Our grandparents fell in love listening to him on the radio. Today he would be almost 90 years old and surely none of us could recognize him. Roy Orbison, ladies and gentlemen.
A pair of sunglasses and a guitar. Roy Orbison is one of the most charismatic figures in the world of American and world music. He left us in 1998 and many of us have not recovered. Today we imagine what he would be like if he were still alive (that would be Freddie Mercury).
Roy Orbison’s story is one of the most painful, as he lost his wife and children in a car accident in the middle of his success. In spite of everything, the singer recovered. We tell you his story while artificial intelligence tells us what he would be like in 2023.
This is what Roy Orbison would look like today if he were still alive
Roy Orbison was an American singer, songwriter and musician born in Vernon, Texas on April 23, 1936, and died on December 6, 1988 in Hendersonville, Tennessee.
He is considered one of the most influential singers of the 20th century and one of the most distinctive voices in the history of popular music.
Orbison became famous in the 1960s with hits such as Only the Lonely, Crying, In Dreams and Oh, Pretty Woman, the latter considered one of the most iconic songs in pop music.
His musical style was characterized by his unique vocal technique, emotive melodies and his ability to write deep and emotional lyrics.
In addition to his solo career, Orbison was also a member of the rock supergroup The Traveling Wilburys, along with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne.
Although his career was interrupted by the tragic death of his wife and two children in a car accident in 1966, Orbison managed to return to stardom in the 1980s before his death.
The first image is from DALL-E, who for once has made a credible portrait of a person. And the second image is from Stable Diffusion, where we have what Roy Orbison would look like today.
If you don’t know Roy Orbison do yourself a favor, click on the Spotify links we have left you and enjoy one of the best voices of the 20th century. You’ll be doing yourself and everyone who lives nearby a favor.

One of the most famous trumpet players and composers of the 20th century left us in the 1990s. What would Miles Davis be like at almost 100 years old? The AI answers us.
Rarely has a trumpet touched so many millions of people. Miles Davis is the soundtrack of many people who for 6 decades loved music. He passed away in 1991 and after 30 years without him we wonder things.
But who was Miles Davis? I’m sure more than one too-young reader has had those questions pop into their head when they read the headline. That’s okay, it’s our job to explain who he was and what Miles Davis meant to the world.
The best trumpet player of the 20th century
Miles Davis was afamous American jazz musician born in Alton, Illinois, in 1926 and died in Santa Monica, California, in 1991.
He is considered one of the most important and influential musicians in the history of jazz and has been recognized as an innovator in several styles of the genre.
Davis began playing trumpet as a teenager and quickly stood out for his talent. After studying at the Juilliard School of Music in New York, he joined Charlie Parker’s band and became a sought-after session musician.
Throughout his career, Davis pioneered several styles of jazz, including cool jazz, hard bop and jazz fusion. His album Kind of Blue, released in 1959, is considered one of the greatest jazz albums of all time and has influenced thousands of musicians after 60 years.
In addition to his musical career, Davis is also known for his role in the struggle for civil rights in the United States. In 2006, he was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
And now that you know who he is, the images you have seen in the body of the news are not real, just how the artificial intelligence imagines what Miles Davis would look like at 97 years old, what he would look like today if he were still alive.
It has been impossible for DALL-E to give us a real image, it was all caricatures, so we are left with the two options that Stable Diffusion has given us. We wish we could test Midjourney, but they have turned off the tap after so much trolling.

