"Getting laid off without warning from my copywriting job has done wonders for my work-life-bloodthirsty mob balance," reports Taylor Grayden, 35, of Vancouver. "Back when I had a job I never would've had the free time to organize an unruly rabble and march towards the beach house of (Open AI CEO) Sam Altman. But now I'm getting so much more violent retribution accomplished in a day." [...]

"I felt so lost after I was let go at my analytics firm so my whole department could be replaced by Claude AI," explains Sarah Brightwell, 42, of Kingston, ON. "But then I started learning how to use AI as a tool -- specifically for planning a multi-week siege of the sprawling compound of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei."

"Granted, the attack plans Claude spit out were full of hallucinations, but it got the ball rolling for me to organize my fellow unemployed humans and get marching," Brightwell adds, tightening the bolts on her homemade trebuchet. "After all, AI can't throw a molotov cocktail!" [...]

"Sure, we probably could have avoided this if we'd accompanied our artificial intelligence products with any kind of workable universal basic income system," explains Altman from one of his currently-burning $12.8 million San Francisco homes. "But I'd still rather die with all this money."

CORTINA D'AMPEZZO (ANP) - Zeven van de acht Nederlandse atleten op de Paralympische Spelen zijn zondag aanwezig bij de sluitingsceremonie in Cortina d'Ampezzo. Dat heeft NOC*NSF bekendgemaakt. De sportkoepel liet eerder weten dat er vanwege de aanwezigheid van Rusland en Belarus geen Nederlandse officials bij de sluitingsceremonie zijn.

Tweevoudig gouden medaillewinnaar Jeroen Kampschreur, Niels de Langen, Thijn Speksnijder, Claire Petit, Lisa Bunschoten-Vos, Chris Vos en Dean van Kooij doen mee aan de sluitingsceremonie. Alleen Barbara van Bergen is al zaterdag naar huis gegaan, meldde NOC*NSF.

Met de laatste wedstrijddag nog te gaan, heeft TeamNL zes medailles veroverd. Zitskiër Kampschreur behaalde twee keer goud en zijn collega De Langen twee keer zilver en één keer brons. Snowboardster Bunschoten-Vos greep zilver.

MONTREAL (ANP) - Jens van 't Wout heeft bij de WK shorttrack in Montreal zilver gegrepen op de 500 meter. De 24-jarige Nederlander moest in de finale alleen olympisch kampioen Steven Dubois voor zich dulden. Furkan Akar uit Turkije greep het brons.

Van 't Wout leek eerder te worden uitgeschakeld in de halve finale van de 500 meter. Hij kwam in duel met Akar om de tweede plaats in de race ten val, omdat de schaatsen van beide shorttrackers tegen elkaar kwamen. De meervoudig olympisch kampioen werd toegevoegd aan de finale.

In de finale moest Van 't Wout starten vanaf de lastige vijfde positie. Hij passeerde Akar en daarna ook de Italiaan Thomas Nadalini en de Belg Stijn Desmet. Dubois bleef echter buiten bereik.

Eerder greep Xandra Velzeboer zilver op de 1000 meter.

Brendan Carr posts that he may cancel spectrum permits of ‘mainstream news’ outlets for ‘misleading’ coverage

The Trump administration’s communications licensing tsar fired a warning shot over the US broadcasting industry Saturday, threatening to cancel the spectrum permits of broadcasters pushing what he termed “hoaxes and news distortions”.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chair Brendan Carr posted on social media that broadcasters running “fake news – have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not.”
