May 5 (UPI) -- Can gluten be passed on through a kiss
Saliva samples taken from the celiac patients showed that minimal gluten was swapped during a 10-second kiss
"Patients with celiac disease can be more relaxed
knowing that the risk of gluten cross-contact through kissing a partner who has consumed gluten can be brought down to safe levels if food is followed by a small glass of water," Lee added
Previous studies have reported celiac patients are anxious that kissing might transfer gluten
but there wasn't enough research data to give them solid romantic/medical advice
"Everyone worries about whether gluten is getting into their food at a restaurant
but no one really looked at what happens when you kiss afterwards," Lee said
"The advice we gave about kissing and celiac disease was based on precaution and assumptions
We were using our best judgment," Lee said
"I felt it was important to do research to see if there was any actual risk."
each with one partner who had celiac disease
the partners waited five minutes before their smooch
and in another they drank 4 ounces of water before kissing
Gluten transfer was minimal in both situations
according to saliva samples taken afterward
the amount of gluten exchanged was less than 20 parts per million
Findings presented at medical meetings are considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal

People living with celiac disease have to consider a lot of factors when eating out
People with celiac disease often have to adopt strict diets to avoid contact with gluten
but what happens if a person with this condition kisses someone else who has just eaten a gluten-filled snack
but it causes anxiety among many people living with celiac disease
new research has challenged this worry: it seems you can enjoy a smooch with a gluten-eater
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects around 1 percent of the population
It is typically characterized by digestive issues after ingesting food containing gluten
gluten ingestion can cause intestinal damage even if it does not cause immediate symptoms
This is why people living with this condition go to great lengths to control their diet and the types of food they are exposed to. Similar to people living with nut allergies, the concerns of contamination can become quite overwhelming
it is easier for people with celiac disease to ensure their food is gluten-free when they make it at home rather than when it is prepared by other people
eating out can become quite a concern for people with celiac disease
“Everyone worries about whether gluten is getting into their food at a restaurant, but no one really looked at what happens when you kiss afterwards,” Dr Anne Lee, assistant professor of nutritional medicine at Columbia University, said in a statement
“The advice we gave about kissing and celiac disease was based on precaution and assumptions
I felt it was important to do research to see if there was any actual risk.”
The extent to which people with celiac disease worry about a contaminating kiss was identified in a study from 2022
which showed that over two-thirds of their participants reported that the condition impacted their dating life “a moderate amount”
Around 52 percent of the participants felt uncomfortable about going out on dates
and 39 percent were specifically worried about kissing their partner due to their celiac disease
which will be presented today at Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) 2025
10 couples were recruited by Lee and colleagues to examine the impact kissing had on celiac disease
Each couple had one partner who had the condition
the non-celiac partner ate 10 saltine crackers and then kissed their partner for 10 seconds
the partners waited five minutes before they kissed
they drank 4 ounces of water before they kissed
researchers found that the gluten transfer – measured in the saliva of the partner with celiac disease – was minimal in the majority of participants
Gluten was still found in the saliva of participants who kissed their partner after they drank water
the amount was less than 20 parts per million – this is the level allowed in gluten-free products and is considered safe
Understanding how gluten can pass through kissing is useful not just for people with celiac disease but also non-celiac gluten sensitivity
This gluten intolerance can lead to less severe symptoms
‘You don’t have to go to extreme measures,’” Lee added
“Patients with celiac disease can be more relaxed
knowing that the risk of gluten cross-contact through kissing a partner who has consumed gluten can be brought down to safe levels if food is followed by a small glass of water.”