Several generations would not know what laughter and fun are if it weren't for Jim Henson, the creator of Sesame Street and other crazy and educational adventures.
Anyone between the ages of 30 and 60 has an unpaid debt to Jim Henson. The genius born in Mississippi in 1936 gave us some of the best children’s television shows in history. Today many of us remember him and a few of us imagine… what would he be like if he were still alive?
Jim Henson passed away at the age of 54, a very young age to die (you’re never old enough to die, they say) and behind him he left an incredible legacy. A gift to the world in the form of series, shows and movies.
What would Jim Henson look like in 2023? We asked the AI
For those who don’t know him, Jim Henson was a famous American puppeteer, television and film producer, actor and director. The pity is that he passed away in 1990, 33 years ago…
Jim Henson is remembered for being the creator of the Muppets, a brilliant series with a cast of main characters (all hand and string operated dolls) that includes iconic characters such as Kermit the Frog, Peggy the Piggy, the Cookie Monster and many more.
But his legacy does not end there. The creator is also responsible for such international hits as The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, The Muppet Movie and the series The Dark Crystal (you have it on Netflix).
Henson also pioneered the use of electronic puppet technology, which allowed the puppets to move more realistically and expressively. In addition, he was an advocate for children’s education and inclusion, and his television shows and films reflect these values.
But we are not here just to talk about his work, although it is impossible not to when he has been such an influential character in our lives. We are here to see what Jim would be like in 2023, at the age of 87.
For this we have asked artificial intelligence. In case you are wondering, the first picture is Stable Diffusion and the second one is of DALL-E (that’s why it’s more of a cartoon than the first one). If you want to see an old Freddie Mercury click here.
Despite his untimely death, Jim Henson has left a lasting legacy in popular culture. His work with the Muppets has inspired generations of children and adults, and his focus on creativity, innovation and inclusion continues to inspire many.

If you're from social networks, you're wasting time by not going to Lemon8, the beauty and fashion app that's succeeding in the United States. TikTok is behind.
Yesterday we talked about Lemon8 for the first time. And this app has gone from ostracism to stardom in just a few weeks. Right now it is number one in the download stores in the United States and is slowly landing in other markets.
Lemon8, an Instagram-like lifestyle app from ByteDance (the creators of TikTok), has welcomed a group of creators in the last week. Lemon8 is a platform for creators to share photos and short videos about wellness, travel, food and beauty.
If you want to get in on the Lemon8 hype and try your luck as an early adopter of the hottest new social networking app, here’s how to get started creating your first post.

Here you will write a bio, choose a profile picture and link to your TikTok, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube accounts if you wish.
Choose your photos

The Queen singer passed away in 1991, a few days after announcing that he had AIDS. With his departure, music lost the best voice of the 20th century.
Queen is one of the groups that anyone names when asked: what are the most important bands of the entire 20th century? Freddie Mercury changed the world of music with the greatest voice to ever touch a microphone.
Freddie was not alone in the band, of course. Alongside him were Roger Taylor, drummer; Brian May, guitarist; and John Deacon, bassist. All of these are still alive, even the group Queen is still performing with Roger and Brian as the original members.
Freddie Mercury left, but artificial intelligence is very bold
It has been more than 31 years since Freddie Mercury died at the young age of 45. No one should die so young, especially not when you have the best voice in living memory. He could sing opera, pop, rock and reggae. There was no octave that could resist him.
And in our heads, Freddie Mercury (Farrokh Bulsara his birth name) will always be a middle-aged, energetic man with a good shock of black hair. But what would he look like now if he hadn’t passed away in 1991?
Time has allowed us to see Brian May and Roger Taylor grow old. And very gracefully too, giving concerts, being public and accessible people, proudly carrying the pride of being members of one of the greatest bands in history.
Well, we’d better stop imagining what Freddie Mercury would look like now because artificial intelligence has done the job for us. The picture you have above is how OpenAI’s DALL-E tool imagines the singer.
The photo above is how Stable Diffusion, the other great image tool managed by artificial intelligence, imagines it. We would have liked to use Midjourney, but it has been blocked for going too far.
Honestly, they haven’t done good old Freddie Mercury any favors with such images. It’s true that age doesn’t suit anyone, but Freddie looks like he’s been run over.
For those who have been traumatized, there is no reason to take at face value what artificial intelligence imagines, it is only one possibility among many. Freddie could now be full of Botox, have joined a gym, etc.

