Verse 31: Panic at the Disco
Hello! What do you get when you cross a crab-catching pot with glitzy lights? An all-night scallop disco. UK scientists have discovered that adding lights to crab-catching pot attracts scallops in droves. It’s good for the marine environment as no more dredging to catch scallops. Who knew scallops had the John Travolta gene?
Among other items of note in this issue; the multi-billion-dollar potential of synthetic data, an exoskeleton that uses AI to help people walk faster, and can we tell if a picture is fake.

Verse 29: Politicians are Robots!
Hello! Politicians are often accused of giving robotic answers - but politicians in the UK may just have been shown how it’s really done. In a groundbreaking hearing, a robot “gave evidence” to a House of Lords committee. However Ai-Da, described as the ‘world’s first ultra-realistic robot artist’, struggled at times to answer peers’ questions. During the proceedings, the robot needed to be reset, with sunglasses put on her face as "when we reset her, she can sometimes pull quite interesting faces". So that’s why politicians always have a pair of aviators in their pockets!

Verse 22: History Revealing Itself
Hello there! Scorching, global drought has uncovered lost artifacts around the world including historic relics as water levels recede. These include; rare dinosaur tracks in Texas' Dinosaur Valley State Park, a Spanish 'Stonehenge' (from 5000 BC), over a dozen Nazi ships surfacing on the drying Danube River in Serbia, and a trio of 600 year old Buddhist statues on a formerly submerged island on China's Yangtze River. Then there’s Lake Mead, where officials have so far found five sets of human remains! Has anything interesting been revealed in your local reservoirs?

As models are given more data and more parameters, they become not just bigger but better. And, perhaps more importantly, they become capable of doing things their creators may not have imagined.

It’s a sad day in the U.S. and you’re probably sick of hearing about it, but take note our dear readers, this decision is WAY MORE than just about a woman’s legal right to abortion. This will throw many more privacy rights into question and will definitely overly impact Millenials, Gen Z and future age groups in the U.S.
