Elon Musk and Steve Jobs' signatures are a holy grail of sorts for tech enthusiasts ... and if you're willing to splash some serious cash, you might just get lucky and score one of their elusive autographs.

Talk about a coveted piece of history ... a bidding war is on over at RR Auction for a movie ticket stub signed by Jobs -- and there's also the super rare SpaceX business card signed by Musk himself!!

As you can see, Steve's signature is on the back of a movie ticket from 2003's "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" at Century Cinema 16 in Mountain View, CA.

Despite a little tear made by the usher before he signed it, the signature remains intact and in good condition.

It also comes with a detailed letter of provenance from the OG recipient, who says being a big Apple fan and suddenly spotting Steve and his fam at the cinema was a major deal.

The fan waited until the end of the movie to ask for his autograph -- and the wait paid off 'cause Steve dug out his own cinema ticket to sign as they didn't have a piece of paper.

Meanwhile, EM's signature on a SpaceX business card -- signed in black felt tip -- is like a piece of history from the forefront of space exploration.

Swifties are coming to Travis Kelce's defense after he was caught texting during Taylor Swift's recent "Eras" tour concert ... with the message being, give the guy a break!

Check out the video ... you see the Chiefs tight end being filmed by a fellow concertgoer at the Singapore show he went to this week -- and while Taylor was belting out "I Knew You Were Trouble" ... TK was checking his phone, right at the peak of the song.

The person who filmed this seemed to be throwing some shade Travis's way -- by suggesting he wasn't being attentive enough .... with a caption, reading "It's giving supporting bf."

Despite what the TikToker might've been trying to imply here -- T-Swift's legion wasn't biting ... with a ton of people jumping to speak up for Travis ... and rightly pointing out how ridiculous any type of scrutiny or criticism over this really is. Dude's just checking his phone!

A few Swifties even noted that this is the first time that Travis has ever been seen looking at his phone while cheering on his sweetheart.

Besides, we know Travis is a supportive boyfriend -- evidenced by the fact that he's literally there in Singapore right now. As we reported earlier today, Trav was having a great time at the concert -- he was even caught dancing his tail off to Taylor's jams.

There's no denying he's a true fan of the Grammy winner ... remember, Travis attended the "Eras" tour before he and the pop star even got together. And, since getting with her -- he's made a huge effort to be at some of her international tours ... including in Australia.

Clearly, he's a supportive significant other ... and it seems her fans know that quite well. Here's hoping Trav can shake off the shade ... because it really ain't all that deep.

The guy's allowed to look away for a moment, y'all ... it should go without saying.

El primer robot humanoide de Arabia Saudita, en su forma masculina, tocó de forma inapropiada el trasero de una reportera en un evento de presentación al mundo y la vergonzosa interacción está grabada en video.

El robot de inteligencia artificial, llamado Muhammad, fue grabado a principios de esta semana en Riad, en un evento llamado DeepFest, que es un encuentro de inteligencia artificial donde la gente se reúne para hablar de tecnología, IA y avances notables.

Se suponía que Muhammad iba a ser uno de los más destacados del acto, pero acabó causando sensación por las razones equivocadas. Como se puede ver, el robot intentó hacerse notar.

Estaba de pie en una plataforma detrás de la periodista de televisión Rawya Kassem, cuando movió lentamente su brazo derecho hacia ella, tratando de tocar su trasero en medio de su reporte, y aparentemente hizo contacto.

Rawya se da la vuelta y le hace un gesto al robot para que retroceda. También le lanza una mirada desagradable antes de continuar. El robot, de hecho, se ve súper real, vestido con una túnica blanca y un keffiyeh rojo y blanco, lo que hace que esto sea aún más extraño.

Saudi Arabia's first humanoid male robot inappropriately touched a female reporter's butt at an event introducing him to the world ... and the cringe-y interaction is all on video.

