Feeld’s 2025 Report Shows How Digital Platforms Are Reshaping Modern Intimacy

feeldFeeld, the dating app focused on nontraditional relationships and sexual exploration, has released its annual RAW 2025 report, offering a data-driven snapshot of how desire, identity, and connection are shifting across cities and generations.

Drawing on user behavior from around the world, the report points to a continued loosening of rigid sexual labels, with heteroflexible emerging as the fastest-growing sexuality on the platform, up nearly 200 percent year over year. The data suggests that users are increasingly comfortable occupying gray areas between established identities rather than committing to fixed definitions.

The report also highlights changing attitudes toward intimacy and masculinity, including a sharp rise in interest among cisgender men in practices once considered niche or taboo. According to Feeld’s data, cities such as Miami, Seattle, and Berlin are among those where alternative relationship structures and evolving power dynamics are most visible.

Geography plays a central role in the findings. Urban centers like Berlin and Portland consistently rank high for open relationships and sexual experimentation, while cities in Brazil top the list for more traditional or “vanilla” preferences. The contrast underscores how local culture, infrastructure, and social norms continue to shape how people explore intimacy, even on global digital platforms.

‘Suspicious Minds’ Season One Concludes With AI-Focused Finale

By Armando

Suspicious-MindsThe first season of Suspicious Minds, the documentary podcast and video series examining the psychological impact of artificial intelligence, has concluded with its finale episode, “Why Is AI Making Us Crazy?”

Created and directed by filmmaker Sean King O’Grady, the season explores how emerging technologies can influence belief systems and mental health, particularly as AI tools become increasingly personalized, emotionally responsive, and difficult for some users to distinguish from human authority.

The finale revisits ideas from Suspicious Minds: How Culture Shapes Madness, the book by psychiatrist Dr. Joel Gold and philosopher Ian Gold, focusing on how long-standing psychological mechanisms such as pattern-seeking and suspicion can be intensified in contemporary digital environments. Rather than framing AI as a singular cause, the episode situates it within a broader cultural context that can amplify existing vulnerabilities.

Produced by Wondermind and Agoric Media, Suspicious Minds premiered in October 2025 and has ranked among the year’s top podcasts, combining expert analysis with firsthand accounts to examine how technology can shape, and in some cases destabilize, individual perceptions of reality.

The series is now available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other major platforms.

-ataSAG-AFTRA, OpenAI, and actor Bryan Cranston have reached a collaborative agreement to strengthen voice and likeness protections in OpenAI’s generative video model Sora 2, following early reports that Cranston’s likeness was generated without authorization during the model’s invite-only release.

The collaboration also includes the Association of Talent Agents (ATA), United Talent Agency (UTA), and Creative Artists Agency (CAA), all uniting to ensure performers’ rights are safeguarded in the era of synthetic media.

OpenAI confirmed it has reinforced its opt-in protocol, requiring explicit consent for any replication of a performer’s voice or likeness. The company also pledged to respond swiftly to any complaints or misuse, aligning its framework with the principles of the pending NO FAKES Act, federal legislation aimed at preventing unauthorized digital replication.

“I was deeply concerned not just for myself, but for all performers whose work and identity can be misused in this way,” Cranston said. “I am grateful to OpenAI for strengthening its guardrails and respecting our right to manage replication of our voice and likeness.”

Apple Unveils Liquid Glass Design and On-Device AI at WWDC25

At WWDC25, Apple introduced Liquid Glass, a translucent, fluid interface launching across iOS 26, macOS Tahoe, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. Inspired by the spatial feel of visionOS, it dynamically responds to light, motion, and context, refracting backgrounds, reacting to content, and creating a more immersive, unified experience across all Apple devices.

The redesign extends to everything from lock screens and system menus to tab bars and sidebars, all while better aligning with the rounded edges of Apple’s latest hardware. A new yearly naming system also debuts, with all platforms now using the “26” suffix to reflect their 2025 release cycle.

Apple also announced real-time translation for Phone, FaceTime, and Messages, powered by on-device Apple Intelligence. Translations are spoken aloud and displayed as captions without sending data to the cloud. Developers can now integrate this functionality via a new translation API.

Other highlights include enhanced iPad multitasking with a new windowing system, customizable Mac desktops, a Workout Buddy app with voice coaching on Apple Watch, new Apple TV karaoke features, and shared spatial experiences in Vision Pro.
