Shortly before Google introduced Bard, its AI chatbot, to the public in March, it asked employees to test the tool. One worker's conclusion: Bard was "a pathological liar,' according to screenshots of the internal discussion. Another called it "cringe-worthy.' One employee wrote that when they asked Bard suggestions for how to land a plane, it regularly gave advice that would lead to a crash; another said it gave answers on scuba diving "which would likely result in serious injury or death.' Google launched Bard anyway.

Peter Walsh is a Hobart local who enjoys the outdoor life and it's there he found new meaning after being diagnosed with a life-altering brain injury. He loves the waterways, especially the picturesque Hobart Rivulet, which is where he formed a surprising bond with a platypus that swam over to Peter whenever he visited. The female platypus was eventually named Zoom by Pete's partner Vonna Keller. Why? Because she zoomed through the water towards Pete with a waggle as soon as he arrived in her vicinity.

Melissa Sue Gerrits/Getty Images (WASHINGTON) -- Former President Donald Trump's legal team says that a protective order proposed by special counsel Jack Smith would infringe on Trump's right to free speech. Trump's attorneys made the argument in their response Monday to the special counsel's motion for a protective order over the discovery evidence in the case against Trump for allegedly seeking to overturn the 2020 election. Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges of undertaking a "criminal scheme" to overturn the results of the 2020 election by enlisting a slate of so-called "fake electors" targeting several states; using the Justice Department to conduct "sham election crime investigations"; and trying to enlist the vice president to "alter the election results" -- all in an effort to subvert democracy and remain in power.

As Britain redefines its modern identity, the Cornish are re-finding their place in the nation through their ancient language, Kernewek. "Here lived Dolly Pentreath, one of the last speakers of the Cornish language, as her native tongue died December 1777." So says a faded granite plaque on an old stone wall in Mousehole, a fishing village in south-western Cornwall that heaved with holidaymakers on a hot summer's afternoon. I stopped to take in this momentous linguistic monument, then turned against the crowd and walked uphill along a sunken lane until a half mile later I stumbled into a graveyard.