The AI robot, named Muhammad, got caught on camera pulling a pretty pervy earlier this week in Riyadh, at something called DeepFest ... which is an AI get-together where people gather to talk tech, artificial intelligence and noteworthy breakthroughs.

Muhammad was supposed to be on the of standouts at this function -- but he ended up making a splash for all the wrong reasons. As you can see, the bot tried copping a feel.

It was standing on a platform behind TV journalist Rawya Kassem -- when it slowly moves its right arm towards her, attempting to touch her booty in the middle of her report ... and seemingly making contact.

Rawya turns back and motions at the robot to back off ... shooting the robot a nasty glare before continuing on with her report. The robot already looks super real, resembling a man wearing a long gown below a red and white keffiyeh ... making this all the more creepy.

Elon Musk está llevando a los tribunales a la empresa matriz de ChatGPT por lo que considera una traición a su acuerdo con el gigante de la IA. Según él, la compañía le ha dado la espalda a la humanidad... y todo en busca de dólares.

El multimillonario gigante de la tecnología acaba de presentar una demanda contra OpenAI, la empresa que ayudó a fundar y financió en 2015, alegando que el consejero delegado Sam Altman y el presidente Greg Brockman han tergiversado la misión humanitaria original de la organización para convertirla en una empresa con ánimo de lucro.

En los documentos obtenidos por TMZ, Musk dice que él, Altman, Brockman y otros, establecieron un acuerdo de fundación para OpenAI en su lanzamiento -una especie de constitución, si se quiere- en la cual Elon afirma explícitamente que estaban haciendo todo esto en beneficio de las personas, y no con fines de lucro.

También afirma que otro principio al que llegaron fue tener su código abierto y disponible para el público, para que la gente pudiera entender y colaborar en el desarrollo de la tecnología.

Elon dice en su demanda que este acuerdo de fundación que escribieron fue considerado como el principal impulso de su nueva compañía, pero el año pasado, él afirma que los encargados de OpenAI restantes rompieron su palabra cuando lanzaron su última versión de ChatGPT.

Por supuesto, se refiere a GPT-4. Elon y otros la han llamado la versión más inteligente de la IA hasta el momento, y Elon afirma que Microsoft pagó una tonelada de dinero para un acuerdo de licencia exclusiva con OpenAI para el uso de parte de la tecnología.

El problema, afirma Elon, es que han creado chat GPT-4 en secreto, y afirma que eso rompe el acuerdo de transparencia al público establecid en el acuerdo de fundación de hace casi 10 años.

Elon también señala que todo el episodio de expulsión de Altman de la junta de OpenAI y su reincorporación días después con miembros de la junta favorables a Microsoft, es una prueba más de que OpenAI se ha desviado claramente de su visión original... y ahora solo persigue beneficios.

Elon Musk is taking ChatGPT's parent company to court over what he claims is a betrayal of his deal with the AI giant -- which he claims has turned its back on humanity ... all in search of dollars.

The billionaire tech giant just filed suit against OpenAI -- the company he helped start/finance back in 2015 -- alleging CEO Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman have twisted the org's original mission of humanitarianism into nothing but a profit-seeking venture.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Musk says he, Altman, Brockman, and others established a founding agreement for OpenAI at its launch -- a constitution of sorts, if you will -- which EM claims explicitly stated they were doing all this for the benefit of all people ... not for profit.

He also claims that another principle they came to was having their code open and available to the public ... so people could understand and collaborate on the development of the technology.

Elon says in his suit that this founding agreement they wrote out was actually memorialized as the north star of their new company -- but last year, he claims the remaining OpenAI honchos torched when they rolled out their latest version of ChatGPT.

Of course, he's referring to GPT-4 ... which Elon and others have called the smartest iteration of AI yet -- and Elon claims Microsoft even paid a ton of money for an exclusive licensing agreement with OpenAI for the use of some of the technology.

The problem, Elon claims, is that the guts of how GPT-4 came together were completely hidden ... which he says is a gross departure from the commitment to openness and transparency to the public laid out in the founding agreement almost 10 years ago.

