Here’s what we know about the upcoming second season of the space Western action anime
Code in the beta suggests that listening to Apple Music Classical will require users to have the standard Apple Music app installed. “To listen in Apple Music Classical, you’ll need to install Apple Music,” reads a line in the MusicKit framework.
As of right now, there is no sign of an Apple Music Classical app in iOS 16.4, but that doesn’t mean that it won’t come in a later beta or with the iOS 16.4 launch.
Apple initially said in 2021 that Apple Music Classical would be introduced “next year,” aka, 2022, but that did not happen. There was no 2022 launch of the new classical music experience, and Apple has provided no updates on when we might expect to see the new app.
Apple promised that Apple Music Classical would be a dedicated classical music app that is separate from Apple Music, but this makes it clear that the Apple Music Classical app will also require Apple Music to be installed.
This is not the first time that we’ve seen references to Apple Music Classical in an iOS 16 update. iOS 16.3, for example, added “Open in Apple Music Classical” wording to the code, and there have also been mentions of the feature in backend code on Apple’s site.
It is unclear why Apple has taken so long to introduce an Apple Music Classical app, and though we continue to see signs of it, it still remains a mystery as to whether it will come in iOS 16.4, a later iOS 16 update, or iOS 17.

Just months after acquiring Twitter, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is now distracted by the newest shiny object: AI chatbots.
According to a new report from The Information, Musk is looking into creating an artificial intelligence research lab in order to develop his very own version of OpenAI’s incredibly successful ChatGPT. The billionaire has reportedly already reached out to AI researchers for the project.
Igor Babuschkin, a former senior AI researcher at Google’s Deepmind, is one such person that Musk contacted to lead his AI chatbot vision. Babuschkin confirmed to The Information that he had not yet agreed to work for Musk’s project.
While there are not many details yet about Musk’s potential AI project, the billionaire has been quite vocal with his criticisms of ChatGPT. Musk himself co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but has since completely cut ties with the company. He left OpenAI’s board in 2018.
“OpenAI was created as an open source (which is why I named it “Open” AI), non-profit company to serve as a counterweight to Google, but now it has become a closed source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft,” Musk tweeted on Feb. 17. “Not what I intended at all,” he added.
Months earlier, Musk did heap some praise on ChatGPT while also warning about its future potential.
“ChatGPT is scary good,” Musk said last year. “We are not far from dangerously strong AI.”
One of Musk’s primary critiques of ChatGPT, however, has been the safeguards programmed into the chatbot. For example, earlier this month, a “thought experiment” leveled at ChatGPT by a right wing writer sought to find out if the bot would deem it permissible to use racial slurs in order to stop a nuclear bomb. Being that the chatbot is not sentient and programmed to only answer in a certain way, ChatGPT replied that it was never okay to use a racial slur. Musk found it “concerning” that ChatGPT’s refused to deem this hypothetical scenario as a morally acceptable use of a racial slur.
“The danger of training AI to be woke – in other words, lie – is deadly,” Musk tweeted in December.
Based on Musk’s ideological reasons for acquiring Twitter, his regular interactions with right wing Twitter users, his unbanning of previously suspended far right personalities and white supremacists, and – most recently – his defense of Dilbert creator Scott Adams, it’s not hard to imagine what Musk’s intent is in looking to create his own AI chatbot.
However, according to Babuschkin, Musk wasn’t looking to create an AI chatbot in order to remove such safeguards.
Musk has seemingly confirmed that he’s at least interested in an AI project in a series of tweets on Tuesday.
“BasedAI,” Musk posted in one tweet before following up with a doge-related meme.
Will Musk’s AI plans come to fruition? Or is this yet another instance of the billionaire failing to deliver? That obviously remains to be seen. But, as Gizmodo points out, Tesla’s investors have already pleaded with Musk to stop wasting time on Twitter while Tesla subsequently tanks in value. Yet another time-consuming project for Musk is likely the last thing they want right now.
It turns out that the meta in Overwatch 2 isn’t all that important after all, as players prefer playing as their favourite character over who’s meant to be the best.
In pretty much all competitive games, no matter how much you like a particular character, they might not actually be the best when it comes to said competitive aspect. Overwatch 2, being a competitive shooter, obviously falls under that bracket, but in a new blog post on the game from game director Aaron Keller, you might be surprised to hear that players aren’t picking heroes solely based on them having the highest kill rates (thanks, PC Gamer).
One of the big things that players have observed was confirmed in the blog, which is that Brigitte is basically one of the best characters in the game right now in terms of support characters. “Brigitte has really popped this season and has the highest win rate for nearly all skill tiers except for Top 500, where Zen takes the lead, with both averaging out to a nearly 55% win rate,” writer Keller. “On the other end of the spectrum are Kiriko and Moira at around 45%.”
A COUPLE shared their baby’s name on Reddit hoping that users would appreciate its uniqueness.
The public, however, didn’t like it as much as they thought they would.
