Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article implies that it will be covering a wide range of topics related to science and technology. However, upon reading further it becomes clear that this is not the case as only two individuals are being honored at this event: Kim Kardashian and Elon Musk.

Elon Musk offered some wacky poses on the carpet, throwing his hands in the air Evita Perón-style or frowning while looking upward as if the sky was falling. He answered reporters' questions, joking with Variety that he predicts an AI candidate could win the White House in 2032.
Kim Kardashian arrived on the later side (as she is prone to do) in a skin-tight white gown. Her hair stylist Chris Appleton and a makeup artist gave her final touchups behind the step-and-repeat before she and mom Kris Jenner walked the carpet.
Fallacies
(80%)
The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the Breakthrough Prize is known as the 'Oscars of Science' without providing any evidence or explanation for this claim. Additionally, there are multiple instances where the author quotes individuals and presents their opinions as fact, which can be seen in statements such as 'Kim Kardashian arrived on the later side (as she is prone to do) in a skin-tight white gown.' This creates an illusion of objectivity while actually presenting subjective information. The article also contains examples of inflammatory rhetoric, such as when Elon Musk jokingly predicts that an AI candidate could win the White House in 2032.

Olivia Wilde wore a black gown with a massive side cutout that spanned the entirety of her midriff down to her legs at the 10th Annual Breakthrough Prize Ceremony.
The dress was held up only by a long white bow tied at the hips and several panels of material were unaccounted for in the LBD she wore earlier this week.

Deception

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article implies that Olivia Wilde was missing half of her dress on the red carpet when in fact she wore a full-length turtleneck and long sleeves with only a side cutout that spanned her midriff down to her legs. Secondly, the author uses sensationalism by describing Wilde's dress as 'a whole new level of nakedness'. Thirdly, the article is selectively reporting on Olivia Wilde's fashion choices and not providing any context or information about other events she may have attended that week.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains two examples of a fallacy: Appeals to Authority and Inflammatory Rhetoric. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Olivia Wilde is seemingly the biggest supporter of the sideless trend, without providing any evidence or sources for this claim. Additionally, the use of inflammatory rhetoric such as
The only thing keeping the dress from coming undone was a long white bow that was loosely tied at the hips.
With several panels of material that were unaccounted for, the LBD was held up only by a sheer piece of fabric around her upper back.
Bias