He is one of the most hated people of the moment and ended up in jail thanks to his anger with Greta Thunberg. Now his case has turned upside down.
Andrew Tate made a name for himself years ago as a successful wrestler. Aggressive, charismatic and with a lot of money. For a decade he has managed to create a loyal following for his controversial statements on social networks. He is now in a Romanian jail, though he is hours away from release.
But to understand who we are talking about and what has happened, it is better to put ourselves in situation. Andrew Tate is famous, but for a few. Enjoy the road to the fall to hell of Tate, the most provocative character of our century.
Tate is also a successful entrepreneur, having founded several businesses, including a home products company and an adult entertainment company. Hence, he is a millionaire, wrestling is not so well paid.
In recent years, Tate has gained notoriety for his controversial views on topics such as feminism, politics and life in general. He is particularly known for his stance against women and his derogatory comments.
This has earned him notoriety on social networks, where he has attracted a large following of supporters of his views, as well as critics who condemn him for his views.
A fight with Greta Thunberg that ended in jail for Tate
Due to some messages in favor of the climate and against highly polluting cars that Greta Thunberg shared via Twitter, Andrew Tate decided to make the joke of answering her through the same social network.
In the video, Andrew Tate is smoking cigars and carrying pizza boxes. In it, Tate brags about owning many high-end and highly polluting cars, assuring that he will continue to drive them and emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions. pic.twitter.com/ehhOBDQyYU
What he didn’t know was that pizza boxes on his desk would reveal to Romanian police that he was in the country, a territory that was looking for him on charges of organized crime, human trafficking and rape.
Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan will be transferred from prison and placed under house arrest in Romania after more than two months behind bars.
They have been in detention because they are in the midst of an ongoing criminal investigation on charges of organized crime, human trafficking and rape.
The transfer to their home was ordered Friday by a Romanian court, CNN reported. The Tate brothers – who deny the allegations – were arrested in the country in December 2022, but have not yet been formally charged.
Romanian police alleged last year that the brothers and others close to them had formed an organized criminal group that stretched from Romania to Britain and the United States for the purpose of human trafficking.
Authorities alleged that some victims were deceived “into believing they intended to enter into a marriage/cohabitation relationship” while being transported to Romania and subsequently sexually exploited with physical violence and coercion.
At least six victims were allegedly “sexually exploited by the organized criminal group,” according to a statement from Romania’s Directorate for Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT).
Since last year ive been in 24 hour lockdown. No yard time.
Pacing a 3metre cell with zero electronics or outside contact. Absolute clarity of mind. Real thoughts. Real plans.
Authorities also allege that one of the suspects raped a victim on two separate occasions in March 2022. The Tate brothers have insisted on their innocence.
“There is no evidence in my file because I have done nothing wrong. Everyone knows I’m innocent,” Andrew Tate said in January after being taken in for questioning.
Romanian police have searched 12 properties as part of their investigation. And Romanian authorities have seized assets belonging to Andrew Tate worth some 3.5 million euros, including high-end vehicles, luxury watches and sums of money in several different currencies.
Andrew Tate is one of the most controversial and contentious figures on the Internet. His defenders have always felt that he is a free soul and that he was a role model. His detractors the opposite.
This investigation will put the former fighter in his place. The question we ask ourselves is: will he be remembered as one of the good guys or one of the bad guys? Time will tell.