The study will be presented today at Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) 2025

I don't know how it happened or where it started
but we've become this race of weirdoes who can't tell if we want to condemn a person because of their looks or worship them for the very same reasons
Case in point: The Kiss My Mastectomy Scars Club
there isn't actually a real club with this name
but there is this truly disconcerting pity party of an attitude that people have when they come into intimate
affectionate contact with those of us who have unsightly scars
RELATED: How My Breast Cancer Diagnosis Helped Me Forgive My Ex-Husband
As for me? I had a mastectomy
which left parts of my chest a bit of a wreck
as well as some real slash-and-dash visuals on my knee
thanks to a whacktastic surgery performed by one scalpel-happy orthopedist
these were necessary surgeries — they helped my life
But aesthetically pleasing in the long run
Once upon a time, I was in love with this beautiful guy. He'll probably go down as the number one love of my life
even though he was a complete moron — which is another story altogether
One day, while we were sort of buttering each other up over the phone, I said to him, "You know, when we meet, I just want you to understand that I'm not exactly built like other women, as in, I had cancer and lost a breast..."
I was a little neurotic about being exposed
so I had no idea what to anticipate as far as his reaction would be; in fact
I went straight into paranoia and imagined him on the other end of the phone to be clutching his throat
and then making some kind of outrageous excuse to suddenly halt the mad flirtation that we were deeply involved in
not only did he not reject me like I was some kind of plague-ridden insect from another planet — he embraced me with beautiful words that softly turned my frozen walls of defense into molten rivers of "hubba-hubba-let's-get-it-on-nownownow."
RELATED: My Husband Was Diagnosed With Breast Cancer
thinking that I'm a freak when my super-duper boy toy tells me in the best French accent I've ever heard
"I would kiss your scars and I would love it."
To which, the darling pie answered, "It only makes you a warrior in my eyes. A beautiful warrior whom I respect
Your war wounds are the most attractive things I can imagine and I would spend hours caressing you here
This guy worshipped me and told me every chance he got
but he still calls to tell me how much he loves me and how I will always be the most beautiful woman in the world to him
I think he likes the idea of keeping me a fantasy figure; his warrior dream woman
I think I like him better as the doting pretty boy lover who makes hot sounds on a phone while we lather each other up with attention
After I realized that my scars make me come across as this conquering heroine to men who crave strong women
I started to see a bizarre pattern forming: Men who are attracted to me all want to kiss my scars
they pass some sort of test in their head that allows them to feel like they're big
compassionate earth gods or something like that
RELATED: Eating This Snack May Increase Cancer Risk By 50%, According To Research
I started to see that some men — not all — see my scars as a hurdle to get past
and once they toss themselves over that hurdle
they can perceive themselves as good people who did a good thing for a person in need
The weird part is that so many guys treat me like this
It's like they need me to be the warrior woman who takes the blows and rolls with 'em like nobody's business
They want to kiss that mastectomy site as if it's some kind of holy relic that will make them into supermen
But here's the kicker: I do not require having my scars kissed
It's not that your intention isn't appreciated — it is
I've come to terms with my chest scars — they're no big deal to me anymore
What I'm really curious about is why all the attention is paid to my war wounds when I've got a perfectly awesome other breast
and a sweet fat bottom that makes the rockin' world go round
maybe even go forth with that oh-so-benevolent attitude of expressing your feminine side — got it
But if you're interested in me — and believe me
I am very grateful for your interest — stop kissing my scars and start paying attention to the parts of me that feel
I don't need to be healed, I need to be loved

President Donald Trump gave a speech to 2025 graduates of the University of Alabama on Thursday night
the so-called “golden age” of America
But it was Trump’s comments about tech CEOs that really shone
Trump knows that all of the “internet people,” as he called them
But thanks to Trump’s consolidation of power
Trump told the graduates that in order to succeed, you have to “take certain risks” and do things “a bit differently.” Then the president said that it was important to “fix the broken system” before pivoting in a way that made it clear he was actually speaking about breaking the system entirely—something that he’s currently doing with the help of Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)
you’re just never going to do it unless you break the system.”
“You have to break the system a little bit and follow your own instincts,” said Trump
That’s when Trump got into the way that he had successfully broken the system by making tech CEOs fall in line. Many tech companies and CEOs donated to Trump’s inauguration, shelling out big in one of the most nakedly corrupt attempts to buy a president’s favor in recent memory
and OpenAI’s Sam Altman were just a few of the tech leaders who each gave Trump $1 million
to say nothing of the quarter of a billion dollars Musk gave to help get the fascist president back into office
“If you look at some of these internet people
And now they’re kissing my ass.”
