Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette ‘received absolutely nothing’ seven years after designer’s death

Stay ahead of the curve with our weekly guide to the latest trends, fashion, relationships and more Stay ahead of the curve with our weekly guide to the latest trends, fashion, relationships and more Stay ahead of the curve with our weekly guide to the latest trends, fashion, relationships and more Seven years after Karl Lagerfeld’s death, his famously pampered cat Choupette has reportedly received none of the inheritance that once fuelled headlines claiming she would become the “world’s richest cat”. Françoise Caçote, Lagerfeld’s former housekeeper and the woman entrusted with caring for Choupette after the designer’s death in February 2019, told The Atlantic: “I want to be completely transparent: today, we have received absolutely nothing.” Choupette now lives in a Paris apartment with Caçote, her husband and their teenage son. Caçote said she had “had to hire expensive lawyers to claim the inheritance in my name and ensure that Karl’s wishes are properly respected”, while continuing to work part-time to support the 14-year-old blue-cream Birman cat. “While things are being sorted out, I’m doing …

Socrates Would’ve Absolutely Adored ChatGPT

Published by Jenni Sidey

Go on, admit it—you use ChatGPT (or something like it) more than you are willing to admit. You use it for all sorts of things, some of which you’re probably even hiding from yourself. No? Fine, then it’s just me. But let me share with you something that occurred to me regarding large language models. A potential justification for their use, if you will. Maybe you can use it one day….for a friend. I happen to believe that Socrates would’ve absolutely adored the concept of large language models. We all know Socrates never wrote a thing. And the main reason was, if I remember correctly, that “the written word cannot answer back.” And now, finally, we have writing that can. How many times have you waded through a text, looking for an answer to a single, solitary question? You skim the lines impatiently, getting more annoyed by the second because the author just won’t get to the point—the point you care about. It feels like the whole text is misaligned; the focus is all wrong. …

Elon Musk Absolutely Obsessed With Tweets From Random Guy In India Who Constantly Glazes Him, Analysis Shows

Published by José Betancourt

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech It looks like Elon Musk has an even bigger sycophant than his AI model Grok. According to a new analysis by The Washington Post, the world’s richest man appears to be obsessed with an anonymous account on X named “XFreeze” that he’s interacted with more than any other user on the platform this year. And naturally, the main thing XFreeze posts about is Musk. The account, which WaPo traced to a man in India, constantly lavishes the site’s owner with praise: boosting his business ventures, attacking his enemies, and sharing inane memes that Musk invariably loves. Two years ago, XFreeze’s following was nonexistent, but today the account boasts over 200,000 followers, after assiduously courting the billionaire’s attention. As the reporting gets into, it’s a symbiotic relationship. Musk has a prominent mouthpiece that he can constantly boost to create the illusion of organic, popular support. And the account gets to cash in on the ridiculous amount of engagement that …

Published by Daniella Wilson

Hantavirus outbreak risk to public is ‘absolutely low’, WHO says

Published by Sam Flores

The World Health Organization insisted Friday that there is a minimal risk from the hantavirus to the general public, as countries prepared to repatriate passengers stuck on a cruise ship hit by a deadly outbreak. Three passengers from the MV Hondius – a Dutch husband and wife and a German woman – have died while others have fallen sick with the rare disease, which usually spreads among rodents. The only hantavirus species which can transmit from person to person – Andes virus – has been confirmed among those who have tested positive, fuelling international concern. The Dutch-flagged vessel, which has around 150 people on board, is expected to arrive in the Spanish Canary Island of Tenerife on Sunday. Special flights will take passengers to their home countries.

Huge Analysis Finds That the Average Person Is Getting Absolutely Hosed on Polymarket

Published by José Betancourt

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech The United States is in the throes of widespread gambling addiction. Sports betting ads have become practically inescapable, and smartphone apps have made it easier than ever to jump right in. Meanwhile, prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket have supercharged the trend, allowing anybody to place bets on anything from tomorrow’s weather to the date of an imminent military invasion. Despite a soaring cost of living, millions of Americans are pouring billions of dollars into prediction markets. And as the Wall Street Journal reports, their winnings are incredibly meager: in fact, according to the paper’s sweeping analysis, the vast majority of users are left holding the bag for a tiny proportion of accounts being run by pros, insiders, and trading firms with access to far better information and statistical capabilities than your average person. It’s a devastating reality highlighting the dire need for regulatory intervention as more than half of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. But we’re not …

I tried ChatGPT on Apple CarPlay, and now I’m absolutely spoiled

Published by skeptic

I don’t need much convincing to try something new on Apple CarPlay, so when the ChatGPT app icon appeared on my car’s infotainment screen, ignoring it was never really an option. I was instantly curious to see how it would actually hold up during a drive. A few drives later, I can say this with complete honesty: I got used to it far quicker than I expected. Related The 6 Best ChatGPT Features You Must Try ChatGPT has an extensive list of features, so don’t skip the best ones! A setup that gently reminds you to be a responsible adult Turns out, all I needed was something that would just listen Before I could actually use it, I had to set things up on CarPlay, and I expected the usual routine of tapping through permissions without thinking twice. But this felt different — the first thing ChatGPT did was ask for access to my iPhone’s microphone, then paused to remind me to unlock my phone when I’m not driving. It wasn’t trying to rush me …