We analyze Terra Nil, an environmental strategy game where the objective is to transform a wasteland into a beautiful habitable place.
You know that Netflix has bet on video games as a way to attract customers, reach more people and offer a better experience to its current users. More content for the same money is a good idea.
This is due to the fact that Netflix has a good set up, since they banned account sharing to users a few months ago and that their prices do not stop rising. Almost 20 euros per month counts the good subscription with 4K and HDR.
And from all this new policy has come something that we now have in our hands: the new video game Terra Nil, a complex environmental strategy game whose objective is to transform a desolate wasteland into a prosperous and balanced ecosystem.
You can pay 25 € for it on Steam or you can access it with your Android or iPhone and play for free… as long as you have an active Netflix subscription. It’s caught me by days.
You feel God in a barren land
And, at the beginning, there was none. As if it were the Bible, Terra Nil offers us a barren world where our job will be to turn it into a paradise. It can also be interpreted as a vision 100 years in the future.
But the seemingly burdensome task is made satisfyingly easy for players: all you have to do is place a windmill on a stone surface, where it will provide electricity to the machines.
The toxin scrubber and irrigator are crucial, whether you are restoring a continental zone, a polar zone or a patch of rainforest.
The scrubber detoxifies the surrounding space, preparing it to sprout new life; the irrigator provides the crucial moisture needed to get that process going, at least until you have the tools to make it rain.
A polyp collector, once discharged into the sea, will grow you a nice coral reef full of crustaceans, mollusks and anything with a shell, and easily recyclable atomic reactors bring heat and electricity to regions where a windmill can’t do the job.
Recycling is another vital part of the process, as is the reintroduction of local wildlife. Once a region’s nature has been restored, it’s time to move on.
Every piece of machinery you deposit on the ground must be collected before being recycled in the aircraft in which you will depart. You leave knowing that the interaction between the local fauna and flora will keep the region alive, without the need for human intervention.
This is the juxtaposition on which Terra Nil is based: the game will make you feel almost like a god every time you see the trees re-emerge and your first bears come out of the forest, but at the end of each mission, you will have done your job and they won’t need you anymore.
The strategy is in the placement of equipment
The game is mainly about tactical building placement, but it is more like a puzzle than a regular city builder.
When placing each machine, you have to make sure that it can restore as much land as possible and that they do not overlap too much, to avoid wasting resources.
Similarly, you have to place everything so that it is easy to recycle at the end of the day: your recycling drones, no matter how advanced, have their limits.
Even on the hardest of the three difficulty levels, Terra Nil is more forgiving than expected. Everything from its simple interface to an easy-to-understand tutorial and a fantastically beautiful game guide makes environmental restoration go smoothly.
The music and sound effects are very relaxing, and after each successfully restored map, there is a moment when you can simply appreciate your work.
While a little more friction wouldn’t have hurt, and the variation from map to map is modest, by keeping it simple, developer Free Lives spreads a clear message: saving the planet could be very easy if we wanted to. All that’s missing is a toxin scrubber.
Here comes the real criticism of the Netflix game: it’s too simple and unambitious.
It is true that it is a Netflix game designed for a massive audience and little given to video games, but I think they could have started with a premise as simple as this, and then gradually complicate it, as Hogwarts Legacy does.
If you have a Netflix subscription, don’t hesitate to try it out, but if you’re thinking of spending 25 euros to buy it on Steam, that’s a different story.

