FRANKIE’S FAVOURITE EATERIES

SFD is back and so is Island Foods! 

The legendary roti, jerk, and patty spot from King and Dufferin (and the CNE, of course) is back in Queen west village. Just north of Queen right around the corner from the Drake Hotel is one of my favourite places for calypso inspired foods in the City of Toronto. 

The warm faces are there greeting you and the food is just as good as ever. Spicy patty and goat roti with extra gravy for me is all I need. Water please and not eating before 1 because I'm on a quest to lose a few L B S .

Don't miss this one! And welcome back- 😍

TECH SPOTLIGHT

YouTube is developing two tools to help creators find and remove AI-generated videos that use their voices or faces without consent. The first tool, to be added to YouTube's Content ID system, will detect AI-generated singing voices, aiding famous musicians like Drake or Taylor Swift in identifying AI-made songs mimicking them.

The second tool will help public figures, such as influencers and actors, locate AI-generated videos of their faces. However, YouTube hasn't confirmed whether it will use these tools to proactively find deepfakes of non-famous people.

While YouTube’s guidelines already prohibit scams and deceptive content, users still need to report these videos for removal. As AI-created content surges online, YouTube aims to “enhance human creativity, not replace it,” with these new detection tools.

FRANKIE’S SONG OF THE WEEK

I have a buddy Adriano Belli, and we have this funny association with this song. I'm not sure why? I think it has to do with how often we heard it at the original Polazzo on Carlingview. We send it to each other often. It's the best!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Here are a few great quotes from Charlie Chaplin on laughter and a positive outlook:

• "A day without laughter is a day wasted."

• "To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it!"

• "You'll never find a rainbow if you're looking down."

• "Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself."
