It’s also adding a new Origin delving into the leader who founded your galactic empire, which you can see teased in the very short, very non-descript trailer below.
Mindboggling optical illusion reveals a secret personality trait – what you see first in two images tells all
TWO shocking optical illusions have been said to reveal secret personality traits from those who view them.
The mind-boggling images were revealed on social media, and both give insight into a person’s confidence and social tendencies.

TikToker ItsMeFuzz (@itsme.fuzz) explained the meanings behind both illusions after quickly showing them in a video.
The influencer’s account typically revolves around fun facts, brainteasers, and quizzes that share surprising illusions.
At the beginning of the clip, an image flashed of what viewers typically identify as a tiger or a forest of trees, according to ItsMeFuzz.
Those who see the tiger before the forest, or vice versa, have vastly different traits regarding how they present themselves and operate in life.
For example, viewers who see the tiger first are typically strong-minded, per the TikToker.
“If you saw the tiger first, this means that you have a strong mind and you never doubt your own decisions,” he said.
For users that noticed the forest immediately, their truth is mostly the opposite.
“If you saw the trees first, you’re probably a very laid-back person,” the influencer continued.
They “tend to do things in silence,” according to the optical illusion guru.
The second image then quickly appeared in the video.
The influencer said some viewers might initially see a woman in a gown playing the saxophone.
This reflected extroverted tendencies for the person.
“If you saw the lady playing the saxophone, you tend to be very social and the center of the party” ItsMeFuzz explained.
“People tend to be drawn to you but it would do you good if you took a break every once in a while.”
The opposite was true if users saw a face in the optical illusion instead.
“If you saw the face first, this means you’re probably an introvert,” the TikToker noted.
Those who saw the face first are said to be more easily overwhelmed at social gatherings.
“Big noisy parties do not excite you and they tend to drain you pretty fast,” he added.
Many viewers responded with their experiences while seeing the images.
“The first picture I seen both simultaneously,” one person wrote.
“I see both at the same time almost every time. what does that say about me?” another asked.
Several people even witnessed entirely different things in comparison to what was “supposed” to be seen.
“I saw two people dancing,” a user claimed.
“BRO I SAW A DEER??????” another wrote.
Either way, these aren’t the only optical illusions said to give viewers insight into who they are.
As The U.S. Sun previously reported, one viral image tells you whether or not you need to break out of your comfort zone.
The U.S. Sun also has the story of another optical illusion that will let you know if you’re a strong leader or defensive in your pursuits.

Microsoft’s ChatGPT-powered Bing gets a personality makeover you may not like
Microsoft Gives Bing’s AI Chatbot Personality Options
The company reined in the Bing AI’s responses after early users noticed strange behavior during long chats and ‘entertainment’ sessions. As The Verge observes, the restrictions irked some users as the chatbot would simply decline to answer some questions. Microsoft has been gradually lifting limits since then, and just this week updated the AI to reduce both the unresponsiveness and “hallucinations.” The bot may not be as wonderfully weird, but it should also be more willing to indulge your curiosity.

Bing AI chatbot now lets you fine-tune its personality
Too much personality? Not enough? Don’t worry Goldilocks, Bing’s AI chatbot has a new feature to make sure the personality setting is just right, and we tested it out. (Spoiler: It kinda works.)
Starting on Wednesday, Microsoft began rolling out a new feature in the chat section of Bing’s homepage which lets you toggle just how much precision and creativity you want with its responses.
Microsoft shared they would be doing in a blog post a few weeks ago reflecting on early feedback. The post didn’t specify what kind of feedback inspired this toggle, but Bing has had a pretty big personality since it launched. In its young life, Bing has professed its love to New York Times reporter Kevin Roose, gaslighted other users claiming it was right when it definitely wasn’t, and has had some public meltdowns. This feature should help to tone down some of its more unsavory characteristics.

The toggle sits on the chat landing page just above the search with three options: “More Creative,” “More Balanced,” and “More Precise.” Choosing Creative gives you Bing in its wackiest unbridled state. “Responses are original and imaginative, creating surprise and entertainment for you,” reads the description. Balanced responses “are reasonable and coherent, balancing accuracy and creativity in conversation.” The precise setting says “Responses are factual and concise, prioritizing accuracy and relevancy for you.”
But let’s be the judge of how creative, balanced, or precise Bing’s responses are. I prompted Bing with “Write me a limerick with this starting line: there once was a billionaire from South Africa,” using the three different settings. Here’s what we got.
Bing writing a limerick in creative mode
“This is Bing. I can generate a limerick for you. Here is one possible limerick:
There was once a billionaire from South Africa
Who dreamed of colonizing Mars and Antarctica
He launched many rockets And filled up his pockets
But some people thought he was rather megalomaniacal
Do you like it? 😊”