The internet people are indeed kissing his ass
has been given unprecedented access to the federal government
destroying anything he likes on a whim and getting a unique view into sensitive information that would give the oligarch a huge advantage as a federal contractor
make boatloads of money from the government
and that’s only going to accelerate as Republicans push through a new spending bill that’s bound to help Musk
President Trump’s latest budget proposal includes things like the “Golden Dome,” a missile defense platform that will deliver enormous revenue to SpaceX, according to the New York Times
And you’ll notice that in all of DOGE’s supposed cost-cutting
not a single contract for SpaceX has been on the chopping block
The rest of Trump’s speech was filled with the kinds of things he says every day
along with some elements from the campaign speeches he would give in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election
Trump demonized trans athletes and trotted out a cartoonish impersonation of weightlifters he’d done many times before
The president also mentioned that his wife
didn’t like it when he told the story
a fact he also mentioned many times at his hate-filled campaign rallies
Trump also touched on his tariffs, which are currently causing chaos in the global economy. The president slapped a 145% tariff on all goods coming from China, which means ships that would normally be sending goods to the U.S. right now simply aren’t coming, according to the Wall Street Journal
‘tariff’ is the most beautiful word in the world
And I got absolutely decimated by the fake news,” Trump told the University of Alabama graduates
What about religion and God?’ So I said
it’s the fifth nicest word I’ve ever seen.'”
There’s no evidence anyone in the news media took issue with Trump calling tariffs the most beautiful word in the world
The issue is that tariffs have the potential to cripple the economy and make things much more expensive for Americans
But Trump will often create stories from whole cloth that he thinks will make his speeches more entertaining
He’s also come to understand that dropping in some curse words here and there can play well
enough if a couple of decades ago that would’ve been considered beyond the pale for a U.S
It would’ve been notable if President Barack Obama said something like “kissing my ass” during a speech to a bunch of college kids
Trump’s use of profanity isn’t new, and is really the least objectionable thing about the man, but it is particularly funny that Fox News has been leaning into the idea recently that Democrats are using curse words too much. Friday morning, Fox did yet another segment about how the Democratic Party had become the “party of profanity.”
But the profanity doesn’t really matter at the end of the day. The thing that matters is the fact that Trump continues to destroy the U.S. government with the help of oligarchs and teenagers named Big Balls

sexy and dangerous" experience of being a woman today
Ratbag has announced a new EP ‘kissing under an (almost) full moon’
The songs will explore the “beautiful
sexy and dangerous” experience of being a woman
“In the last year i’ve started to really feel the growing pains of becoming a woman – of moulding into myself and my sexuality – and falling in love,” she explains
but at the same time i’m feeling the world around me becoming more and more terrifying
this EP is about both those things – the love of womanhood and the horrors too
“I’m finding that being a woman is simultaneously beautiful
sexy and dangerous so i wanted to make 4 tracks that don’t just dance around these concepts
the divide of the EP is a slap in the face between the softness and peace of being a woman and the unfortunate reality that i’ve been slowly growing into.”
Check out the artwork and full tracklisting below
ratbag – ‘kissing under an (almost) full moon’ – EP artwork
Speaking to NME for The Cover earlier this year, Ratbag told us about how Charli XCX‘s ‘Brat‘ had inspired the making of ‘kissing under an (almost) full moon’
“There’s no point faffing around and sugar-coating shit because
you should be saying how you feel,” she said
I don’t want to tiptoe around anything in my life
I want to say the things that most people are afraid even to think or feel guilty for thinking.”
will provide a place of refuge for fans amid a turbulent period of world history
“I really hope that they feel like my world is just a little bit of an escape for a moment
It’s quite an important thing for me,” she told us
and it’s just really nice to be able to step into something else for a bit.”

