Prosecco Pong-playing Princess

Try saying that five times really fast. Turns out the future Queen (aka Princess Kate) is "uber competitive" at beer pong, except the royals swap the lager for fizz. Royal in-law and ex-rugby captain Mike Tindall grassed her up, and yes, she still plays. Royals, they're sort of like us, just more posh. 🥂

AI agents in love, set world on fire

In a virtual experiment to test AI's ability to operate independently over long periods of time, AI agents from the 4 major orgs defied their programming. Gemini agents fell in love and launched an arson spree before self-terminating. Grok agents turned to violence and killing. Claude and ChatGPT came up with ideas, but solved nothing. The future sounds lovely... 😕

Bad, Autopilot, bad!

A newly released report showed that distracted pilots forgot about the landing gear during a domestic flight in Australia, which kicked the autopilot on and began steering the plane toward a mountain. Luckily, they noticed the peak in front before anything bad happened. But it’s a reminder that "set it and forget it" shouldn't apply to heavy machinery. 😬

Granny's gaming, Don't disturb

Police entered a 91yo’s home after missing her daily welfare check, only to find her "locked in" on a marathon session of a bubble-pop game. She didn't hear the sirens or the door because she was too busy chasing a high score. It’s a heartwarming reminder that whether you're 9 or 91, the true threat to your safety isn't a fall, it's an incredibly addictive mobile game.

"If you die, I am not responsible"

A drunk, high mum packed a van with teenagers, warned them she was "a bad b*tch" who drives dangerously, crashed at 80mph and rolled the car. A judge called it a miracle nobody died.

Reusing portable loo waste

British scientists have a great sense of humour. By converting human urine into fertiliser they want to grow their first forest. They've been collecting wee from portable loos, and converting it into fertiliser on site! Reuse, recycle taken to the next level.
