I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Scientists saw a very weird particle. Some say it came from an exploding, five-dimensional black hole
An unexplained high-energy neutrino detected three years ago could be linked to a primordial black hole, perhaps one more even unusual than previously thought

Big news! I'm leaving CHOICE at the end of November this year! It's been a wild 3 years: Sunscreens investigation, CHOICE's first Walkley nom... Last year we handed out five Shonky Awards and every single one of them resulted in real changes for consumers. But it's time for something different.

Yeah the plumber arrived on the day the insurance contractors were pulling mouldy insulation out of the ceiling and the electrician was replacing a fan that had fallen out of a bathroom roof. I think he saw what was going on and decided to give me some luck

I was expecting a $1k bill. Not only did he clear the blockage, he also replaced the tap. And charged a total of $168. Not even a fee for the work, just the parts

I talked to my plumber about the fact I had a financial limit on the work I could afford: I saw the bill today and just cried from relief. The invoicing was set at a compassionate rate

I had 3 x 1:1 and 1 x 2:1. First two were PCA, second was social and community support and the final shift was a night out with two clients. Two of the shifts involved behavioural issues and one shift involved a drive to a relatively remote location

Melbourne PSA: avoid driving through tunnels under train tracks. And if you're parked in the street, especially where blocked drains and flash flooding are a risk, maybe check your car is high and dry. (This is in Caulfield about 5 mins ago.)

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GAVIN NEWSOM, Governor of the State of California. in accordance with the authority vested in me by the State Constitution and statutes of the State of California, further informed by common sense, do hereby issue the following Order to become effective immediately:
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: All agencies and departments subject to my authority shall refer to Artificial Intelligence and Al as "Artificial Intelligence" and
"Al," notwithstanding any rebranded or different terminology used by the federal government, unless inconsistent with the law.
I FURTHER DIRECT that as soon as hereafter possible, this Order be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State and that widespread publicity and notice be given of this Order.
This Order is not intended to, and does not, create any rights or benefits. substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity, against the State of California, its agencies, departments, entities, officers, employees, or any other person.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand and caused pe Great Seal of the State of lifornia to be grixed this 30th day September 20