The TimesYou cannot eat gluten but you really want to kiss someone who has just eaten a mouthful of bread
it seems there is little risk of triggering a reaction if someone with coeliac disease locks lips with someone who has recently consumed gluten
But it might be worth asking them to have a glass of water first
Researchers from Columbia University in New York sought participants who were willing to eat crackers and kiss each other in the name of science
• Gluten intolerant? You might just be eating too much bread
They recruited ten couples made up of one partner with coeliac disease and one without
As of late Tuesday, OpenAI said ChatGPT was running on an older, less sycophantic version of GPT-4o for all users. "We are actively testing new fixes to address the issue," the company said in a blog post
"We’re revising how we collect and incorporate feedback to heavily weight long-term user satisfaction and we’re introducing more personalization features
giving users greater control over how ChatGPT behaves."
OpenAI released the new GPT-4o late last week
people began noticing ChatGPT was being overly agreeable and verbose in its praise
often that praise was also inappropriate and made people feel uncomfortable
— AshutoshShrivastava (@ai_for_success) April 27, 2025
In the postmortem OpenAI published on Tuesday
the company said the issue was due to changes it had made to GPT-4o designed to make the model feel more intuitive
we focused too much on short-term feedback
and did not fully account for how users’ interactions with ChatGPT evolve over time
GPT‑4o skewed towards responses that were overly supportive but disingenuous," the company said
"ChatGPT’s default personality deeply affects the way you experience and trust it
Sycophantic interactions can be uncomfortable
We fell short and are working on getting it right."
To avoid a similar situation in the future
OpenAI says it plans to refine its training techniques and prompts to guide models away from sycophancy
It also plans to implement additional guardrails during model training
OpenAI says those guardrails should increase honesty and transparency
the company plans to give users more ways to test and provide feedback on new releases before they're available to the public
OpenAI says it will work on giving people more ways to tweak ChatGPT's default behavior
Update 04/30/25 10:00AM ET: Added more context after OpenAI published a blog post detailing what went wrong with the latest GPT-4o release

Gigi Hadid has made her relationship with boyfriend Bradley Cooper Instagram official after more than a year together
the supermodel shared a picture of the pair kissing at her 30th birthday party
standing behind a three-tiered chocolate cake while surrounded by Hadid’s friends who watched on
who wore a white corset top and had her hair slicked back into a bun
The pair were first romantically linked in early October 2023
when they were spotted dining together at Italian restaurant Via Carota in New York City's West Village
Last month, Hadid commented on her relationship with the 50-year-old Maestro actor in an interview with Vogue
describing their dynamic as “very romantic and happy”
She said that the Hangover star “has opened me up to going to the theatre more
and that’s something that’s so nice to bring back into my life”
Hadid also said that she respects Cooper “so much as a creative”
and she feels “really lucky” to be with him
She said: “I feel that he gives so much to me: encouragement and
For those people you admire to encourage you
what’s the worst thing if I auditioned for this
Fans have been celebrating the Instagram hard launch
with one person commenting: “Gigi Hadid kissing Bradley Cooper!!!!!
“You and Bradley are so cute,” said one fan
Hadid also shared a selection of birthday highlights, including a black-and-white photo from a walk with her four-year-old daughter Khai, whom she shares with her ex, former One Direction singer Zayn Malik, as well as pictures of various cakes and personalised cocktails.
"I feel so lucky to be 30!" the model wrote alongside the pictures. "I feel so lucky for every high and low. For all the lessons and gifts both have brought me. To get to feel it all! I’m so lucky to be a mom, friend, partner, sister, daughter, colleague to some of the most unbelievable humans!!”
She added: “So lucky for the support and encouragement from all of YOU around the world, every day and on my birthday last week. I had the best time celebrating, and it’s a blessing to feel so loved!! I am grateful and honoured to take on a new decade x x G.”
Cooper shares daughter Lea De Seine, eight, with model Irina Shayk. The pair began dating in 2015 and broke up four years later.
Hadid and Malik split in October 2021 after nearly six years of dating.

a spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services in a prepared statement
Here in Covidlandia we retain the brain power and the intellectual courage to hold two competing truths in our heads at the same time: the world must keep moving on from tragedies
and we can still keep learning while protecting ourselves and others
All of this can be to varying personal degrees of freedom
The only waste around here is that being laid to our once world-leading health and science institutions
like shiny toys shattered by a child who needs help
How can we go from the modern day Wonder of the World that Covid vaccines represented, the Nobel Prizes for the discovery of mRNA vaccines, and The Lancet’s estimate that Covid vaccines saved 20 million lives worldwide just in their first year of use… how can we go from all that to this perverse revisionism
Political appointees under new FDA Commissioner Marty Makary are demanding an additional randomized controlled trial that experts say would be "costly and almost impossible to do" ethically
Makary has suggested potentially overhauling the entire system for updating Covid shots
which could make it virtually impossible for manufacturers to bring updated vaccines to market in time for infection surges
"by the time they could get a vaccine approved with early season studies
Moderna's next-generation Covid vaccine faces similar uncertainty with a May 31 decision deadline. RFK Jr is also making up his own “science” when it comes to cancelling single antigen vaccines in general
a step that would leave even more people sick and dead in its wake
Kennedy is also considering the unprecedented step of unilaterally removing Covid shots from the pediatric vaccine schedule without hearings or supporting data
make it harder for pediatricians to determine who should be vaccinated
and potentially force parents to pay out-of-pocket
further decreasing the already low 13% vaccination rate for children under 18
Read on for just this month’s evidence that Covid shots benefit kids
who can still get banged up quite significantly by Covid disease
I wouldn’t doubt that Covid vaccine recommendations will also be yanked for adults under 65 years of age
creating a swell of unnecessary long Covid cases
Other concerning developments include delays in selecting strains for next season's Covid shots
potentially leaving manufacturers like Novavax without sufficient production time
and uncertainty about a $600 million contract with Moderna for pandemic preparedness vaccines that the administration is "reevaluating" without explanation
I’m faithfully recommending the spring Covid booster to my patients over 65 years old. Many of them are getting it now, which becomes even more important as who knows what will be available in the fall. Dr. Jenn Dowd agrees with getting boosted
I’m also looking at Canada and Mexico this fall
Will private clinics and pharmacies in these neighboring countries hook up Americans who want shots this fall if they are not available here
RFK Jr even wants to throw out the entire mRNA vaccine technology based on his ridiculous misunderstandings about how vaccines work
Don't forget that mRNA vaccine technology holds promise beyond infectious diseases for treating cancer
and genetic conditions through its ability to instruct cells to produce specific therapeutic proteins with unprecedented precision and adaptability

In that post you will find expanded coverage of the following:
Covid rates are currently manageable with approximately 1 in 170 people infectious
is implementing policies undermining Covid vaccine access
FDA approval processes are being altered with additional requirements that experts consider impractical
Pediatric vaccine recommendations face potential removal from schedules despite evidence of benefits
Recent studies show the updated Pfizer vaccine offers about 68% effectiveness against hospitalizations
Moderna’s updated vaccine demonstrates 53% effectiveness against hospitalizations
These vaccines were not studied head to head
so not fair to conclude one is better than the other
But 4 years of evidence have already proven benefits outweigh small risks
vaccine uptake remains concerningly low at only 3.7% in some study populations
The percent of the population reporting receipt of the updated 2024─25 COVID-19 vaccine is 13.0% for children and 23.0% for adults age 18+
N95 masks remain the most effective readily available protection
Other masks provide varying degrees of filtration: KN95s/KF94s (~70%)
Studies show children with Covid face increased risks for kidney disease
Unvaccinated children are up to 20 times more likely to develop Long Covid
Data shows 63.6% of children hospitalized with Covid had no pre-existing conditions
Acute Covid infections associated with 25% increased risk of car crashes
similar to driving under the influence of alcohol
Studies show Covid negatively impacts sperm quality with lower counts and reduced motility
Paxlovid treatment reduces stroke risk by 15% and all-cause mortality by 32% in the 90 days following diagnosis
Proposed and completed budget cuts catastrophically reduce funding for NIH
