Image: Google I stepped into a room lined with bookshelves, stacked with ordinary programming and architecture texts. One shelf stood slightly askew, and behind it was a hidden room that had three TVs displaying famous artworks: Edvard Munch’s The Scream, Georges Seurat’s Sunday Afternoon, and Hokusai’s The Great Wave off Kanagawa. “There’s some interesting pieces of art here,” said Bibo Xu, Google DeepMind’s lead product manager for Project Astra. “Is there one in particular that you would want to talk about?” Project Astra, Google’s prototype AI “universal agent,” responded smoothly. “The Sunday Afternoon artwork was discussed previously,” it replied. “Was there a particular detail about it you wish to discuss, or were you interested in discussing The Scream?” I was at Google’s sprawling Mountain View campus, seeing the latest projects from its AI lab DeepMind. One was Project Astra, a virtual assistant first demoed at Google I/O earlier this year. Currently contained in an app, it can process text, images, video, and audio in real time and respond to questions about them. It’s like a Siri or Alexa that’s slightly more natural to talk to, can see the world around you, and can “remember”... Read the full story at The Verge.

Resolving the war between Ukraine and Russia is a "priority," while Syria will have to "sort out its own problems," according to President-elect Donald Trump.

In what can only be described as the most ambitious quest for love in modern times, Lily Phillips, known in certain circles for her professional prowess, found herself in an unprecedented emotional crisis. Despite setting a new personal record by engaging in intimate relations with 100 men in a single day, Phillips was left devastated, not by physical exhaustion, but by the crushing realization that true love was nowhere to be found among her clients. Phillips, who has been dubbed “The Modern-Day Aphrodite” by her admirers, embarked on this marathon of love-seeking with high hopes. “I thought if I could connect with so many people in one day, surely one of them would be my soulmate,” she sobbed, surrounded by an impressive array of empty champagne bottles and discarded roses at her upscale, neon-lit apartment. The event, titled “Loveathon 2024,” was initially celebrated for its audacious approach to romance. Sponsored by a leading adult entertainment company, the day was meant to promote sex positivity while also, in Lily’s mind, doubling as the world’s most unconventional singles mixer. Yet, as the hours ticked by, what started as an exploration of human connection turned into a poignant commentary on the modern dating scene. “I asked each one if they believed in love at first sight,” Phillips recounted, mascara running down her cheeks like the tears of a Shakespearean heroine. “Most of them just asked for more pillows or if there was a discount for bulk.” The aftermath was as dramatic as the event itself. Phillips, who usually prides herself on her emotional detachment, found herself overwhelmed. “It’s like I’ve been on a hundred first dates,” she lamented, “but instead of coffee, it was… well, you know.” Her emotional breakdown was captured by a local journalist, who was initially there to document what they thought would be a new standard in sexual empowerment. Critics and supporters alike have weighed in on this unprecedented love quest. Dr. Fiona Heartwell, a psychologist specializing in modern relationships, commented, “While Lily’s method is… unconventional, it does highlight a universal truth. You can’t force love or connection, no matter how many people you meet. Perhaps this experience will lead to a deeper, more introspective journey for her.” Social media, ever the judge of human folly, was split. Some lauded Phillips for her tenacity, tweeting, “If Lily Phillips can’t find love, what hope do the rest of us have?” Others were less kind, with posts like, “Maybe love isn’t something you can buy or schedule into your work calendar.” In an unexpected twist, the day’s events have led to an outpouring of support from the community. A GoFundMe titled “Love for Lily” has been set up, aiming not to fund more marathon love searches but to help Phillips find genuine companionship through therapy, dating apps, and even a puppy, because, as the page states, “sometimes love begins with a wagging tail.” As for Phillips, she’s taken a step back from her usual activities, contemplating if perhaps love isn’t about numbers, but about the one unexpected moment when you connect with someone over something as simple as a shared love for bad reality TV or a mutual disdain for pineapple on pizza. In the meantime, she’s been seen around town not with her usual crowd but with a small, yappy dog named Romeo, who, she says, “might just be the only love I need right now.” Stay tuned, for in the world of Lily Phillips, the quest for love might just have taken its most charming turn yet.
