A few months ago, Derek Carrier started seeing someone and became infatuated. He experienced a “ton” of romantic feelings but he also knew it was an illusion. That’s because his girlfriend was generated by artificial intelligence.
Carrier wasn’t looking to develop a relationship with something that wasn’t real, nor did he want to become the brunt of online jokes. But he did want a romantic partner he’d never had, in part because of a genetic

Every day, our modern lives are powered by thousands of Earth-orbiting satellites that enable everything from GPS signals to banking transactions to weather forecasts.
Those mundane, yet critical, functions of modern society could be upended instantly if the satellites were disrupted. According to multiple reports, Russia might now be trying to develop a space-based, nuclear-powered anti-satellite weapon that could do exactly that.
