No, Bruce Willis did not sell his face to deepfake firm Deepcake

He did do a deepfake commercial last year.

A spokesperson for Bruce Willis has come forward and told the BBC

In addition, a representative of Deepcake added that currently, only Willis had the rights to his face.

False reports.


As deepfake technology evolves, rumors circulate of actors selling the rights to their image. Is this actually happening or is it just fear mongering? How quickly is the industry progressing?

Man sells 3D-printed firearms to a buyback program for $21,000

The man printed 110 firearms.

An upstate New York man told New York’s WKTV.


“I 3D-printed a bunch of lower receivers and frames for different kinds of firearms,” Kem told WKTV. “And he sees the tote and says, ‘how many firearms do you have?’ And I said, ‘110.’”

The idea came to him after seeing some relevant Twitter posts. New York AG’s “Cash for Guns” program tells residents that they can trade in firearms for money and many people on Twitter were considering doing so. This inspired Kem to use a $200 3D printer he’d gotten for Christmas to make some cold hard cash.

However, Kem added that getting his money was not so easy. He had to haggle and negotiate with the Attorney General’s Office staff. He ended up spending his whole day in this endeavor.

Why Cloud Databases Need to Be In Your Tech Stack

Enterprises are seeking ways to modernize their operations. Emerging as a critical element in the digital transformation tech stack are cloud databases.

Having the right cloud database can help address the range of applications companies depend on and also those that they build, from the cloud to mobile and edge. For companies aspiring to provide better and more personalized customer experiences, implementing a DBaaS (database as a service) should be a key consideration.

Why You Need a Mobile Database

A big reason for the high rate of app abandonment is bad experience, particularly slowness and unreliability. A report by Think Storage Now found that 70% of mobile app users will abandon an app that takes too long to load. And an older but still often cited Compuware study found that 84% of app users will abandon an app if it fails just two times.

These facts help emphasize that the margin of error is small when it comes to keeping users happy and engaged. Providing a fast, reliable experience is key to the success of your mobile app, and using the right database — one built for mobile apps — is key to achieving it.