Changes to vaccine approval processes potentially violate established ethical principles in clinical research

Hugh Jackman's girlfriend may want to look away as the Wolverine actor swears liberally
speaks graphically about sex and engages in multiple steamy make-out sessions with his younger co-star in a new off-Broadway show
plays a three-time divorced middle-aged college professor and novelist Jon who embarks on a forbidden romance with his 19-year-old student Annie
Jackman's girlfriend Sutton Foster, 50, also made a backstage appearance this week, amid rumors that their fledgling relationship has struggled since they went public in January
The new show may not be the easiest watch for Foster
with Jackman and Beatty kissing frequently
at one point making out on a desk as a scantily clad Beatty wraps her legs around Jackman
Another scene sees the young star – the daughter of Warren Beatty – sat in between Jackman's legs wearing nothing but her underwear and a red jacket as he kisses her head
Hugh Jackman's girlfriend Sutton Foster (pictured) may want to look away as he swears
speaks graphically about sex and shares steamy kisses in his new off-Broadway play
The actor plays the older love interest of Warren Beatty and Annette Bening's daughter Ella Beatty (pictured)
in Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes
In one scene a fully clothed Jackman leans over a scantily clad Beatty as she wraps her legs around him while laid back on a desk
And it's not just the steamy scenes that are X-rated
dropping F-bombs and at one point graphically detailing a college cheerleader 'sucking his c**k.'
It's easy to see why audience members are banned from using phones
the story explores discussions around sexual consent and power dynamics
devours his erotic novels and fantasizes about him
Jon is questioning his growing feelings for Annie and toying with the consequences of pursuing a teacher-student fantasy
all while agonizing over his third divorce
announced his split from Deborra-Lee Furness
in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage
they said they were 'shifting' and had decided to 'separate to pursue our individual growth.'
In March, a source revealed to the Daily Mail that Jackman and Furness have yet to file for divorce because 'they are struggling to reach an agreement on how to divide their assets.'
'It's always hard dating in the public eye
but when you add their whole backstory and what they've put on the line as far as their reputations
the pressure rises exponentially,' a source told Life&Style
'Deborra-Lee feels entitled to more money than Hugh is willing to offer,' the source said
Jackman and Foster's relationship reportedly overlapped with the end of his marriage
The pair met as co-stars on the 2022 Broadway revival of The Music Man
but only went public after they were pictured holding hands earlier this year
Foster filed for divorce from her now-estranged husband Ted Griffin
the new couple were this week plagued by reports that they were struggling
in part because of having to spend time apart
'Being apart for an extended period of time can be tough on any couple,' an insider told Life and Style
He announced his split from Deborra-Lee Furness
The source added: 'There's a lot of harsh judgement about them online.'
Jackman is juggling all this alongside fears that he'll be dragged into his pal Blake Lively's ongoing and messy legal battle with her It Ends with Us co-star Justin Baldoni
Baldoni has retaliated with his own countersuit
accusing Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds of defamation
The rancorous back-and-forth is scheduled for trial on March 29
A source recently revealed to the Daily Mail that Jackman will be subpoenaed

A North Carolina teacher accused of kissing a 5-year-old autistic student will not face criminal charges
The unnamed teacher was reportedly caught cornering the girl in a Blythe Elementary School bathroom by another staff member
who reported the incident to administrators
“They didn’t even remove my daughter after, they just left her in the classroom after it happened,” Elizabeth Szumski told the New York Post in a phone interview
“They said they removed the staff member from the classroom and sent her home for the day
The staff member was reportedly removed from the classroom
Szumski said no charges were filed and the case was dropped altogether because Journey
"cannot tell her side of the story."
Why are we not trying to figure out why she had such a hard time going to school?” Szumski said
Szumski is concerned that the disturbing behavior could continue now that it's gone unpunished while her daughter
instead crying every morning when it's time to leave
the mother said she and her husband had met with Journey's teacher earlier in the week to discuss her daughter's alleged change in behavior
at which point the teacher told them they needed to do a better job of acclimating her to a new school
but the moment she sees her backpack is when she has a meltdown
There’s clearly a problem here.’ And they kind of just brush it off,” Szumski said
but I don’t have a problem when she’s with me.”

