The Campaign to Destroy Renee Good

She appeared to have four gunshot wounds, according to The New York Times, which cited a Minneapolis Fire Department report.

A study by three US researchers revealed that T. rex didn't reach their full adult size until around age 40, maturing gradually and steadily over decades rather than stopping abruptly earlier in life . This means the oldest T. rex likely lived well beyond their 40s, enjoying a prolonged'adolescence' where they kept getting bigger and stronger into middle age.
OpenAI is bringing ads to ChatGPT
How to claim Verizon's $20 outage credit Free and Go tier users in the US will start seeing sponsored content soon. A screenshot illustrating what ads will look like in ChatGPT. OpenAI plans to start testing ads inside of ChatGPT in the coming weeks. In a blog post published Friday, the company said adult users in the US of its free and Go tiers (more on the latter in a moment) would start seeing sponsored products and services appear below their conversations with its chatbot. Ads will be clearly labeled and separated from the organic answer, OpenAI said, adding any sponsored spots would not influence the answers ChatGPT generates.
The mother of one of Elon Musk's children is suing xAI over nonconsensual deepfake images
How to claim Verizon's $20 outage credit As the standalone Grok app continues to produce sexualized images of real people, Apple and Google continue to host it in their stores. US author Ashley St. Clair, delivers a speech during a convention of the European Parliament leaders of Identity and Democracy group (ID), on December 3, 2023. Although X removed Grok's ability to create nonconsensual digitally undressed images on the social platform, the standalone Grok app is another story. It reportedly continues to produce "nudified" deepfakes of real people. And now, Ashley St. Clair, a conservative political strategist and mother of one of Elon Musk's 14 children, has sued xAI for nonconsensual sexualized images of her that Grok allegedly produced.
What next for Iran's Supreme Leader?
Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in his secret hideout these days, knows he is now a marked man. He will not be sitting on his veranda anytime soon. When discussing what the United States might do next to help the protesters in Iran, US President Trump has mentioned Qassem Soleimani and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The former, Iran's all-important military strategist in the Middle East, was killed on 3 January 2020 in a drone strike just outside Baghdad's international airport on the president's order. The latter, who was the leader of IS, killed himself and two children by detonating a suicide vest on 27 October 2019 when US forces raided his hideout in northern Syria after the approval of the president.
Police chief retires over Israeli fans ban row
The chief constable of West Midlands Police has retired after damning criticism of a decision to ban Israeli fans from a match against Aston Villa. Craig Guildford's retirement was confirmed on Friday after both Downing Street and the home secretary said this week they had lost confidence in his leadership. He faced numerous calls to resign after apologising for providing incorrect evidence to MPs, which included the denial that AI was used in a report which led to the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from the game on 6 November. Announcing his retirement, Guildford, 52, did not offer an apology and blamed what he described as the political and media frenzy for his decision to step down. I have carefully considered my position and concluded that retirement is in the best interests of the organisation, myself and my family, he said.
Lego's latest educational kit seeks to teach AI as part of computer science, not to build a chatbot
Lego also recognized that it had to build a course that'll work regardless of a teacher's fluency in such subjects. So a big part of developing the course was making sure that teachers had the tools they needed to be on top of whatever lessons they're working on. "When we design and we test the products, we're not the ones testing in the classroom," Silwinski said. "We give it to a teacher and we provide all of the lesson materials, all of the training, all of the notes, all the presentation materials, everything that they need to be able to teach the lesson." Lego also took into account the fact that some schools might introduce its students to these things starting in Kindergarten, whereas others might skip to the grade 3-5 or 6-8 sets.

How to make a Blockbuster VHS sleeve for any movie
Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. It's difficult to explain the Blockbuster experience to those who did not get to experience it. If you never visited one of the video rental chain's over 9,000 locations during the VHS tape heyday, there's even a good chance it may be impossible to understand the ritual of scouring shelves for the perfect Friday night movie: the smell of hundreds of plastic clamshell cases, the distinctly garish interior designs of the 1990s, and early 2000. It is all but a memory, unless you make a pilgrimage to the last brick-and-mortar locale in Bend, Oregon. That's not to say you can't at least some of those nostalgic aesthetics.
ChatGPT to carry adverts for some users
Adverts will soon appear at the top of the AI tool ChatGPT for some users, the company OpenAI has announced. The trial will initially take place in the US, and will affect some ChatGPT users on the free service and a new subscription tier, called ChatGPT Go. This cheaper option will be available for all users worldwide, and will cost $8 a month, or the equivalent pricing in other currencies. OpenAI says during the trial, relevant ads will appear after a prompt - for example, asking ChatGPT for places to visit in Mexico could result in holiday ads appearing. In example screenshots shared by the firm, the ads look like banners.
