A gorse (Ulex europaeus) plant is pictured in Cogua, Cundinamarca Department, Colombia on October 9, 2026. The thorny gorse shrub (Ulex europaeus), introduced to Colombia from Europe in the mid-20th century, has spread from Bogota into Andean ecosystems and high-altitude paramos, unique tropical mountain wetlands known for their water-storage capacity. Highly flammable, the invasive plant fuels wildfires that have been exacerbated by the current El Niño climate phenomenon, described by meteorological agencies as one of the strongest on record.

This photo illustration taken on November 10, 2026, shows phone displaying an Instagram video featuring AI-generated comedian "Tiffany Sloane," whom California-based comedian George Brett Olson has accused of stealing his jokes, in front of a screen displaying TikTok videos from various users. A growing chorus of stand-up comedians say artificial intelligence is enabling the theft of their intellectual labor. The trend is part of what experts call a mass-scale creative heist facing artists -- from painters to musicians -- as AI extracts from their work without compensation or attribution, leaving them with little recourse. George Brett Olson, another California comedian, called the trend "demoralizing to artists" and blasted "the pornification of women." One bodacious, OnlyFans-linked avatar -- "Tiffany Sloane," with over 370,000 followers -- lifted not just his joke, but every element of his performance. "It's on the stage I was on," Olson said. "She's wearing the same outfit I wore. It's exactly the same joke, except she butchered the punchline." (Photo by AFP via Getty Images) / TO GO WITH AFP STORY by Bill McCarthy and Anuj Chopra
