal and interest repayment deferrals to mortgage holders and SMEs affected by COVID-19 and the BFGS. The concessional regulatory treatment of loans on repayment deferrals ended on March 31, 2021.

St. Lucia requires a negative COVID-19 test no more than seven days before arrival. Australia created a "travel bubble" that will eliminate quarantine requirements for travelers from New Zealand. CARICOM countries have also created a "regional travel bubble" that eliminates testing and quarantine for people traveling from countries within the bubble.

[...] Bath products cannot harm your baby as it sits high in the womb behind the cervix, and is protected by amniotic fluid.

During pregnancy, you're more susceptible to thrush, and some soaps and bubble baths can exacerbate symptoms. So to avoid unnecessary itching, it’s probably best to forego that new Lush bath bomb (think of the glitter).
