While we don’t need to worry about an asteroid wiping us out like in Armageddon, experts warn that a bioweapon
The hospital system is barely functional. Disease is running rampant. Medical workers are being kidnapped, tortured, and killed. And the world is letting it happen.

In the ensuing weeks, as the bombing of Gaza continued, the letters became an unintentional record of two Palestinians sharing themselves unreservedly as they witnessed and wrote through mourning—personal … Read more
In the second of the Back to the Future movies, Michael J. Fox’s character, Marty McFly, wore a jacket that rapidly air-dried itself after a lake dunking. ‘Drying mode on,’ the jacket’s robot voice intoned before quickly confirming, ‘Your jacket is now dry.’ If real, this would be such a brilliant piece of travel kit, especially as it no doubt had warm-up and cool-down functionality, too.

Frederic Forrest, der in seiner Karriere, die in den 1960er Jahren begann, in mehr als 80 Filmen und Fernsehsendungen auftrat und seine vielleicht denkwürdigsten Auftritte im selben Jahr, 1979, in zwei sehr unterschiedlichen Filmen ablieferte – dem romantischen Drama „The Rose“ und die Vietnamkriegs-Odyssee „Apocalypse Now“ – starb am Freitag in seinem Haus in Santa Monica, Kalifornien.

On Tuesday morning, the merchants of artificial intelligence warned once again about the existential might of their products. Hundreds of AI executives, researchers, and other tech and business figures, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Bill Gates, signed a one-sentence statement written by the Center for AI Safety declaring that “mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.”

Emilio Estevez sagte diese Woche, dass Laurence Fishburne sein Leben gerettet habe, als er 14 Jahre alt war, nachdem er auf den Philippinen in Treibsand gefallen war.
“Ich war am Sinken und ich sah nur, wie Fishburne mich ansah und sagte: ‘Nimm meine Hand!’ und er hat mich zurück auf das Boot gezogen”, sagte er Jennifer Hudson in ihrer Talkshow am Dienstag in einem Interview mit seinem Vater Martin Sheen.
Der „Breakfast Club“-Schauspieler sagte, er habe Fishburne vor dem lebensbedrohlichen