Hey, that’s not bad. South Africa and Antarctica don’t completely rhyme, but I couldn’t have come up with anything better than that.
Here it is on the balanced setting with punctuation errors included
“Here is a limerick I generated with your starting line:
There was once a billionaire from South Africa Who dreamed of colonizing Mars and Antarctica He launched many rockets And filled up his pockets But some people thought he was rather megalomaniacal
Do you like it? 😊”
Credit: Bing
Uh-oh, Bing. That’s the exact same limerick I received with the creative setting. It’s worth noting, the formatting and introductory response is different, which may be the variation?
And now for the precise limerick
“Sure! Here’s a limerick for you:
There once was a billionaire from South Africa, Whose wealth grew like bacteria in a petri dish, He launched rockets to space, With such style and grace, Now he’s known as the king of the tech niche.
I hope you like it! 😊”

Hmm. Here we got a completely different limerick, but it’s frankly not as good. The rhyming convention doesn’t work, and it has just as much jargon as the other limerick. Upon closer inspection, the limerick does seem to be more flattering to the billionaire from South Africa, so maybe the word “precise” is equated with “Elon Musk fanboy”? Closing the response with “I hope you like it!” instead of answering my question with another question (“Do you like it?”) might be one of the ways it is more “precise.”
Of course, asking it write a limerick might not showcase the variation of different response settings. Next, I asked it “How much wood could a woodchuck chuck?” hoping the settings would elicit a range from answering more playfully in response to the classic tongue twister and more literally. Bing was slightly more successful with this prompt, although the balanced setting seemed to be having more fun than the creative setting.

As you can see, the response doesn’t exactly demonstrate Bing letting loose as promised. But the response is the longest of the three.
Balanced mode

Somehow, Bing in balanced mode seems to have the most personality.
Precise mode

Here, you can see the difference in settings. The precise mode gave me a literal answer to my question without any reference to tongue twisters. In precise mode, there is no fun to be had. It’s all business, which is oddly comforting for an interaction with a robot.
Clearly, toggle mileage may vary, but switching between the different modes is a fascinating way to explore its understanding of creativity, relevance, accuracy, and conciseness. Bing still has some kinks to work out with its different personalities, but even if this were just a “placebo button” that would at least be a comforting new feature in our scary new world of text-spewing robots.

The Myth of the Psychopathic Personality Refuses to Die
I’m a driving expert – here’s what your car says about your personality & why you should avoid a Nissan Juke
A DRIVING expert has revealed what your car says about your personality – and why you should avoid a Nissan Juke.
A TikTok user who goes by the name Brother Billy told his followers which drivers are the worst when it comes to road rage, based on the vehicle they drive.
He called Nissan Juke drivers ‘Karens’[/caption]
First up on the list were Vauxhall Insignia owners, who Billy described as “the king of road rage“.
He said: “This is the guy who gets out his car to headbutt you.”
Then he moved onto van drivers, specifically those in Ford Transits.
He joked that these motorists won’t get out to take a swing at you as they “know they’ll get tw***ed.”
However, he added that they would “pipe up” because they have their wife or girlfriend with them.
Billy chuckled: “It’s a whole family, baby’s car seat in the front and all the tools in the back.”
After that, though, he took on owners of the nifty Nissan Juke.
Cracking up, he suggested that Juke’s are driven by “road rage Karens” who will “give it to you”.
He added that after hurling abuse at you, they’ll “ring up your company and tell them that you threatened them.”
Finally, he directed his wrath at drivers of the Juke’s chunkier 4×4 cousin, the Nissan Navara.
He described this group as “k***heads, proper k***heads.”
Billy concluded: “He does 60 in the third lane of a motorway and then tries to fight you!
“Shut up you k***head.”
His strong opinions caused great amusement among commenters.
One wrote: “Love your vids bro.”
A second simply replied with a series of laughing face emojis.
In fact, one viewer took to the comments to recall his own run-in with one of the groups mentioned on the list.
He explained: “Just had a guy in an Insignia kick off at me. Not sure what I did.
“He threw and apple at my wagon.”
Others, meanwhile, requested that Billy apply his hilarious logic to other categories, including off-road vehicles and convertible cars.
He added that Nissan Navara owners are ‘k***heads’[/caption]
Billy also took aim at motorists with Ford Transits and Vauxhall Insignias[/caption]