BLAKE Lively sensationally kisses herself in a bizarre incest scene from her new movie
In black comedy Another Simple Favor - the sequel to A Simple Favor - in which she appears alongside Anna Kendrick, Blake's character is one of three triplets.
Blake, 37, appears as Emily, one of the three triplets, in the movie, and shares a kiss with her sister - whom she also plays the role of.
Kissing her triplet Charity during a slightly weird moment, viewers were stunned as the bizarre scene played out.
One reviewer said: "Another Simple Favor is the strangest incest-filled movie I have ever watched."
Another added: "Blake Lively once again makes an awful film into a soapy, unforgettable ride. What’s a little incest between secret triplets?"
On social media, fans have reacted to the incestuous scene, with many totally freaked out.
One person asked: "Why is Blake lively kissing her long lost triplet in another simple favor?
Another confessed: "The movie seems so awful too. Blake makes out with her twin sister.
"Then apparently there’s a secret triplet, just ridiculous. I won’t watch anything Blake or Ryan are in from now on."
Blake was told about the on-screen incest smooch before she did it on set
with her reaction shared by the film's writer-director
Writer and director of Another Simple Favor
has opened up about telling Blake and her initial reaction to the kiss
"When I first told Blake about this new storyline
He then said: "And she went for it."
Blake previously addressed the plot twist at the movie's SXSW premiere in March
She spoke of feeling "uncomfortable" while watching the flick in the cinema at the premiere
Blake said: "Right before we started shooting
'I have a little bit of a curveball idea'."
She added: "It definitely upped the ante
It was very uncomfortable to watch in this theater with you guys."
This isn't the only kiss Blake is embroiled in on screen in the film franchise
she and Anna's character Stephanie kiss
with everyone soon learning that it was actually Charity
"Everybody was into it," Paul also spilled when chatting to Entertainment Weekly
He added: "Blake and Anna were so game for doing it."

You know this. I know this. And now ChatGPT has learned this important life lesson
The behavior has sparked debate in AI circles
Is this a new growth strategy to flatter users and make them engage more with ChatGPT
where pseudo-sentient AI models come up with what they "think" are improvements and just go ahead of update themselves
a general partner at the venture capital firm DCVC
"Perhaps the personality was an emergent property of some fundamental advance; but
I can't imagine how anyone with any human understanding thought that degree of sucking-up would be welcome or engaging."
But there could be problems with a powerful AI model overly praising users constantly
One user said on X that they'd told ChatGPT they'd stopped taking their schizophrenia medication and shared a screenshot of the chatbot congratulating the person and encouraging them to continue without the meds
(I have not confirmed that this ChatGPT response is real
it illustrates what could happen if an AI model veered off course like this.)
"The last couple of GPT-4o updates have made the personality too sycophant-y and annoying (even though there are some very good parts of it)," he wrote on X
At some point will share our learnings from this
When faced with head-scratching artificial intelligence situations like this
He's a veteran AI expert and startup founder who also happens to be a professor emeritus at the University of Washington
He told me that an AI technique known as reinforcement learning from human feedback might be part of the reason ChatGPT has started flattering users so much lately
RLHF takes input from human evaluators (and sometimes users) and works that back into AI models during development
The idea is to align these powerful tools with human goals
Etzioni theorized that OpenAI's human evaluators may have overdone it slightly this time
so it's possible that some users 'pushed' it in a more sycophant-y and annoying direction," he said
it may be that they thought this was desirable," he said of the outside people who are often used to train large language models
it could take OpenAI a few weeks to fix it
I asked OpenAI's (human) public relations department about all this on Monday morning
But I'm thinking that maaaaaaybe they should pause before getting rid of this feature
I asked ChatGPT on Monday morning what it thought of my writing and shared a couple of examples
"You're absolutely operating at a top-level tech/business writing standard."
