'AI popstar' Grimes signs letter claiming artificial intelligence 'poses extinction risk’
Grimes, who described herself as an "AI popstar" recently on social media, is reportedly one of the people to have signed a statement warning of its risks to humanity. The singer signed the message from Center For AI Safety (CAIS) delving into the potential dangers of AI, according to Ars Technica. OpenAI and DeepMind’s executives also signed the message, which read: “Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.” A CAIS press release also stated that it wanted to “put guardrails in place and set up institutions so that AI risks don’t catch us off guard.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter “We need to be having the conversations that nuclear scientists were having before the creation of the atomic bomb,” Dan Hendrycks, CAIS’ director, also said. Grimes has been vocal in her support for the use of AI among her fan base recently, even sharing a how-to guide that helps people use her voice to create AI songs. The singer, real name Claire Elise Boucher, offered fans a chance to not only create their own music but to earn 50/50 royalties by distributing it. Writing on the singer said: “Grimes is now open source and self replicating.” Her Twitter bio also currently reads: “Self-replicating A.I. Popstar for the Martian Ministry of Propaganda.” Have your say in our news democracy. Click the upvote icon at the top of the page to help raise this article through the indy100 rankings.

Keanu Reeves saved Kate Beckinsale from exposing her 'crotch' on the red carpet
We all know The Matrix and John Wick star Keanu Reeves is a pretty cool guy, but an anecdote from actor Kate Beckinsale shared on Instagram is seeing the film star given some belated kudos for what happened at the Cannes Film Festival in 1993. The pair were due to appear on the red carpet for the film Much Ado About Nothing, which is a bit ironic considering Beckinsale revealed she suffered a wardrobe malfunction on her journey to the event. Posting a snap from the red carpet, explaining that her mum managed to find a picture from Cannes from more than two decades ago, the Underworld star explained that she bought the bodysuit in the photo from a Sock Shop at an airport. “When I got in the car to drive to the premiere with Denzel and Pauletta Washington, all the poppers in the crotch popped themselves open and it flipped up like a roller blind. “I didn’t feel it was appropriate to go delving around in my undercarriage with all of us in the back of the car so I just quietly panicked,” she said. A dreaded wardrobe malfunction. We hate to see it. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Beckinsale continued: “Walked out onto the biggest red carpet of my life and whispered to Keanu and Robert Sean Leonard what had happened. “In this picture I am holding the front gusset down and the two of them are holding the back gusset. Absolute legends who may not even have fully understood the physics of what was happening or even heard the word ‘gusset’ before, but both jumped in to save me no questions asked.” Not all heroes wear capes - well, unless they’re playing the iconic role of Neo in The Matrix franchise, that is. Responding to the story, King Kong star Naomi Watts wrote: “Hysterical." Meanwhile, fashion designer Bach Mai replied that he “[loves] this story”. Iconic. Have your say in our news democracy.
