She’s Not Real…. But ‘It’ Has Plenty of Followers

Her fans think they found true love — but she’s not real. 

Milla Sofia is an artificial intelligence-generated influencer whose sultry photos on Twitter and TikTok are racking up thousands of likes from deluded social media users, Futurism reported.

“[I’m a] 19-year-old virtual girl from Helsinki Finland. I was made by AI. Check my other social media accounts from the link below,” reads the Twitter bio on Sofia’s account. 

Sofia, who goes by @AiModelMilla on her verified Twitter account, is certifiably fake, yet her 7,790 followers can’t help but drool over bikini photos of her in Greece.

“Still in Santorini, and I’m ‘Greek’-ing out over how to leave this paradise!” reads a punny tweet from July 19 with over 35,000 views and 2,000 likes.

‘Wow, look at you, so stunningly beautiful with a gorgeous smile,” writes one Twitter user.

Is digital beauty also only skin deep?

Do most of her followers know? What do you think?

Tour de France – Anatomy of an Illegal [Dangerous] Sprint

Anatomy of an Illegal Sprint

Jasper Philipsen started his sprint from way over on the left side of the road and swung all the way over to the right in front of the bunch sprint. Illegal move #1.

  1. Red up arrow shows second line (lane) of Jasper Philipsen (Green jersey). Starts to go off-line to the right instead of staying on his second original line – the legal way to sprint. Illegal move #2.

UCI Cycling Rule 2.3.036 Sprints
Riders shall be strictly forbidden to deviate from the lane they selected when launching into the sprint and, in so doing, endangering others.

  1. Philipsen continues to veer to the right off his second original lane (red up arrow).
  2. Philipsen illegally bullies Grmaye Biniam (white jersey with yellow sleeves) to the right. Biniam swerves to avoid crash. (Red arrow up shows original lane). Illegal move #3.
  3. Philipsen’s illegal move complete but he’s not satisfied with just that.
  4. Philipsen continues to move to the right forcing Biniam toward the barrier in a dirty move. #Illegal move #4.
  5. Philipsen forces Biniam within inches of the barrier causing Biniam to lean away from barrier and completely back off so he won’t crash.

Philipsen uses Mark Cavendish draft to go on and illegally win the stage. Cavendish had a mechanical rear gear malfunction in the middle of the sprint which slowed his forward momentum. But, if Philipsen had stayed on the required sprint lane he was originally on, Cavendish probably would have won, even with the mechanical. Plus, Biniam was denied the opportunity to sprint around Cavendish by the bullying move by Philipsen.

Where are the Tour de France UCI judges? AWOL AGAIN! Allowing a dangerous second sprint by Philipsen.

And where is the press? So willing to let this slide…

Beginning to End – From left side of road all the way to the right pushing Biniam into the barrier.