The two-time world champion returned to Formula 1 because he still had a lot of gasoline to burn. Now he not only has a good car, but also the ingenuity to go viral.
El Nano, as the general public calls him. We also have the nickname Magic Alonso. Be that as it may, Fernando Alonso is breaking records in his 20th season. He is already over 40 years old and still unstoppable.
The Formula 1 driver of Asturian origin is on a roll this year with his new team, Aston Martin. The English team has relied on him to make his car a car at the height of the championship. So far they have two races… two podiums.
Only Red Bull is ahead right now, and it seems difficult to catch Checo Perez and Max Verstappen. But if there is one thing Nano has shown us is that anything is possible. The 33 is closer than ever.
A machine on the track, a mass phenomenon in networks
Good old Fernando Alonso blew up on Twitter the other day after the 2023 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Mercedes driver George Russell posted a thank you tweet on Twitter saying that Alonso had done a great race and that he congratulated him.
And Fernando Alonso decided to thank him with a photo of his front, with a very close shot, imitating how he saw George Russell during the whole race: through the rear-view mirror. And the fact is that the Nano was 3rd and Russell 4th.
This tweet went viral in a few minutes. Right now it has almost 50,000 retweets, 300,000 hearts and 9 million reproductions.
The funny thing about all this is that two days ago the Asturian trolled again on Twitter. This time to the official account of Formula 1 and the Australian Grand Prix, one of the funniest of the whole circuit.
As the official account put an upside down tweet about the race, referring to Australia being upside down, as they are in another hemisphere. Fernando Alonso thought nothing like responding with a picture of his forehead… upside down.
It is one of the most important sagas in the world of video games on its own merits. But did you know that it has a ride in an amusement park?
Few games are more famous than Uncharted. The PlayStation exclusive saga has been enchanting players for a decade thanks to the charisma of Nathan Drake and the action of the story. Do you like to search for treasure? This is the game for you.
The people at PlayStation know that Uncharted attracts so much attention that they not only allowed themselves to release four video games and a spin-off. They also went for a movie… and now an attraction in Port Aventura.
Nathan Drake’s Last Secret is in Tarragona
The attraction, which is scheduled to open this summer (2023), has been kept secret for a long time, but now some details have been revealed about what visitors can expect.
The attraction will be called Uncharted: The Lost Expedition and promises to be a thrilling and fast-paced experience, with a combination of action, adventure and exploration.
Efectivamente, se trata de Uncharted ?? Así será el nuevo skyline de Far West de PortAventura World con la llegada de nuestra nueva atracción.
One of the highlights of the attraction is its advanced technology, very fashionable nowadays in amusement parks. Visitors will be transported to an exotic and dangerous jungle where they will have to face all kinds of obstacles and dangers to find a lost treasure.
To achieve this, the attraction will use special effects, 3D projections, interactive screens and other innovative technologies to create a fully immersive experience.
The attraction will also feature a storyline that will follow the style of the video game saga, in which visitors will have to solve puzzles and overcome challenges to advance in their mission.
Users will also have the opportunity to experience iconic moments from the series, such as climbing cliffs, escaping dangerous enemies and exploring ancient ruins.
The attraction will be located in the Far West area of the theme park, which is being completely renovated to fit the Uncharted environment. The area will also include themed restaurants and souvenir stores (there’s money to be made in merchandising).
In short, the new Uncharted attraction at Port Aventura promises to be a thrilling and exciting experience for fans of the video game saga… and for everyone else as well.

If you spend time on TikTok and Instagram, surely a very strong man without a shirt with sensual music in the background has appeared to you on more than one occasion.
He is the man of the moment. And nobody knows why. Well, we do, since we’re in the business and we’ve been following the phenomenon since all those Reels and videos started coming out on TikTok and Instagram two weeks ago.
Mike O’Hearn is one of the most mediatic and well-known bodybuilders of the last three decades. He shared stages with the greatest and always claimed to be a total natural.
With 54 years already on his shoulders, Mike has been one of the visible faces of the bodybuilding circuit, where he has stood out both for his physique and his attractiveness, hence he has been on the cover of more than 400 magazines throughout his life.
A meme that emerged on top of a horse
If you usually spend time on the interwebs, I’m sure that a few weeks ago you started to see a shirtless gentleman with long hair, while the song What is love, by the artist Haddaway, was playing in the background.
The videos are almost always memes with good old Mike O’Hearn looking seductively at the camera, a funny text, background music and the situation can be anything: on a speedboat, on a horse, getting out of the pool…
This started as a joke among bodybuilding fans, a meme for a small niche of fans who love muscular bodies and gym jokes. The problem is that the phenomenon got out of hand.
Mike O’Hearn’s charisma and appeal is impressive and this got more and more people joining the movement. More and more memes were hitting TikTok and Instagram due to the huge repercussion each creation had.
Apollonian body, long hair and seductive look, Mike serves as an example of many stereotypes within bodybuilding and that’s surely why the joke worked so well. And Mike, who is delighted to meet each other, has given his approval to these creations: he even shares them on his networks.
No credit for this video. Just thought I’d share this from Mike’s twitter as I and I’m sure many other are wondering what he thinks about the memes ?. His twitter is @ MikeOHearn #mikeohearn
He himself said it a few days ago, he does not know how it all originated or how it came about, but he thanks the whole community because he understands that it is a sign of appreciation and love for his work. And the truth is that there is a lot of joke, but also a lot of respect for a professional who has been working for 30 years.
If Chris Bumstead is the most famous bodybuilder of the last years thanks to his four Mister Olympia Classic in a row, Mike O’Hearn has become the bodybuilder of the moment.
