When chess engines surpassed humans, they became the training equipment. And as a result, human ability rose significantly. The same applies to AI and human intelligence.

🚨 BREAKING: Colorado DNA analyst Yvonne “Missy” Woods sentenced to 10 years after deleting male DNA in 32 rape cases — then reporting none was found. She spent 29 years as CBI’s star expert. Investigators now say 1,045 of her cases are tainted. Over 400 were sexual assaults. One murder conviction already tossed. An intern caught her. Concerns were raised more than a decade earlier. She kept testing rape kits anyway. In court, supporters packed the room. Victims shouted “LIAR! LIAR! LIAR!” as she was cuffed and led out. Colorado is now retesting more than 1,000 cases. Prosecutors already cut plea deals in three murder cases rather than risk her work in front of a jury. #Colorado #DNAScandal #JusticeDenied #CBI #SexualAssault

BREAKING: Iran has just unveiled a comprehensive exhibition of US and Israeli aircraft wreckage recovered during the Iran war at an underground IRGC Aerospace Force air-defense base. According to the IRGC: 1. Wreckage on display includes a US F-15E, multiple MQ-9 Reapers, multiple Hermes 900s and Hermes 450s, Elon Musk's Starlink Devices, and an intact Israeli Hermes 900 drone. 2. 171 aircraft (majority drones) were hit during the Iran war, including 10 crewed aircraft 3. The US F-15E was shot down on April 3 using a new domestically produced Iran air defense system and missile combined with unconventional tactics, leaving the crew "only seconds to react before impact" 4. More than 85% of Iran's air defense production infrastructure survived the war, with production rates for several missiles and systems now above pre-war levels 5. Iran also displayed Starlink terminals recovered from US and Israeli UAV operations and networks inside Iran 6. The wreckage displayed represents "only a portion of the aircraft and drones brought down" The IRGC says drone and missile production is now running at levels stronger than before the war.

Balenciaga does not sell a yellow plastic bag. This is a viral joke making fun of the "Trash Bag Large Pouch" line which comes in several colors and is an opaque leather bag designed to look like a trash can bag. saksfifthavenue.com/product/balenc…

✨🇨🇳This is a traditional wedding custom "Daoxi" in Cangzhou, China. Elders from the bride's family bow to her with hands folded, and younger relatives kneel and kowtow. It's a way to send blessings and show respect in Chinese wedding culture.

✨🇨🇳 Heartwarming moments like this are common in China. When traffic police officers are on duty and get caught in a sudden heavy rain, passing drivers will toss them an umbrella to help. The officers then salute to show their thanks. These small, kind acts perfectly show the mutual respect between the police and the public.
