How about this awesome ‘Jet Engine’ chair for your office?

By Trevor Mogg Published April 25, 2016

Fancy this as your next office chair? OK, it might not be designed with the workplace in mind, but imagine turning up with this beauty one Monday morning and rolling it to your desk, perhaps uttering a few nonchalant good mornings to your co-workers as you go.

The amazing design is actually the cover of a 737 jet engine, and, with its black leather interior and swiveling base, wouldn’t look out of place beneath a Bond villain’s butt.

The work of UK-based Fallen Furniture (and Boeing, it’s fair to say), the 2x2x2-meter 737 Cowling Chair is, according to its maker, “the epitome of luxury seating,” adding that “this unique and impressive masterpiece would form the centerpiece of any room.” And then some.

Founded by British brothers Harry and Benjamin Tucker, Fallen Furniture first came to our attention back in 2014. The siblings source rare aircraft parts from around the world, working them into gorgeous pieces of furniture like what you see here.

Besides turning engine cowlings into chairs, the pair have also used them to build cocktail bars and reception desks, hand-crafting the interiors from exotic hardwoods or highly lacquered painted wood.

Unique lamps have been created using various wing and exhaust parts, while the wheel of a Boeing 777 and the emergency door of an Airbus 320 have been transformed into coffee tables so stunning you probably wouldn’t want to actually put anything on them.

There’s no price listed for the extraordinary 737 Cowling Chair, but if you do want to buy one, it’s a safe bet you’ll also have to fork out for a few wall demolitions (and rebuilds) to get it into your home or place of work.

Scammers are using AI to fake missing pet photos, and what happens next is horrifying

Criminals are using AI-generated pet photos to convince desperate owners their missing animals have been found, before demanding money and making disturbing threats.

Losing a pet can be heartbreaking, and anyone who's experienced it knows how quickly you'd drop everything if someone called to say they'd found your missing dog or cat. Unfortunately, scammers have learned to exploit that desperation, and AI is making their tricks even more convincing.

A disturbing new scam is targeting pet owners across the UK, with criminals using AI-generated images to pretend they've found missing animals. They then demand money for their return, sometimes going as far as threatening to kill the pets if the owners refuse to pay. According to a BBC report, several pet owners have already experienced these attacks, with scammers using convincing photographs, emotional stories, and increasingly aggressive messages to pressure them into paying.

AI can turn your Instagram posts into scam that know a little too much about you

Your public social media posts could be helping scammers create emails that feel personal, and existing AI safeguards aren't doing enough to stop them.

We've all received those suspicious emails claiming we've won something, missed a delivery, or need to urgently update our bank details. Most are easy enough to ignore, especially when they're full of strange wording or have absolutely nothing to do with us. But what happens when a scam email actually knows what you've been up to lately? That's where things get a little worrying.

Researchers at the University of Texas at Arlington have found that AI can use information people share publicly on social media to create phishing emails that feel personal. And we're not just talking about knowing your name or where you work. These emails can reference things you've recently done, places you've visited, or even something you've been looking forward to. The researchers showed how widely available AI models could gather these details and turn them into targeted messages, potentially letting scammers reach large numbers of people without spending hours researching each person individually.