A couple came up with a bizarre baby name based on their love of “grammar and literature” (stock)[/caption]
Posting anonymously to a mom-based Reddit group, the woman explained the reason behind the moniker for their little one.
“We chose Alphabeta Silver and plan on calling her Betty for short,” she wrote.
Why the strange choice?
“We both love grammar and literature, and we instantly agreed when we heard the name.”
The woman said that her mother-in-law, however, wasn’t a fan.
“[She] is giving me so much grief over it.”
Still, the couple wasn’t going to let her opinion change their plans.
“My mother-in-law isn’t going to make any more choices for us. She has controlled everything, from our engagement photos to our wedding day, and this is where I draw the line!”
Looking for an outsider’s opinion, she asked Reddit users to “be honest” with her and share their thoughts on the name.
Unfortunately, they weren’t on her side.
“For loving grammar and literature so much, they really don’t have much of an imagination if all they came up with was to name their kid Alphabet,” one person wrote.
“Seriously. If you want to show a love of literature, there are so many options. Character names, author names, place names, etc.” another advised.
“Literally Grammar would be a better name,” a third chimed in.
One person noted that it sparked a memory: “I’m not the only one old enough to remember the Alphabeta grocery store from the 80s, right?”
A fifth agreed with the mother-in-law: “Honestly, if my son has kids and wants to call his kid ‘Alphabeta Silver,’ I would probably give him and his partner some grief too.”
Others thought the parent’s interests were a bit boring:
“We both love grammar…?” one person wrote.
And another created an imaginary scenario of what the couple was like: “What is there to enjoy here? I get literature. But grammar is such a bizarre intro to their list of interests.
“Do they sit around and mark Facebook posts they have printed off together? Is there a whiteboard in the living room where they try to trip one another up with a misplaced comma?
“Do they have a lifetime subscription to Grammarly? Are there games dedicated to this? Or do they collect English workbooks that they line their bookshelves with?”
Someone said it reminded them of an old grocery store chain[/caption]
Hulu’s new docuseries Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawerence brings the story of Larry Ray’s manipulation and exploitation of a group of Sarah Lawerence students to the small screen.
The story was brought to light in 2019 in a New York Magazine feature story which led to an FBI investigation resulting in Ray being sentenced to 60 years in prison for sex trafficking, extortion, conspiracy, and forced labor last month. The three-part docuseries features first-hand accounts of Ray’s abuse that spanned a decade. Here’s the true story behind the documentary:
Ray first met the group of sophomores at Sarah Lawerence through his daughter Talia, herself a student at the New York liberal arts college. After his release from prison in the fall of 2010, Ray moved into Talia’s dorm, inserted himself into her friends’ lives, and gained their trust through “therapy sessions” he conducted. Ray’s victims included Talia’s boyfriend at the time, and her roommates Santos Rosario, Daniel Levin, Isabella Pollok, and Claudia Drury. Later Rosario introduced Ray to his sisters Felicia Rosario and Yalitza Rosario, who also fell under his influence.
After becoming a confidant of the young people, he convinced Talia and her friends to move into a one-bedroom apartment on the Upper East Side of New York where his relationship with the students escalated. He mentally and physically tortured them, coerced them into confessing to crimes they didn’t commit through sleep-derivation, verbal abuse, and sexual humiliation, and extorted hundreds of thousands of dollars from them and their families. He forced one young woman into sex work and pocketed the hundreds of thousands of dollars she earned from it.
Ray’s sphere of influence and expert manipulation extended beyond the Sarah Lawerence students. Prior to his involvement with them, the Brooklyn native became close to former NYPD commissioner Bernie Kerik, a connection that lead to a stint as an FBI informant for a pump-and-dump stock scheme operated by a capo in the Gambino family.
“Larry Ray is a psychotic con man who has victimized every friend he’s ever had. It’s been close to 20 years since I last heard from him, yet his reign of terror continues,” said Kerik in the New York Magazine article.
FBI reports revealed that Ray was an unreliable informant and may have in fact used the role to cover his own complicity in the Gambino stock fraud scheme. In 2000, he was charged for his involvement in the scheme and was sentenced to five years’ probation. By 2007, Ray would again serve time due to a child custody dispute, which prosecutors argued was a violation of his parole. It was upon his release from that charge that he preyed upon the Sarah Lawerence students.
According to New York Magazine, it was Levin who first put the pieces together that Roy’s treatment of the group was characteristic of a cult. By 2016, Yalitza and Levin had escaped from Roy’s control, but the others remained under his dominance until his arrest in 2020. What began as a normal college experience ended in unimaginable horror for this group of students.
The Diablo 4 beta release date may be revealed soon, as Blizzard boss Rod Fergusson, formerly of Bioshock and Gears of War fame, teases the possibility of more details on the RPG game coming at an event held later in February which will also feature Harry Potter game Hogwarts Legacy and the upcoming Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Hopefully, we’ll get ample chance to play Blizzard’s latest ahead of the full Diablo 4 release date.