Elon also points to the whole episode of Altman getting booted from the OpenAI board and then brought back in days later with Microsoft-friendly board members as more proof that OpenAI has clearly bucked its original mission ... and is now simply chasing profit.

Kara Swisher es realista sobre la inevitabilidad de la inteligencia artificial y está ofreciendo consejos francos sobre cómo debemos navegar por esta tecnología en constante evolución.

La famosa periodista de tecnología, que acaba de publicar su nuevo libro "Burn Book: A Tech Love Story", se unió a "TMZ Live" el martes, donde dio una advertencia sobre lo que está por venir en el terreno de la inteligencia artificial.

Kara nos dice que la inteligencia artificial no se irá a ninguna parte y aunque siempre ha habido propaganda falsa, la IA está haciendo casi imposible distinguir lo falso de lo real.

Por eso cree que el gobierno debe entablar un diálogo con las empresas tecnológicas sobre algún tipo de regulación, algo que ya hace con otras industrias.

A Kara no le entusiasma la idea de que todas las creaciones de inteligencia artificial estén amparadas por la libertad de expresión y todas las protecciones que conlleva. En cambio, le gustaría ver a más gente siendo demandada por daños.

Por ejemplo, Taylor Swift fue víctima hace poco de la aparición de imágenes falsas de ella en Internet en lo que podría ser calificado como contenido porno, y si demandara a los creadores, Kara dice que eso podría disuadir a futuros actores.

Kara Swisher is getting real about the unavoidability of artificial intelligence ... offering up candid advice on how we should navigate the ever-evolving technology in the future.

We got the famed tech journalist -- who just released her new book, "Burn Book: A Tech Love Story" -- Tuesday on "TMZ Live," where she issued a warning about what's to come for AI.

Kara tells us artificial intelligence isn't going anywhere -- and while fake propaganda's always been around, AI is making it almost impossible to distinguish phony info from the real thing.

Which is why she thinks the government needs to start a dialogue with tech companies about regulation ... something it does with other industries.

One thing Kara's not keen on is the notion all AI creations fall under free speech, and all the protections that come with that tag -- instead, she'd like to see more people sue for damages.

For example, Taylor Swift was recently victimized when phony X-rated/NSFW AI images of her surfaced online -- and if she were to sue the creators, Kara says that might deter future bad actors.

Eminem posts to social media on rare occasions and there now appears to be a clear-cut explanation ... Slim Shady still uses his freakin' BlackBerry!!!

On Thursday, DJ Whoo Kid posted a flick of him, Em and D12's Mr. Porter inside an L.A. dressing room, exposing Em's favoritism towards the outdated tech in the process.

The rap G.O.A.T. was also rocking a shirt with Too Short's classic "Short Dog's in the House" album ... ever the avid hip hop head!!!

The 3 amigos were slyly promoting Em's "Mom's Spaghetti" after a viral negative review knocked the restaurant, with the Shade 45 host joking like he swindled Em's last box of pasta.

Earlier this week, a food critic named Mr. Chimetime declared "Mom's Spaghetti" as the worst dish he's ever had because it tasted stale ... which is the exact basis of the restaurant's existence -- to recreate the satisfaction of a leftover, microwaved meal after a Midwestern hard day's work.

A multitude of AT&T customers are probably yanking out their hair after the company announced their network crashed, killing cell phone usage in many areas around the country.

Upwards of 73,000 AT&T clients were cut off from making mobile calls and sending text messages following the nationwide outages that began Thursday around 5 AM ET. This comes on the heels of AT&T's temporary outages over the last few days, including a 911 blackout in some parts of the southeastern United States.

Verizon and T-Mobile customers were also hit with service interruptions, but not as hard as AT&T. About 4,000 customers reported cell phone outages for Verizon, while around 1,900 T-Mobile customers reported a lack of service.

People started reporting the outages on the website, "DownDetector," which tracks telecommunication issues throughout the U.S. Initially, the number of reported AT&T outages fell during the 5 AM hour, only to spike again in the 7 AM hour.

