Is the Anne Hathaway 6.9 joke real?
There is a clip on TikTok making the rounds of Anne Hathaway sharing a 6.9 joke - however, the video is fake. Due to artificial intelligence, the video appears realistic as it eerily portrays the voice of the Princess Diaries actor. In the clip, Hathaway is a guest on The Daily Show and is chatting to then-host Jon Stewart, where she seems to ask him a joke: "What is 6.9?"

The video has gone viral with people sharing their thoughts on the fake interaction, one person said: "She caught him so off guard," while another added: "Anne Hathaway is a national treasure." @your.comedy.cave What is 6.9? #annehathaway #joke #comedycentral #funnyclip #yourcomedycave But some were also quick to point out that the clip was not real as they wrote: "This isn't real. It's all A.I." So how was this fake clip created? An actual clip of Hathaway's 2015 appearance on The Daily Show was dubbed over using a fake voice that had an uncanny likeness to the actor. The technology was even able to change how Hathaway moved her mouth in the clip to make it look more realistic - manipulating a clip of a person in this way to make it look like they said something they did not is known as a deep fake. In the real interview, Hathaway and Stewart had a giggle about Hathaway's new film at the time called Song One. Watch Anne Hathaway Laugh Uncontrollably with Jon Stewart www.youtube.com She outlines the plot of the film: “And then her little brother who’s 19 calls her up and says ‘I’m dropping out of college’ to become a musician.” “And she doesn’t react very well and they haven’t spoken for six months and then he gets hit by a car and is in a coma," Stewart was unable to contain his laughter and it also caused Hathaway to laugh too before she cracked an additional joke: "That is my Facebook update."

'Bizarre' footage captures moment an octopus wakes up from a 'nightmare'
Rare footage of an octopus having a 'nightmare' has been captured and it is fascinating scientists who study the creatures. The footage comes courtesy of The Rockefeller University in New York where an octopus named 'Costello' was studied for 24 hours a day in a laboratory. In papers published by bioRxiv, they found that on at least four occasions the octopus woke up abruptly and began flailing its tentacles, changing colour, shooting black ink into the water and displaying "antipredator and predatory behaviors." The experts put this behaviour down to temporary stress which they believe was likely caused by a bad dream or even a memory from a previous traumatic moment. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Speaking to LiveScience, Eric Angel Ramos, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Vermont said: "It was really bizarre because it looked like he was in pain; it looked like he might have been suffering, for a moment. And then he just got up like nothing had happened, and he resumed his day as normal." Compilation of the four abnormal sleep-associated episodes documented in a male Octopus insularis. www.youtube.com One thing the scientists did note is that when Costello arrived in the lab he appeared to be recovering from several severe injuries having lost the majority of two of his tentacles following an attack. When suggesting that Costello could have been dreaming about the attack the scientists noted: "can result in long-term behavioral and neural hypersensitivity." There has also been suggestions from Robyn Crook an associate professor of biology at San Francisco State University, who was not involved in the study, that Costello's behaviour could be down to something called senescence, which is when an octopus' body begins to break down before their death. Ramos concluded that he could not "exclude that senescence could be one of the drivers of this." This is not the first time footage of this nature has been captured. Back in 2019, PBS shared incredible footage of an octopus changing colour while it appeared to be dreaming. Have your say in our news democracy.
