Product placement is one of the oldest marketing techniques in the book.Brands negotiate for years to get their products a mention in a movie script, and even sponsored social media posts can take more than a month of phone calls and emails to arrange.But startups are starting to use generative AI to flip the script on in-video product placement, including Rembrand, a new venture launched by ad tech vet Omar Tawakol in February.

The surge of flooding around the Dnipro River in southern Ukraine subsided further on Sunday, leaving authorities grappling with a disaster in which at least 13 people have been killed, at least 29 others are reported missing and dozens of communities lack access to clean water.Ukraine's State Emergency Service, local volunteer groups and aid agencies are struggling to respond to the consequences of the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam on Tuesday, which sent a torrent of water from the reservoir upstream coursing into the river basin.

WASHINGTON A senior Biden administration official says that U.S. spy satellites detected an explosion at the Kakhovka dam just before it collapsed, but American analysts still do not know who caused the dam's destruction or how exactly it happened.The official said that satellites equipped with infrared sensors detected a heat signature consistent with a major explosion just before the dam collapsed, unleashing massive floodwaters downstream.

A deliberate explosion inside the Kakhovka dam, on the front line of the war in Ukraine, most likely caused its collapse on Tuesday, according to engineering and munitions experts, who said that structural failure or an attack from outside the dam were possible but less plausible explanations.Ukrainian officials blamed Russia for the failure, noting that Moscow's military forces which have repeatedly struck Ukrainian infrastructure since invading last year controlled the dam spanning the Dnipro River in the city of Nova Kakhovka, putting them in a position to detonate explosives from within.