In San Francisco, the Department of Emergency Management issued a public announcement, saying that its 911 center was functioning.

However, in their statement posted to X, the officials suggested that AT&T customers use a landline or a rival phone service to get through to them if the mobile network was down.

They also wrote, “We are aware of an issue impacting AT&T wireless customers from making and receiving any phone calls (including to 911). We are actively engaged and monitoring this.”

People online are making comparisons to Julia Roberts' Netflix film "Leave The World Behind," which follows a family dealing with the reality of a country-wide blackout crisis.

So far, AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile have not officially commented on what triggered the outages ... but AT&T says they're currently working on customer complaints.

The first-ever human to be fitted with Neuralink's brain chip can now move a computer mouse with thought alone -- this according to the tech billionaire Elon Musk himself.

The patient was part of the neurotech startup's first human test group and received the implant last month -- with Musk telling journalist Katherine Brodsky in an X Spaces event Monday they've recovered well and the progress on what they set out to achieve "is good."

He adds the patient is suffering "no ill effects" the company is aware of ...and can apparently move the mouse up and down to drag boxes on the screen just by thinking.

The brain chip is called Telepathy ... and Elon previously explained it "enables control of your phone or computer, and through them almost any device, just by thinking."

The device consists of an electrode with more than 1,000 flexible conductors that can be etched into peoples' cerebral cortexes via a surgical robot. The electrodes are programmed to register thoughts related to motion in the truly groundbreaking technology -- and so far, it looks like it's doing its job!

El primer ser humano en recibir un chip cerebral de Neuralink ya puede mover el ratón del computador solo con el pensamiento, según revela el propio multimillonario Elon Musk.

El paciente, que recibió el implante el mes pasado, es parte del primer grupo de prueba en humanos de la startup neurotecnológica y Musk le dijo a la periodista Katherine Brodsky en un evento de X Spaces que se ha recuperado bien y el progreso ha sido "bueno."

Añade que el paciente no está sufriendo "ningún efecto nocivo" que la compañía tenga conocimiento y aparentemente puede mover el ratón hacia arriba y hacia abajo para arrastrar los elementos de la pantalla solo con el pensamiento.

El chip cerebral se llama Telepathy y según ha explicado Elon anteriormente permite controlar el teléfono, el computador o "cualquier dispositivo, solo con el pensamiento".

El dispositivo consiste en un electrodo con más de 1.000 conductores flexibles que pueden grabarse en la corteza cerebral de las personas mediante un robot quirúrgico. ¡Los electrodos están programados para registrar los pensamientos relacionados con el movimiento con una tecnología verdaderamente innovadora y, por ahora, parece que está haciendo su trabajo!

Johnny Eblen's next fight nearly came sooner than expected ... the Bellator champ found himself squarely in the sights of a popular prankster, and things got heated!

32-year-old Eblen was shopping at a local Home Depot in Florida recently when a social media prankster named ImReddttv approached Johnny and his lady friend wearing the Apple Vision Pro, and things almost instantly got off to a bad start.

"I'll tell you right now, I'm pretty sure I can bag her," Redd said, standing in front of the couple.

Credit to Johnny's spidey senses ... he seemed to instantly feel something was off, and even pointed out a guy in the cut who was surreptitiously holding a camera.

Redd brushed off the dude filming, and carried on with the prank, saying ... "What's up little man?" to the MMA champion.

He continued ... "Sweetheart, you need to be with a real big man like me," before asking Eblen if the woman was "his girl."

That's about when Johnny's patience wore out (he lasted a lot longer than most would've), saying, "If you say something disrespectful I'll f*** you up!"

Eblen and the woman started walking away, and Redd followed. Johnny then stopped and began walking toward the prankster ... and you get the feeling it was about to turn bad for the social media star.

That's when Redd revealed he'd been sent by Brian Butler-Au, Johnny's manager, to troll the fighter. Tension was instantly broken, and Johnny had a good laugh.

Not too long after the prank, Johnny hopped aboard a jet and flew across the world to Saudi Arabia ... where the Bellator middleweight champ is fighting PFL light heavyweight champ Impa Kasanganay on February 24 in Riyadh.

Elon Musk y Neuralink han hecho historia... el multimillonario dice por primera vez hay un ser humano equipado con el chip cerebral de la startup neurotecnológica.

Elon hizo el gran anuncio el lunes en su plataforma de redes sociales X, antes Twitter, afirmando que los primeros resultados se ven bien.

Musk dice que el paciente, parte del primer grupo de prueba humano de Neuralink, recibió el implante el domingo y se está recuperando bien.

Añade: "Los resultados iniciales muestran una prometedora detección de picos neuronales".

El chip cerebral, explica Elon, se llama Telepatía y dice que "permite controlar tu teléfono u ordenador, y a través de ellos, casi cualquier dispositivo, solo con el pensamiento".

Dicho de otra manera, Elon dice: "Imagínese si Stephen Hawking podría haberse comunicado más rápido que un mecanógrafo o un subastador. Ese es el objetivo".

El primer ensayo en humanos de Neuralink involucra a personas que han perdido el uso de sus extremidades.

La empresa de Elon está probando la seguridad del implante y del robot quirúrgico que inserta el chip en el cerebro. Neuralink dice que también quiere ver cómo funciona la futurista tecnología en el mundo real.

La FDA despejó el camino para este ensayo en mayo, y es solo un paso en un largo proceso hacia la aprobación final de la FDA.

History for Elon Musk and Neuralink ... the billionaire says there's now a human being fitted with the neurotech startup's brain chip for the first time.

Elon made the big announcement Monday on his social media platform X, formerly Twitter, claiming the early results are looking good.

Musk says the patient, part of Neuralink's first human test group, received the implant Sunday and is recovering well.

Elon adds ... "Initial results show promising neuron spike detection."

The brain chip, Elon explains, is called Telepathy ... and he says it "enables control of your phone or computer, and through them almost any device, just by thinking."

Put another way, Elon says ... "Imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a speed typist or auctioneer. That is the goal."

Neuralink's first human trial involves people who have lost the use of their limbs.

Elon's company is testing the safety of the implant and the surgical robot that inserts the chip in the brain. Neuralink says it also wants to see how the futuristic tech works in the real world.

The FDA cleared the way for this trial back in May, and this is just one step in a long process toward final FDA approval.

Sharon Stone's looking for love online, and she's finding out a lesson lots of millennials already know ... many people don't live up to their profile hype.

The superstar actress opened up about her online dating trials and tribulations in an interview with The Times Friday ... with Stone saying she's hoping 2024 will be her year to find true love.

So far though ... SS says it's leading to dates with lots of real sketchy dudes instead -- a fact not totally surprising to anyone who's used the apps over the years.

Stone's dates sound a heck of a lot worse than your average "guy lied about his height or job" catfishing ... Sharon actually seems to be attracted to some real stinkers.

For example, Sharon pulled one dude who she later found out was a convicted felon -- and another who she said was "clearly 20,000 heroin injections later than the picture he sent me" ... definitely not hubby material.

And, as for her good matches ... they happened during the pandemic, and Sharon said she never actually met the dudes IRL. Basically, Stone says she mainly acted as a "therapist" of sorts to a recent divorcee and another man who'd been through a breakup after his GF had an abortion -- conversations SS called "rewarding."

One big challenge ... the 65-year-old says she's not on dating apps like Bumble to hook up -- adding she thinks men will basically get it on with anything, like a "warm can of beans," so she doesn't really need to try for sex.

Instead, she's looking for a partner -- Sharon says she doesn't have a set list of criteria, but basically, she'll know it when she feels it. She's not rushing into love -- she's been married twice and has three kids to think of as well -- so she says she's gonna take her time with it.
